Intended for upstream testing so that we can still exercise the LMEM plumbing and !i915_ggtt_has_aperture paths. Smoke tested on Skull Canyon device. This works by allocating an intel_memory_region for a reserved portion of system memory, which we treat like LMEM. For the LMEMBAR we steal the aperture and 1:1 it map to the stolen region. To enable simply set the i915 modparam fake_lmem_start= on the kernel cmdline with the start of reserved region(see memmap=). The size of the region we can use is determined by the size of the mappable aperture, so the size of reserved region should be >= mappable_end. For now we only enable for the selftests. Depends on CONFIG_DRM_I915_UNSTABLE being enabled. eg. memmap=2G$16G i915.fake_lmem_start=0x400000000 v2: make fake_lmem_start an i915 modparam Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Abdiel Janulgue <abdiel.janulgue@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arkadiusz Hiler <arkadiusz.hiler@intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20191030173320.8850-1-matthew.auld@intel.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.
