-
-1. Graphics Execution Manager Overview
-
-Gem is designed to manage graphics memory, control access to the graphics
-device execution context and handle the essentially NUMA environment unique
-to modern graphics hardware. Gem allows multiple applications to share
-graphics device resources without the need to constantly reload the entire
-graphics card. Data may be shared between multiple applications with gem
-ensuring that the correct memory synchronization occurs.
-
-Graphics data can consume arbitrary amounts of memory, with 3D applications
-constructing ever larger sets of textures and vertices. With graphics cards
-memory space growing larger every year, and graphics APIs growing more
-complex, we can no longer insist that each application save a complete copy
-of their graphics state so that the card can be re-initialized from user
-space at each context switch. Ensuring that graphics data remains persistent
-across context switches allows applications significant new functionality
-while also improving performance for existing APIs.
-
-Modern linux desktops include significant 3D rendering as a fundemental
-component of the desktop image construction process. 2D and 3D applications
-paint their content to offscreen storage and the central 'compositing
-manager' constructs the final screen image from those window contents.  This
-means that pixel image data from these applications must move within reach
-of the compositing manager and used as source operands for screen image
-rendering operations.
-
-Gem provides simple mechanisms to manage graphics data and control execution
-flow within the linux operating system. Using many existing kernel
-subsystems, it does this with a modest amount of code.
-
-2. API Overview and Conventions
-
-All APIs here are defined in terms of ioctls appplied to the DRM file
-descriptor. To create and manipulate objects, an application must be
-'authorized' using the DRI or DRI2 protocols with the X server. To relax
-that, we will need to implement some better access control mechanisms within
-the hardware portion of the driver to prevent inappropriate
-cross-application data access.
-
-Any DRM driver which does not support GEM will return -ENODEV for all of
-these ioctls. Invalid object handles return -EINVAL. Invalid object names
-return -ENOENT. Other errors are as documented in the specific API below.
-
-To avoid the need to translate ioctl contents on mixed-size systems (with
-32-bit user space running on a 64-bit kernel), the ioctl data structures
-contain explicitly sized objects, using 64-bits for all size and pointer
-data and 32-bits for identifiers. In addition, the 64-bit objects are all
-carefully aligned on 64-bit boundaries. Because of this, all pointers in the
-ioctl data structures are passed as uint64_t values. Suitable casts will
-be necessary.
-
-One significant operation which is explicitly left out of this API is object
-locking. Applications are expected to perform locking of shared objects
-outside of the GEM api. This kind of locking is not necessary to safely
-manipulate the graphics engine, and with multiple objects interacting in
-unknown ways, per-object locking would likely introduce all kinds of
-lock-order issues. Punting this to the application seems like the only
-sensible plan. Given that DRM already offers a global lock on the hardware,
-this doesn't change the current situation.
-
-3. Object Creation and Destruction
-
-Gem provides explicit memory management primitives. System pages are
-allocated when the object is created, either as the fundemental storage for
-hardware where system memory is used by the graphics processor directly, or
-as backing store for graphics-processor resident memory.
-
-Objects are referenced from user space using handles. These are, for all
-intents and purposes, equivalent to file descriptors. We could simply use
-file descriptors were it not for the small limit (1024) of file descriptors
-available to applications, and for the fact that the X server (a rather
-significant user of this API) uses 'select' and has a limited maximum file
-descriptor for that operation. Given the ability to allocate more file
-descriptors, and given the ability to place these 'higher' in the file
-descriptor space, we'd love to simply use file descriptors.
-
-Objects may be published with a name so that other applications can access
-them. The name remains valid as long as the object exists. Right now, our
-DRI APIs use 32-bit integer names, so that's what we expose here
-
- A. Creation
-
-		struct drm_gem_create {
-			/**
-			 * Requested size for the object.
-			 *
-			 * The (page-aligned) allocated size for the object
-			 * will be returned.
-			 */
-			uint64_t size;
-			/**
-			 * Returned handle for the object.
-			 *
-			 * Object handles are nonzero.
-			 */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-		};
-	
-		/* usage */
-    		create.size = 16384;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CREATE, &create);
-		if (ret == 0)
-			return create.handle;
-
-	Note that the size is rounded up to a page boundary, and that
-	the rounded-up size is returned in 'size'. No name is assigned to
-	this object, making it local to this process.
-
-	If insufficient memory is availabe, -ENOMEM will be returned.
-
- B. Closing
-
-		struct drm_gem_close {
-			/** Handle of the object to be closed. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-		};
-		
-
-		/* usage */
-		close.handle = <handle>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE, &close);
-
-	This call makes the specified handle invalid, and if no other
-	applications are using the object, any necessary graphics hardware
-	synchronization is performed and the resources used by the object
-	released.
-
- C. Naming
-
-		struct drm_gem_flink {
-			/** Handle for the object being named */
-			uint32_t handle;
-		
-			/** Returned global name */
-			uint32_t name;
-		};
-		
-		/* usage */
-		flink.handle = <handle>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_FLINK, &flink);
-		if (ret == 0)
-			return flink.name;
-
-	Flink creates a name for the object and returns it to the
-	application. This name can be used by other applications to gain
-	access to the same object.
-
- D. Opening by name
-
-		struct drm_gem_open {
-			/** Name of object being opened */
-			uint32_t name;
-		
-			/** Returned handle for the object */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			
-			/** Returned size of the object */
-			uint64_t size;
-		};
-		
-		/* usage */
-		open.name = <name>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_OPEN, &open);
-		if (ret == 0) {
-			*sizep = open.size;
-			return open.handle;
-		}
-
-	Open accesses an existing object and returns a handle for it. If the
-	object doesn't exist, -ENOENT is returned. The size of the object is
-	also returned. This handle has all the same capabilities as the
-	handle used to create the object. In particular, the object is not
-	destroyed until all handles are closed.
-
-4. Basic read/write operations
-
-By default, gem objects are not mapped to the applications address space,
-getting data in and out of them is done with I/O operations instead. This
-allows the data to reside in otherwise unmapped pages, including pages in
-video memory on an attached discrete graphics card. In addition, using
-explicit I/O operations allows better control over cache contents, as
-graphics devices are generally not cache coherent with the CPU, mapping
-pages used for graphics into an application address space requires the use
-of expensive cache flushing operations. Providing direct control over
-graphics data access ensures that data are handled in the most efficient
-possible fashion.
-
- A. Reading
-
-		struct drm_gem_pread {
-			/** Handle for the object being read. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-			/** Offset into the object to read from */
-			uint64_t offset;
-			/** Length of data to read */
-			uint64_t size;
-			/** Pointer to write the data into. */
-			uint64_t data_ptr;	/* void * */
-		};
-
-	This copies data into the specified object at the specified
-	position. Any necessary graphics device synchronization and
-	flushing will be done automatically.
-		
-		struct drm_gem_pwrite {
-			/** Handle for the object being written to. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-			/** Offset into the object to write to */
-			uint64_t offset;
-			/** Length of data to write */
-			uint64_t size;
-			/** Pointer to read the data from. */
-			uint64_t data_ptr;	/* void * */
-		};
-		
-	This copies data out of the specified object into the
-	waiting user memory. Again, device synchronization will
-	be handled by the kernel to ensure user space sees a
-	consistent view of the graphics device.
-
-5. Mapping objects to user space
-
-For most objects, reading/writing is the preferred interaction mode.
-However, when the CPU is involved in rendering to cover deficiencies in
-hardware support for particular operations, the CPU will want to directly
-access the relevant objects. 
-
-Because mmap is fairly heavyweight, we allow applications to retain maps to
-objects persistently and then update how they're using the memory through a
-separate interface. Applications which fail to use this separate interface
-may exhibit unpredictable behaviour as memory consistency will not be
-preserved.
-
- A. Mapping
-
-		struct drm_gem_mmap {
-			/** Handle for the object being mapped. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-			/** Offset in the object to map. */
-			uint64_t offset;
-			/**
-			 * Length of data to map.
-			 *
-			 * The value will be page-aligned.
-			 */
-			uint64_t size;
-			/** Returned pointer the data was mapped at */
-			uint64_t addr_ptr;	/* void * */
-		};
-		
-		/* usage */
-		mmap.handle = <handle>;
-		mmap.offset = <offset>;
-		mmap.size = <size>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_MMAP, &mmap);
-		if (ret == 0)
-			return (void *) (uintptr_t) mmap.addr_ptr;
-
-
- B. Unmapping
-
-		munmap (addr, length);
-
-	Nothing strange here, just use the normal munmap syscall.
-
-6. Memory Domains
-
-Graphics devices remain a strong bastion of non cache-coherent memory. As a
-result, accessing data through one functional unit will end up loading that
-cache with data which then needs to be manually synchronized when that data
-is used with another functional unit.
-
-Tracking where data are resident is done by identifying how functional units
-deal with caches. Each cache is labeled as a separate memory domain. Then,
-each sequence of operations is expected to load data into various read
-domains and leave data in at most one write domain. Gem tracks the read and
-write memory domains of each object and performs the necessary
-synchronization operations when objects move from one domain set to another.
-
-For example, if operation 'A' constructs an image that is immediately used
-by operation 'B', then when the read domain for 'B' is not the same as the
-write domain for 'A', then the write domain must be flushed, and the read
-domain invalidated. If these two operations are both executed in the same
-command queue, then the flush operation can go inbetween them in the same
-queue, avoiding any kind of CPU-based synchronization and leaving the GPU to
-do the work itself.
-
-6.1 Memory Domains (GPU-independent)
-
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU.
-
- Objects in this domain are using caches which are connected to the CPU.
- Moving objects from non-CPU domains into the CPU domain can involve waiting
- for the GPU to finish with operations using this object. Moving objects
- from this domain to a GPU domain can involve flushing CPU caches and chipset
- buffers.
-
-6.1 GPU-independent memory domain ioctl
-
-This ioctl is independent of the GPU in use. So far, no use other than
-synchronizing objects to the CPU domain have been found; if that turns out
-to be generally true, this ioctl may be simplified further.
-   
- A. Explicit domain control
-
-		struct drm_gem_set_domain {
-			/** Handle for the object */
-			uint32_t handle;
-		
-			/** New read domains */
-			uint32_t read_domains;
-		
-			/** New write domain */
-			uint32_t write_domain;
-		};
-
-		/* usage */
-		set_domain.handle = <handle>;
-		set_domain.read_domains = <read_domains>;
-		set_domain.write_domain = <write_domain>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_GEM_SET_DOMAIN, &set_domain);
-		
-	When the application wants to explicitly manage memory domains for
-	an object, it can use this function. Usually, this is only used
-	when the application wants to synchronize object contents between
-	the GPU and CPU-based application rendering. In that case,
-	the <read_domains> would be set to DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU, and if the
-	application were going to write to the object, the <write_domain>
-	would also be set to DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU. After the call, gem
-	guarantees that all previous rendering operations involving this
-	object are complete. The application is then free to access the
-	object through the address returned by the mmap call. Afterwards,
-	when the application again uses the object through the GPU, any
-	necessary CPU flushing will occur and the object will be correctly
-	synchronized with the GPU.
-
-	Note that this synchronization is not required for any accesses
-	going through the driver itself. The pread, pwrite and execbuffer
-	ioctls all perform the necessary domain management internally.
-	Explicit synchronization is only necessary when accessing the object
-	through the mmap'd address.
-
-7. Execution (Intel specific)
-
-Managing the command buffers is inherently chip-specific, so the core of gem
-doesn't have any intrinsic functions. Rather, execution is left to the
-device-specific portions of the driver.
-
-The Intel DRM_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER ioctl takes a list of gem objects, all of
-which are mapped to the graphics device. The last object in the list is the
-command buffer.
-
-7.1. Relocations
- 
-Command buffers often refer to other objects, and to allow the kernel driver
-to move objects around, a sequence of relocations is associated with each
-object. Device-specific relocation operations are used to place the
-target-object relative value into the object.
-
-The Intel driver has a single relocation type:
-
-		struct drm_i915_gem_relocation_entry {
-			/**
-			 * Handle of the buffer being pointed to by this
-			 * relocation entry.
-			 *
-			 * It's appealing to make this be an index into the
-			 * mm_validate_entry list to refer to the buffer,
-			 * but this allows the driver to create a relocation
-			 * list for state buffers and not re-write it per
-			 * exec using the buffer.
-			 */
-			uint32_t target_handle;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Value to be added to the offset of the target
-			 * buffer to make up the relocation entry.
-			 */
-			uint32_t delta;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Offset in the buffer the relocation entry will be
-			 * written into
-			 */
-			uint64_t offset;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Offset value of the target buffer that the
-			 * relocation entry was last written as.
-			 *
-			 * If the buffer has the same offset as last time, we
-			 * can skip syncing and writing the relocation.  This
-			 * value is written back out by the execbuffer ioctl
-			 * when the relocation is written.
-			 */
-			uint64_t presumed_offset;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Target memory domains read by this operation.
-			 */
-			uint32_t read_domains;
-		
-			/*
-			 * Target memory domains written by this operation.
-			 *
-			 * Note that only one domain may be written by the
-			 * whole execbuffer operation, so that where there are
-			 * conflicts, the application will get -EINVAL back.
-			 */
-			uint32_t write_domain;
-		};
-		
-	'target_handle', the handle to the target object. This object must
-	be one of the objects listed in the execbuffer request or
-	bad things will happen. The kernel doesn't check for this.
-
-	'offset' is where, in the source object, the relocation data
-	are written. Each relocation value is a 32-bit value consisting
-	of the location of the target object in the GPU memory space plus
-	the 'delta' value included in the relocation.
-
-	'presumed_offset' is where user-space believes the target object
-	lies in GPU memory space. If this value matches where the object
-	actually is, then no relocation data are written, the kernel
-	assumes that user space has set up data in the source object
-	using this presumption. This offers a fairly important optimization
-	as writing relocation data requires mapping of the source object
-	into the kernel memory space.
-
-	'read_domains' and 'write_domains' list the usage by the source
-	object of the target object. The kernel unions all of the domain
-	information from all relocations in the execbuffer request. No more
-	than one write_domain is allowed, otherwise an EINVAL error is
-	returned. read_domains must contain write_domain. This domain
-	information is used to synchronize buffer contents as described
-	above in the section on domains.
-
-7.1.1 Memory Domains (Intel specific)
-
-The Intel GPU has several internal caches which are not coherent and hence
-require explicit synchronization. Memory domains provide the necessary data
-to synchronize what is needed while leaving other cache contents intact.
-
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_I915_RENDER.
-   The GPU 3D and 2D rendering operations use a unified rendering cache, so
-   operations doing 3D painting and 2D blts will use this domain
-   
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_I915_SAMPLER
-   Textures are loaded by the sampler through a separate cache, so
-   any texture reading will use this domain. Note that the sampler
-   and renderer use different caches, so moving an object from render target
-   to texture source will require a domain transfer.
-   
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_I915_COMMAND
-   The command buffer doesn't have an explicit cache (although it does
-   read ahead quite a bit), so this domain just indicates that the object
-   needs to be flushed to the GPU.
-   
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_I915_INSTRUCTION
-   All of the programs on Gen4 and later chips use an instruction cache to
-   speed program execution. It must be explicitly flushed when new programs
-   are written to memory by the CPU.
-
- * DRM_GEM_DOMAIN_I915_VERTEX
-   Vertex data uses two different vertex caches, but they're
-   both flushed with the same instruction.
-
-7.2 Execution object list (Intel specific)
-
-		struct drm_i915_gem_exec_object {
-			/**
-			 * User's handle for a buffer to be bound into the GTT
-			 * for this operation.
-			 */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			
-			/**
-			 * List of relocations to be performed on this buffer
-			 */
-			uint32_t relocation_count;
-			/* struct drm_i915_gem_relocation_entry *relocs */
-			uint64_t relocs_ptr;
-			
-			/** 
-			 * Required alignment in graphics aperture 
-			 */
-			uint64_t alignment;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Returned value of the updated offset of the object,
-			 * for future presumed_offset writes.
-			 */
-			uint64_t offset;
-		};
-			
-	Each object involved in a particular execution operation must be
-	listed using one of these structures.
-
-	'handle' references the object.
-
-	'relocs_ptr' is a user-mode pointer to a array of 'relocation_count'
-	drm_i915_gem_relocation_entry structs (see above) that
-	define the relocations necessary in this buffer. Note that all
-	relocations must reference other exec_object structures in the same
-	execbuffer ioctl and that those other buffers must come earlier in
-	the exec_object array. In other words, the dependencies mapped by the
-	exec_object relocations must form a directed acyclic graph.
-
-	'alignment' is the byte alignment necessary for this buffer. Each
-	object has specific alignment requirements, as the kernel doesn't
-	know what each object is being used for, those requirements must be
-	provided by user mode. If an object is used in two different ways,
-	it's quite possible that the alignment requirements will differ.
-
-	'offset' is a return value, receiving the location of the object
-	during this execbuffer operation. The application should use this
-	as the presumed offset in future operations; if the object does not
-	move, then kernel need not write relocation data.
-
-7.3 Execbuffer ioctl (Intel specific)
-
-		struct drm_i915_gem_execbuffer {
-			/**
-			 * List of buffers to be validated with their
-			 * relocations to be performend on them.
-			 *
-			 * These buffers must be listed in an order such that
-			 * all relocations a buffer is performing refer to
-			 * buffers that have already appeared in the validate
-			 * list.
-			 */
-			/* struct drm_i915_gem_validate_entry *buffers */
-			uint64_t buffers_ptr;
-			uint32_t buffer_count;
-		
-			/**
-			 * Offset in the batchbuffer to start execution from.
-			 */
-			uint32_t batch_start_offset;
-			
-			/**
-			 * Bytes used in batchbuffer from batch_start_offset
-			 */
-			uint32_t batch_len;
-			uint32_t DR1;
-			uint32_t DR4;
-			uint32_t num_cliprects;
-			uint64_t cliprects_ptr;	/* struct drm_clip_rect *cliprects */
-		};
-		
-
-	'buffers_ptr' is a user-mode pointer to an array of 'buffer_count'
-	drm_i915_gem_exec_object structures which contains the complete set
-	of objects required for this execbuffer operation. The last entry in
-	this array, the 'batch buffer', is the buffer of commands which will
-	be linked to the ring and executed.
-
-	'batch_start_offset' is the byte offset within the batch buffer which
-	contains the first command to execute. So far, we haven't found a
-	reason to use anything other than '0' here, but the thought was that
-	some space might be allocated for additional initialization which
-	could be skipped in some cases. This must be a multiple of 4.
-
-	'batch_len' is the length, in bytes, of the data to be executed
-	(i.e., the amount of data after batch_start_offset). This must
-	be a multiple of 4.
-
-	'num_cliprects' and 'cliprects_ptr' reference an array of
-	drm_clip_rect structures that is num_cliprects long. The entire
-	batch buffer will be executed multiple times, once for each
-	rectangle in this list. If num_cliprects is 0, then no clipping
-	rectangle will be set.
-
-	'DR1' and 'DR4' are portions of the 3DSTATE_DRAWING_RECTANGLE
-	command which will be queued when this operation is clipped
-	(num_cliprects != 0).
-
-		DR1 bit		definition
-		31		Fast Scissor Clip Disable (debug only).
-				Disables a hardware optimization that
-				improves performance. This should have
-				no visible effect, other than reducing
-				performance
-				
-		30		Depth Buffer Coordinate Offset Disable.
-				This disables the addition of the
-				depth buffer offset bits which are used
-				to change the location of the depth buffer
-				relative to the front buffer.
-
-		27:26		X Dither Offset. Specifies the X pixel
-				offset to use when accessing the dither table
-				
-		25:24		Y Dither Offset. Specifies the Y pixel
-				offset to use when accessing the dither
-				table.
-
-		DR4 bit		definition
-		31:16		Drawing Rectangle Origin Y. Specifies the Y
-				origin of coordinates relative to the
-				draw buffer.
-
-		15:0		Drawing Rectangle Origin X. Specifies the X
-				origin of coordinates relative to the
-				draw buffer.
-
-	As you can see, these two fields are necessary for correctly
-	offsetting drawing within a buffer which contains multiple surfaces.
-	Note that DR1 is only used on Gen3 and earlier hardware and that
-	newer hardware sticks the dither offset elsewhere.
-
-7.3.1 Detailed Execution Description
-
-	Execution of a single batch buffer requires several preparatory
-	steps to make the objects visible to the graphics engine and resolve
-	relocations to account for their current addresses.
-
- A. Mapping and Relocation
-
-	Each exec_object structure in the array is examined in turn. 
-	
-	If the object is not already bound to the GTT, it is assigned a
-	location in the graphics address space. If no space is available in
-	the GTT, some other object will be evicted. This may require waiting
-	for previous execbuffer requests to complete before that object can
-	be unmapped. With the location assigned, the pages for the object
-	are pinned in memory using find_or_create_page and the GTT entries
-	updated to point at the relevant pages using drm_agp_bind_pages.
-	
-	Then the array of relocations is traversed. Each relocation record
-	looks up the target object and, if the presumed offset does not
-	match the current offset (remember that this buffer has already been
-	assigned an address as it must have been mapped earlier), the
-	relocation value is computed using the current offset.  If the
-	object is currently in use by the graphics engine, writing the data
-	out must be preceeded by a delay while the object is still busy.
-	Once it is idle, then the page containing the relocation is mapped
-	by the CPU and the updated relocation data written out.
-
-	The read_domains and write_domain entries in each relocation are
-	used to compute the new read_domains and write_domain values for the
-	target buffers. The actual execution of the domain changes must wait
-	until all of the exec_object entries have been evaluated as the
-	complete set of domain information will not be available until then.
-	
- B. Memory Domain Resolution
-
-	After all of the new memory domain data has been pulled out of the
-	relocations and computed for each object, the list of objects is
-	again traversed and the new memory domains compared against the
-	current memory domains. There are two basic operations involved here:
-
- 	 * Flushing the current write domain. If the new read domains
-	   are not equal to the current write domain, then the current
-	   write domain must be flushed. Otherwise, reads will not see data
-	   present in the write domain cache. In addition, any new read domains
-	   other than the current write domain must be invalidated to ensure
-	   that the flushed data are re-read into their caches.
-
-	 * Invaliding new read domains. Any domains which were not currently
-	   used for this object must be invalidated as old objects which
-	   were mapped at the same location may have stale data in the new
-	   domain caches.
-
-	If the CPU cache is being invalidated and some GPU cache is being
-	flushed, then we'll have to wait for rendering to complete so that
-	any pending GPU writes will be complete before we flush the GPU
-	cache.
-
-	If the CPU cache is being flushed, then we use 'clflush' to get data
-	written from the CPU.
-
-	Because the GPU caches cannot be partially flushed or invalidated,
-	we don't actually flush them during this traversal stage. Rather, we
-	gather the invalidate and flush bits up in the device structure.
-
-	Once all of the object domain changes have been evaluated, then the
-	gathered invalidate and flush bits are examined. For any GPU flush
-	operations, we emit a single MI_FLUSH command that performs all of
-	the necessary flushes. We then look to see if the CPU cache was
-	flushed. If so, we use the chipset flush magic (writing to a special
-	page) to get the data out of the chipset and into memory.
-
- C. Queuing Batch Buffer to the Ring
-
-	With all of the objects resident in graphics memory space, and all
-	of the caches prepared with appropriate data, the batch buffer
-	object can be queued to the ring. If there are clip rectangles, then
-	the buffer is queued once per rectangle, with suitable clipping
-	inserted into the ring just before the batch buffer.
-
- D. Creating an IRQ Cookie
-
-	Right after the batch buffer is placed in the ring, a request to
-	generate an IRQ is added to the ring along with a command to write a
-	marker into memory. When the IRQ fires, the driver can look at the
-	memory location to see where in the ring the GPU has passed. This
-	magic cookie value is stored in each object used in this execbuffer
-	command; it is used whereever you saw 'wait for rendering' above in
-	this document.
-
- E. Writing back the new object offsets
-
-	So that the application has a better idea what to use for
-	'presumed_offset' values later, the current object offsets are
-	written back to the exec_object structures.
-
-
-8. Other misc Intel-specific functions.
-
-To complete the driver, a few other functions were necessary.
-
-8.1 Initialization from the X server
-
-As the X server is currently responsible for apportioning memory between 2D
-and 3D, it must tell the kernel which region of the GTT aperture is
-available for 3D objects to be mapped into.
-
-		struct drm_i915_gem_init {
-			/**
-			 * Beginning offset in the GTT to be managed by the
-			 * DRM memory manager.
-			 */
-			uint64_t gtt_start;
-			/**
-			 * Ending offset in the GTT to be managed by the DRM
-			 * memory manager.
-			 */
-			uint64_t gtt_end;
-		};
-		/* usage */
-		init.gtt_start = <gtt_start>;
-		init.gtt_end = <gtt_end>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_INIT, &init);
-
-	The GTT aperture between gtt_start and gtt_end will be used to map
-	objects. This also tells the kernel that the ring can be used,
-	pulling the ring addresses from the device registers.
-
-8.2 Pinning objects in the GTT
-
-For scan-out buffers and the current shared depth and back buffers, we need
-to have them always available in the GTT, at least for now. Pinning means to
-lock their pages in memory along with keeping them at a fixed offset in the
-graphics aperture. These operations are available only to root.
-		
-		struct drm_i915_gem_pin {
-			/** Handle of the buffer to be pinned. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-			
-			/** alignment required within the aperture */
-			uint64_t alignment;
-		
-			/** Returned GTT offset of the buffer. */
-			uint64_t offset;
-		};
-
-		/* usage */
-		pin.handle = <handle>;
-		pin.alignment = <alignment>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_PIN, &pin);
-		if (ret == 0)
-			return pin.offset;
-
-	Pinning an object ensures that it will not be evicted from the GTT
-	or moved. It will stay resident until destroyed or unpinned.
-		
-		struct drm_i915_gem_unpin {
-			/** Handle of the buffer to be unpinned. */
-			uint32_t handle;
-			uint32_t pad;
-		};
-		
-		/* usage */
-		unpin.handle = <handle>;
-		ret = ioctl (fd, DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_UNPIN, &unpin);
-		
-	Unpinning an object makes it possible to evict this object from the
-	GTT. It doesn't ensure that it will be evicted, just that it may.

-/** @file drm_gem.c
- *
- * This file provides some of the base ioctls and library routines for
- * the graphics memory manager implemented by each device driver.
- *
- * Because various devices have different requirements in terms of
- * synchronization and migration strategies, implementing that is left up to
- * the driver, and all that the general API provides should be generic --
- * allocating objects, reading/writing data with the cpu, freeing objects.
- * Even there, platform-dependent optimizations for reading/writing data with
- * the CPU mean we'll likely hook those out to driver-specific calls.  However,
- * the DRI2 implementation wants to have at least allocate/mmap be generic.
- *
- * The goal was to have swap-backed object allocation managed through
- * struct file.  However, file descriptors as handles to a struct file have
- * two major failings:
- * - Process limits prevent more than 1024 or so being used at a time by
- *   default.
- * - Inability to allocate high fds will aggravate the X Server's select()
- *   handling, and likely that of many GL client applications as well.
- *
- * This led to a plan of using our own integer IDs (called handles, following
- * DRM terminology) to mimic fds, and implement the fd syscalls we need as
- * ioctls.  The objects themselves will still include the struct file so
- * that we can transition to fds if the required kernel infrastructure shows
- * up at a later date, and as our interface with shmfs for memory allocation.
