commit b30a43ac7132cdda833ac4b13dd1ebd35ace14b7 upstream. 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. Full context of the story: commit0e975980d4Author: Peter Antoine <peter.antoine@intel.com> Date: Tue Jun 23 08:18:49 2015 +0100 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 commit7c510133d9Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Thu Aug 8 15:41:21 2013 +0200 drm: mark context support as a legacy subsystem but this had to be reverted commitc21eb21cb5Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Fri Sep 20 08:32:59 2013 +1000 Revert "drm: mark context support as a legacy subsystem" v2: remove returns from void function, and formatting (Daniel Vetter) v3: - s/Nova/nouveau/ in the commit message, and add references to the previous attempts - drop the part touching the drm hw lock, that should be a separate patch.

There was a version of the nouveau DDX that relied on legacy

ctx ioctls not erroring out. But that was back in time a long

ways, so offer a way to disable it now. For uapi compat with

old nouveau ddx this should be on by default, but modern distros

should consider turning it off.
