Hi Rodrigo,
That will really be helpful!
I know drawing the line is a difficult problem (and can even make things
harder when searching), but maybe it would make sense to keep generic
acronyms not specific to amdgpu in a separate list. I bet a number of
them would be useful in the scope of other drm drivers (e.g. CRTC, DCC,
MST), and some are not restricted to the drm subsystem at all (e.g. FEC,
LUT), but still have value as not necessarily easy to look up.
Maybe "DC glossary" should just be "Glossary", since quite some entries
help to read adm/amdgpu/ too. Which brings me to the result of my recent
searches as suggested entries:
KIQ (Kernel Interface Queue), MQD (memory queue descriptor), HQD (hardware
queue descriptor), EOP (still no clue :)
End Of Pipe/Pipeline :)
This means that calculations are done, all caches are flushed and all
memory is coherent again.
Usually related to an interrupt send or fence value written.
Christian.
Maybe some more specific ones just to be spelled out in clear where they
are used ? KCQ (compute queue?), KGQ (gfx queue?)
More suggestions inlined.
Best regards,
