The LUTs are single buffered so in order to program them without
tearing we'd have to do it during vblank (actually to be 100%
effective it has to happen between start of vblank and frame start).
We have no proper mechanism for that at the moment so we just
defer loading them after the vblank waits have happened. That
is not quite sufficient (especially when committing multiple pipes
whose vblanks don't line up) so the LUT load will often leak into
the following frame causing tearing.
However in case the hardware wasn't previously using the LUT we
can preload it before setting the enable bit (which is double
buffered so won't tear). Let's determine if we can do such
preloading and make it happen. Slight variation between the
hardware requires some platforms specifics in the checks.
Hans is seeing ugly colored flash on VLV/CHV macchines (GPD win
and Asus T100HA) when the gamma LUT gets loaded for the first
time as the BIOS has left some junk in the LUT memory.

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.
