2014-08-05Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipLinus Torvalds1-2/+2
Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines. Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :) - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures. - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users. - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it definitely belongs into the ugly code museum. - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo. - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable for correlation of traces accross separate machines. - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd. - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code. - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code. - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC specific timers. [ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ] - Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for a few obnoxious strongholds. - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (114 commits) timekeeping: Fixup typo in update_vsyscall_old definition clocksource: document some basic timekeeping concepts timekeeping: Use cached ntp_tick_length when accumulating error timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz timekeeping: Minor fixup for timespec64->timespec assignment ftrace: Provide trace clocks monotonic timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch() seqcount: Provide raw_read_seqcount() timekeeping: Use tk_read_base as argument for timekeeping_get_ns() timekeeping: Create struct tk_read_base and use it in struct timekeeper timekeeping: Restructure the timekeeper some more clocksource: Get rid of cycle_last clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core code clocksource: Make delta calculation a function wireless: ath9k: Get rid of timespec conversions drm: vmwgfx: Use nsec based interfaces drm: i915: Use nsec based interfaces timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_raw() hangcheck-timer: Use ktime_get_ns() ...

2014-07-08reservation: update api and add some helpersMaarten Lankhorst1-0/+1
Move the list of shared fences to a struct, and return it in reservation_object_get_list(). Add reservation_object_get_excl to get the exclusive fence. Add reservation_object_reserve_shared(), which reserves space in the reservation_object for 1 more shared fence. reservation_object_add_shared_fence() and reservation_object_add_excl_fence() are used to assign a new fence to a reservation_object pointer, to complete a reservation. Changes since v1: - Add reservation_object_get_excl, reorder code a bit.

2014-07-08seqno-fence: Hardware dma-buf implementation of fencing (v6)Maarten Lankhorst1-0/+2
This type of fence can be used with hardware synchronization for simple hardware that can block execution until the condition (dma_buf[offset] - value) >= 0 has been met when WAIT_GEQUAL is used, or (dma_buf[offset] != 0) has been met when WAIT_NONZERO is set. A software fallback still has to be provided in case the fence is used with a device that doesn't support this mechanism. It is useful to expose this for graphics cards that have an op to support this. Some cards like i915 can export those, but don't have an option to wait, so they need the software fallback. I extended the original patch by Rob Clark. v1: Original v2: Renamed from bikeshed to seqno, moved into dma-fence.c since not much was left of the file. Lots of documentation added. v3: Use fence_ops instead of custom callbacks. Moved to own file to avoid circular dependency between dma-buf.h and fence.h v4: Add spinlock pointer to seqno_fence_init v5: Add condition member to allow wait for != 0. Fix small style errors pointed out by checkpatch. v6: Move to a separate file. Fix up api changes in fences.

2014-07-08fence: dma-buf cross-device synchronization (v18)Maarten Lankhorst1-0/+2
A fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to wake up userspace. A driver must allocate a fence context for each execution ring that can run in parallel. The function for this takes an argument with how many contexts to allocate: + fence_context_alloc() A fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached to one or more dma-buf's. When the one that attached it is done, with the pending operation, it can signal the fence: + fence_signal() To have a rough approximation whether a fence is fired, call: + fence_is_signaled() The dma-buf-mgr handles tracking, and waiting on, the fences associated with a dma-buf. The one pending on the fence can add an async callback: + fence_add_callback() The callback can optionally be cancelled with: + fence_remove_callback() To wait synchronously, optionally with a timeout: + fence_wait() + fence_wait_timeout() When emitting a fence, call: + trace_fence_emit() To annotate that a fence is blocking on another fence, call: + trace_fence_annotate_wait_on(fence, on_fence) A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for synchronization. For example: fence = custom_get_fence(...); if ((seqno_fence = to_seqno_fence(fence)) != NULL) { dma_buf *fence_buf = seqno_fence->sync_buf; get_dma_buf(fence_buf); ... tell the hw the memory location to wait ... custom_wait_on(fence_buf, seqno_fence->seqno_ofs, fence->seqno); } else { /* fall-back to sw sync * / fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb); } On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation with it's own fence ops in a similar way. enable_signaling callback is used to provide sw signaling in case a cpu waiter is requested or no compatible hardware signaling could be used. The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd) later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own synchronization). v1: Original v2: After discussion w/ danvet and mlankhorst on #dri-devel, we decided that dma-fence didn't need to care about the sw->hw signaling path (it can be handled same as sw->sw case), and therefore the fence->ops can be simplified and more handled in the core. So remove the signal, add_callback, cancel_callback, and wait ops, and replace with a simple enable_signaling() op which can be used to inform a fence supporting hw->hw signaling that one or more devices which do not support hw signaling are waiting (and therefore it should enable an irq or do whatever is necessary in order that the CPU is notified when the fence is passed). v3: Fix locking fail in attach_fence() and get_fence() v4: Remove tie-in w/ dma-buf.. after discussion w/ danvet and mlankorst we decided that we need to be able to attach one fence to N dma-buf's, so using the list_head in dma-fence struct would be problematic. v5: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Updated for dma-bikeshed-fence and dma-buf-manager. v6: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] I removed dma_fence_cancel_callback and some comments about checking if fence fired or not. This is broken by design. waitqueue_active during destruction is now fatal, since the signaller should be holding a reference in enable_signalling until it signalled the fence. Pass the original dma_fence_cb along, and call __remove_wait in the dma_fence_callback handler, so that no cleanup needs to be performed. v7: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Set cb->func and only enable sw signaling if fence wasn't signaled yet, for example for hardware fences that may choose to signal blindly. v8: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Tons of tiny fixes, moved __dma_fence_init to header and fixed include mess. dma-fence.h now includes dma-buf.h All members are now initialized, so kmalloc can be used for allocating a dma-fence. More documentation added. v9: Change compiler bitfields to flags, change return type of enable_signaling to bool. Rework dma_fence_wait. Added dma_fence_is_signaled and dma_fence_wait_timeout. s/dma// and change exports to non GPL. Added fence_is_signaled and fence_enable_sw_signaling calls, add ability to override default wait operation. v10: remove event_queue, use a custom list, export try_to_wake_up from scheduler. Remove fence lock and use a global spinlock instead, this should hopefully remove all the locking headaches I was having on trying to implement this. enable_signaling is called with this lock held. v11: Use atomic ops for flags, lifting the need for some spin_lock_irqsaves. However I kept the guarantee that after fence_signal returns, it is guaranteed that enable_signaling has either been called to completion, or will not be called any more. Add contexts and seqno to base fence implementation. This allows you to wait for less fences, by testing for seqno + signaled, and then only wait on the later fence. Add FENCE_TRACE, FENCE_WARN, and FENCE_ERR. This makes debugging easier. An CONFIG_DEBUG_FENCE will be added to turn off the FENCE_TRACE spam, and another runtime option can turn it off at runtime. v12: Add CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE. Add missing documentation for the fence->context and fence->seqno members. v13: Fixup CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE kconfig description. Move fence_context_alloc to fence. Simplify fence_later. Kill priv member to fence_cb. v14: Remove priv argument from fence_add_callback, oops! v15: Remove priv from documentation. Explicitly include linux/atomic.h. v16: Add trace events. Import changes required by android syncpoints. v17: Use wake_up_state instead of try_to_wake_up. (Colin Cross) Fix up commit description for seqno_fence. (Rob Clark) v18: Rename release_fence to fence_release. Move to drivers/dma-buf/. Rename __fence_is_signaled and __fence_signal to *_locked. Rename __fence_init to fence_init. Make fence_default_wait return a signed long, and fix wait ops too.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie: "Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong place, but the warning should be fixed. In future I'll just take the patch myself! Outside drm: There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell, they've been acked for inclusion via my tree. This relies on the wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged. Major changes: AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their GPUs from r600->present day, this is great, off by default for now but also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.

2013-06-28reservation: cross-device reservation support, v4Maarten Lankhorst1-0/+2
This adds support for a generic reservations framework that can be hooked up to ttm and dma-buf and allows easy sharing of reservations across devices. The idea is that a dma-buf and ttm object both will get a pointer to a struct reservation_object, which has to be reserved before anything is done with the contents of the dma-buf. Changes since v1: - Fix locking issue in ticket_reserve, which could cause mutex_unlock to be called too many times. Changes since v2: - All fence related calls and members have been taken out for now, what's left is the bare minimum to be useful for ttm locking conversion. Changes since v3: - Removed helper functions too. The documentation has an example implementation for locking. With the move to ww_mutex there is no need to have much logic any more.
