The clear-residuals mitigation is a relatively heavy hammer and under some
circumstances the user may wish to forgo the context isolation in order
to meet some performance requirement. Introduce a generic module
parameter to allow selectively enabling/disabling different mitigations.
To disable just the clear-residuals mitigation (on Ivybridge, Baytrail,
or Haswell) use the module parameter: i915.mitigations=auto,!residuals

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.
