drm/i915: use ORIGIN_CPU for frontbuffer invalidation on WC mmaps
... instead of the previous ORIGIN_GTT. This should actually invalidate FBC once something is written on the frontbuffer using WC mmaps. The problem with ORIGIN_GTT is that the automatic hardware tracking is not able to detect the WC writes as it can detect the GTT writes. This should help fix the SKL bug where nothing happens when you type your username/password on lightdm. This patch was originally pasted on an email by Chris and converted to an actual git patch by Paulo. v2 (from Paulo): - Make it a full variable instead of a bit-field (Daniel) - Use WRITE_ONCE (Chris) v3 (from Paulo): - Remove huge comment since now we have WRITE_ONCE (Chris) - Remove uneeded new line (Chris) - Add Chris' Signed-off-by, authorized via IRC Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1466185599-26401-1-git-send-email-paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com
