      drm/i915: Delay allocation of stolen space for FBC · 11be49eb
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      As FBC is commonly disabled due to limitations of the chipset upon
      output configurations, on many systems FBC is never enabled. For those
      systems, it is advantageous to make use of the stolen memory for other
      objects and so we defer allocation of the FBC chunk until we actually
      require it. This increases the likelihood of that allocation failing,
      but that in turns means that we are already taking advantage of the
      stolen memory!
      
      As well as delaying the allocation from driver initialisation until the
      first use of FBC, we also return the stolen block after we finish using
      it - allowing greater flexibility in our usage of stolen space. A side
      effect of this is that we can then attempt to allocate only the required
      amount of space (with a little slack to reduce reallocation rate and
      avoid fragmentation).

      drm/i915: Fix detection of base of stolen memory · e12a2d53
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      The routine to query the base of stolen memory was using the wrong
      registers and the wrong encodings on virtually every platform.
      
      It was not until the G33 refresh, that a PCI config register was
      introduced that explicitly said where the stolen memory was. Prior to
      865G there was not even a register that said where the end of usable
      low memory was and where the stolen memory began (or ended depending
      upon chipset). Before then, one has to look at the BIOS memory maps to
      find the Top of Memory. Alas that is not exported by arch/x86 and so we
      have to resort to disabling stolen memory on gen2 for the time being.
      
      Then SandyBridge enlarged the PCI register to a full 32-bits and change
      the encoding of the address, so even though we happened to be querying
      the right register, we read the wrong bits and ended up using address 0
      for our stolen data, i.e. notably FBC.
