drm-amdkfd-next-2015-05-18:
- Add the interrupts & events modules, including new IOCTLs to create and
wait on events. The HSA RT open source stack is mainly using events to know when a dispatched work has been completed. In addition, this module is a pre-requisite for the next module I'm going to upstream - debugger support
This module also handles H/W exceptions, such as memory exception received through the IOMMUv2 H/W and Bad Opcode exception receieved from the GPU.
- Adding a new kernel module parameter to let the user decide whether he
wants to receive a SIGTERM when a memory exception occurs inside the GPU kernel and the HSA application doesn't wait on an appropriate event, or if he just want to receive notification about this event in dmesg. The default is the latter.
Additional improvements for SDMA code
Update my email address in Maintainers file as I'm leaving AMD in two
weeks.
Two things,
a) pull request from ssh:// please fix scripts to generate git:// URLs,
b) ioctls with bool in them make me worry, four packed bool's even more, 4 packed bools with a 64-bit straight after them put me over the not pulling this edge.
I don't trust bools in ioctl defintions, please use explicitly sized types.
Dave.
