DRM Rust changes for v7.2-rc1
- Driver Core (shared via signed tag dd-lifetimes-7.2-rc1):
- Introduce Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types (HRT) for Rust device
drivers, allowing driver structs to hold device resources like
pci::Bar and IoMem directly with a lifetime tied to the binding
scope, removing the need for Devres indirection and ARef<Device>.
- Replace drvdata() with scoped registration data on the auxiliary
bus, using the new ForLt trait to thread lifetimes through
registrations. Remove drvdata() and driver_type.
- DRM:
- Add GPUVM immediate mode abstraction for Rust GPU drivers:
- In immediate mode, GPU virtual address space state is updated
during job execution (in the DMA fence signalling critical path),
keeping the GPUVM and the GPU's address space always in sync.
- Provide GpuVm, GpuVa, and GpuVmBo types for managing address
spaces, virtual mappings, and GEM object backing respectively.
- Provide split-merge map/unmap operations that handle partial
overlaps with existing mappings.
- drm_exec integration for dma_resv locking and GEM object
validation based on the external/evicted object lists are not
yet covered and planned as follow-up work.
- Introduce DeviceContext type state for drm::Device, allowing
drivers to restrict operations to contexts where the device is
guaranteed to be registered (or not yet registered) with userspace.
- Add FEAT_RENDER flag to the Driver trait for render node support.
- Nova:
- Hopper/Blackwell enablement:
- Add GPU identification and architecture-based HAL selection for
Hopper (GH100) and Blackwell (GB100, GB202).
- Implement the FSP (Foundation Security Processor) boot path used by
Hopper and Blackwell, including FSP falcon engine support, EMEM
operations, MCTP/NVDM message infrastructure, and FSP Chain of
Trust boot with GSP lockdown release.
- Add support for 32-bit firmware images and auto-detection of
firmware image format.
- Add architecture-specific framebuffer, sysmem flush, PCI config
mirror, DMA mask, and WPR/non-WPR heap sizing.
- GSP boot and unload:
- Refactor the GSP boot process into a chipset-specific HAL,
keeping the SEC2 and FSP boot paths separated cleanly.
- Implement proper driver unload: send UNLOADING_GUEST_DRIVER
command, run Booter Unloader and FWSEC-SB upon unbinding, and run
the unload bundle on Gsp::boot() failure. This removes the need
for a manual GPU reset between driver unbind and re-probe.
- GA100 support:
- Add support for the GA100 GPU, including IFR header detection and
skipping, correct fwsignature selection, conditional FRTS boot,
and documentation of the IFR header layout.
- VBIOS hardening and refactoring:
- Harden VBIOS parsing with checked arithmetic, bounds-checked
accesses, and FromBytes-based structure reads throughout the FWSEC
and Falcon data paths. Simplify the overall VBIOS module
structure.
- HRT adoption:
- Use lifetime-parameterized pci::Bar directly, replacing the
Arc<Devres<Bar0>> indirection. Replace ARef<Device> with &'bound
Device in SysmemFlush and the GSP sequencer. Separate the driver
type from driver data.
- Misc:
- Rename module names to kebab-case (nova-drm, nova-core).
- Require little-endian in Kconfig, making the existing assumption
explicit.
- Tyr:
- Define comprehensive typed register blocks for GPU_CONTROL,
JOB_CONTROL, MMU_CONTROL (including per-address-space registers),
and DOORBELL_BLOCK using the kernel register!() macro. This replaces
manual bit manipulation with typed register and field accessors.
- Add shmem-backed GEM objects and set DMA mask based on GPU physical
address width.
- Adopt HRT: separate driver type from driver data, and use IoMem
directly instead of Devres for register access during probe.
- Move clock cleanup into a Drop implementation.
