Matt Roper 1d734a3e5d drm/xe: Name and document Wa_14019789679
Early in the development of Xe we identified an issue with SVG state
handling on DG2 and MTL (and later on Xe2 as well).  In
commit 72ac304769 ("drm/xe: Emit SVG state on RCS during driver load
on DG2 and MTL") and commit fb24b858a2 ("drm/xe/xe2: Update SVG state
handling") we implemented our own workaround to prevent SVG state from
leaking from context A to context B in cases where context B never
issues a specific state setting.

The hardware teams have now created official workaround Wa_14019789679
to cover this issue.  The workaround description only requires emitting
3DSTATE_MESH_CONTROL, since they believe that's the only SVG instruction
that would potentially remain unset by a context B, but still cause
notable issues if unwanted values were inherited from context A.
However since we already have a more extensive implementation that emits
the entire SVG state and prevents _any_ SVG state from unintentionally
leaking, we'll stick with our existing implementation just to be safe.

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.
