Subject: [PATCH FYI] tools headers UAPI: Sync drm/i915_drm.h with the kernel
 sources

Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

To pick up the changes in:

  caa574ffc4aaf4f2 ("drm/i915/uapi: document behaviour for DG2 64K support")

That don't add any new ioctl, so no changes in tooling.

This silences this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h'

+	 * Special DG2 GTT address alignment requirement:
+	 *
+	 * The GTT alignment will also need to be at least 2M for such objects.
+	 *
+	 * Note that due to how the hardware implements 64K GTT page support, we
+	 * have some further complications:
+	 *
+	 *   1) The entire PDE (which covers a 2MB virtual address range), must
+	 *   contain only 64K PTEs, i.e mixing 4K and 64K PTEs in the same
+	 *   PDE is forbidden by the hardware.
+	 *
+	 *   2) We still need to support 4K PTEs for I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEM
+	 *   objects.
+	 *
+	 * To keep things simple for userland, we mandate that any GTT mappings
+	 * must be aligned to and rounded up to 2MB. The kernel will internally
+	 * pad them out to the next 2MB boundary. As this only wastes virtual
+	 * address space and avoids userland having to copy any needlessly
+	 * complicated PDE sharing scheme (coloring) and only affects DG2, this
+	 * is deemed to be a good compromise.
