This adds modifiers for GFX9+ AMD GPUs.
As the modifiers need a lot of parameters I split things out in
getters and setters.
- Advantage: simplifies the code a lot
- Disadvantage: Makes it harder to check that you're setting all
the required fields.
The tiling modes seem to change every generation, but the structure
of what each tiling mode is good for stays really similar. As such
the core of the modifier is
- the tiling mode
- a version. Not explicitly a GPU generation, but splitting out
a new set of tiling equations.
Sometimes one or two tiling modes stay the same and for those we
specify a canonical version.
Then we have a bunch of parameters on how the compression works.
Different HW units have different requirements for these and we
actually have some conflicts here.
e.g. the render backends need a specific alignment but the display
unit only works with unaligned compression surfaces. To work around
that we have a DCC_RETILE option where both an aligned and unaligned
compression surface are allocated and a writer has to sync the
aligned surface to the unaligned surface on handoff.
Finally there are some GPU parameters that participate in the tiling
equations. These are constant for each GPU on the rendering/texturing
side. The display unit is very flexible however and supports all
of them :|
Some estimates:
- Single GPU, render+texture: ~10 modifiers
- All possible configs in a gen, display: ~1000 modifiers
- Configs of actually existing GPUs in a gen: ~100 modifiers
For formats with a single plane everything gets put in a separate
DRM plane. However, this doesn't fit for some YUV formats, so if
the format has >1 plane, we let the driver pack the surfaces into
1 DRM plane per format plane.
This way we avoid X11 rendering onto the frontbuffer with DCC, but
still fit into 4 DRM planes.

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.
