Starting from DG2, some of the programming previously done by i915 and the GuC has been moved to the GSC and the relevant registers are no longer writable by either CPU or GuC. This is also referred to as GuC deprivilege. On the i915 side, this affects the WOPCM registers: these are no longer programmed by the driver and we do instead expect to find them already set. This can lead to verification failures because in i915 we cheat a bit with the WOPCM size defines, to keep the code common across platforms, by sometimes using a smaller WOPCM size that the actual HW support (which isn't a problem because the extra size is not needed if the FW fits in the smaller chunk), while the pre-programmed values can use the actual size. Given tha the new programming entity is trusted, relax the amount of the checks done on the pre-programmed values by not limiting the max programmed size. In the extremely unlikely scenario that the registers have been misprogrammed, we will still fail later at DMA time. v2: drop special case for DG2 G10 A0 (Alan) Signed-off-by: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com> Cc: Stuart Summers <stuart.summers@intel.com> Cc: John Harrison <john.c.harrison@intel.com> Cc: Alan Previn <alan.previn.teres.alexis@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Alan Previn <alan.previn.teres.alexis@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220120212947.3440448-1-daniele.ceraolospurio@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.
