[Nouveau] [RFC] Deprecate AGP GART support for Radeon/Nouveau/TTM

Unfortunately AGP is still to widely used as we could just drop support for
using its GART.

Not using the AGP GART also doesn't mean a loss in functionality since
drivers will just fallback to the driver specific PCI GART.

For now just deprecate the code and don't enable the AGP GART in TTM even
when general AGP support is available.

Please comment,
Christian.

[Nouveau] [PATCH 1/2] drm/radeon: disable AGP by default

Always use the PCI GART instead.

[Nouveau] [PATCH 2/2] drm/ttm: deprecate AGP support

Even when core AGP support is compiled in Radeon and
Nouveau can also work with the PCI GART.

The AGP support was notorious unstable and hard to
maintain, so deprecate it for now and only enable it if
there is a good reason to do so.

So a lot more work, and more risk (but hey it's agp, how busted can it
get) could be to demidlayer this. I.e. a small set of helpers to create a
TTM_PL_TT manager, backed by agp. With zero agp code remaining in ttm
itself, and all the ttm agp code moved out to a ttm-agp-helper.ko module
that drivers would call.

But again a lot of work, so really only an option if we can't sunset agp
directly.

[Nouveau] [RFC] Deprecate AGP GART support for Radeon/Nouveau/TTM

So I've used an ancient system (32bit) to setup a test box for this.

The first GPU I could test is an RV280 (Radeon 9200 PRO) which is easily
15 years old.

What happens in AGP mode is that glxgears shows artifacts during
rendering on this system.

In PCI mode those rendering artifacts are gone and glxgears seems to
draw everything correctly now.

Performance is obviously not comparable, cause in AGP we don't render
all triangles correctly.

The second GPU I could test is an RV630 PRO (Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP)
which is more than 10 years old.

As far as I can tell this one works in both AGP and PCIe mode perfectly
fine.

Since this is only a 32bit system I couldn't really test any OpenGL game
that well.

But for glxgears switching from AGP to PCIe mode seems to result in a
roughly 5% performance drop.

The surprising reason for this is not the better TLB performance, but
the lack of USWC support for the PCIe GART in radeon.

So if anybody wants to get his hands dirty and squeeze a bit more
performance out of the old hardware, porting USWC from amdgpu to radeon
shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Summing it up I'm still leaning towards disabling AGP completely by
default for radeon and deprecate it in TTM as well.

Thoughts? Especially Alex what do you think.

Regards,
Christian.

Oh, I have one of those in box somewhere, but no AGP machine to
install it (yet).

I agree, correctness before performance, always.

I usually test with my distro's (Debian or Ubuntu, in my case) games.
For example, I used Nexuiz when wiring up the shader cache on r300g.

Well, FWIW, I would argue that a regression in performance, if
avoidable, should be avoided. I have not nearly enough knowledge of
the driver to do it myself, but I'll glady test any patches, on both
x86-64 (Radeon Xpress 1250) and ppc32 (Mobility Radeon 9550).

Cheers,
Rui

We do support USWC on radeon, although I think we had separate flags
for cached and WC.  That said we had a lot of problems with WC on 32
bit (see radeon_bo_create()).  The other problem is that, at least on
the really old radeons, the PCI gart didn't support snooped and
unsnooped.  It was always snooped.  It wasn't until pcie that the gart
hw got support for both.  For AGP, the expectation was that AGP
provided the uncached memory.

Works for me.

I suspect the main reason it's only 5% is that PCIe GART page tables are
stored in VRAM, so they don't need to be fetched across the PCIe link
(and presumably it has more than one TLB entry as well). The difference
is much bigger with native AGP ASICs with PCI GART.
