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.

This commit provides the implementation for the new uapi motivated by the Vulkan API. It allows user mode drivers (UMDs) to: 1) Initialize a GPU virtual address (VA) space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_INIT ioctl for UMDs to specify the portion of VA space managed by the kernel and userspace, respectively. 2) Allocate and free a VA space region as well as bind and unbind memory to the GPUs VA space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND ioctl. UMDs can request the named operations to be processed either synchronously or asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobjs (incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. The management of the GPU VA mappings is implemented with the DRM GPU VA manager. 3) Execute push buffers with the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC ioctl. The execution happens asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobj (incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. DRM GEM object locking is handled with drm_exec. Both, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND and DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC, use the DRM GPU scheduler for the asynchronous paths. Reviewed-by:Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
