The error handling code w.r.t. idr usage looks inconsistent.
In the case of drm_mode_object_get() and drm_ctxbitmap_next() the error
handling is also incomplete.
Unify the code to follow the same pattern always.

This adds the basic drm dma-buf interface layer, called PRIME. This
commit doesn't add any driver support, it is simply and agreed upon starting
point so we can work towards merging driver support for the next merge window.
Current drivers with work done are nouveau, i915, udl, exynos and omap.
The main APIs exposed to userspace allow translating a 32-bit object handle
to a file descriptor, and a file descriptor to a 32-bit object handle.
The flags value is currently limited to O_CLOEXEC.

Two parts to this, one is simple unplug from sysfs for the device node.
The second adds an unplugged state, if we have device opens, we
just set the unplugged state and return, if we have no device
opens we drop the drm device.
If after a lastclose we discover we are unplugged we then
drop the drm device.
v2: use an atomic for unplugged and wrap it for users,
add checks on open + mmap + ioctl entry points.

Talking to Al Viro on irc, we can see no possible reason for doing
this, the upper mmap code does it. The code has been there since
first import into drm tree I can find.
Al tracked down this as a requirement pre 2.3.51 hasn't been needed since.

These small changes should allow GEM to be used with non shmem objects as
well as shmem objects. In the GMA500 case it allows the base framebuffer to
appear as a GEM object and thus acquire a handle and work with KMS.
For i915 it ought to be trivial to get back the wasted memory but putting the
system fb back into stolen RAM and in general I can imagine it allowing the
use of GEM and thus KMS with all the older cards that have their framebuffer
firmly placed in video RAM.

This pulls in all the drm fixes up to this point which are needed
for some -next patches to work.

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once
"tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can
be applied to ease the transition.
Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in
the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with
the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized.
Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset,
asking for a cold page is counter-productive.
Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now
declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.

Using an order 19 drm_ht for the mmap offsets is a little obscene. That
means that will a fully populated GTT with every single object mmaped at
least once in its lifetime, there will be exactly one object in each
bucket.
Typically systems only have at most a few thousand objects, though you
may see a KDE desktop hit 50000. And most of those should never be
mapped... On my systems, just using an order 10 ht would still have an
average occupancy less than 1, so apply a small safety factor and
use an order 12 ht, like the other mmap offset ht.

This is just an idea that might or might not be a good idea,
it basically adds two ioctls to create a dumb and map a dumb buffer
suitable for scanout. The handle can be passed to the KMS ioctls to create
a framebuffer.
It looks to me like it would be useful in the following cases:
a) in development drivers - we can always provide a shadowfb fallback.
b) libkms users - we can clean up libkms a lot and avoid linking
to libdrm_*.
c) plymouth via libkms is a lot easier.
Userspace bits would be just calls + mmaps. We could probably
mark these handles somehow as not being suitable for acceleartion
so as top stop people who are dumber than dumb.

There were lots of places being inconsistent since handle count
looked like a kref but it really wasn't.
Fix this my just making handle count an atomic on the object,
and have it increase the normal object kref.
Now i915/radeon/nouveau drivers can drop the normal reference on
userspace object creation, and have the handle hold it.
This patch fixes a memory leak or corruption on unload, because
the driver had no way of knowing if a handle had been actually
added for this object, and the fbcon object needed to know this
to clean itself up properly.

Having missed the ENOMEM return via i915_gem_fault(), there are probably
other paths that I also missed. By not enabling NORETRY by default these
paths can run the shrinker and take memory from the system (but not from
our own inactive lists because our shrinker can not run whilst we hold
the struct mutex) and this may allow the system to survive a little longer
whilst our drivers consume all available memory.

Some architectures compute ->vm_page_prot depending on ->vm_flags, so we
need to update the protections after adjusting the flags.
AFAIK this only affects running X under Xen; without this patch you get
lots of coloured blobs on the screen, or maybe a complete lockup. Or
anything really.
But that still depends on lots of out-of-tree stuff, so I don't think
there are any consequences for anyone else. But it is wrong in principle.

Due to the necessity of having to take the struct_mutex, the i915
shrinker can not free the inactive lists if we fail to allocate memory
whilst processing a batch buffer, triggering an OOM and an ENOMEM that
is reported back to userspace. In order to fare better under such
circumstances we need to manually retry a failed allocation after
evicting inactive buffers.
To do so involves 3 steps:
1. Marking the backing shm pages as NORETRY.
2. Updating the get_pages() callers to evict something on failure and then
retry.
3. Revamping the evict something logic to be smarter about the required
buffer size and prefer to use volatile or clean inactive pages.

Once upon a time, the DRM made the distinction between the drm_map
data structure exchanged with user space and the drm_local_map used
in the kernel.
For some reasons, while the BSD port still has that "feature", the
linux part abused drm_map for kernel internal usage as the local
map only existed as a typedef of the struct drm_map.
This patch fixes it by declaring struct drm_local_map separately
(though its content is currently identical to the userspace variant),
and changing the kernel code to only use that, except when it's a
user<->kernel interface (ie. ioctl).
This allows subsequent changes to the in-kernel format
I've also replaced the use of drm_local_map_t with struct drm_local_map
in a couple of places. Mostly by accident but they are the same (the
former is a typedef of the later) and I have some remote plans and
half finished patch to completely kill the drm_local_map_t typedef
so I left those bits in.

The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for
anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it
should enable accounting for the resulting shm object. It would then
clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing
shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case).
This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just
unnecessary confusion. Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for
this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from
that.
This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a
non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite
possibly not intentional. But since I didn't want to change semantics
in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the
new flag semantics.

The page protections need to be checked whether they need to be more flexible.

Add core support for mapping of GEM objects. Drivers should provide a
vm_operations_struct if they want to support page faulting of objects.
The code for handling GEM object offsets was taken from TTM, which was
written by Thomas Hellström.

GEM allows the creation of persistent buffer objects accessible by the
graphics device through new ioctls for managing execution of commands on the
device. The userland API is almost entirely driver-specific to ensure that
any driver building on this model can easily map the interface to individual
driver requirements.
GEM is used by the 2d driver for managing its internal state allocations and
will be used for pixmap storage to reduce memory consumption and enable
zero-copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, and in the 3d driver is used to enable
GL_EXT_framebuffer_object and GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object.
