[re-pull request]
Original pull req below + reverts the fallback placement change which had
a side effect of causing more lockups on some AGP systems (this is a bug in
the AGP drivers that needs to be tracked down), adds some further fixes
from Alex for radeon. Also in case you are wondering why this has a
v2.6.34-rc2 merge in the middle of it, one of the radeon changes needed an
i2c change before I could test it.
original pull text:
Some nouveau updates + misc drm core fixes,
radeon kms: mostly fixes, however a cleanup to the ugly asic tables to
avoid drift between C prototypes moves some stuff around, and I've merged
Jerome's GPU recovery code, as I'd much rather users had some of hope of
recovering from their GPU locking up than a dead box. It seems to work
for quite a lot of people that have tested it, and it won't make a GPU
lockup problem worse. This also finally fixes HDMI audio on rv7xx cards.

drm/radeon/kms/r1xx: enable hw i2c
drm/radeon/kms/rs4xx: make sure crtcs are enabled when setting timing
drm/radeon/r600: add missing license and comments to r600_blit_shaders.c
drm/radeon/kms: expose thermal/fan i2c buses
drm/radeon/kms/pm: fix segfault in clock code
drm/radeon/kms: gfx init fixes for r6xx/r7xx
drm/radeon/kms/pm: fix typo in power table parsing
drm/radeon/kms: init rdev->num_crtc at ...While I was able to work around the lockups by making the AGP driver never unbind a GTT entry, I think it's rather a radeon issue - how is the AGP driver supposed to know when it's safe to unbind an entry? Unfortunately, that's not true in all cases. The change itself mentions that the new reset code is unreliable for R3xx generation GPUs, and indeed with my RV350 it now turns my box into a brick immediately on a GPU lockup most of the time whereas previously it was usually able to recover at least in some cases, e.g. falling back to PCI mode after trying to use a non-working AGP transfer mode. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer --
This issue has been a problem with AGP before, the Intel AGP docs claim you should always use scratch pages on AGP, and never complete remove bound entries. I've no idea why this is, as you'd expect AGP cards to only generate cycles to entries they've been asked to. There may be some memory controller prefetching going on that could lead to prefetching into an unbound AGP page and the resulting machine check that may cause I suppose. We need to track this separately anyways and fix it for 2.6.35 hopefully, at Okay so it makes it worse, hopefully Jerome can track it down, or else we can lock down the gpu reset to only trying on the r600s where it definitely makes life a lot better for everyone. Dave. --
Actually Linus, don't bother, consider this revoked, I'm going to kill the GPU reset code and re-send this tomorrow, its just a mess to get it back out of the tree at this point, but I realised I was falling back to the old ways, of putting things with badness in, even if they helped a few people. Jerome, GPU reset will have to wait until 2.6.35 now. --
I will try to see if i can do a smaller version which only affect r6xx/r7xx hw were it's know to be helpfull while leaving other hw unaffected and working on a more reliable code for 2.6.35 for these older hw. Cheers. Jerome --
Ping? Are you waiting for Jerome or something? Please do not stop pulling whole stuff because Jerome is preparing some patch for last moment. I believe I'll be much better to pull most stuff ASAP to let ppl test it, and later eventually ask Linus to get some one-two additional small patches. -- Rafał --
Rebasing out Jerome's patches and reverifying stuff works isn't something that takes 5 minutes. Since the rebase pretty much negates all the testing I'd done. Dave. --
Oh, OK. Thanks for your work on getting 2.6.34 into nice shape :) -- Rafał --
