Kernel DRM driver for ARM Mali 400/450 GPUs.
This implementation mainly take amdgpu DRM driver as reference.
- Mali 4xx GPUs have two kinds of processors GP and PP. GP is for
OpenGL vertex shader processing and PP is for fragment shader
processing. Each processor has its own MMU so prcessors work in
virtual address space.
- There's only one GP but multiple PP (max 4 for mali 400 and 8
for mali 450) in the same mali 4xx GPU. All PPs are grouped
togather to handle a single fragment shader task divided by
FB output tiled pixels. Mali 400 user space driver is
responsible for assign target tiled pixels to each PP, but mali
450 has a HW module called DLBU to dynamically balance each
PP's load.
- User space driver allocate buffer object and map into GPU
virtual address space, upload command stream and draw data with
CPU mmap of the buffer object, then submit task to GP/PP with
a register frame indicating where is the command stream and misc
settings.
- There's no command stream validation/relocation due to each user
process has its own GPU virtual address space. GP/PP's MMU switch
virtual address space before running two tasks from different
user process. Error or evil user space code just get MMU fault
or GP/PP error IRQ, then the HW/SW will be recovered.
- Use TTM as MM. TTM_PL_TT type memory is used as the content of
lima buffer object which is allocated from TTM page pool. all
lima buffer object gets pinned with TTM_PL_FLAG_NO_EVICT when
allocation, so there's no buffer eviction and swap for now. We
need reverse engineering to see if and how GP/PP support MMU
fault recovery (continue execution). Otherwise we have to
pin/unpin each envolved buffer when task creation/deletion.
Well pinning all memory is usually a no-go for upstreaming. But since you
are already using the drm_sched for GPU task scheduling why are you actually
needing this?
The scheduler should take care of signaling all fences when the hardware is
done with it's magic and that is enough for TTM to note that a buffer object
is movable again (e.g. unpin them).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, you are wrong :)
One way to implement eviction/swap is like this:
call validation on each buffers involved in a task, but this won't
prevent it from
eviction/swap when executing, so a GPU MMU fault may happen and in the
handler we need to recover the buffer evicted/swapped.
Another way is pin/unpin buffers evolved when task create/free.
First way is better when memory load is low and second way is better when
memory load is high. First way also need less memory.
So I'd prefer first way but due to the GPU MMU fault
HW op need reverse engineering, I have to pin all buffers now. After
the HW op is clear, I can choose one way to implement.
The general approach is:
1.) Lock all BOs
2.) Validate all BOs
3.) Add the fence
4.) Unlock the BOs
BOs can't be evicted while they are locked and since you already add the
fence that should be perfectly sufficient to prevent it from being
evicted until your operation is completed.
Using the MMU is certainly be better in general, but usually only
optional and a pain in the ass to get working. We have that in amdgpu
for quite a while as well now and still don't use it because of that.

- Use drm_sched for GPU task schedule. Each OpenGL context should
have a lima context object in the kernel to distinguish tasks
from different user. drm_sched gets task from each lima context
in a fair way.
Not implemented:
- Dump buffer support
- Power management
- Performance counter
This patch serial just pack a pair of .c/.h files in each patch.

Mesa driver is still in development and not ready for daily usage,
but can run some simple tests like kmscube and glamrk2, see:
