2017-08-23drm/doc: Document ioctl errno value patternsDaniel Vetter1-0/+55
We're not super-consistent about these, but I think it's worth to document at least the commmon patterns. v2: - Add a not about ENOTTY (it's just a confusing name, but used exactly what it's meant for in DRM) (Chris). - Unconfuse the text for ENODEV (Daniel) - Move text undert the IOCTL heading (Chris). - typos Cc: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: "Zhang, Tina" <tina.zhang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170818174328.6386-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch
2017-06-20drm/doc: Improve ioctl/fops docs a bit moreDaniel Vetter1-0/+2
I spotted a markup issue, plus adding the descriptions in drm_driver. Plus a few more links while at it. I'm still mildly unhappy with the split between fops and ioctls, but I still think having the ioctls in the uapi chapter makes more sense. Oh well ... v2: Rebase. v3: Move misplace hunk to the right patch.

2017-04-04drm: document drm_ioctl.[hc]Daniel Vetter1-0/+14
Also unify/merge with the existing stuff. I was a bit torn where to put this, but in the end I decided to put all the ioctl/sysfs/debugfs stuff into drm-uapi.rst. That means we have a bit a split with the other uapi related stuff used internally, like drm_file.[hc], but I think overall this makes more sense. If it's too confusing we can always add more cross-links to make it more discoverable. But the auto-sprinkling of links kernel-doc already does seems sufficient. Also for prettier docs and more cross-links, switch the internal defines over to an enum, as usual. v2: Update kerneldoc fro drm_compat_ioctl too (caught by 0day), plus a bit more drive-by polish. v3: Fix typo, spotted by xerpi on irc (Sergi). v4: Add missing space in comment (Neil).

2017-03-14drm/doc: Document drm_file.[hc]Daniel Vetter1-0/+4
Well, mostly drm_file.h, and clean up all related things: - I didnt' figure out the difference between preclose and postclose. The existing explanation in drm-internals.rst didn't convince me, since it's also really outdated - we clean up pending DRM events in the core nowadays. I put a FIXME in for the future. - Another FIXME is to have a macro for default fops. - Lots of links all around, main areas are to tie the overview in drm_file.c more into the callbacks in struct drm_device, and the other is to link render/primary node code to the right sections in drm-uapi.rst. - Also moved the open/close stuff to drm_drv.h from drm-internals.rst, seems like the better place for that information. Since that section was rather outdated this amounted to full-on rewrite. A big missing piece here is some overview graph, but I think better to wait with that one until drm_device and drm_driver are also fully documented. v2: Nits from Sean.

2016-10-17drm: Add API for capturing frame CRCsTomeu Vizoso1-0/+6
Adds files and directories to debugfs for controlling and reading frame CRCs, per CRTC: dri/0/crtc-0/crc dri/0/crtc-0/crc/control dri/0/crtc-0/crc/data Drivers can implement the set_crc_source callback() in drm_crtc_funcs to start and stop generating frame CRCs and can add entries to the output by calling drm_crtc_add_crc_entry. v2: - Lots of good fixes suggested by Thierry. - Added documentation. - Changed the debugfs layout. - Moved to allocate the entries circular queue once when frame generation gets enabled for the first time. v3: - Use the control file just to select the source, and start and stop capture when the data file is opened and closed, respectively. - Make variable the number of CRC values per entry, per source. - Allocate entries queue each time we start capturing as now there isn't a fixed number of CRC values per entry. - Store the frame counter in the data file as a 8-digit hex number. - For sources that cannot provide useful frame numbers, place XXXXXXXX in the frame field. v4: - Build only if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled. - Use memdup_user_nul. - Consolidate calculation of the size of an entry in a helper. - Add 0x prefix to hex numbers in the data file. - Remove unnecessary snprintf and strlen usage in read callback. v5: - Made the crcs array in drm_crtc_crc_entry fixed-size - Lots of other smaller improvements suggested by Emil Velikov v7: - Move definition of drm_debugfs_crtc_crc_add to drm_internal.h v8: - Call debugfs_remove_recursive when we fail to create the minor device v9: - Register the debugfs directory for a crtc from drm_crtc_register_all() v10: - Don't let debugfs failures interrupt CRTC registration (Emil Velikov) v11: - Remove extra brace that broke compilation.

2016-08-24drm/doc: Document uapi requirements in DRMDaniel Vetter1-0/+67
Everyone knows them, except all the new folks joining from the ARM side haven't lived through all the pain of the past years and are entirely surprised when I raise this. Definitely time to document this. Last time this was a big discussion was about 6 years ago, when qcom tried to land a kernel driver without userspace. Dave Airlie made the rules really clear: http://airlied.livejournal.com/73115.html This write-up here is essentially what I've put into a presentation a while ago, which was also reviewed by Dave: http://blog.ffwll.ch/2015/05/gfx-kernel-upstreaming-requirements.html v2: Fix typos Eric&Rob spotted. v3: Nitpick from Jani.

2016-06-21drm: Lobotomize set_busid nonsense for !pci driversDaniel Vetter1-0/+6
We already have a fallback in place to fill out the unique from dev->unique, which is set to something reasonable in drm_dev_alloc. Which means we only need to have a special set_busid for pci devices, to be able to care the backwards compat code for drm 1.1 around, which libdrm still needs. While developing and testing this patch things blew up in really interesting ways, and the code is rather confusing in naming things between the kernel code, ioctl #defines and libdrm. For the next brave dragon slayer, document all this madness properly in the userspace interface section of gpu.tmpl. v2: Make drm_dev_set_unique static and update kerneldoc. v3: Entire rewrite, plus document what's going on for posterity in the gpu docbook uapi section. v4: Drop accidental amdgpu hunk (Emil). v5: Drop accidental omapdrm vblank counter change (Emil). v6: Rebase on top of the sphinx conversion.

2016-06-21Documentation/gpu: use recommended order of heading markersJani Nikula1-2/+3
While splitting the document up, the headings "shifted" from what pandoc generated. Use the following order for headings for consistency: ============== Document title ============== First ===== Second ------ Third ~~~~~ Leave the lower level headings as they are; I think those are less important. Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be the order as encountered."), having the higher levels the same overall makes it easier to follow the documents. [I'm sort of kind of writing the recommendation for docs-next in the mean time, but this order seems sensible, and is what I'm proposing.] Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/126f42734defac6cbb8496a481d58db7b38461dd.1466506505.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
