Daniel, Ville,

i tested Ville's patch series for the scanoutpos improvements on a GMA-950, on top of airlied's current drm-next branch.

There's one issue: The variable "position" in i915_get_crtc_scanoutpos() must be turned from a u32 into a int, otherwise funny sign errors happen and we end up with *vpos being off by multiple million scanlines and timestamps being off by over 60 seconds.

Other than that looks good. Execution time is now better:

Before uncore.lock addition: 3-4 usecs execution time for the scanoutpos query on my machine. After uncore.lock addition (3.12.0-rc3) 9-20 usecs, sometimes repetition of the timing loop triggered. After Ville's patches down to typically 3-8 usecs, occassionally spiking to almost 20 usecs.

I'll make my patches for the realtime kernel + increased accuracy on top of drm-next + Ville's patches.

thanks,
-mario

The reported scanout position must be relative to the end of vblank.
Currently we manage to fumble that in a few ways.

First we don't consider the case when vtotal != vbl_end. While that
isn't very common (happens maybe only w/ old panel fitting hardware),
we can fix it easily enough.

The second issue is that on pre-CTG hardware we convert the pixel count
to horizontal/vertical components at the very beginning, and then forget
to adjust the horizontal component to be relative to vbl_end. So instead
we should keep our numbers in the pixel count domain while we're
adjusting the position to be relative to vbl_end. Then when we do the
conversion in the end, both vertical _and_ horizontal components will
come out correct.
