Docs/subsystem-apis: Remove '[The ]Linux' prefixes from titles of listed documents Some documents that listed on subsystem-apis have 'Linux' or 'The Linux' title prefixes. It's duplicated information, and makes finding the document of interest with human eyes not easy. Remove the prefixes from the titles.

Documentation/gpu: add new gpu.rst converted from DocBook gpu.tmpl This is the first step towards converting the DocBook gpu.tmpl to Sphinx and reStructuredText, the new kernel documentation tool and markup. Use Jon's "cheesy conversion script" in Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt to do the rough conversion. Do the manual edits in follow-up patches. Add a new Documentation/gpu directories for the graphics related documentation. (Hooray, now we can have directories based on topics rather than tools under Documentation.) We also won't remove the DocBook gpu.tmpl yet so it's easier to build both and compare the results for parity.

drm-uapi
drm: Document fdinfo format specification Proposal to standardise the fdinfo text format as optionally output by DRM drivers. Idea is that a simple but, well defined, spec will enable generic userspace tools to be written while at the same time avoiding a more heavy handed approach of adding a mid-layer to DRM. i915 implements a subset of the spec, everything apart from the memory stats currently, and a matching intel_gpu_top tool exists. Open is to see if AMD can migrate to using the proposed GPU utilisation key-value pairs, or if they are not workable to see whether to go vendor specific, or if a standardised alternative can be found which is workable for both drivers. Same for the memory utilisation key-value pairs proposal. v2: * Update for removal of name and pid. v3: * 'Drm-driver' tag will be obtained from struct drm_driver.name. (Daniel) v4: * Added drm-engine-capacity- tag.

driver-uapi
drm: Begin an API for in-kernel clients This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients. First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer. Only GEM drivers are supported. The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably will when we have a bootsplash client.

drm: Add initial ci/ subdirectory Developers can easily execute several tests on different devices by just pushing their branch to their fork in a repository hosted on gitlab.freedesktop.org which has an infrastructure to run jobs in several runners and farms with different devices. There are also other automated tools that uprev dependencies, monitor the infra, and so on that are already used by the Mesa project, and we can reuse them too. Also, store expectations about what the DRM drivers are supposed to pass in the IGT test suite. By storing the test expectations along with the code, we can make sure both stay in sync with each other so we can know when a code change breaks those expectations. Also, include a configuration file that points to the out-of-tree CI scripts. This will allow all contributors to drm to reuse the infrastructure already in gitlab.freedesktop.org to test the driver on several generations of the hardware.

The content was taken from the DRMJanitors page on the X.Org wiki: https://www.x.org/wiki/DRMJanitors/ The goal is to track a list of refactorings that would be nice to see merged eventually. Sometimes these would be encountered during patch review on the mailing list, and at other times one can come across these while working in a specific area of code.
