A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

To implement preempt-to-busy (and so efficient timeslicing and best utilization of the hardware submission ports) we let the GPU run asynchronously in respect to the ELSP submission queue. This created challenges in keeping and accessing the driver state mirroring the asynchronous GPU execution. The latest occurence of this was spotted by KCSAN: [ 1413.563200] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __await_execution+0x217/0x370 [i915] [ 1413.563221] [ 1413.563236] race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff88885bb6c478 of 8 bytes by task 9654 on cpu 1: [ 1413.563548] __await_execution+0x217/0x370 [i915] [ 1413.563891] i915_request_await_dma_fence+0x4eb/0x6a0 [i915] [ 1413.564235] i915_request_await_object+0x421/0x490 [i915] [ 1413.564577] i915_gem_do_execbuffer+0x29b7/0x3c40 [i915] [ 1413.564967] i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl+0x22f/0x5c0 [i915] [ 1413.564998] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x156/0x1b0 [ 1413.565022] drm_ioctl+0x2ff/0x480 [ 1413.565046] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x87/0xd0 [ 1413.565069] do_syscall_64+0x4d/0x80 [ 1413.565094] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 To complicate matters, we have to both avoid the read tearing of *active and avoid any write tearing as perform the pending[] -> inflight[] promotion of the execlists. This is because we cannot rely on the memcpy doing u64 aligned copies on all kernels/platforms and so we opt to open-code it with explicit WRITE_ONCE annotations to satisfy KCSAN. v2: When in doubt, write the same comment again. v3: Expanded commit message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
