Eric noted a potential concern with the low bits not being strictly used
as part of the absolute offset (instead part of the command stream to the
GPU), but in practice that should not be an issue.

Due to the necessity of having to take the struct_mutex, the i915
shrinker can not free the inactive lists if we fail to allocate memory
whilst processing a batch buffer, triggering an OOM and an ENOMEM that
is reported back to userspace. In order to fare better under such
circumstances we need to manually retry a failed allocation after
evicting inactive buffers.
To do so involves 3 steps:
1. Marking the backing shm pages as NORETRY.
2. Updating the get_pages() callers to evict something on failure and then
retry.
3. Revamping the evict something logic to be smarter about the required
buffer size and prefer to use volatile or clean inactive pages.

Similar to the madvise() concept, the application may wish to mark some
data as volatile. That is in the event of memory pressure the kernel is
free to discard such buffers safe in the knowledge that the application
can recreate them on demand, and is simply using these as a cache.

There is a very real possibility that multiple CPUs will notice that the
GPU is wedged. This introduces all sorts of potential race conditions.
Make the wedged flag atomic to mitigate this risk.

We set a periodic timer to check on the GPU, resetting it every time a
batch is completed. If the timer elapses, we check acthd. If acthd
hasn't changed in two timer periods, we assume the chip is wedged.
This is implemented in such a way that it leaves the option open to
employ adaptive timer intervals in the future. One could wait until
several timer periods have elapsed before declaring the chip dead. If
the chip comes back after several periods but before the "dead"
threshold, the timer interval or dead threshold could be raised.
It is important to note that while checking for active requests, we need
to account for the fact that requests are removed from the list (i.e.
retired) in a deferred work queue handler. This means that merely
checking for an empty request_list is insufficient; the list could be
non-empty yet the GPU still idle, causing the hangcheck timer to
incorrectly mark the GPU as wedged (it took me a while to figure that
out---sigh...)

i915_wait_request() only checks mm.wedged after it interacts with the
hardware, generally causing the driver to lock up waiting for a wedged
chip. Make sure we check mm.wedged as the first thing we do.

drm_ht_remove_item() does not handle removing an absent item and the hlist
in particular is incorrectly initialised. The easy remedy is simply skip
calling i915_gem_free_mmap_offset() unless we have actually created the
offset and associated ht entry.
This also fixes the mishandling of a partially constructed offset which
leaves pointers initialized after freeing them along the
i915_gem_create_mmap_offset() error paths.
In particular this should fix the oops found here:

Ever since we enabled GEM, the pre-9xx chipsets (particularly 865) have had
serious stability issues. Back in May a wbinvd was added to the DRM to
work around much of the problem. Some failure remained -- easily visible
by dragging a window around on an X -retro desktop, or by looking at bugzilla.
The chipset flush was on the right track -- hitting the right amount of
memory, and it appears to be the only way to flush on these chipsets, but the
flush page was mapped uncached. As a result, the writes trying to clear the
writeback cache ended up bypassing the cache, and not flushing anything! The
wbinvd would flush out other writeback data and often cause the data we wanted
to get flushed, but not always. By removing the setting of the page to UC
and instead just clflushing the data we write to try to flush it, we get the
desired behavior with no wbinvd.
This exports clflush_cache_range(), which was laying around and happened to
basically match the code I was otherwise going to copy from the DRM.

Otherwise, some other userland writing into its buffer may race to land
writes either after the CPU thinks it's got a coherent view, or after its
GTT entries have been redirected to point at the scratch page. Either
result is unpleasant.

According to the docs, the ringbuffer is not allowed to wrap in the middle
of an instruction.
G45 PRM, Vol 1b, p101:
While the “free space” wrap may allow commands to be wrapped around the
end of the Ring Buffer, the wrap should only occur between commands.
Padding (with NOP) may be required to follow this restriction.
Do as commanded.
[Having seen bug reports where there is evidence of split commands, but
apparently the GPU has continued on merrily before a bizarre and untimely
death, this may or may not fix a few random hangs.]

There are several sources of unnecessary power consumption on Intel
graphics systems. The first is the LVDS clock. TFTs don't suffer from
persistence issues like CRTs, and so we can reduce the LVDS refresh rate
when the screen is idle. It will be automatically upclocked when
userspace triggers graphical activity. Beyond that, we can enable memory
self refresh. This allows the memory to go into a lower power state when
the graphics are idle. Finally, we can drop some clocks on the gpu
itself. All of these things can be reenabled between frames when GPU
activity is triggered, and so there should be no user visible graphical
changes.
