Chris Wilson 430ffaf46c drm/i915: Suppress switch_mm emission between the same aliasing_ppgtt 
When switching between contexts using the aliasing_ppgtt, the VM is
shared. We don't need to reload the PD registers unless they are dirty.

Martin Peres reported an issue that looks like corruption between
Haswell context switches, bisecting to commit f9326be5f1 ("drm/i915:
Rearrange switch_context to load the aliasing ppgtt on first use").
Switching between the same mm (the aliasing_ppgtt is used for all
contexts in this case) should be a nop, but appears to trigger some
side-effects in the context switch. However, as we know the switch
is redundant in this case, we can skip it and continue to ignore the
issue until somebody feels strong enough to investigate full-ppgtt on
gen7 again!

Except.. Martin was using full-ppgtt which is not supported as it
doesn't work correctly yet. So whilst the bisect did yield valuable
information about the failures, the fix should not have any user impact
under default settings, with the exception of a slightly lower
throughput on xcs as the VM would always be reloaded.

v2: Also remember to set the legacy_active_context following the switch
on xcs (commit e8a9c58fcd ("drm/i915: Unify active context tracking
between legacy/execlists/guc"))

README 

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.
