Dave Airlie e9083420bb drm: introduce sync objects (v4)
Sync objects are new toplevel drm object, that contain a
pointer to a fence. This fence can be updated via command
submission ioctls via drivers.

There is also a generic wait obj API modelled on the vulkan
wait API (with code modelled on some amdgpu code).

These objects can be converted to an opaque fd that can be
passes between processes.

v2: rename reference/unreference to put/get (Chris)
fix leaked reference (David Zhou)
drop mutex in favour of cmpxchg (Chris)
v3: cleanups from danvet, rebase on drm_fops rename
check fd_flags is 0 in ioctls.
v4: export find/free, change replace fence to take a
syncobj. In order to support lookup first, replace
later semantics which seem in the end to be cleaner.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
