1df6a2ebd7 drm/ttm: Fix two race conditions + fix busy codepaths
This fixes a race pointed out by Dave Airlie where we don't take a buffer
object about to be destroyed off the LRU lists properly. It also fixes a rare
case where a buffer object could be destroyed in the middle of an
accelerated eviction.

The patch also adds a utility function that can be used to prematurely
release GPU memory space usage of an object waiting to be destroyed.
For example during eviction or swapout.

The above mentioned commit didn't queue the buffer on the delayed destroy
list under some rare circumstances. It also didn't completely honor the
remove_all parameter.

5870a4d97d drm/ttm: Allocate the page pool manager in the heap.
Repeated ttm_page_alloc_init/fini fails noisily because the pool
manager kobj isn't zeroed out between uses (we could do just that but
statically allocated kobjects are generally considered a bad thing).
Move it to kzalloc'ed memory.

Note that this patch drops the refcounting behavior of the pool
allocator init/fini functions: it would have led to a race condition
in its current form, and anyway it was never exploited.

This fixes a regression with reloading kms modules at runtime, since
page allocator was introduced.

82c5da6bf8 drm/ttm: ttm_fault callback to allow driver to handle bo placement V6
On fault the driver is given the opportunity to perform any operation
it sees fit in order to place the buffer into a CPU visible area of
memory. This patch doesn't break TTM users, nouveau, vmwgfx and radeon
should keep working properly. Future patch will take advantage of this
infrastructure and remove the old path from TTM once driver are
converted.

V2 return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE if callback return -EBUSY or -ERESTARTSYS
V3 balance io_mem_reserve and io_mem_free call, fault_reserve_notify
   is responsible to perform any necessary task for mapping to succeed
V4 minor cleanup, atomic_t -> bool as member is protected by reserve
   mecanism from concurent access
V5 the callback is now responsible for iomapping the bo and providing
   a virtual address this simplify TTM and will allow to get rid of
   TTM_MEMTYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_IOREMAP
V6 use the bus addr data to decide to ioremap or this isn't needed
   but we don't necesarily need to ioremap in the callback but still
   allow driver to use static mapping

1403b1a38e drm/ttm: add pool wc/uc page allocator V3
On AGP system we might allocate/free routinely uncached or wc memory,
changing page from cached (wb) to uc or wc is very expensive and involves
a lot of flushing. To improve performance this allocator use a pool
of uc,wc pages.

Pools are protected with spinlocks to allow multiple threads to allocate pages
simultanously. Expensive operations are done outside of spinlock to maximize
concurrency.

Pools are linked lists of pages that were recently freed. mm shrink callback
allows kernel to claim back pages when they are required for something else.

Fixes:
* set_pages_array_wb handles highmem pages so we don't have to remove them
  from pool.
* Add count parameter to ttm_put_pages to avoid looping in free code.
* Change looping from _safe to normal in pool fill error path.
* Initialize sum variable and make the loop prettier in get_num_unused_pages.

* Moved pages_freed reseting inside the loop in ttm_page_pool_free.
* Add warning comment about spinlock context in ttm_page_pool_free.

Based on Jerome Glisse's and Dave Airlie's pool allocator.

ca262a9998 drm/ttm: Rework validation & memory space allocation (V3)
This change allow driver to pass sorted memory placement,
from most prefered placement to least prefered placement.
In order to avoid long function prototype a structure is
used to gather memory placement informations such as range
restriction (if you need a buffer to be in given range).
Range restriction is determined by fpfn & lpfn which are
the first page and last page number btw which allocation
can happen. If those fields are set to 0 ttm will assume
buffer can be put anywhere in the address space (thus it
avoids putting a burden on the driver to always properly
set those fields).

This patch also factor few functions like evicting first
entry of lru list or getting a memory space. This avoid
code duplication.

V2: Change API to use placement flags and array instead
    of packing placement order into a quadword.
V3: Make sure we set the appropriate mem.placement flag
    when validating or allocation memory space.

[Pending Thomas Hellstrom further review but okay
from preliminary review so far].

e024e11070 drm/radeon/kms: add initial colortiling support.
This adds new set/get tiling interfaces where the pitch
and macro/micro tiling enables can be set. Along with
a flag to decide if this object should have a surface when mapped.

The only thing we need to allocate with a mapped surface should be
the frontbuffer. Note rotate scanout shouldn't require one, and
back/depth shouldn't either, though mesa needs some fixes.

It fixes the TTM interfaces along Thomas's suggestions, and I've tested
the surface stealing code with two X servers and not seen any lockdep issues.

I've stopped tiling the fbcon frontbuffer, as I don't see there being
any advantage other than testing, I've left the testing commands in there,
just flip the fb_tiled to true in radeon_fb.c

Open: Can we integrate endian swapping in with this?

Future features:
texture tiling - need to relocate texture registers TXOFFSET* with tiling info.

This also merges Michel's cleanup surfaces regs at init time patch
even though it makes sense on its own, this patch really relies on it.

Some PowerMac firmwares set up a tiling surface at the beginning of VRAM
which messes us up otherwise.

ba4e7d973d drm: Add the TTM GPU memory manager subsystem.
TTM is a GPU memory manager subsystem designed for use with GPU
devices with various memory types (On-card VRAM, AGP,
PCI apertures etc.). It's essentially a helper library that assists
the DRM driver in creating and managing persistent buffer objects.

TTM manages placement of data and CPU map setup and teardown on
data movement. It can also optionally manage synchronization of
data on a per-buffer-object level.

TTM takes care to provide an always valid virtual user-space address
to a buffer object which makes user-space sub-allocation of
big buffer objects feasible.

TTM uses a fine-grained per buffer-object locking scheme, taking
care to release all relevant locks when waiting for the GPU.
Although this implies some locking overhead, it's probably a big
win for devices with multiple command submission mechanisms, since
the lock contention will be minimal.

TTM can be used with whatever user-space interface the driver
chooses, including GEM. It's used by the upcoming Radeon KMS DRM driver
and is also the GPU memory management core of various new experimental
DRM drivers.
