f1c37e1adc drm/plane: Pass old state to ->atomic_update()
In most situations it will be useful to have the old state passed to the
->atomic_update() callback. For example if a plane is being disabled the
new state's .crtc field will be NULL, but some drivers may rely on this
field to program the CRTCs registers.

v2: rename variable to old_plane_state and remove redundant comment as
suggested by Daniel Vetter, remove an Exynos hunk that doesn't apply to
drm-next and add a hunk for pending MSM mdp5 changes

aa54e2ee80 drm/atomic_helper: Cope with plane->crtc == NULL in disable helper
The drm core can call the plane disable hook multiple times, which
means it can get called when plane->crtc is already NULL. That in turn
means we can't get at the implicit acquire ctx we use in the atomic
helpers for legacy entries points.

We could try to pass drm_modeset_legacy_acquire_ctx a drm_device
pointer so that it can cope with a NULL crtc. But that still doesn't
work since the cursor ioctls (remapped with the universal cursor plane
support code) only grabs the crtc locks. So the global acquire context
isn't set eitehr.

The real solution here would be to bite the bullet and wire up
explicit acquire context parameters to all relevant functions. We need
to do that anyway (to be able to get rid of some small allocations
which we can't cope with failing). But that's a lot of work and better
done once atomic has settled a bit.

So meanwhile just catch this case in the helper and bail out.

ab58e3384b drm/atomic-helper: Skip vblank waits for unchanged fbs
Especially with legacy cursor ioctls existing userspace assumes that
you can pile up lots of updates in one go. The super-proper way to
support this would be a special commit mode which overwrites the last
update. But getting there will be quite a bit of work.

Meanwhile do what pretty much all the drivers have done for the plane
update functions: Simply skip the vblank wait for the buffer cleanup
if the buffer is the same. Since the universal cursor plane code will
not recreate framebuffers needlessly this allows us to not slow down
legacy pageflip events while someone moves the cursor around.

v2: Drop the async plane update hunk from a previous attempt at this
issue.

v3: Fix up kerneldoc.

v4: Don't oops so badly. Reported by Jasper.

46df9adb2e drm/atomic: shutdown *current* encoder
In disable_outputs() we need to shut down the outgoing encoder, not the
incoming one (we have already swapped-state at this point).  Without
this, we end up telling the driver to crtc->dpms(OFF) without first
encoder->dpms(OFF), and that makes some hw quite unhappy.

f52b69f1ec drm/atomic: Don't overrun the connector array when hotplugging
Yet another fallout from not considering DP MST hotplug. With the
previous patches we have stable indices, but it might still happen
that a connector gets added between when we allocate the array and
when we actually add a connector. Especially when we back off due to
ww mutex contention or similar issues.

So store the sizes of the arrays in struct drm_atomic_state and double
check them. We don't really care about races except that we want to
use a consistent value, so ACCESS_ONCE is all we need. And if we
indeed notice that we'd overrun the array then just give up and
restart the entire ioctl.

4d02e2de0e drm: Per-plane locking

	    drm: Drop modeset locking from crtc init function

  Without these the drm_modeset_lock_init would fall over the exact
  same way.

- Since the atomic core code wraps the locking switching it to
  per-plane locks was a one-line change.

- For the legacy ioctls add a plane argument to the locking helper so
  that we can grab the right plane lock (cursor or primary). Since the
  universal cursor plane might not be there, or someone really crazy
  might forgoe the primary plane even accept NULL.

- Add some locking WARN_ON to the atomic helpers for good paranoid
  measure and to check that it all works out.

backoff injection.

321ebf04dc drm/atomic: Refcounting for plane_state->fb
So my original plan was that the drm core refcounts framebuffers like
with the legacy ioctls. But that doesn't work for a bunch of reasons:

- State objects might live longer than until the next fb change
  happens for a plane. For example delayed cleanup work only happens
  _after_ the pageflip ioctl has completed. So this definitely doesn't
  work without the plane state holding its own references.

- The other issue is transition from legacy to atomic implementations,
  where the driver works under a mix of both worlds. Which means
  legacy paths might not properly update the ->fb pointer under
  plane->state->fb. Which is a bit a problem when then someone comes
  around and _does_ try to clean it up when it's long gone.

The second issue is just a bit a transition bug, since drivers should
update plane->state->fb in all the paths that aren't converted yet.
But a bit more robustness for the transition can't hurt - we pull
similar tricks with cleaning up the old fb in the transitional helpers
already.

The pattern for drivers that transition is

	if (plane->state)
		drm_atomic_set_fb_for_plane(plane->state, plane->fb);

inserted after the fb update has logically completed at the end of
->set_config (or ->set_base/mode_set if using the crtc helpers),
->page_flip, ->update_plane or any other entry point which updates
plane->fb.

d461701c55 drm/atomic-helpers: functions for state duplicate/destroy/reset
The atomic users and helpers assume that there is always a obj->state
structure around. Which means drivers need to somehow create that at
driver load time. Also it should obviously reset hardware state, so
needs to be reset upon resume.

Finally the destroy/duplicate_state functions are an awful lot of
boilerplate if the driver doesn't need anything beyond the default
state objects.

So add helper functions for all of this.

v2: Somehow the plane/connector versions got lost in the first
version.

v3: Add kerneldoc.

v4: Make duplicate_state functions a bit more robust, which is useful
for debugging state tracking issues when transitioning to atomic.

v5: Clear temporary variables in the crtc state when duplicating it,
like ->mode_changed or ->planes_changed. If we don't do this stale
values for these might pollute the next atomic modeset.

v6: Also clear crtc_state->event in case the driver didn't (yet) clear
this out.

v7: Split out wrong squashed commit. Also improve the kerneldoc to
mention that obj->state can be NULL and when.  Both suggested by
Daniel Thompson.

8bc0f3126c drm/atomic-helper: implement ->page_flip
Currently there is no way to implement async flips using atomic, that
essentially requires us to be able to cancel pending requests
mid-flight.

To be able to do that (and I guess we want this since vblank synced
updates which opportunistically cancel still pending updates seem to be
wanted) we'd need to add a mandatory cancellation mode. Depending upon
the exact semantics we decide upon that could mean that userspace will
not get completion events, or will get them all stacked up.

So reject async updates for now. Also async updates usually means not
vblank synced at all, and I guess for drivers which want to support
this they should simply add a special pageflip handler (since usually
you need a special flip cmd to achieve this). That kind of async flip
is pretty much exclusively just used for games and benchmarks where
dropping just one frame means you'll get a headshot or something bad
like that ... And so slight amounts of tearing is acceptable.

v2: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo.

v3: Use the set_crtc_for_plane function to assign the crtc, since
otherwise the book-keeping is off.

v4: Update crtc->primary->fb since ->page_flip is the only driver
callback where the core won't do this itself. We might want to fix
this inconsistency eventually.

v5: Use set_crtc_for_connector as suggested by Sean.

v6: Daniel Thompson noticed that my error handling is inconsistent
and that in a few cases I didn't handle fatal errors (i.e. not
-EDEADLK). Fix this by consolidate the ww mutex backoff handling
into one check in the fail: block and flatten the error control
flow everywhere else.

v7: Fix spelling mistake in the commit message (Sean).

e2330f0719 drm/atomic: Integrate fence support
This patch is for enabling async commits. It replaces an earlier
approach which added an async boolean paramter to the ->prepare_fb
callbacks. The idea is that prepare_fb picks up the right fence to
synchronize against, which is then used by the synchronous commit
helper. For async commits drivers can either register a callback to
the fence or simply do the synchronous wait in their async work queue.

v2: Remove unused variable.

v3: Only wait for fences after the point of no return in the part
of the commit function which can be run asynchronously. This is after
the atomic state has been swapped in, hence now check
plane->state->fence.

Also add a WARN_ON to make sure we don't try to wait on a fence when
there's no fb, just as a sanity check.

042652ed95 drm/atomic-helper: implementatations for legacy interfaces
Well, except page_flip since that requires async commit, which isn't
there yet.

For the functions which changes planes there's a bit of trickery
involved to keep the fb refcounting working. But otherwise fairly
straight-forward atomic updates.

The property setting functions are still a bit incomplete. Once we
have generic properties (e.g. rotation, but also all the properties
needed by the atomic ioctl) we need to filter those out and parse them
in the helper. Preferrably with the same function as used by the real
atomic ioctl implementation.

v2: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo.

v3: Add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL.

v4: We need to look at the crtc of the modeset, not some random
leftover one from a previous loop when udpating the connector->crtc
routing. Also push some local variables into inner loops to avoid
these kinds of bugs.

v5: Adjust semantics - drivers now own the atomic state upon
successfully synchronous commit.

v6: Use the set_crtc_for_plane function to assign the crtc, since
otherwise the book-keeping is off.

v7:
- Improve comments.
- Filter out the crtc of the ->set_config call when recomputing
  crtc_state->enabled: We should compute the same state, but not doing
  so will give us a good chance to catch bugs and inconsistencies -
  the atomic helper's atomic_check function re-validates this again.
- Fix the set_config implementation logic when disabling the crtc: We
  still need to update the output routing to disable all the
  connectors properly in the state. Caught by the atomic_check
  functions, so at least that part worked ;-) Also add some WARN_ONs
  to ensure ->set_config preconditions all apply.

v8: Fixup an embarrassing h/vdisplay mixup.

v9: Shuffled bad squash to the right patch, spotted by Daniel

v10: Use set_crtc_for_connector as suggested by Sean.

v11: Daniel Thompson noticed that my error handling is inconsistent
and that in a few cases I didn't handle fatal errors (i.e. not
-EDEADLK). Fix this by consolidate the ww mutex backoff handling
into one check in the fail: block and flatten the error control

v12: Review and discussion with Sean:
- One spelling fix.
- Correctly skip the crtc from the set_config set when recomputing
  ->enable state. That should allow us to catch any bugs in higher
  levels in computing that state (which is supplied to the
  ->set_config implementation). I've screwed this up and Sean spotted
  that the current code is pointless.

623369e533 drm: Atomic crtc/connector updates using crtc/plane helper interfaces
So this is finally the integration of the crtc and plane helper
interfaces into the atomic helper functions.

In the check function we now have a few steps:

- First we update the output routing and figure out which crtcs need a
  full mode set. Suitable encoders are selected using ->best_encoder,
  with the same semantics as the crtc helpers of implicitly disabling
  all connectors currently using the encoder.

- Then we pull all other connectors into the state update which feed
  from a crtc which changes. This must be done do catch mode changes
  and similar updates - atomic updates are differences on top of the
  current state.

- Then we call all the various ->mode_fixup to compute the adjusted
  mode. Note that here we have a slight semantic difference compared
  to the crtc helpers: We have not yet updated the encoder->crtc link
  when calling the encoder's ->mode_fixup function. But that's a
  requirement when converting to atomic since we want to prepare the
  entire state completely contained with the over drm_atomic_state
  structure. So this must be carefully checked when converting drivers
  over to atomic helpers.

- Finally we do call the atomic_check functions on planes and crtcs.

The commit function is also quite a beast:

- The only step that can fail is done first, namely pinning the
  framebuffers. After that we cross the point of no return, an async
  commit would push all that into the worker thread.

- The disabling of encoders and connectors is a bit tricky, since
  depending upon the final state we need to select different crtc
  helper functions.

- Software tracking is a bit clarified compared to the crtc helpers:
  We commit the software state before starting to touch the hardware,
  like crtc helpers. But since we just swap them we still have the old
  state (i.e. the current hw state) around, which is really handy to
  write simple disable functions. So no more
  drm_crtc_helper_disable_all_unused_functions kind of fun because
  we're leaving unused crtcs/encoders behind. Everything gets shut
  down in-order now, which is one of the key differences of the i915
  helpers compared to crtc helpers and a really nice additional
  guarantee.

- Like with the plane helpers the atomic commit function waits for one
  vblank to pass before calling the framebuffer cleanup function.

Compared to Rob's helper approach there's a bunch of upsides:

- All the interfaces which can fail are called in the ->check hook
  (i.e. ->best_match and the various ->mode_fixup hooks). This means
  that drivers can just reuse those functions and don't need to move
  everything into ->atomic_check callbacks. If drivers have no need
  for additional constraint checking beyong their existing crtc
  helper callbacks they don't need to do anything.

- The actual commit operation is properly stage: First we prepare
  framebuffers, which can potentially still fail (due to memory
  exhausting). This is important for the async case, where this must
  be done synchronously to correctly return errors.

- The output configuration changes (done with crtc helper functions)
  and the plane update (using atomic plane helpers) are correctly
  interleaved: First we shut down any crtcs that need changing, then
  we update planes and finally we enable everything again. Hardware
  without GO bits must be more careful with ordering, which this
  sequence enables.

- Also for hardware with shared output resources (like display PLLs)
  we first must shut down the old configuration before we can enable
  the new one. Otherwise we can hit an impossible intermediate state
  where there's not enough PLLs (which is the point behind atomic
  updates).

v2:
- Ensure that users of ->check update crtc_state->enable correctly.
- Update the legacy state in crtc/plane structures. Eventually we want
  to remove that, but for now the drm core still expects this (especially
  the plane->fb pointer).

v3: A few changes for better async handling:

- Reorder the software side state commit so that it happens all before
  we touch the hardware. This way async support becomes very easy
  since we can punt all the actual hw touching to a worker thread. And
  as long as we synchronize with that thread (flushing or cancelling,
  depending upon what the driver can handle) before we commit the next
  software state there's no need for any locking in the worker thread
  at all. Which greatly simplifies things.

  And as long as we synchronize with all relevant threads we can have
  a lot of them (e.g. per-crtc for per-crtc updates) running in
  parallel.

- Expose pre/post plane commit steps separately. We need to expose the
  actual hw commit step anyway for drivers to be able to implement
  asynchronous commit workers. But if we expose pre/post and plane
  commit steps individually we allow drivers to selectively use atomic
  helpers.

- I've forgotten to call encoder/bridge ->mode_set functions, fix
  this.

v4: Add debug output and fix a mixup between current and new state
that resulted in crtcs not getting updated correctly. And in an
Oops ...

v5:
- Be kind to driver writers in the vblank wait functions.. if thing
  aren't working yet, and vblank irq will never come, then let's not
  block forever.. especially under console-lock.
- Correctly clear connector_state->best_encoder when disabling.
  Spotted while trying to understand a report from Rob Clark.
- Only steal encoder if it actually changed, otherwise hilarity ensues
  if we steal from the current connector and so set the ->crtc pointer
  unexpectedly to NULL. Reported by Rob Clark.
- Bail out in disable_outputs if an output currently doesn't have a
  best_encoder - this means it's already disabled.

v6: Fixupe kerneldoc as reported by Paulo. And also fix up kerneldoc
in drm_crtc.h.

v7: Take ownership of the atomic state and clean it up with
drm_atomic_state_free().

v8 Various improvements all over:
- Polish code comments and kerneldoc.
- Improve debug output to make sure all failure cases are logged.
- Treat enabled crtc with no connectors as invalid input from userspace.
- Don't ignore the return value from mode_fixup().

v9:
- Improve debug output for crtc_state->mode_changed.

v10:
- Fixup the vblank waiting code to properly balance the vblank_get/put
  calls.
- Better comments when checking/computing crtc->mode_changed

v11: Fixup the encoder stealing logic: We can't look at encoder->crtc
since that's not in the atomic state structures and might be updated
asynchronously in and async commit. Instead we need to inspect all the
connector states and check whether the encoder is currently in used
and if so, on which crtc.

v12: Review from Sean:
- A few spelling fixes.
- Flatten control flow indent by converting if blocks to early
  continue/return in 2 places.
- Capture connectors_for_crtc return value in int num_connectors
  instead of bool has_connectors and do an explicit int->bool
  conversion with !!. I think the helper is more useful for drivers if
  it returns the number of connectors (e.g. to detect cloning
  configurations), so decided to keep that return value.

c2fcd274bc drm: Add atomic/plane helpers
This is the first cut of atomic helper code. As-is it's only useful to
implement a pure atomic interface for plane updates.

Later patches will integrate this with the crtc helpers so that full
atomic updates are possible. We also need a pile of helpers to aid
drivers in transitioning from the legacy world to the shiny new atomic
age. Finally we need helpers to implement legacy ioctls on top of the
atomic interface.

The design of the overall helpers<->driver interaction is fairly
simple, but has an unfortunate large interface:

- We have ->atomic_check callbacks for crtcs and planes. The idea is
  that connectors don't need any checking, and if they do they can
  adjust the relevant crtc driver-private state. So no connector hooks
  should be needed. Also the crtc helpers integration will do the
  ->best_encoder checks, so no need for that.

- Framebuffer pinning needs to be done before we can commit to the hw
  state. This is especially important for async updates where we must
  pin all buffers before returning to userspace, so that really only
  hw failures can happen in the asynchronous worker.

  Hence we add ->prepare_fb and ->cleanup_fb hooks for this resources
  management.

- The actual atomic plane commit can't fail (except hw woes), so has
  void return type. It has three stages:
  1. Prepare all affected crtcs with crtc->atomic_begin. Drivers can
     use this to unset the GO bit or similar latches to prevent plane
     updates.
  2. Update plane state by looping over all changed planes and calling
     plane->atomic_update. Presuming the hardware is sane and has GO
     bits drivers can simply bash the state into the hardware in this
     function. Other drivers might use this to precompute hw state for
     the final step.
  3. Finally latch the update for the next vblank with
     crtc->atomic_flush. Note that this function doesn't need to wait
     for the vblank to happen even for the synchronous case.

v2: Clear drm_<obj>_state->state to NULL when swapping in state.

v3: Add TODO that we don't short-circuit plane updates for now. Likely
no one will care.

v4: Squash in a bit of polish that somehow landed in the wrong (later)
patche.

v5: Integrate atomic functions into the drm docbook and fixup the
kerneldoc.

v6: Fixup fixup patch squashing fumble.

v7: Don't touch the legacy plane state plane->fb and plane->crtc. This
is only used by the legacy ioctl code in the drm core, and that code
already takes care of updating the pointers in all relevant cases.
This is in stark contrast to connector->encoder->crtc links on the
modeset side, which we still need to set since the core doesn't touch
them.

Also some more kerneldoc polish.

v8: Drop outdated comment.

v9: Handle the state->state pointer correctly: Only clearing the
->state pointer when assigning the state to the kms object isn't good
enough. We also need to re-link the swapped out state into the
drm_atomic_state structure.

v10: Shuffle the misplaced docbook template hunk around that Sean spotted.
