2 drm/i915 Intel GFX Driver
3===========================
4
5The drm/i915 driver supports all (with the exception of some very early
6models) integrated GFX chipsets with both Intel display and rendering
7blocks. This excludes a set of SoC platforms with an SGX rendering unit,
8those have basic support through the gma500 drm driver.

10Core Driver Infrastructure
11==========================
12
13This section covers core driver infrastructure used by both the display
14and the GEM parts of the driver.

61Display Hardware Handling
62=========================
63
64This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
65the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
66display, output probing and related topics.
67
68Mode Setting Infrastructure
69---------------------------
70
71The i915 driver is thus far the only DRM driver which doesn't use the
72common DRM helper code to implement mode setting sequences. Thus it has
73its own tailor-made infrastructure for executing a display configuration
74change.

100Plane Configuration
101-------------------
102
103This section covers plane configuration and composition with the primary
104plane, sprites, cursors and overlays. This includes the infrastructure
105to do atomic vsync'ed updates of all this state and also tightly coupled
106topics like watermark setup and computation, framebuffer compression and
107panel self refresh.

118Output Probing
119--------------
120
121This section covers output probing and related infrastructure like the
122hotplug interrupt storm detection and mitigation code. Note that the
123i915 driver still uses most of the common DRM helper code for output
124probing, so those sections fully apply.

288This section documents the interface functions for evicting buffer
289objects to make space available in the virtual gpu address spaces. Note
290that this is mostly orthogonal to shrinking buffer objects caches, which
291has the goal to make main memory (shared with the gpu through the
292unified memory architecture) available.
