gud has a module parameter that controls whether framebuffer flushing happens synchronously during the commit or asynchronously in a worker. GNOME before version 3.38 handled all displays in the same rendering loop. This lead to gud slowing down the refresh rate for a faster monitor. This has now been fixed so lets change the default. The plan is to remove async flushing in the future. The code is now structured in a way that makes it easy to do this.

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.
