[PATCH 5.10 012/152] drm/i915: Allow the sysadmin to override security mitigations

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 18 2021 - 13:42:17 EST


From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 984cadea032b103c5824a5f29d0a36b3e9df6333 upstream.

The clear-residuals mitigation is a relatively heavy hammer and under some
circumstances the user may wish to forgo the context isolation in order
to meet some performance requirement. Introduce a generic module
parameter to allow selectively enabling/disabling different mitigations.

To disable just the clear-residuals mitigation (on Ivybridge, Baytrail,
or Haswell) use the module parameter: i915.mitigations=auto,!residuals
