drm/i915: Implement command buffer parsing logic
The command parser scans batch buffers submitted via execbuffer ioctls before the driver submits them to hardware. At a high level, it looks for several things: 1) Commands which are explicitly defined as privileged or which should only be used by the kernel driver. The parser generally rejects such commands, with the provision that it may allow some from the drm master process. 2) Commands which access registers. To support correct/enhanced userspace functionality, particularly certain OpenGL extensions, the parser provides a whitelist of registers which userspace may safely access (for both normal and drm master processes). 3) Commands which access privileged memory (i.e. GGTT, HWS page, etc). The parser always rejects such commands. See the overview comment in the source for more details. This patch only implements the logic. Subsequent patches will build the tables that drive the parser. v2: Don't set the secure bit if the parser succeeds Fail harder during init Makefile cleanup Kerneldoc cleanup Clarify module param description Convert ints to bools in a few places Move client/subclient defs to i915_reg.h Remove the bits_count field OTC-Tracker: AXIA-4631 Change-Id: I50b98c71c6655893291c78a2d1b8954577b37a30 Signed-off-by: Brad Volkin <bradley.d.volkin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> [danvet: Appease checkpatch.] Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
