    drm/i915: Implement command buffer parsing logic · 351e3db2
    Brad Volkin authored
    The command parser scans batch buffers submitted via execbuffer ioctls before
    the driver submits them to hardware. At a high level, it looks for several
    things:
    
    1) Commands which are explicitly defined as privileged or which should only be
       used by the kernel driver. The parser generally rejects such commands, with
       the provision that it may allow some from the drm master process.
    2) Commands which access registers. To support correct/enhanced userspace
       functionality, particularly certain OpenGL extensions, the parser provides a
       whitelist of registers which userspace may safely access (for both normal and
       drm master processes).
    3) Commands which access privileged memory (i.e. GGTT, HWS page, etc). The
       parser always rejects such commands.
    
    See the overview comment in the source for more details.
    
    This patch only implements the logic. Subsequent patches will build the tables
    that drive the parser.
