In preparation for Xe HP multi-tile architecture with multiple memory regions, we need to be able differentiate multiple instances of device local-memory. Note that the region name is just to give it a human friendly identifier, instead of using class/instance which also uniquely identifies the region. So far the region name is only for our own internal debugging in the kernel(like in the selftests), or debugfs which prints the list of regions, including the regions name. v2: add commentary for our current region name use Signed-off-by: Zbigniew Kempczyński <zbigniew.kempczynski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210203171231.551338-1-matthew.auld@intel.com Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
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.
