This latest batch of AMDGPU material for Linux 5.6 builds off the interesting feature work of previous weeks and now includes:
- The AMDKFD compute kernel code now spreads interrupt work across CPU cores to help reduce latency.
- Display Core Next (DCN) support for working on IBM POWER, so the latest AMD graphics cards should play nicely on the likes of Raptor Computing Systems' libre POWER9 hardware systems.
- GFXOFF support is now enabled for Raven 1 refresh APUs for being able to conserve power by turning off the graphics engine when it's not in use.
- A reusable task barrier for synchronizing a given number of threads at a point before execution of critical code. This DRM task barrier support is initially being used within the xGMI hive code.
- HDMI 2.0 audio fixes.
- Continued fixes/improvements around Renoir.
- Continued fixes for the yet-to-launch Arcturus GPU with Video Core Next, BACO (Bus Active, Chip Off), and other fixes.
- Various other fixes and clean-ups.
The complete list of patches now ready for DRM-Next and the eventual Linux 5.6 can be found via this mailing list post.
