Subject: [git pull] AGP patches for 2.6.28-rc4

Hi Linus,

Please pull the 'agp-fixes' branch from
git://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/agp-2.6.git agp-fixes

This contains two fixes,

oops fix: intel g33 fix for 1MB aperture setting

PAE kernel + AGP + GEM fix. The patch contains more explaination, but 
since GEM uses shmem to allocate pages it can pass highmem pages into AGP,
AGP just needs to pass those addressess around cleanly in dma_addr_t. The 
correct answer is to use struct page *, but that is way too invasive for 
this stage of a kernel release.

Dave.

commit d5e4cc00c911a72709a8d012179980a6157ba552

    intel-agp: Avoid oops for G33 on 1MB stolen case
    
    This is similar to f443675affe3f16dd428e46f0f7fd3f4d703eeab which was
    reverted because it broke older X.org driver. This patch only fixes
    the 1MB stolen case since it causes an oops.
    
    Xorg will not work without the accompanying patch[1] but avoiding an
    oops and making it possible to work with patched xorg driver is
    reasonable.
    
    [1] http://ifup.org/~philips/review/xf86-video-intel-G33-1mb.patch
    
    Explanation of the oops:
    
    > static void intel_i830_init_gtt_entries(void)
    ...
    >         } else if (IS_G33) {
    >         /* G33's GTT size defined in gmch_ctrl */
    >                 switch (gmch_ctrl & G33_PGETBL_SIZE_MASK) {
    >                 case G33_PGETBL_SIZE_1M:
    >                         size = 1024;
    >                         break;
    ...
    >                 size += 4;
    
    size = 1028
    
    Then since we have the BIOS setting 1MB for the device in the GMCH
    control we get to here:
    
    >         } else {
    >                 switch (gmch_ctrl & I855_GMCH_GMS_MASK) {
    >                 case I855_GMCH_GMS_STOLEN_1M:
    >                         gtt_entries = MB(1) - KB(size);
    >                         break;
    
    MB(1) = 1 * 1024 * 1024
    KB(1028) = 1028 * 1024
    
    MB(1) - KB(1028) = -4096
    
    >         gtt_entries /= KB(4);
    >         intel_private.gtt_entries = gtt_entries;
    
    We end up with -1 in gtt_entries.
    
    This leads to intel_i915_configure reading/writing to areas outside of
    mapped memory and the oops.

commit b4f5dfa4b12efeea816a6f16ddb4c8851adbd39a
Author: Pierre Willenbrock <pierre@...soft.de>
Date:   Mon Nov 3 21:14:56 2008 -0800

    agp: change physical address type from unsigned long to dma_addr_t
    
    This fixes enough of the interface for i915 DRM with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64. It
    doesn't fix the physical addresses when passed to intelfb, mtrr or userspace.
    
    airlied: This patch is sufficent to fix GEM use cases, we should overhaul AGP
    later to make it use struct page *, instead of this. AGP allocated pages are
    safe because we never use highmem pages, GEM allocated pages never use
    virt_to_*.
