 drm/i915 Intel GFX Driver
===========================

The drm/i915 driver supports all (with the exception of some very early
models) integrated GFX chipsets with both Intel display and rendering
blocks. This excludes a set of SoC platforms with an SGX rendering unit,
those have basic support through the gma500 drm driver.

Core Driver Infrastructure
==========================

This section covers core driver infrastructure used by both the display
and the GEM parts of the driver.

Display Hardware Handling
=========================

This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
display, output probing and related topics.

Mode Setting Infrastructure
---------------------------

The i915 driver is thus far the only DRM driver which doesn't use the
common DRM helper code to implement mode setting sequences. Thus it has
its own tailor-made infrastructure for executing a display configuration
change.

Frontbuffer Tracking
--------------------

   :internal:

Plane Configuration
-------------------

This section covers plane configuration and composition with the primary
plane, sprites, cursors and overlays. This includes the infrastructure
to do atomic vsync'ed updates of all this state and also tightly coupled
topics like watermark setup and computation, framebuffer compression and
panel self refresh.

Atomic Plane Helpers

Output Probing
--------------

This section covers output probing and related infrastructure like the
hotplug interrupt storm detection and mitigation code. Note that the
i915 driver still uses most of the common DRM helper code for output
probing, so those sections fully apply.

Buffer Object Eviction
----------------------

This section documents the interface functions for evicting buffer
objects to make space available in the virtual gpu address spaces. Note
that this is mostly orthogonal to shrinking buffer objects caches, which
has the goal to make main memory (shared with the gpu through the
unified memory architecture) available.

Buffer Object Memory Shrinking
------------------------------

This section documents the interface function for shrinking memory usage
of buffer object caches. Shrinking is used to make main memory
available. Note that this is mostly orthogonal to evicting buffer
objects, which has the goal to make space in gpu virtual address spaces.
