+==============================
+AMDGPU - Display Contributions
+==============================
+
+First of all, if you are here, you probably want to give some technical
+contribution to the display code, and for that, we say thank you :)
+
+This page summarizes some of the issues you can help with; keep in mind that
+this is a static page, and it is always a good idea to try to reach developers
+in the amdgfx or some of the maintainers. Finally, this page follows the DRM
+way of creating a TODO list; for more information, check
+'Documentation/gpu/todo.rst'.
+
+Gitlab issues
+=============
+
+Users can report issues associated with AMD GPUs at:
+
+- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd
+
+Usually, we try to add a proper label to all new tickets to make it easy to
+filter issues. If you can reproduce any problem, you could help by adding more
+information or fixing the issue.
+
+Level: diverse
+
+IGT
+===
+
+`IGT`_ provides many integration tests that can be run on your GPU. We always
+want to pass a large set of tests to increase the test coverage in our CI. If
+you wish to contribute to the display code but are unsure where a good place
+is, we recommend you run all IGT tests and try to fix any failure you see in
+your hardware. Keep in mind that this failure can be an IGT problem or a kernel
+issue; it is necessary to analyze case-by-case.

+
+Compilation
+===========
+
+Fix compilation warnings
+------------------------
+
+Enable the W1 or W2 warning level in the kernel compilation and try to fix the
+issues on the display side.
+
+Level: Starter
+
+Fix compilation issues when using um architecture
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Linux has a User-mode Linux (UML) feature, and the kernel can be compiled to
+the **um** architecture. Compiling for **um** can bring multiple advantages
+from the test perspective. We currently have some compilation issues in this
+area that we need to fix.
+
+Level: Intermediate
+
+Code Refactor
+=============
+
+Add prefix to DC functions to improve the debug with ftrace
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Ftrace debug feature (check 'Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst') is a
+fantastic way to check the code path when developers try to make sense of a
+bug. Ftrace provides a filter mechanism that can be useful when the developer
+has some hunch of which part of the code can cause the issue; for this reason,
+if a set of functions has a proper prefix, it becomes easy to create a good
+filter. Additionally, prefixes can improve stack trace readability.
+
+The DC code does not follow some prefix rules, which makes the Ftrace filter
+more complicated and reduces the readability of the stack trace. If you want
+something simple to start contributing to the display, you can make patches for
+adding prefixes to DC functions. To create those prefixes, use part of the file
+name as a prefix for all functions in the target file. Check the
+'amdgpu_dm_crtc.c` and `amdgpu_dm_plane.c` for some references. However, we
+strongly advise not to send huge patches changing these prefixes; otherwise, it
+will be hard to review and test, which can generate second thoughts from
+maintainers. Try small steps; in case of double, you can ask before you put in
+effort. We recommend first looking at folders like dceXYZ, dcnXYZ, basics,
+bios, core, clk_mgr, hwss, resource, and irq.
+
+Level: Starter
+
+Reduce code duplication
+-----------------------
+
+AMD has an extensive portfolio with various dGPUs and APUs that amdgpu
+supports. To maintain the new hardware release cadence, DCE/DCN was designed in
+a modular design, making the bring-up for new hardware fast. Over the years,
+amdgpu accumulated some technical debt in the code duplication area. For this
+task, it would be a good idea to find a tool that can discover code duplication
+(including patterns) and use it as guidance to reduce duplications.
+
+Level: Intermediate
+
+Make atomic_commit_[check|tail] more readable
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The functions responsible for atomic commit and tail are intricate and
+extensive. In particular `amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail` is a long function and
+could benefit from being split into smaller helpers. Improvements in this area
+are more than welcome, but keep in mind that changes in this area will affect
+all ASICs, meaning that refactoring requires a comprehensive verification; in
+other words, this effort can take some time for validation.
+
+Level: Advanced
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+Expand kernel-doc
+-----------------
+
+Many DC functions do not have a proper kernel-doc; understanding a function and
+adding documentation is a great way to learn more about the amdgpu driver and
+also leave an outstanding contribution to the entire community.
+
+Level: Starter
+
+Beyond AMDGPU
+=============
+
+AMDGPU provides features that are not yet enabled in the userspace. This
+section highlights some of the coolest display features, which could be enabled
+with the userspace developer helper.
+
+Enable underlay
+---------------
+
+AMD display has this feature called underlay (which you can read more about at
+'Documentation/GPU/amdgpu/display/mpo-overview.rst') which is intended to
+save power when playing a video. The basic idea is to put a video in the
+underlay plane at the bottom and the desktop in the plane above it with a hole
+in the video area. This feature is enabled in ChromeOS, and from our data
+measurement, it can save power.
+
+Level: Unknown
+
+Adaptive Backlight Modulation (ABM)
+-----------------------------------
+
+ABM is a feature that adjusts the display panel's backlight level and pixel
+values depending on the displayed image. This power-saving feature can be very
+useful when the system starts to run off battery; since this will impact the
+display output fidelity, it would be good if this option was something that
+users could turn on or off.
+
+Level: Unknown
+
+
+HDR & Color management & VRR
+----------------------------
+
+HDR, Color Management, and VRR are huge topics and it's hard to put these into
+concise ToDos. If you are interested in this topic, we recommend checking some
+blog posts from the community developers to better understand some of the
+specific challenges and people working on the subject. If anyone wants to work
+on some particular part, we can try to help with some basic guidance. Finally,
+keep in mind that we already have some kernel-doc in place for those areas.

+DC Code validation
+------------------
+
+Maintaining the same code base across multiple OSes requires a lot of
+synchronization effort between repositories and exhaustive validation. In the
+DC case, we maintain a tree to centralize code from different parts. The shared
+repository has integration tests with our Internal Linux CI farm, and we run a
+comprehensive set of IGT tests in various AMD GPUs/APUs (mostly recent dGPUs
+and APUs). Our CI also checks ARM64/32, PPC64/32, and x86_64/32 compilation
+with DCN enabled and disabled.
+
+When we upstream a new feature or some patches, we pack them in a patchset with
+the prefix **DC Patches for <DATE>**, which is created based on the latest
+`amd-staging-drm-next <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux>`_. All of
+those patches are under a DC version tested as follows:
+
+* Ensure that every patch compiles and the entire series pass our set of IGT
+  test in different hardware.
+* Prepare a branch with those patches for our validation team. If there is an
+  error, a developer will debug as fast as possible; usually, a simple bisect
+  in the series is enough to point to a bad change, and two possible actions
+  emerge: fix the issue or drop the patch. If it is not an easy fix, the bad
+  patch is dropped.
+* Finally, developers wait a few days for community feedback before we merge
+  the series.
+
+It is good to stress that the test phase is something that we take extremely
+seriously, and we never merge anything that fails our validation. Follows an
+overview of our test set:
+
+#. Manual test
+    * Multiple Hotplugs with DP and HDMI.
+    * Stress test with multiple display configuration changes via the user interface.
+    * Validate VRR behaviour.
+    * Check PSR.
+    * Validate MPO when playing video.
+    * Test more than two displays connected at the same time.
+    * Check suspend/resume.
+    * Validate FPO.
+    * Check MST.
+#. Automated test
+    * IGT tests in a farm with GPUs and APUs that support DCN and DCE.
+    * Compilation validation with the latest GCC and Clang from LTS distro.
+    * Cross-compilation for PowerPC 64/32, ARM 64/32, and x86 32.
+
+In terms of test setup for CI and manual tests, we usually use:
+
+#. The latest Ubuntu LTS.
+#. In terms of userspace, we only use fully updated open-source components
+   provided by the distribution official package manager.
+#. Regarding IGT, we use the latest code from the upstream.
+#. Most of the manual tests are conducted in the GNome but we also use KDE.
+
+Notice that someone from our test team will always reply to the cover letter
+with the test report.

-==========================
-Xe – Merge Acceptance Plan
-==========================
-Xe is a new driver for Intel GPUs that supports both integrated and
-discrete platforms starting with Tiger Lake (first Intel Xe Architecture).
-
-This document aims to establish a merge plan for the Xe, by writing down clear
-pre-merge goals, in order to avoid unnecessary delays.
-
-Xe – Overview
-=============
-The main motivation of Xe is to have a fresh base to work from that is
-unencumbered by older platforms, whilst also taking the opportunity to
-rearchitect our driver to increase sharing across the drm subsystem, both
-leveraging and allowing us to contribute more towards other shared components
-like TTM and drm/scheduler.
-
-This is also an opportunity to start from the beginning with a clean uAPI that is
-extensible by design and already aligned with the modern userspace needs. For
-this reason, the memory model is solely based on GPU Virtual Address space
-bind/unbind (‘VM_BIND’) of GEM buffer objects (BOs) and execution only supporting
-explicit synchronization. With persistent mapping across the execution, the
-userspace does not need to provide a list of all required mappings during each
-submission.
-
-The new driver leverages a lot from i915. As for display, the intent is to share
-the display code with the i915 driver so that there is maximum reuse there.
-
-As for the power management area, the goal is to have a much-simplified support
-for the system suspend states (S-states), PCI device suspend states (D-states),
-GPU/Render suspend states (R-states) and frequency management. It should leverage
-as much as possible all the existent PCI-subsystem infrastructure (pm and
-runtime_pm) and underlying firmware components such PCODE and GuC for the power
-states and frequency decisions.
-
-Repository:
-
-https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel (branch drm-xe-next)
-
-Xe – Platforms
-==============
-Currently, Xe is already functional and has experimental support for multiple
-platforms starting from Tiger Lake, with initial support in userspace implemented
-in Mesa (for Iris and Anv, our OpenGL and Vulkan drivers), as well as in NEO
-(for OpenCL and Level0).
-
-During a transition period, platforms will be supported by both Xe and i915.
-However, the force_probe mechanism existent in both drivers will allow only one
-official and by-default probe at a given time.
-
-For instance, in order to probe a DG2 which PCI ID is 0x5690 by Xe instead of
-i915, the following set of parameters need to be used:
-
-```
-i915.force_probe=!5690 xe.force_probe=5690
-```
-
-In both drivers, the ‘.require_force_probe’ protection forces the user to use the
-force_probe parameter while the driver is under development. This protection is
-only removed when the support for the platform and the uAPI are stable. Stability
-which needs to be demonstrated by CI results.
-
-In order to avoid user space regressions, i915 will continue to support all the
-current platforms that are already out of this protection. Xe support will be
-forever experimental and dependent on the usage of force_probe for these
-platforms.
-
-When the time comes for Xe, the protection will be lifted on Xe and kept in i915.
-
-Xe – Pre-Merge Goals - Work-in-Progress
-=======================================
-
-Display integration with i915
------------------------------
-In order to share the display code with the i915 driver so that there is maximum
-reuse, the i915/display/ code is built twice, once for i915.ko and then for
-xe.ko. Currently, the i915/display code in Xe tree is polluted with many 'ifdefs'
-depending on the build target. The goal is to refactor both Xe and i915/display
-code simultaneously in order to get a clean result before they land upstream, so
-that display can already be part of the initial pull request towards drm-next.
-
-However, display code should not gate the acceptance of Xe in upstream. Xe
-patches will be refactored in a way that display code can be removed, if needed,
-from the first pull request of Xe towards drm-next. The expectation is that when
-both drivers are part of the drm-tip, the introduction of cleaner patches will be
-easier and speed up.
-
-Xe – uAPI high level overview
-=============================
-
-...Warning: To be done in follow up patches after/when/where the main consensus in various items are individually reached.
-
-Xe – Pre-Merge Goals - Completed
-================================
-
-Drm_exec
---------
-Helper to make dma_resv locking for a big number of buffers is getting removed in
-the drm_exec series proposed in https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/524376/
-If that happens, Xe needs to change and incorporate the changes in the driver.
-The goal is to engage with the Community to understand if the best approach is to
-move that to the drivers that are using it or if we should keep the helpers in
-place waiting for Xe to get merged.
-
-This item ties into the GPUVA, VM_BIND, and even long-running compute support.
-
-As a key measurable result, we need to have a community consensus documented in
-this document and the Xe driver prepared for the changes, if necessary.
-
-Userptr integration and vm_bind
--------------------------------
-Different drivers implement different ways of dealing with execution of userptr.
-With multiple drivers currently introducing support to VM_BIND, the goal is to
-aim for a DRM consensus on what’s the best way to have that support. To some
-extent this is already getting addressed itself with the GPUVA where likely the
-userptr will be a GPUVA with a NULL GEM call VM bind directly on the userptr.
-However, there are more aspects around the rules for that and the usage of
-mmu_notifiers, locking and other aspects.
-
-This task here has the goal of introducing a documentation of the basic rules.
-
-The documentation *needs* to first live in this document (API session below) and
-then moved to another more specific document or at Xe level or at DRM level.
-
-Documentation should include:
-
- * The userptr part of the VM_BIND api.
-
- * Locking, including the page-faulting case.
-
- * O(1) complexity under VM_BIND.
-
-The document is now included in the drm documentation :doc:`here </gpu/drm-vm-bind-async>`.
-
-Some parts of userptr like mmu_notifiers should become GPUVA or DRM helpers when
-the second driver supporting VM_BIND+userptr appears. Details to be defined when
-the time comes.
-
-The DRM GPUVM helpers do not yet include the userptr parts, but discussions
-about implementing them are ongoing.
-
-ASYNC VM_BIND
--------------
-Although having a common DRM level IOCTL for VM_BIND is not a requirement to get
-Xe merged, it is mandatory to have a consensus with other drivers and Mesa.
-It needs to be clear how to handle async VM_BIND and interactions with userspace
-memory fences. Ideally with helper support so people don't get it wrong in all
-possible ways.
-
-As a key measurable result, the benefits of ASYNC VM_BIND and a discussion of
-various flavors, error handling and sample API suggestions are documented in
-:doc:`The ASYNC VM_BIND document </gpu/drm-vm-bind-async>`.
-
-Drm_scheduler
--------------
-Xe primarily uses Firmware based scheduling (GuC FW). However, it will use
-drm_scheduler as the scheduler ‘frontend’ for userspace submission in order to
-resolve syncobj and dma-buf implicit sync dependencies. However, drm_scheduler is
-not yet prepared to handle the 1-to-1 relationship between drm_gpu_scheduler and
-drm_sched_entity.
-
-Deeper changes to drm_scheduler should *not* be required to get Xe accepted, but
-some consensus needs to be reached between Xe and other community drivers that
-could also benefit from this work, for coupling FW based/assisted submission such
-as the ARM’s new Mali GPU driver, and others.
-
-As a key measurable result, the patch series introducing Xe itself shall not
-depend on any other patch touching drm_scheduler itself that was not yet merged
-through drm-misc. This, by itself, already includes the reach of an agreement for
-uniform 1 to 1 relationship implementation / usage across drivers.
-
-Long running compute: minimal data structure/scaffolding
---------------------------------------------------------
-The generic scheduler code needs to include the handling of endless compute
-contexts, with the minimal scaffolding for preempt-ctx fences (probably on the
-drm_sched_entity) and making sure drm_scheduler can cope with the lack of job
-completion fence.
-
-The goal is to achieve a consensus ahead of Xe initial pull-request, ideally with
-this minimal drm/scheduler work, if needed, merged to drm-misc in a way that any
-drm driver, including Xe, could re-use and add their own individual needs on top
-in a next stage. However, this should not block the initial merge.
-
-Dev_coredump
-------------
-
-Xe needs to align with other drivers on the way that the error states are
-dumped, avoiding a Xe only error_state solution. The goal is to use devcoredump
-infrastructure to report error states, since it produces a standardized way
-by exposing a virtual and temporary /sys/class/devcoredump device.
-
-As the key measurable result, Xe driver needs to provide GPU snapshots captured
-at hang time through devcoredump, but without depending on any core modification
-of devcoredump infrastructure itself.
-
-Later, when we are in-tree, the goal is to collaborate with devcoredump
-infrastructure with overall possible improvements, like multiple file support
-for better organization of the dumps, snapshot support, dmesg extra print,
-and whatever may make sense and help the overall infrastructure.
-
-DRM_VM_BIND
------------
-Nouveau, and Xe are all implementing ‘VM_BIND’ and new ‘Exec’ uAPIs in order to
-fulfill the needs of the modern uAPI. Xe merge should *not* be blocked on the
-development of a common new drm_infrastructure. However, the Xe team needs to
-engage with the community to explore the options of a common API.
-
-As a key measurable result, the DRM_VM_BIND needs to be documented in this file
-below, or this entire block deleted if the consensus is for independent drivers
-vm_bind ioctls.
-
-Although having a common DRM level IOCTL for VM_BIND is not a requirement to get
-Xe merged, it is mandatory to enforce the overall locking scheme for all major
-structs and list (so vm and vma). So, a consensus is needed, and possibly some
-common helpers. If helpers are needed, they should be also documented in this
-document.
-
-GPU VA
-------
-Two main goals of Xe are meeting together here:
-
-1) Have an uAPI that aligns with modern UMD needs.
-
-2) Early upstream engagement.
-
-RedHat engineers working on Nouveau proposed a new DRM feature to handle keeping
-track of GPU virtual address mappings. This is still not merged upstream, but
-this aligns very well with our goals and with our VM_BIND. The engagement with
-upstream and the port of Xe towards GPUVA is already ongoing.
-
-As a key measurable result, Xe needs to be aligned with the GPU VA and working in
-our tree. Missing Nouveau patches should *not* block Xe and any needed GPUVA
-related patch should be independent and present on dri-devel or acked by
-maintainers to go along with the first Xe pull request towards drm-next.

+Rename drm_atomic_state
+-----------------------
+
+The KMS framework uses two slightly different definitions for the ``state``
+concept. For a given object (plane, CRTC, encoder, etc., so
+``drm_$OBJECT_state``), the state is the entire state of that object. However,
+at the device level, ``drm_atomic_state`` refers to a state update for a
+limited number of objects.
+
+The state isn't the entire device state, but only the full state of some
+objects in that device. This is confusing to newcomers, and
+``drm_atomic_state`` should be renamed to something clearer like
+``drm_atomic_commit``.
+
+In addition to renaming the structure itself, it would also imply renaming some
+related functions (``drm_atomic_state_alloc``, ``drm_atomic_state_get``,
+``drm_atomic_state_put``, ``drm_atomic_state_init``,
+``__drm_atomic_state_free``, etc.).
