<content type='text'>
To enable aspect-ratio support in DRM, blindly exposing the aspect
ratio information along with mode, can break things in existing
non-atomic user-spaces which have no intention or support to use this
aspect ratio information.

To avoid this, a new drm client cap is required to enable a non-atomic
user-space to advertise if it supports modes with aspect-ratio. Based
on this cap value, the kernel will take a call on exposing the aspect
ratio info in modes or not.

This patch adds the client cap for aspect-ratio.

Since no atomic-userspaces blow up on receiving aspect-ratio
information, the client cap for aspect-ratio is always enabled
for atomic clients.

When we debug print what ioctl we're calling into, we include the pid.
If you have multiple processes rendering simulataneously, the error
return also needs the pid so you can see which of the ioctl calls was
the one to fail.

<title>drm: Add four ioctls for managing drm mode object leases [v7]</title>

<id>62884cd386b876638720ef88374b31a84ca7ee5f</id>
<content type='text'>
drm_mode_create_lease

	Creates a lease for a list of drm mode objects, returning an
	fd for the new drm_master and a 64-bit identifier for the lessee

drm_mode_list_lesees

	List the identifiers of the lessees for a master file

drm_mode_get_lease

	List the leased objects for a master file

drm_mode_revoke_lease

	Erase the set of objects managed by a lease.

This should suffice to at least create and query leases.

Changes for v2 as suggested by Daniel Vetter &lt;daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch&gt;:

 * query ioctls only query the master associated with
   the provided file.

 * 'mask_lease' value has been removed

 * change ioctl has been removed.

Changes for v3 suggested in part by Dave Airlie &lt;airlied@gmail.com&gt;

 * Add revoke ioctl.

Changes for v4 suggested by Dave Airlie &lt;airlied@gmail.com&gt;

 * Expand on the comment about the magic use of &amp;drm_lease_idr_object
 * Pad lease ioctl structures to align on 64-bit boundaries

Changes for v5 suggested by Dave Airlie &lt;airlied@gmail.com&gt;

 * Check for non-negative object_id in create_lease to avoid debug
   output from the kernel.

Changes for v6 provided by Dave Airlie &lt;airlied@gmail.com&gt;

 * For non-universal planes add primary/cursor planes to lease

   If we aren't exposing universal planes to this userspace client,
   and it requests a lease on a crtc, we should implicitly export the
   primary and cursor planes for the crtc.

   If the lessee doesn't request universal planes, it will just see
   the crtc, but if it does request them it will then see the plane
   objects as well.

   This also moves the object look ups earlier as a side effect, so
   we'd exit the ioctl quicker for non-existant objects.

 * Restrict leases to crtc/connector/planes.

   This only allows leasing for objects we wish to allow.

Changes for v7 provided by Dave Airlie &lt;airlied@gmail.com&gt;

 * Check pad args are 0
 * Check create flags and object count are valid.
 * Check return from fd allocation
 * Refactor lease idr setup and add some simple validation
 * Use idr_mutex uniformly (Keith)

<title>drm: Add CRTC_GET_SEQUENCE and CRTC_QUEUE_SEQUENCE ioctls [v3]</title>

These provide crtc-id based functions instead of pipe-number, while
also offering higher resolution time (ns) and wider frame count (64)
as required by the Vulkan API.

v2:

 * Check for DRIVER_MODESET in new crtc-based vblank ioctls

	Failing to check this will oops the driver.

 * Ensure vblank interupt is running in crtc_get_sequence ioctl

	The sequence and timing values are not correct while the
	interrupt is off, so make sure it's running before asking for
	them.

 * Short-circuit get_sequence if the counter is enabled and accurate

	Steal the idea from the code in wait_vblank to avoid the
	expense of drm_vblank_get/put

 * Return active state of crtc in crtc_get_sequence ioctl

	Might be useful for applications that aren't in charge of
	modesetting?

 * Use drm_crtc_vblank_get/put in new crtc-based vblank sequence ioctls

	Daniel Vetter prefers these over the old drm_vblank_put/get
	APIs.

 * Return s64 ns instead of u64 in new sequence event

Suggested-by: Daniel Vetter &lt;daniel@ffwll.ch&gt;
Suggested-by: Ville Syrjälä &lt;ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com&gt;

v3:

 * Removed FIRST_PIXEL_OUT_FLAG
 * Document that the timestamp in the query and event are
   that of the first pixel leaving the display engine for
   the display (using the same wording as the Vulkan spec).

<id>25e1a79874eb3821d93310c908cc0a81b47af060</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a risk of overflowing vblank timestamps in 2038 or 2106 if
someone sets the drm_timestamp_monotonic module parameter to zero.

I found no indication of anyone ever setting the parameter, or
complaining about the default being wrong, after it was introduced
as a way to handle backwards-compatibility with linux prior to
c61eef726a78 ("drm: add support for monotonic vblank timestamps"),
so it's probably safer to just remove the parameter completely
and only allowing the default behavior.

There is a risk of overflowing vblank timestamps in 2038 or 2106 if
someone sets the drm_timestamp_monotonic module parameter to zero.

I found no indication of anyone ever setting the parameter, or
complaining about the default being wrong, after it was introduced
as a way to handle backwards-compatibility with linux prior to
c61eef726a78 ("drm: add support for monotonic vblank timestamps"),
so it's probably safer to just remove the parameter completely
and only allowing the default behavior.

This IOCTL provides a mechanism for userspace to trigger a sync object
directly.  There are other ways that userspace can trigger a syncobj
such as submitting a dummy batch somewhere or hanging on to a triggered
sync_file and doing an import.  This just provides an easy way to
manually trigger the sync object without weird hacks.

The motivation for this IOCTL is Vulkan fences.  Vulkan lets you create
a fence already in the signaled state so that you can wait on it
immediatly without stalling.  We could also handle this with a new
create flag to ask the driver to create a syncobj that is already
signaled but the IOCTL seemed a bit cleaner and more generic.

v2:
 - Take an array of sync objects (Dave Airlie)
v3:
 - Throw -EINVAL if pad != 0

This just resets the dma_fence to NULL so it looks like it's never been
signaled.  This will be useful once we add the new wait API for allowing
wait on "submit and signal" behavior.
