Chris Wilson bcf9dcc1e6 drm/i915: Workaround hang with BSD and forcewake on SandyBridge
For reasons that are not apparent to anybody, 990bbdadab (drm/i915:
Group the GT routines together in both code and vtable) breaks the use
of the BitStream Decoder ring on SandyBridge. The active ingredient of
that patch is the conversion from a udelay(10) to a udelay(1) in the
busy-wait loop of waiting for the forcewake acknowledge. If we restore
that udelay(10) or insert another udelay(1) afterwards (or any wait
longer than 250ns) everything works again. An alternative is also to
remove any delay from the busy-wait loop.

Given that in the atomic sections we want to complete the wait as quick
as possible to avoid blocking the CPU for too long, it makes sense to
remove the delay altogether and simply spin on the exit condition until
it completes. So we replace the udelay(1) with cpu_relax().

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:
