SmartMux is a mechanism to switch the GPU being used for scanout in a hybrid configuration. This is used for devices with an eDP and two GPUs. This is only valid when the system has a physical switch (Multiplexer) in the board to switch between the two GPUs. When a graphically intensive workload like a game is being run, the system can be switch the active display to the dGPU, so that we can avoid copying the buffer from dGPU to APU for scanout. This helps with latency and FPS. When power consumption is preferred, the system can be switched to the APU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
