[Intel-gfx] forcewake junk, part2

2011-04-09 Thread Ben Widawsky
The request to test, and report the warnings is still desired. These address all of Chris' comments from IRC (I think). I tried to put the reasoning in the code comments, as well as commits; but I'll add it here for completeness. Simplify the acquisition of the forcewake lock by removing the

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/4] drm/i915: refcounts for forcewake

2011-04-09 Thread Ben Widawsky
New refcounting mechanism for forcewake. The idea is to take away the need to hold struct_mutex for the duration of register reads, and only need to hold it to get a reference count. A possible benefit would shave off some time in actually waking the GPU if it's already awake (a couple of extra

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/4] drm/i915: userspace interface to the forcewake refcount

2011-04-09 Thread Ben Widawsky
Provide debugfs access to the refcounted forcewake. This allows a userspace utility to access some of those hard to reach registers on newer GPUs. The interface is root-only. The interface is referred to as a forcewake lock. The term lock refers to the synchronization between software and

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: optional fewer warning patch

2011-04-09 Thread Ben Widawsky
This patch will likely produce much fewer warnings, but perhaps hide some bugs in the driver. Any warnings while using this patch are extremely likely to cause problems, while warnings without this patch are also driver bugs, but much less likely to be causing issues. Without this patch we may

[Intel-gfx] Finding git commits

2011-04-09 Thread Ian Pilcher
Fedora 15 recently pushed a test update that caused some problems on my system. The update is basically a single patch file that appears to be built from several git commits. I would like to test the commits individually to see which one is causing the problem. I have cloned
