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/doc: Put all driver docs into a separate chapter We have quite a few driver docs now, which is great, but having them all in the top-level gpu documentation chapter makes it harder to spot the core/shared bits.

vgaarbiter: rst-ifiy and polish kerneldoc Move the documentation into Documentation/gpu, link it up and pull in the kernel doc. No actual text changes except that I did polish the kerneldoc a bit, especially for vga_client_register(). v2: Remove some rst from vga-switcheroo.rst that I don't understand, but which seems to be the reason why the new vgaarbiter.rst sometimes drops out of the sidebar index. v3: Drop one level of headings and clarify the vgaarb one a bit. v4: Fix some typos (Sean).

drm/doc: Add TODO list This commit adds a TODO list to the GPU driver developer's guide. 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.
