    drm/i915/bdw: Avoid non-lite-restore preemptions

execlists has listened to (ACTIVE_IDLE | ELEMENT_SWITCH) for detecting
when one context completed and it either continued onto the next (in port
1) or idled. We would always see COMPLETE | ACTIVE_IDLE on the final
context-switch event, but on recent gen it appears that we now get
separate ACTIVE_IDLE and COMPLETE events. In particular, the ACTIVE_IDLE
events may not be coupled to a context (since it is a general state rather
than a specific context completion event).

v2: Update the history, execlists did originally start out by listening
to the COMPLETE event not ACTIVE_IDLE.
v3: Update preempt completion test to also use COMPLETE not ACTIVE_IDLE.

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.
