============================= Mode Setting Helper Functions ============================= The DRM subsystem aims for a strong separation between core code and helper libraries. Core code takes care of general setup and teardown and decoding userspace requests to kernel internal objects. Everything else is handled by a large set of helper libraries, which can be combined freely to pick and choose for each driver what fits, and avoid shared code where special behaviour is needed. This distinction between core code and helpers is especially strong in the modesetting code, where there's a shared userspace ABI for all drivers. This is in contrast to the render side, where pretty much everything (with very few exceptions) can be considered optional helper code. There are a few areas these helpers can grouped into: * Helpers to implement modesetting. The important ones here are the atomic helpers. Old drivers still often use the legacy CRTC helpers. They both share the same set of common helper vtables. For really simple drivers (anything that would have been a great fit in the deprecated fbdev subsystem) there's also the simple display pipe helpers. * There's a big pile of helpers for handling outputs. First the generic bridge helpers for handling encoder and transcoder IP blocks. Second the panel helpers for handling panel-related information and logic. Plus then a big set of helpers for the various sink standards (DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI DSI). Finally there's also generic helpers for handling output probing, and for dealing with EDIDs. * The last group of helpers concerns itself with the frontend side of a display pipeline: Planes, handling rectangles for visibility checking and scissoring, flip queues and assorted bits.
