commit 984cadea032b103c5824a5f29d0a36b3e9df6333 upstream. The clear-residuals mitigation is a relatively heavy hammer and under some circumstances the user may wish to forgo the context isolation in order to meet some performance requirement. Introduce a generic module parameter to allow selectively enabling/disabling different mitigations. To disable just the clear-residuals mitigation (on Ivybridge, Baytrail, or Haswell) use the module parameter: i915.mitigations=auto,!residuals Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/1858 Fixes: 47f8253d2b89 ("drm/i915/gen7: Clear all EU/L3 residual contexts") Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jon Bloomfield <jon.bloomfield@intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.7 Reviewed-by: Jon Bloomfield <jon.bloomfield@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210111225220.3483-3-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk (cherry picked from commit f7452c7cbd5b5dfb9a6c84cb20bea04c89be50cd) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
