Jon Bloomfield d86b18a06c drm/i915: Serialize GTT/Aperture accesses on BXT
BXT has a H/W issue with IOMMU which can lead to system hangs when
Aperture accesses are queued within the GAM behind GTT Accesses.

This patch avoids the condition by wrapping all GTT updates in stop_machine
and using a flushing read prior to restarting the machine.

The stop_machine guarantees no new Aperture accesses can begin while
the PTE writes are being emmitted. The flushing read ensures that
any following Aperture accesses cannot begin until the PTE writes
have been cleared out of the GAM's fifo.

Only FOLLOWING Aperture accesses need to be separated from in flight
PTE updates. PTE Writes may follow tightly behind already in flight
Aperture accesses, so no flushing read is required at the start of
a PTE update sequence.

This issue was reproduced by running
	igt/gem_readwrite and
	igt/gem_render_copy
simultaneously from different processes, each in a tight loop,
with INTEL_IOMMU enabled.

This patch was originally published as:
	drm/i915: Serialize GTT Updates on BXT

[Note: This will cause a performance penalty for some use cases, but
avoiding hangs trumps performance hits. This may need to be worked
around in Mesa to recover the lost performance.]

v2: Move bxt/iommu detection into static function
    Remove #ifdef CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU protection
    Make function names more reflective of purpose
    Move flushing read into static function

v3: Tidy up for checkpatch.pl

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
