Alex Deucher ce8f53709b drm/radeon/kms/pm: rework power management
- Separate dynpm and profile based power management methods.  You can select the pm method
  by echoing the selected method ("dynpm" or "profile") to power_method in sysfs.
- Expose basic 4 profile in profile method
  "default" - default clocks
  "auto" - select between low and high based on ac/dc state
  "low" - DC, low power mode
  "high" - AC, performance mode
  The current base profile is "default", but it should switched to "auto" once we've tested
  on more systems.  Switching the state is a matter of echoing the requested profile to
  power_profile in sysfs.  The lowest power states are selected automatically when dpms turns
  the monitors off in all states but default.
- Remove dynamic fence-based reclocking for the moment.  We can revisit this later once we
  have basic pm in.
- Move pm init/fini to modesetting path.  pm is tightly coupled with display state.  Make sure
  display side is initialized before pm.
- Add pm suspend/resume functions to make sure pm state is properly reinitialized on resume.
- Remove dynpm module option.  It's now selectable via sysfs.

help
Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default.
This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm
for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics
stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack.
i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may
cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack.
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
in the log and they return failure.
KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
the position of the different buffers.
The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current
experimental userspace to run.
This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX,
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX).
