Freshly allocated BOs from libdrm have to be zeroed. Since the libdrm/iris
caches VRAM allocations, we don't want to attach/detach parts of dataspaces at
every allocation. Some objects are used long (through caching in the iris
Gallium driver). Therefore, zero object on release where the region might
already be mapped.
issue #5224
This patch was back ported from upstream Mesa and generalizes the memory
management of buffer objects used by the binder. Before this patch the
binder was treated as a special case where buffer objects were allocated
with a simple "next block or wrap" allocator. With this commit the
binder now uses the vm_heap allocators as done by all other buffer
allocations which leads to issues with reference counting and object
destruction being resolved.
Original commit message:
We're moving towards a path where all contexts share the same virtual
memory - because this will make implementing vm_bind much easier - ,
and to achieve that we need to rework the binder memzone. As it is,
different contexts will choose overlapping addresses. So in this patch
we adjust the Binder to be 1GB - per Ken's suggestion - and use a real
vma_heap for it. As a bonus the code gets simpler since it just reuses
the same pattern we already have for the other memzones.
There is one binder with one memory zone per OpenGL context. The patch was
needed before because Genode didn't have proper context support (separate page
tables) leading to binders from one or more context being allocated to the same
GPU address with the same page tables. This was clearly an error and is fixed
with context support.
issue #4664
* let iris handle buffer management, this implies that BOs are mapped to
the PPGTT during buffer execution and unmapped by iris later, for this
to work buffers need to be unmapped when allocating cached BOs
(vma_free) which requires a patch
* support lseek (drm_lseek for now) for determining object size
issue #4380
* Switch mesa support from DRI to gallium
Supported drivers are
- softpipe (Sebstian Sumpf)
- iris for Intel GPUs (Alexander Boetcher)
- etnaviv for Vivante GPUs (Josef Söntgen)
* Mesa's generated files are placed into 'contrib/mesa-<hash>/generated'
and are cloned per default from a separate Git repo in order to avoid
hash updates upon package build. In case you need to generate files
yourself use
! prepare_port mesa GENERATE_FILES=1
