DRM Rust changes for v7.1-rc1
- DMA:
- Rework the DMA coherent API: introduce Coherent<T> as a generalized
container for arbitrary types, replacing the slice-only
CoherentAllocation<T>. Add CoherentBox for memory initialization
before exposing a buffer to hardware (converting to Coherent when
ready), and CoherentHandle for allocations without kernel mapping.
- Add Coherent::init() / init_with_attrs() for one-shot initialization
via pin-init, and from-slice constructors for both Coherent and
CoherentBox
- Add uaccess write_dma() for copying from DMA buffers to userspace
and BinaryWriter support for Coherent<T>
- DRM:
- Add GPU buddy allocator abstraction
- Add DRM shmem GEM helper abstraction
- Allow drm::Device to dispatch work and delayed work items to driver
private data
- Add impl_aref_for_gem_obj!() macro to reduce GEM refcount
boilerplate, and introduce DriverObject::Args for constructor
context
- Add dma_resv_lock helper and raw_dma_resv() accessor on GEM objects
- Clean up imports across the DRM module
- I/O:
- Merged via a signed tag from the driver-core tree: register!() macro
and I/O infrastructure improvements (IoCapable refactor, RelaxedMmio
wrapper, IoLoc trait, generic accessors, write_reg /
LocatedRegister)
- Nova (Core):
- Fix and harden the GSP command queue: correct write pointer
advancing, empty slot handling, and ring buffer indexing; add mutex
locking and make Cmdq a pinned type; distinguish wait vs no-wait
commands
- Add support for large RPCs via continuation records, splitting
oversized commands across multiple queue slots
- Simplify GSP sequencer and message handling code: remove unused
trait and Display impls, derive Debug and Zeroable where applicable,
warn on unconsumed message data
- Refactor Falcon firmware handling: create DMA objects lazily, add
PIO upload support, and use the Generic Bootloader to boot FWSEC on
Turing
- Convert all register definitions (PMC, PBUS, PFB, GC6, FUSE, PDISP,
Falcon) to the kernel register!() macro; add bounded_enum macro to
define enums usable as register fields
- Migrate all DMA usage to the new Coherent, CoherentBox, and
CoherentHandle APIs
- Harden firmware parsing with checked arithmetic throughout FWSEC,
Booter, RISC-V parsing paths
- Add debugfs support for reading GSP-RM log buffers; replace
module_pci_driver!() with explicit module init to support
module-level debugfs setup
- Fix auxiliary device registration for multi-GPU systems
- Various cleanups: import style, firmware parsing refactoring,
framebuffer size logging
- Rust:
- Add interop::list module providing a C linked list interface
- Extend num::Bounded with shift operations, into_bool(), and const
get() to support register bitfield manipulation
- Enable the generic_arg_infer Rust feature and add EMSGSIZE error
code
- Tyr:
- Adopt vertical import style per kernel Rust guidelines
- Clarify driver/device type names and use DRM device type alias
consistently across the driver
- Fix GPU model/version decoding in GpuInfo
- Workqueue:
- Add ARef<T> support for work and delayed work
