AMD today announced the source code to that atom parser from their kgrids project, I've been playing with this code for a few weeks to see if we could use it for kernel modesetting (kms).
So I've just pushed my initial radeon kms code to the "gem-modesetting" branch of the drm git tree.
The corresponding DDX code is in the radeon-gem-ms branch of my personal xf86-video-ati repo.
This contains 2 major things - and doesn't contain lots of other major things:
1. GEM style API to userspace layered on top of TTM internals.
- Only really does pinned allocations - no superioctl support yet, working with Jerome on tying that down.
2. atombios parser from AMD + modesetting code.
- This only support rs690 and r500 devices so far. We don't have r600 code in the drm tree properly yet,
and legacy bios is TODO.
So the major TODOs are:
add support for modesetting on legacy cards (r100/r200/r300/r400) - ported from -ati driver. We need a fixed point
implementation of the bandwidth calculation code.
proper command submission - Jerome is looking into this and I think we have a solid plan. for now I'm just abusing the old
style command submission routines with GEM ioctl.
3D - cmdbuf work on the Mesa drivers needed, RH has some in-progress code.
EXA pixmaps - still using one big EXA offscreen area, probably need to move to EXA pixmaps for DRI2 and also to use the superioctl properly.
