This reverts commit 7c510133d93dd6f15ca040733ba7b2891ed61fd1.

Well looks like not enough digging was done, libdrm_nouveau before 2.4.33

drm: implement experimental render nodes

2013-08-29T22:43:57+00:00

Render nodes provide an API for userspace to use non-privileged GPU
commands without any running DRM-Master. It is useful for offscreen
rendering, GPGPU clients, and normal render clients which do not perform
modesetting.

Compared to legacy clients, render clients no longer need any
authentication to perform client ioctls. Instead, user-space controls
render/client access to GPUs via filesystem access-modes on the
render-node. Once a render-node was opened, a client has full access to
the client/render operations on the GPU. However, no modesetting or ioctls
that affect global state are allowed on render nodes.

To prevent privilege-escalation, drivers must explicitly state that they
support render nodes. They must mark their render-only ioctls as
DRM_RENDER_ALLOW so render clients can use them. Furthermore, they must
support clients without any attached master.

If filesystem access-modes are not enough for fine-grained access control
to render nodes (very unlikely, considering the versaitlity of FS-ACLs),
you may still fall-back to fd-passing from server to client (which allows
arbitrary access-control). However, note that revoking access is
currently impossible and unlikely to get implemented.

Note: Render clients no longer have any associated DRM-Master as they are
supposed to be independent of any server state. DRM core highly depends on
file_priv->master to be non-NULL for modesetting/ctx/etc. commands.
Therefore, drivers must be very careful to not require DRM-Master if they
support DRIVER_RENDER.

So far render-nodes are protected by "drm_rnodes". As long as this
module-parameter is not set to 1, a driver will not create render nodes.
This allows us to experiment with the API a bit before we stabilize it.

drm/prime: proper locking+refcounting for obj->dma_buf link

2013-08-21T02:58:17+00:00

The export dma-buf cache is semantically similar to an flink name. So
semantically it makes sense to treat it the same and remove the name
(i.e. the dma_buf pointer) and its references when the last gem handle
disappears.

Again we need to be careful, but double so: Not just could someone
race and export with a gem close ioctl (so we need to recheck
obj->handle_count again when assigning the new name), but multiple
exports can also race against each another. This is prevented by
holding the dev->object_name_lock across the entire section which
touches obj->dma_buf.

With the new scheme we also need to reinstate the obj->dma_buf link at
import time (in case the only reference userspace has held in-between
was through the dma-buf fd and not through any native gem handle). For
simplicity we don't check whether it's a native object but
unconditionally set up that link - with the new scheme of removing the
obj->dma_buf reference when the last handle disappears we can do that.

To make it clear that this is not just for exported buffers anymore
als rename it from export_dma_buf to dma_buf.

To make sure that now one can race a fd_to_handle or handle_to_fd with
gem_close we use the same tricks as in flink of extending the
dev->object_name_locking critical section. With this change we finally
have a guaranteed 1:1 relationship (at least for native objects)
between gem objects and dma-bufs, even accounting for races (which can
happen since the dma-buf itself holds a reference while in-flight).

This prevent igt/prime_self_import/export-vs-gem_close-race from
Oopsing the kernel. There is still a leak though since the per-file
priv dma-buf/handle cache handling is racy. That will be fixed in a
later patch.

v2: Remove the bogus dma_buf_put from the export_and_register_object
failure path if we've raced with the handle count dropping to 0.

drm: move dev data clearing from drm_setup to lastclose

2013-08-19T04:29:41+00:00

We kzalloc this structure, and for real kms devices we should never
loose track of things really.

But ums/legacy drivers rely on the drm core to clean up a bit of cruft
between lastclose and firstopen (i.e. when X is being restarted), so
keep this around. But give it a clear drm_legacy_ prefix and
conditionalize the code on !DRIVER_MODESET.

drm: don't call ->firstopen for KMS drivers

2013-08-19T04:28:46+00:00

It has way too much potential for driver writers to do stupid things
like delayed hw setup because the load sequence is somehow racy (e.g.
the imx driver in staging). So don't call it for modesetting drivers,
which reduces the complexity of the drm core -> driver interface a
notch.

v2: Don't forget to update DocBook.

v3: Go with Laurent's slightly more elaborate proposal for the DocBook
update. Add a few words on top of his diff to elaborate a bit on what
KMS drivers should and shouldn't do in lastclose. There was already a
paragraph present talking about restoring properties, I've simply
extended that one.

drm: remove FASYNC support

2013-08-19T00:05:17+00:00

So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.

First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...

Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.

No merged drm driver has ever done that.

After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

commit 1430163b4bbf7b00367ea1066c1c5fe85dbeefed
Author: Dave Airlie 
Date:   Sun Aug 29 12:04:35 2004 +0000

    Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...

Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.

So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.

v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.

v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.

v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

drm: mark context support as a legacy subsystem

2013-08-19T00:04:48+00:00

So after a lot of digging around in git histories it looks like this
has only ever be used by dri1 render clients. Hence we can fully
disable the entire thing for modesetting drivers and so greatly reduce
the attack surface for potential exploits (or at least tools like
trinity ...).

Also add the drm_legacy prefix for functions which are called from
common code. To further reduce the impact on common code also extract
all the ctx release handling into a function (instead of only
releasing individual handles) and make ctxbitmap_cleanup return void -
it can never fail.
