2018-07-10drm: Begin an API for in-kernel clientsNoralf Trønnes1-0/+1
This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients. First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer. Only GEM drivers are supported. The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably will when we have a bootsplash client.

2018-03-19drm/doc: Put all driver docs into a separate chapterDaniel Vetter1-8/+1
We have quite a few driver docs now, which is great, but having them all in the top-level gpu documentation chapter makes it harder to spot the core/shared bits. Stuff them into a separate chapter and ecourage people to add even more!

2017-08-23drm/tve200: Add new driver for TVE200Linus Walleij1-0/+1
This adds a new DRM driver for the Faraday Technology TVE200 block. This "TV Encoder" encodes a ITU-T BT.656 stream and can be found in the StorLink SL3516 (later Cortina Systems CS3516) as well as the Grain Media GM8180. I do not have definitive word from anyone at Faraday that this IP block is theirs, but it bears the hallmark of their 3-digit version code (200) and is used in two SoCs from completely different companies. (Grain Media was fully owned by Faraday until it was transferred to NovoTek this january, and Faraday did lots of work on the StorLink SoCs.) The D-Link DIR-685 uses this in connection with the Ilitek ILI9322 panel driver that supports BT.656 input, while the GM8180 apparently has been used with the Cirrus Logic CS4954 digital video encoder. The oldest user seems to be something called Techwall 2835. This driver is heavily inspired by Eric Anholt's PL111 driver and therefore I have mentioned all the ancestor authors in the header file.

2017-05-08drm/pl111: Initial drm/kms driver for pl111Tom Cooksey1-0/+1
This is a modesetting driver for the pl111 CLCD display controller found on various ARM platforms such as the Versatile Express. The driver has only been tested on the bcm911360_entphn platform so far, with PRIME-based buffer sharing between vc4 and clcd. It reuses the existing devicetree binding, while not using quite as many of its properties as the fbdev driver does (those are left for future work). v2: Nearly complete rewrite by anholt, cutting 2/3 of the code thanks to DRM core's excellent new helpers. v3: Don't match pl110 any more, don't attach if we don't have a DRM panel, use DRM_GEM_CMA_FOPS, update MAINTAINERS, use the simple display helper, use drm_gem_cma_dumb_create (same as our wrapper). v4: Change the driver's .name to not clash with fbdev in sysfs, drop platform alias, drop redundant "drm" in DRM driver name, hook up .prepare_fb to the CMA helper so that DMA fences should work. v5: Move register definitions inside the driver directory, fix build in COMPILE_TEST and !AMBA mode. v6: Drop TIM2_CLKSEL for now to be consistent with existing DT bindings, switch back to external register definitions.

This commit adds a TODO list to the GPU driver developer's guide. The content was taken from the DRMJanitors page on the X.Org wiki: https://www.x.org/wiki/DRMJanitors/ The goal is to track a list of refactorings that would be nice to see merged eventually. Sometimes these would be encountered during patch review on the mailing list, and at other times one can come across these while working in a specific area of code.

2016-06-21Documentation/gpu: add new gpu.rst converted from DocBook gpu.tmplJani Nikula1-0/+2601
This is the first step towards converting the DocBook gpu.tmpl to Sphinx and reStructuredText, the new kernel documentation tool and markup. Use Jon's "cheesy conversion script" in Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt to do the rough conversion. Do the manual edits in follow-up patches. Add a new Documentation/gpu directories for the graphics related documentation. (Hooray, now we can have directories based on topics rather than tools under Documentation.) We also won't remove the DocBook gpu.tmpl yet so it's easier to build both and compare the results for parity.
