From Bspec, Vol 2a, Section 1.9.3.4 "PIPE_CONTROL", intro section
detailing the various workarounds:

"[DevIVB {W/A}, DevHSW {W/A}]: Pipe_control with CS-stall bit
set must be issued before a pipe-control command that has the State
Cache Invalidate bit set."

Note that public Bspec has different numbering, it's Vol2Part1,
Section 1.10.4.1 "PIPE_CONTROL" there.

There's also a second workaround for the PIPE_CONTROL command itself:

"[DevIVB, DevVLV, DevHSW] {WA}: Every 4th PIPE_CONTROL command, not
counting the PIPE_CONTROL with only read-cache-invalidate bit(s) set,
must have a CS_STALL bit set"

For simplicity we simply set the CS_STALL bit on every pipe_control on
gen7+

Note that this massively helps on some hsw machines, together with the
following patch to unconditionally set the CS_STALL bit on every
pipe_control it prevents a gpu hang every few seconds.

This is a regression that has been introduced in the pipe_control
cleanup:

    drm/i915: Only apply the SNB pipe control w/a to gen6

It looks like the massive snb pipe_control workaround also papered
over any issues on ivb and hsw.

[danvet: squashed both workarounds together, pimped commit message
with Bsepc citations, regression commit citation and changed the
comment in the code a bit to clarify that we unconditionally set
CS_STALL to avoid being hurt by trying to be clever.]
