Generic framebuffer emulation uses a shadow buffer for framebuffers with dirty() function. If drivers want to use the shadow FB without such a function, they can now set prefer_shadow or prefer_shadow_fbdev in their mode_config structures. The former flag is exported to userspace, the latter flag is fbdev-only. v3: * only schedule dirty worker if fbdev uses shadow fb * test shadow fb settings with boolean operators * use bool for struct drm_mode_config.prefer_shadow_fbdev * fix documentation comments Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Tested-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/315834/ Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
