Mode Setting Helper Functions
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
The DRM subsystem aims for a strong separation between core code and helper
|
|
libraries. Core code takes care of general setup and teardown and decoding
|
|
userspace requests to kernel internal objects. Everything else is handled by a
|
|
large set of helper libraries, which can be combined freely to pick and choose
|
|
for each driver what fits, and avoid shared code where special behaviour is
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
This distinction between core code and helpers is especially strong in the
|
|
modesetting code, where there's a shared userspace ABI for all drivers. This is
|
|
in contrast to the render side, where pretty much everything (with very few
|
|
exceptions) can be considered optional helper code.
|
|
|
|
There are a few areas these helpers can grouped into:
|
|
|
|
* Helpers to implement modesetting. The important ones here are the atomic
|
|
helpers. Old drivers still often use the legacy CRTC helpers. They both share
|
|
the same set of common helper vtables. For really simple drivers (anything
|
|
that would have been a great fit in the deprecated fbdev subsystem) there's
|
|
also the simple display pipe helpers.
|
|
|
|
* There's a big pile of helpers for handling outputs. First the generic bridge
|
|
helpers for handling encoder and transcoder IP blocks. Second the panel helpers
|
|
for handling panel-related information and logic. Plus then a big set of
|
|
helpers for the various sink standards (DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI DSI). Finally
|
|
there's also generic helpers for handling output probing, and for dealing with
|
|
EDIDs.
|
|
|
|
* The last group of helpers concerns itself with the frontend side of a display
|
|
pipeline: Planes, handling rectangles for visibility checking and scissoring,
|
|
flip queues and assorted bits.

HDMI Infoframes Helper Reference

================================

Strictly speaking this is not a DRM helper library but generally useable
|
|
by any driver interfacing with HDMI outputs like v4l or alsa drivers.
|
|
But it nicely fits into the overall topic of mode setting helper
|
|
libraries and hence is also included here.
