2005-06-14Adds support for PCI cards to MGA DRMIan Romanick
This patch adds serveral new ioctls and a new query to get_param query to support PCI MGA cards. Two ioctls were added to implement interrupt based waiting. With this change, the client-side driver no longer needs to map the primary DMA region or the MMIO region. Previously, end-of-frame waiting was done by busy waiting in the client-side driver until one of the MMIO registers (the current DMA pointer) matched a pointer to the end of primary DMA space. By using interrupts, the busy waiting and the extra mappings are removed. A third ioctl was added to bootstrap DMA. This ioctl, which is used by the X-server, moves a *LOT* of code from the X-server into the kernel. This allows the kernel to do whatever needs to be done to setup DMA buffers. The entire process and the locations of the buffers are hidden from user-mode. Additionally, a get_param query was added to differentiate between G4x0 cards and G550 cards. A gap was left in the numbering sequence so that, if needed, G450 cards could be distinguished from G400 cards. According to Ville Syrjälä, the G4x0 cards and the G550 cards handle anisotropic filtering differently. This seems the most compatible way to let the client-side driver know which card it's own. Doing this very small change now eliminates the need to bump the DRM minor version twice. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=dri-devel&m=106625815319773&w=2 A number of ioctl handlers in linux-core were also modified so that they could be called in-kernel. In these cases, the in-kernel callable version kept the existing name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire) and the ioctl handler added _ioctl to the name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire_ioctl). This patch also replaces the drm_agp_do_release function with drm_agp_release. drm_agp_release (drm_core_agp_release in the previous patch) is very similar to drm_agp_do_release, and I saw no reason to have both. This commit *breaks the build* on BSD. Eric said that he would make the required updates to the BSD side soon. Xorg bug: 3259 Reviewed by: Eric Anholt
