AMDGPU DRM maintainer Alex Deucher of AMD today pushed the latest batch of changes to their 5.3 work-in-progress area, which is on top of the earlier rounds of changes.
The newest AMDGPU code added includes:
- The AMDKFD compute code has implemented queue priority controls for GFX9/Vega hardware, similar to existing GFX8 support.
- Also on the AMDKFD front is the new compute support for Vega M, the Intel Kabylake-G processors with the onboard AMD graphics.
- RLC firmware handling to support Raven Ridge "Raven1" refresh devices that require some different firmware.
- A new module parameter "abmlevel" to specify the default ABM value for the Ambient Backlight Manager on newer Raven Ridge era systems.
- Switching to using new Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM) APIs and related HMM work, including NUMA balancing support.
The latest code for testing can be found via this Git branch.
