[PATCH 1/2] dma-fence: allow signaling drivers to set fence timestamp

[Veera Sundaram Sankaran]

Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise timestamp of
certain events based on which the fences are triggered. This allows it
to set accurate timestamp factoring out any software and IRQ latencies.
Move the timestamp parameter out of union in dma_fence struct to allow
signaling drivers to set it. If the parameter is not set, ktime_get is
used to set the current time to fence timestamp during dma_fence_signal.

[PATCH 2/2] drm/drm_vblank: set the dma-fence timestamp during send_vblank_event

[Veera Sundaram Sankaran]

The explicit out-fences in crtc are signaled as part of vblank event,
indicating all framebuffers present on the Atomic Commit request are
scanned out on the screen. Though the fence signal and the vblank event
notification happens at the same time, triggered by the same hardware
vsync event, the timestamp set in both are different. With drivers
supporting precise vblank timestamp the difference between the two
timestamps would be even higher. This might have an impact on use-mode
frameworks using these fence timestamps for purposes other than simple
buffer usage. For instance, the Android framework uses the retire-fences
as an alternative to vblank when frame-updates are in progress Set the
fence timestamp during send vblank event to avoid discrepancies.
