+drm/amd/amdkfd - Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD)
+===========================================
+
+KFD is the non-graphics component of AMDGPU. It allows users to run
+their own programs (called compute shaders) on
+AMD GPUs, including discrete GPUs, integrated GPUs, and APUs.

+Interrupts and Signals
+======================
+
+Signals
+-------
+
+Signals are locations in memory used for communication between CPUs
+and GPUs. Uses of signals include indicating that a kernel has completed
+and indicating that more scratch memory is rqeuired.
+
+CPUs and GPUs can poll signals to await their signalling. Processes can also
+set up an event, which will trigger a CPU interrupt when a signal arrives.

+=============================
+Memory Allocation and Mapping
+=============================
+
+AMD GPUs contain their own page tables used by the GPU's processors; memory must
+be mapped on these page tables before the GPU can access it. The GPUs also
+contain VRAM memory of their own, which can be allocated. By mapping memory on
+both the CPU and GPU, processes can load data onto or off of the GPU.

+===============
+Usermode Queues
+===============
+
+Queues (HSA queues and DMA queues) are the means by which users may submit
+programs to be run on the GPU. Once a queue is set up, users can submit commands
+to the hardware through it with no driver involvement. This is different from
+the way that graphics shaders are loaded, which involves an ioctl each time.
