2 Mode Setting Helper Functions
3 =============================
5 The DRM subsystem aims for a strong separation between core code and helper
6 libraries. Core code takes care of general setup and teardown and decoding
7 userspace requests to kernel internal objects. Everything else is handled by a
8 large set of helper libraries, which can be combined freely to pick and choose
9 for each driver what fits, and avoid shared code where special behaviour is
12 This distinction between core code and helpers is especially strong in the
13 modesetting code, where there's a shared userspace ABI for all drivers. This is
14 in contrast to the render side, where pretty much everything (with very few
15 exceptions) can be considered optional helper code.
17 There are a few areas these helpers can grouped into:
19 * Helpers to implement modesetting. The important ones here are the atomic
20 helpers. Old drivers still often use the legacy CRTC helpers. They both share
21 the same set of common helper vtables. For really simple drivers (anything
22 that would have been a great fit in the deprecated fbdev subsystem) there's
23 also the simple display pipe helpers.
25 * There's a big pile of helpers for handling outputs. First the generic bridge
26 helpers for handling encoder and transcoder IP blocks. Second the panel helpers
27 for handling panel-related information and logic. Plus then a big set of
28 helpers for the various sink standards (DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI DSI). Finally
29 there's also generic helpers for handling output probing, and for dealing with
32 * The last group of helpers concerns itself with the frontend side of a display
33 pipeline: Planes, handling rectangles for visibility checking and scissoring,
34 flip queues and assorted bits.
