Since there's a lot of confusion around this, document both the rules
and the best practices around negotiating, allocating, importing, and
using buffers when crossing context/process/device/subsystem boundaries.
This ties up all of dma-buf, formats and modifiers, and their usage.

The documentation for render nodes indicates that only "PRIME-related"
ioctls are valid on render nodes, but the documentation does not clarify
what that means. If the reader is not familiar with PRIME, they may
beleive this to be only the ioctls with "PRIME" in the name and not other
ioctls such as set of syncobj ioctls. Clarify the situation for the
reader by referencing where the reader will find a current list of valid
ioctls.

We make the following changes to the documentation of drm leases to
make it easier to reason about their usage. In particular, we clarify
the lifetime and locking rules of lease fields in drm_master:
1. Make it clear that &drm_device.mode_config.idr_mutex protects the
lease idr and list structures for drm_master. The lessor field itself
doesn't need to be protected as it doesn't change after it's set in
drm_lease_create.
2. Add descriptions for the lifetime of lessors and leases.
3. Add an overview DOC: section in drm-uapi.rst that defines the
terminology for drm leasing, and explains how leases work and why
they're used.

Add a description on VKMS module and the cases in which it should be used.
There's a brief explanation on how to set it and use it in a VM, along with
an example of running an igt-test.
Changes since V3:
Rodrigo:
- Change the log message to imperative
- Fix some bad spelling/writing
- Add a blank line before enumeration
Changes since V2:
Andre:
- Avoid repetition of words in the same sentence;
- Make the explanation on 'setting the kernel' shorter, eliminate the
'make menuconfig' command;
- Add tab on enumeration to have one line per item;
- Clarify from each machine igt-tests commands should be ran on.

drm/doc: Document expectation that userspace review looks at kernel uAPI.
there's been concerns raised that we expect userspace people to do
in-depth kernel patch review. That's not reasonable, same way kernel
people can't review all the userspace we have. Try to clarify
expectations a bit more.

can actually live with the uAPI being provided, and it's hard to know
that without having actually looked into a kernel patch yourself.

Compared to the RFC[1] no changes to the patch itself, but igt moved
forward a lot:
- gitlab CI builds with: reduced configs/libraries, arm cross build
and a sysroot build (should address all the build/cross platform
concerns raised in the RFC discussions).
- tests reorganized into subdirectories so that the i915-gem tests
don't clog the main/shared tests directory anymore
- quite a few more non-intel people contributing/reviewing/committing
igt tests patches.
I think this addresses all the concerns raised in the RFC discussions,
and assuming there's enough Acks and no new issues that pop up, we can
go ahead with this.
v2:
- Use "should" (in the usual RFC sense) to make it clear that in the
end this is all up to reviewer's discretion, as usual (Jani).
- Also in the title s/mandatory/strongly suggested/ (me)
- Make it clear we're not going to block features if a testcase is not
feasible, given hw and state of igt, both having some good gaps in
what can be tested (Harry, Eric, Sean, ...).

Also unify/merge with the existing stuff.
I was a bit torn where to put this, but in the end I decided to put
all the ioctl/sysfs/debugfs stuff into drm-uapi.rst. That means we
have a bit a split with the other uapi related stuff used internally,
like drm_file.[hc], but I think overall this makes more sense.
If it's too confusing we can always add more cross-links to make it
more discoverable. But the auto-sprinkling of links kernel-doc already
does seems sufficient.
Also for prettier docs and more cross-links, switch the internal
defines over to an enum, as usual.
v2: Update kerneldoc fro drm_compat_ioctl too (caught by 0day), plus a
bit more drive-by polish.
v3: Fix typo, spotted by xerpi on irc (Sergi).

Well, mostly drm_file.h, and clean up all related things:
- I didnt' figure out the difference between preclose and postclose.
The existing explanation in drm-internals.rst didn't convince me,
since it's also really outdated - we clean up pending DRM events in
the core nowadays. I put a FIXME in for the future.
- Another FIXME is to have a macro for default fops.
- Lots of links all around, main areas are to tie the overview in
drm_file.c more into the callbacks in struct drm_device, and the
other is to link render/primary node code to the right sections in
drm-uapi.rst.
- Also moved the open/close stuff to drm_drv.h from drm-internals.rst,
seems like the better place for that information. Since that section
was rather outdated this amounted to full-on rewrite.
A big missing piece here is some overview graph, but I think better to
wait with that one until drm_device and drm_driver are also fully
documented.

Adds files and directories to debugfs for controlling and reading frame
CRCs, per CRTC:
dri/0/crtc-0/crc
dri/0/crtc-0/crc/control
dri/0/crtc-0/crc/data
Drivers can implement the set_crc_source callback() in drm_crtc_funcs to
start and stop generating frame CRCs and can add entries to the output
by calling drm_crtc_add_crc_entry.
v2:
- Lots of good fixes suggested by Thierry.
- Added documentation.
- Changed the debugfs layout.
- Moved to allocate the entries circular queue once when frame
generation gets enabled for the first time.
v3:
- Use the control file just to select the source, and start and stop
capture when the data file is opened and closed, respectively.
- Make variable the number of CRC values per entry, per source.
- Allocate entries queue each time we start capturing as now there
isn't a fixed number of CRC values per entry.
- Store the frame counter in the data file as a 8-digit hex number.
- For sources that cannot provide useful frame numbers, place
XXXXXXXX in the frame field.
v4:
- Build only if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled.
- Use memdup_user_nul.
- Consolidate calculation of the size of an entry in a helper.
- Add 0x prefix to hex numbers in the data file.
- Remove unnecessary snprintf and strlen usage in read callback.
v5:
- Made the crcs array in drm_crtc_crc_entry fixed-size
- Lots of other smaller improvements suggested by Emil Velikov
v7:
- Move definition of drm_debugfs_crtc_crc_add to drm_internal.h
v8:
- Call debugfs_remove_recursive when we fail to create the minor
device
v9:
- Register the debugfs directory for a crtc from
drm_crtc_register_all()
v10:
- Don't let debugfs failures interrupt CRTC registration (Emil
Velikov)
v11:
- Remove extra brace that broke compilation. Sorry!

- Move the common vtable stuff to the top
- Move "Tile Group" to a more appropriate heading level
- Throw away the old intro for the crtc helpers (it's entirely stale,
e.g. helpers have become modular years ago), and replace it with a
general intro about the motivation behind helpers.
- Reorder helpers to group them together a bit better, and explain
that grouping in the intro.
- Make sure the introductory DOC section is always first.
v2:
- Remove bogus files accidentally added (Sean).
- Spelling fixes (Sean).

Also extract drm_auth.h for nicer grouping.
v2: Nuke the other comments since they don't really explain a lot, and
within the drm core we generally only document functions exported to
drivers: The main audience for these docs are driver writers.
v3: Limit the exposure of drm_master internals by only including
drm_auth.h where it is neede (Chris).
v4: Spelling polish (Emil).

We already have a fallback in place to fill out the unique from
dev->unique, which is set to something reasonable in drm_dev_alloc.
Which means we only need to have a special set_busid for pci devices,
to be able to care the backwards compat code for drm 1.1 around, which
libdrm still needs.
While developing and testing this patch things blew up in really
interesting ways, and the code is rather confusing in naming things
between the kernel code, ioctl #defines and libdrm. For the next brave
dragon slayer, document all this madness properly in the userspace
interface section of gpu.tmpl.
v2: Make drm_dev_set_unique static and update kerneldoc.
v3: Entire rewrite, plus document what's going on for posterity in the
gpu docbook uapi section.
v4: Drop accidental amdgpu hunk (Emil).
v5: Drop accidental omapdrm vblank counter change (Emil).
v6: Rebase on top of the sphinx conversion.

While splitting the document up, the headings "shifted" from what pandoc
generated. Use the following order for headings for consistency:
==============
Document title
==============
First
=====
Second
------
Third
~~~~~
Leave the lower level headings as they are; I think those are less
important. Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than
imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the
order enforced will be the order as encountered."), having the higher
levels the same overall makes it easier to follow the documents.
[I'm sort of kind of writing the recommendation for docs-next in the
mean time, but this order seems sensible, and is what I'm proposing.]

Make the gpu documentation easier to manage by splitting to separate
files. Again, this is just the split, no real edits.
