After the last round submitting the system-uncached heap, I got
some feedback that Daniel would like to see it demonstrated with
a mesa based system. I'm still working on such a gralloc
implementation (using the db845c), but along with other work, so
I don't yet have something to share there.
However, Bing Song reached out and was interested in having a
uncached variant for the CMA heap as well, and he shared this
patch providing an initial implementation.
This gave me some hesitation with regards to the earlier
discussion around what sort of attributes would be useful for
the flags field of the allocation IOCTL.
In earlier discussions, folks seemed happy to provide the
uncached system heap functionality as its own heap chardev, as
it seemed uncertain that the uncached attribute would truely be
generic across all heaps.
But with Bing's patch, it seems like it may be generically useful,
and utilizing a flag might be a bit cleaner then adding lots of
duplicative heap names postfixed with "-uncached".
So I wanted to re-submit both of these together to reopen that
discussion on the question of if a BUF_FLAG_UNCACHED flag would
make sense, or if folks still think separate heap chardevs is
the way to go.
thanks

2.17.1
Keep track of the heap device struct.
This will be useful for special DMA allocations
and actions.

2.17.1
This adds a heap that allocates non-contiguous buffers that are
marked as writecombined, so they are not cached by the CPU.
This is useful, as most graphics buffers are usually not touched
by the CPU or only written into once by the CPU. So when mapping
the buffer over and over between devices, we can skip the CPU
syncing, which saves a lot of cache management overhead, greatly
improving performance.
For folk using ION, there was a ION_FLAG_CACHED flag, which
signaled if the returned buffer should be CPU cacheable or not.
With DMA-BUF heaps, we do not yet have such a flag, and by default
the current heaps (system and cma) produce CPU cachable buffers.
So for folks transitioning from ION to DMA-BUF Heaps, this fills
in some of that missing functionality.
There has been a suggestion to make this functionality a flag
(DMAHEAP_FLAG_UNCACHED?) on the system heap, similar to how
ION used the ION_FLAG_CACHED. But I want to make sure an
_UNCACHED flag would truely be a generic attribute across all
heaps. So far that has been unclear, so having it as a separate
heap seemes better for now. (But I'm open to discussion on this
point!)
This is a rework of earlier efforts to add a uncached system heap,
done utilizing the exisitng system heap, adding just a bit of
logic to handle the uncached case.
Feedback would be very welcome!
Many thanks to Liam Mark for his help to get this working.
