VPU Memory Management Unit is based on ARM MMU-600. It allows the creation of multiple virtual address spaces for the device and map noncontinuous host memory (there is no dedicated memory on the VPU). Address space is implemented as a struct ivpu_mmu_context, it has an ID, drm_mm allocator for VPU addresses and struct ivpu_mmu_pgtable that holds actual 3-level, 4KB page table. Context with ID 0 (global context) is created upon driver initialization and it's mainly used for mapping memory required to execute the firmware. Contexts with non-zero IDs are user contexts allocated each time the devices is open()-ed and they map command buffers and other workload-related memory. Workloads executing in a given contexts have access only to the memory mapped in this context. This patch is has two main files: - ivpu_mmu_context.c handles MMU page tables and memory mapping - ivpu_mmu.c implements a driver that programs the MMU device Co-developed-by: Karol Wachowski <karol.wachowski@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Karol Wachowski <karol.wachowski@linux.intel.com> Co-developed-by: Krystian Pradzynski <krystian.pradzynski@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Krystian Pradzynski <krystian.pradzynski@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jacek Lawrynowicz <jacek.lawrynowicz@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Oded Gabbay <ogabbay@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jeffrey Hugo <quic_jhugo@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230117092723.60441-3-jacek.lawrynowicz@linux.intel.com
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 Restructured Text 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.
