drm/omap: add GEM support for tiled/dmm buffers
TILER/DMM provides two features for omapdrm GEM objects:
1) providing a physically contiguous view to discontiguous memory
for hw initiators that cannot otherwise support discontiguous
buffers (DSS scanout, IVAHD video decode/encode, etc)
2) providing untiling for 2d tiled buffers, which are used in some
cases to provide rotation and reduce memory bandwidth for hw
initiators that tend to access data in 2d block patterns.
For 2d tiled buffers, there are some additional complications when
it comes to userspace mmap'ings. For non-tiled buffers, the original
(potentially physically discontiguous) pages are used to back the
mmap. For tiled buffers, we need to mmap via the tiler/dmm region to
provide an unswizzled view of the buffer. But (a) the buffer is not
necessarily pinned in TILER all the time (it can be unmapped when
there is no DMA access to the buffer), and (b) when they are they
are pinned, they not necessarily page aligned from the perspective of
the CPU. And non-page aligned userspace buffer mapping is evil.
To solve this, we reserve one or more small regions in each of the 2d
containers when the driver is loaded to use as a "user-GART" where we
can create a second page-aligned mapping of parts of the buffer being
accessed from userspace. Page faulting is used to evict and remap
different regions of whichever buffers are being accessed from user-
space.

drm/omap: DMM/TILER support for OMAP4+ platform
Dynamic Memory Manager (DMM) is a hardware block in the OMAP4+
processor that contains at least one TILER instance. TILER, or
Tiling and Isometric Lightweight Engine for Rotation, provides
IOMMU capabilities through the use of a physical address translation
table. The TILER also provides zero cost rotation and mirroring.
The TILER provides both 1D and 2D access by providing different views
or address ranges that can be used to access the physical memory that
has been mapped in through the PAT. Access to the 1D view results in
linear access to the underlying memory. Access to the 2D views result
in tiled access to the underlying memory resulted in increased
efficiency.
The TILER address space is managed by a tiler container manager (TCM)
and allocates the address space through the use of the Simple Tiler
Allocation algorithm (SiTA). The purpose of the algorithm is to keep
fragmentation of the address space as low as possible.

The irq handler processes queued mei clients connect requests, which were

The handler may transfer the connection request only if there is

This condition was implemented inversely which depending on

Set the length field of the scatter gather elements correctly when we create

However, on the "read" side, the current code was not correctly setting

buffer (for the read case), the amount we copy is controlled by the original
scatter gather list given to the driver.

When updating the scan mask we have to check the actual scan mask for if the
channel is already enabled, not the matching scan mask from the available
scan masks. The bit will already be set there and as a result the actual
scan mask will not get updated and the channel stays disabled.
Also fix the return value of iio_scan_el_store which would return 1 instead of
the number of bytes written if the channel was already active in the scan mask.
The sw_ring does not properly handle the case where the write pointer already
has wrapped around, the read pointer has not and the remaining buffer space at
the end is enough to fill the read buffer:
In this case the current code will copy all available data to the buffer and
as a result will write beyond the bounds of the buffer and cause a memory
corruption.
To address this issue this patch adds code to calculate the available buffer
space and makes sure that the number of bytes to copy does not exceed this
number. This allows the code which copies the data around to be simplified as
it only has to consider two cases: Read wraps around and read does not wrap
around.

really being currently captured from the device (different from
what is desired as often has bonus channels).
