H A DKconfigb30a43ac Thu Apr 18 01:45:15 CDT 2019 Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> drm/nouveau: add kconfig option to turn off nouveau legacy contexts. (v3)

There was a nouveau DDX that relied on legacy context ioctls to work,
but we fixed it years ago, give distros that have a modern DDX the
option to break the uAPI and close the mess of holes that legacy
context support is.

drm: Turn off Legacy Context Functions

The context functions are not used by the i915 driver and should not
be used by modeset drivers. These driver functions contain several bugs
and security holes. This change makes these functions optional can be
turned on by a setting, they are turned off by default for modeset
driver with the exception of the nouvea driver that may require them with
an old version of libdrm.

The previous attempt was

v3:
