This patch series adds support for Xen [1] para-virtualized frontend display driver. It implements the protocol from include/xen/interface/io/displif.h [2]. Accompanying backend [3] is implemented as a user-space application and its helper library [4], capable of running as a Weston client or DRM master. Configuration of both backend and frontend is done via Xen guest domain configuration options [5]. ******************************************************************************* * Driver limitations ******************************************************************************* 1. Configuration options 1.1 (contiguous display buffers) and 2 (backend allocated buffers) below are not supported at the same time. 2. Only primary plane without additional properties is supported. 3. Only one video mode supported which resolution is configured via XenStore. 4. All CRTCs operate at fixed frequency of 60Hz. ******************************************************************************* * Driver modes of operation in terms of display buffers used ******************************************************************************* Depending on the requirements for the para-virtualized environment, namely requirements dictated by the accompanying DRM/(v)GPU drivers running in both host and guest environments, number of operating modes of para-virtualized display driver are supported: - display buffers can be allocated by either frontend driver or backend - display buffers can be allocated to be contiguous in memory or not Note! Frontend driver itself has no dependency on contiguous memory for its operation. ******************************************************************************* * 1. Buffers allocated by the frontend driver. ******************************************************************************* The below modes of operation are configured at compile-time via frontend driver's kernel configuration. 1.1. Front driver configured to use GEM CMA helpers This use-case is useful when used with accompanying DRM/vGPU driver in guest domain which was designed to only work with contiguous buffers, e.g. DRM driver based on GEM CMA helpers: such drivers can only import contiguous PRIME buffers, thus requiring frontend driver to provide such. In order to implement this mode of operation para-virtualized frontend driver can be configured to use GEM CMA helpers. 1.2. Front driver doesn't use GEM CMA If accompanying drivers can cope with non-contiguous memory then, to lower pressure on CMA subsystem of the kernel, driver can allocate buffers from system memory. Note! If used with accompanying DRM/(v)GPU drivers this mode of operation may require IOMMU support on the platform, so accompanying DRM/vGPU hardware can still reach display buffer memory while importing PRIME buffers from the frontend driver. ******************************************************************************* * 2. Buffers allocated by the backend ******************************************************************************* This mode of operation is run-time configured via guest domain configuration through XenStore entries. For systems which do not provide IOMMU support, but having specific requirements for display buffers it is possible to allocate such buffers at backend side and share those with the frontend. For example, if host domain is 1:1 mapped and has DRM/GPU hardware expecting physically contiguous memory, this allows implementing zero-copying use-cases. I would like to thank at least, but not at last the following people/communities who helped this driver to happen ;) 1. My team at EPAM for continuous support 2. Xen community for answering tons of questions on different modes of operation of the driver with respect to virtualized environment. 3. Rob Clark for "GEM allocation for para-virtualized DRM driver" [6] 4. Maarten Lankhorst for "Atomic driver and old remove FB behavior" [7] 5. Ville Syrjälä for "Questions on page flips and atomic modeset" [8] Thank you, Oleksandr Andrushchenko P.S. There are two dependencies for this driver limiting some of the use-cases which are on review now: 1. "drm/simple_kms_helper: Add {enable|disable}_vblank callback support" [9] 2.
