[Why] Hardware support for Delta Color Compression (DCC) decompression is available in DC for GFX9 but there's no way for userspace to enable the feature. Enabling the feature can provide improved GFX performance and power savings in many situations. [How] The GFX9 DCC parameters are passed to amdgpu_dm from AMDGPU via the amdgpu_bo tiling_flags. The plane capability is queried and the parameters are set accordingly. The DCC address is given via a 256 byte aligned offset on the framebuffer address. The DCC address is updated whenever the buffer address changes.

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.
