To enable later verification of GT workaround state at various stages of driver lifetime, we record the list of applicable ones per platforms to a list, from which they are also applied. The added data structure is a simple array of register, mask and value items, which is allocated on demand as workarounds are added to the list. This is a temporary implementation which later in the series gets fused with the existing per context workaround list handling. It is separated at this stage since the following patch fixes a bug which needs to be as easy to backport as possible. Also, since in the following patch we will be adding a new class of workarounds (per engine) which can be applied from interrupt context, we straight away make the provision for safe read-modify-write cycle. v2: * Change dev_priv to i915 along the init path. (Chris Wilson) * API rename. (Chris Wilson) v3: * Remove explicit list size tracking in favour of growing the allocation in power of two chunks. (Chris Wilson) v4: Chris Wilson: * Change wa_list_finish to early return. * Copy workarounds using the compiler for static checking. * Do not bother zeroing unused entries. * Re-order struct i915_wa_list. v5: * kmalloc_array. * Whitespace cleanup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
