    drm/i915: Avoid pageflipping freeze when we miss the flip prepare interrupt

    When we miss the flip prepare interrupt, we never get into the
    software state needed to restart userspace, resulting in a freeze of a
    full-screen OpenGL application (such as a compositor).

    Work around this by checking DSPxSURF/DSPxBASE to see if the page flip
    has actually happened. If it has, do the work we would have done when
    the flip prepare interrupt comes in.

    Also, add debugfs information to tell us what's going on (based on the
    patch from Chris Wilson attached to bugs.fdo bug #29798).

Hi steubens,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
