config DRM_RADEON_KMS | ||
bool "Enable modesetting on radeon by default" | ||
depends on DRM_RADEON | ||
select DRM_TTM | ||
help | ||
Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default, | ||
and you have a new enough userspace to support this. Running old | ||
userspaces with this enabled will cause pain. | ||
|
||
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm | ||
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed | ||
in the log and they return failure. | ||
|
||
KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm | ||
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap | ||
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager | ||
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace | ||
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer | ||
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the | ||
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer | ||
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect | ||
the position of the different buffers. | ||
|
||
The kernel will also perform security check on command stream | ||
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use | ||
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory | ||
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part | ||
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch | ||
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current | ||
experimental userspace to run. | ||
|
||
This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX | ||
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX, | ||
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX). |
