2009-12-18drm: convert drm_ioctl to unlocked_ioctlArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
drm_ioctl is called with the Big Kernel Lock held, which shows up very high in statistics on vfs_ioctl. Moving the lock into the drm_ioctl function itself makes sure we blame the right subsystem and it gets us one step closer to eliminating the locked version of fops->ioctl. Since drm_ioctl does not require the lock itself, we only need to hold it while calling the specific handler. The 32 bit conversion handlers do not interact with any other code, so they don't need the BKL here either and can just call drm_ioctl. As a bonus, this cleans up all the other users of drm_ioctl which now no longer have to find the inode or call lock_kernel. [airlied: squashed the non-driver bits of the second patch in here, this provides the flag for drivers to use to select unlocked ioctls - but doesn't modify any drivers].

2009-03-13drm: Drop unused and broken dri_library_name sysfs attribute.Kristian Høgsberg1-6/+0
The kernel shouldn't be in the business of telling user space which driver to load. The kernel defers mapping PCI IDs to module names to user space and we should do the same for DRI drivers. And in fact, that's how it does work today. Nothing uses the dri_library_name attribute, and the attribute is in fact broken. For intel devices, it falls back to the default behaviour of returning the kernel module name as the DRI driver name, which doesn't work for i965 devices. Nobody has ever hit this problem or filed a bug about this. Signed-off-by: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
2008-10-18drm: Rework vblank-wait handling to allow interrupt reduction.Jesse Barnes1-12/+14
Previously, drivers supporting vblank interrupt waits would run the interrupt all the time, or all the time that any 3d client was running, preventing the CPU from sleeping for long when the system was otherwise idle. Now, interrupts are disabled any time that no client is waiting on a vblank event. The new method uses vblank counters on the chipsets when the interrupts are turned off, rather than counting interrupts, so that we can continue to present accurate vblank numbers.

2008-07-14drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.Dave Airlie1-0/+100
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff, the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and starting to be unmanageable. This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components. It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
