Chris Wilson 6576364f64 drm/i915/execlists: Force write serialisation into context image vs execution
commit 0a823e8fd4fd67726697854578f3584ee3a49b1d upstream.

Ensure that the writes into the context image are completed prior to the
register mmio to trigger execution. Although previously we were assured
by the SDM that all writes are flushed before an uncached memory
transaction (our mmio write to submit the context to HW for execution),
we have empirical evidence to believe that this is not actually the
case.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
