e06b14ee91 drm/radeon/kms: handle the case of no active displays properly in the bandwidth code
Logic was:
if (mode0 && mode1)
else if (mode0)
else

Should be:
if (mode0 && mode1)
else if (mode0)
else if (mode1)

Otherwise we may end up calculating the priority regs with
unitialized values.

4c712e6c7e drm/radeon/kms: check/restore sanity before doing anything else with GPU.
On systems using kexec, the new kernel is booted straight from the old kernel, without any warning to the graphics driver. So the GPU is basically left as-is in a running state, however the CPU side is completly reset.

Without stating the saneness of anyone using kexec on live systems, we should at least try not to crash the GPU. This patch resets 3 registers to 0 that could cause bad things to happen to the running system.

This allows kexec to work on a Power6/RN50 system.

8d369bb196 drm/radeon/kms: fix gtt MC base alignment on rs4xx/rs690/rs740 asics
The asics in question have the following requirements with regard to
their gart setups:

1. The GART aperture size has to be in the form of 2^X bytes, where X is from 25 to 31
2. The GART aperture MC base has to be aligned to a boundary equal to the size of the
aperture.
3. The GART page table has to be aligned to the boundary equal to the size of the table.
4. The GART page table size is: table_entry_size * (aperture_size / page_size)
5. The GART page table has to be allocated in non-paged, non-cached, contiguous system
memory.

This patch takes care 2.  The rest should already be handled properly.

This fixes a regression noticed by: Torsten Kaiser <just.for.lkml@googlemail.com>

ce8f53709b drm/radeon/kms/pm: rework power management
- Separate dynpm and profile based power management methods.  You can select the pm method
  by echoing the selected method ("dynpm" or "profile") to power_method in sysfs.
- Expose basic 4 profile in profile method
  "default" - default clocks
  "auto" - select between low and high based on ac/dc state
  "low" - DC, low power mode
  "high" - AC, performance mode
  The current base profile is "default", but it should switched to "auto" once we've tested
  on more systems.  Switching the state is a matter of echoing the requested profile to
  power_profile in sysfs.  The lowest power states are selected automatically when dpms turns
  the monitors off in all states but default.
- Remove dynamic fence-based reclocking for the moment.  We can revisit this later once we
  have basic pm in.
- Move pm init/fini to modesetting path.  pm is tightly coupled with display state.  Make sure
  display side is initialized before pm.
- Add pm suspend/resume functions to make sure pm state is properly reinitialized on resume.
- Remove dynpm module option.  It's now selectable via sysfs.

90aca4d274 drm/radeon/kms: simplify & improve GPU reset V2
This simplify and improve GPU reset for R1XX-R6XX hw, it's
not 100% reliable here are result:
- R1XX/R2XX works bunch of time in a row, sometimes it
  seems it can work indifinitly
- R3XX/R3XX the most unreliable one, sometimes you will be
  able to reset few times, sometimes not even once
- R5XX more reliable than previous hw, seems to work most
  of the times but once in a while it fails for no obvious
  reasons (same status than previous reset just no same
  happy ending)
- R6XX/R7XX are lot more reliable with this patch, still
  it seems that it can fail after a bunch (reset every
  2sec for 3hour bring down the GPU & computer)

This have been tested on various hw, for some odd reasons
i wasn't able to lockup RS480/RS690 (while they use to
love locking up).

Note that on R1XX-R5XX the cursor will disapear after
lockup haven't checked why, switch to console and back
to X will restore cursor.

Next step is to record the bogus command that leaded to
the lockup.

V2 Fix r6xx resume path to avoid reinitializing blit
module, use the gpu_lockup boolean to avoid entering
inifinite waiting loop on fence while reiniting the GPU

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

d594e46ace drm/radeon/kms: simplify memory controller setup V2
Get rid of _location and use _start/_end also simplify the
computation of vram_start|end & gtt_start|end. For R1XX-R2XX
we place VRAM at the same address of PCI aperture, those GPU
shouldn't have much memory and seems to behave better when
setup that way. For R3XX and newer we place VRAM at 0. For
R6XX-R7XX AGP we place VRAM before or after AGP aperture this
might limit to limit the VRAM size but it's very unlikely.
For IGP we don't change the VRAM placement.

Tested on (compiz,quake3,suspend/resume):
PCI/PCIE:RV280,R420,RV515,RV570,RV610,RV710
AGP:RV100,RV280,R420,RV350,RV620(RPB*),RV730
IGP:RS480(RPB*),RS690,RS780(RPB*),RS880

RPB: resume previously broken

V2 correct commit message to reflect more accurately the bug
and move VRAM placement to 0 for most of the GPU to avoid
limiting VRAM.

655efd3dc9 drm/radeon/kms: don't call suspend path before cleaning up GPU
In suspend path we unmap the GART table while in cleaning up
path we will unbind buffer and thus try to write to unmapped
GART leading to oops. In order to avoid this we don't call the
suspend path in cleanup path. Cleanup path is clever enough
to desactive GPU like the suspend path is doing, thus this was
redondant.

cafe6609d6 drm/radeon/kms: Schedule host path read cache flush through the ring V2
R300 family will hard lockup if host path read cache flush is
done through MMIO to HOST_PATH_CNTL. But scheduling same flush
through ring seems harmless. This patch remove the hdp_flush
callback and add a flush after each fence emission which means
a flush after each IB schedule. Thus we should have same behavior
without the hard lockup.

068a117ca3 drm/radeon: command stream checker for r3xx-r5xx hardware
For security purpose we want to make sure the userspace process doesn't
access memory beyond buffer it owns. To achieve this we need to check
states the userspace program. For color buffer and zbuffer we check that
the clipping register will discard access beyond buffers set as color
or zbuffer. For vertex buffer we check that no vertex fetch will happen
beyond buffer end. For texture we check various texture states (number
of mipmap level, texture size, texture depth, ...) to compute the amount
of memory the texture fetcher might access.

The command stream checking impact the performances so far quick benchmark
shows an average of 3% decrease in fps of various applications. It can
be optimized a bit more by caching result of checking and thus avoid a
full recheck if no states changed since last check.

Note that this patch is still incomplete on checking side as it doesn't
check 2d rendering states.

771fe6b912 drm/radeon: introduce kernel modesetting for radeon hardware
Add kernel modesetting support to radeon driver, use the ttm memory
manager to manage memory and DRM/GEM to provide userspace API.
In order to avoid backward compatibility issue and to allow clean
design and code the radeon kernel modesetting use different code path
than old radeon/drm driver.

When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
in the log and they return failure.

KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
the position of the different buffers.

The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current
experimental userspace to run.

This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX,
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX).
