From 9cc63f8bcd560c760d0b12e15bba8f81c86237cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:43:51 -0700 Subject: Merge branches 'expcb.2026.07.24a', 'misc.2026.07.30a', 'rcu-tasks.2026.07.30a', 'srcu.2026.08.11a' and 'torture.2026.08.14a' into HEAD Changes: Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks Miscellaneous fixes: * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj(). * Documentation updates. * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states. * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields. * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space. Tasks RCU updates: * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output. * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Documentation updates. * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline function. SRCU updates: * Add Rust helpers for SRCU. * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time. Torture-test updates: * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting. * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq). * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap(). * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing, and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier. * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period. * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure. --- Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst | 108 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 108 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst (limited to 'Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst') diff --git a/Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst b/Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5e5e92e40 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/gpu/vc4.rst @@ -0,0 +1,108 @@ +===================================== + drm/vc4 Broadcom VC4 Graphics Driver +===================================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_drv.c + :doc: Broadcom VC4 Graphics 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. + +Pixel Valve (DRM CRTC) +---------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_crtc.c + :doc: VC4 CRTC module + +HVS +--- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hvs.c + :doc: VC4 HVS module. + +HVS planes +---------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_plane.c + :doc: VC4 plane module + +HDMI encoder +------------ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hdmi.c + :doc: VC4 Falcon HDMI module + +DSI encoder +----------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_dsi.c + :doc: VC4 DSI0/DSI1 module + +DPI encoder +----------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_dpi.c + :doc: VC4 DPI module + +VEC (Composite TV out) encoder +------------------------------ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_vec.c + :doc: VC4 SDTV module + +KUnit Tests +=========== + +The VC4 Driver uses KUnit to perform driver-specific unit and +integration tests. + +These tests are using a mock driver and can be ran using the +command below, on either arm or arm64 architectures, + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \ + --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/tests/.kunitconfig \ + --cross_compile aarch64-linux-gnu- --arch arm64 + +Parts of the driver that are currently covered by tests are: + * The HVS to PixelValve dynamic FIFO assignment, for the BCM2835-7 + and BCM2711. + +Memory Management and 3D Command Submission +=========================================== + +This section covers the GEM implementation in the vc4 driver. + +GPU buffer object (BO) management +--------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_bo.c + :doc: VC4 GEM BO management support + +V3D binner command list (BCL) validation +---------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_validate.c + :doc: Command list validator for VC4. + +V3D render command list (RCL) generation +---------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_render_cl.c + :doc: Render command list generation + +Shader validator for VC4 +--------------------------- +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_validate_shaders.c + :doc: Shader validator for VC4. + +V3D Interrupts +-------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_irq.c + :doc: Interrupt management for the V3D engine -- cgit v1.3.1
