54DC Color Capabilities between DCN generations
55---------------------------------------------
56
57DRM/KMS framework defines three CRTC color correction properties: degamma,
58color transformation matrix (CTM) and gamma, and two properties for degamma and
59gamma LUT sizes. AMD DC programs some of the color correction features
60pre-blending but DRM/KMS has not per-plane color correction properties.
61
62In general, the DRM CRTC color properties are programmed to DC, as follows:
63CRTC gamma after blending, and CRTC degamma pre-blending. Although CTM is
64programmed after blending, it is mapped to DPP hw blocks (pre-blending). Other
65color caps available in the hw is not currently exposed by DRM interface and
66are bypassed.

74The color pipeline has undergone major changes between DCN hardware
75generations. What's possible to do before and after blending depends on
76hardware capabilities, as illustrated below by the DCN 2.0 and DCN 3.0 families
77schemas.

87Blend Mode Properties
88=====================
89
90Pixel blend mode is a DRM plane composition property of :c:type:`drm_plane` used to
91describes how pixels from a foreground plane (fg) are composited with the
92background plane (bg). Here, we present main concepts of DRM blend mode to help
93to understand how this property is mapped to AMD DC interface. See more about
94this DRM property and the alpha blending equations in :ref:`DRM Plane
95Composition Properties <plane_composition_properties>`.
96
97Basically, a blend mode sets the alpha blending equation for plane
98composition that fits the mode in which the alpha channel affects the state of
99pixel color values and, therefore, the resulted pixel color. For
100example, consider the following elements of the alpha blending equation:
101
102- *fg.rgb*: Each of the RGB component values from the foreground's pixel.
103- *fg.alpha*: Alpha component value from the foreground's pixel.
104- *bg.rgb*: Each of the RGB component values from the background.
105- *plane_alpha*: Plane alpha value set by the **plane "alpha" property**, see
106  more in :ref:`DRM Plane Composition Properties <plane_composition_properties>`.
107
108in the basic alpha blending equation::
109
110   out.rgb = alpha * fg.rgb + (1 - alpha) * bg.rgb
111
112the alpha channel value of each pixel in a plane is ignored and only the plane
113alpha affects the resulted pixel color values.
114
115DRM has three blend mode to define the blend formula in the plane composition:
116
117* **None**: Blend formula that ignores the pixel alpha.
118
119* **Pre-multiplied**: Blend formula that assumes the pixel color values in a
120  plane was already pre-multiplied by its own alpha channel before storage.
121
122* **Coverage**: Blend formula that assumes the pixel color values were not
123  pre-multiplied with the alpha channel values.
124
125and pre-multiplied is the default pixel blend mode, that means, when no blend
126mode property is created or defined, DRM considers the plane's pixels has
127pre-multiplied color values. On IGT GPU tools, the kms_plane_alpha_blend test
128provides a set of subtests to verify plane alpha and blend mode properties.
129
130The DRM blend mode and its elements are then mapped by AMDGPU display manager
131(DM) to program the blending configuration of the Multiple Pipe/Plane Combined
132(MPC), as follows:
133
134.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/inc/hw/mpc.h
135   :identifiers: mpcc_blnd_cfg
136
137Therefore, the blending configuration for a single MPCC instance on the MPC
138tree is defined by :c:type:`mpcc_blnd_cfg`, where
139:c:type:`pre_multiplied_alpha` is the alpha pre-multiplied mode flag used to
140set :c:type:`MPCC_ALPHA_MULTIPLIED_MODE`. It controls whether alpha is
141multiplied (true/false), being only true for DRM pre-multiplied blend mode.
142:c:type:`mpcc_alpha_blend_mode` defines the alpha blend mode regarding pixel
143alpha and plane alpha values. It sets one of the three modes for
144:c:type:`MPCC_ALPHA_BLND_MODE`, as described below.
145
146.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/inc/hw/mpc.h
147   :identifiers: mpcc_alpha_blend_mode
148
149DM then maps the elements of `enum mpcc_alpha_blend_mode` to those in the DRM
150blend formula, as follows:
151
152* *MPC pixel alpha* matches *DRM fg.alpha* as the alpha component value
153  from the plane's pixel
154* *MPC global alpha* matches *DRM plane_alpha* when the pixel alpha should
155  be ignored and, therefore, pixel values are not pre-multiplied
156* *MPC global gain* assumes *MPC global alpha* value when both *DRM
157  fg.alpha* and *DRM plane_alpha* participate in the blend equation
158
159In short, *fg.alpha* is ignored by selecting
160:c:type:`MPCC_ALPHA_BLEND_MODE_GLOBAL_ALPHA`. On the other hand, (plane_alpha *
161fg.alpha) component becomes available by selecting
162:c:type:`MPCC_ALPHA_BLEND_MODE_PER_PIXEL_ALPHA_COMBINED_GLOBAL_GAIN`. And the
163:c:type:`MPCC_ALPHA_MULTIPLIED_MODE` defines if the pixel color values are
164pre-multiplied by alpha or not.
165
166Blend configuration flow
167------------------------
168
169The alpha blending equation is configured from DRM to DC interface by the
170following path:
171
1721. When updating a :c:type:`drm_plane_state <drm_plane_state>`, DM calls
173   :c:type:`amdgpu_dm_plane_fill_blending_from_plane_state()` that maps
174   :c:type:`drm_plane_state <drm_plane_state>` attributes to
175   :c:type:`dc_plane_info <dc_plane_info>` struct to be handled in the
176   OS-agnostic component (DC).
177
1782. On DC interface, :c:type:`struct mpcc_blnd_cfg <mpcc_blnd_cfg>` programs the
179   MPCC blend configuration considering the :c:type:`dc_plane_info
180   <dc_plane_info>` input from DPP.
