This is yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of bringing RC6 to Sandy Bridge machines by default. Now that we have discovered that RC6 issues are triggered by RC6+ state, let's try to disable it by default. Plain RC6 is the one responsible for most energy savings, and so far it haven't given any problems - at least, none we are aware of. So with this, when i915_enable_rc6=-1 (e.g., the default value), we'll attempt to enable plain RC6 only on SNB. For Ivy Bridge, the behavior stays the same as always - we enable both RC6 and deep RC6. Note that while this exact patch does not has explicit tested-by's, the equivalent settings were fixed in 3.3 kernel by a smaller patch. And it has also received considerable testing through Canonical RC6 task-force testing at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagementRC6. Up to date, it looks like all the known issues are gone. v2: improve description and reference a couple of open bugs related to RC6 which seem to be fixed with this change.

************************************************************ * For the very latest on DRI development, please see: * * http://dri.freedesktop.org/ * ************************************************************ The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major ways: 1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via the use of an optimized two-tiered lock. 2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to restricted regions of memory. 3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context switch. 4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module. Documentation on the DRI is available from: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387 http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/ For specific information about kernel-level support, see: The Direct Rendering Manager, Kernel Support for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/drm_low_level.html Hardware Locking for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/hardware_locking_low_level.html A Security Analysis of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/security_low_level.html
