gallium: add renderonly library
This a very lightweight library to add basic support for renderonly GPUs. A kms gallium driver must specify how a renderonly_scanout objects gets created. Also it must provide file handles to the used kms device and the used gpu device. This could look like: struct renderonly ro = { .create_for_resource = renderonly_create_gpu_import_for_resource, .kms_fd = fd, .gpu_fd = open("/dev/dri/renderD128", O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC) }; The renderonly_scanout object exits for two reasons: - Do any special treatment for a scanout resource like importing the GPU resource into the scanout hw. - Make it easier for a gallium driver to detect if anything special needs to be done in flush_resource(..) like a resolve to linear. A GPU gallium driver which gets used as renderonly GPU needs to be aware of the renderonly library. This library will likely break android support and hopefully will get replaced with a better solution based on gbm2. Changes from V1 -> V2: - reworked the lifecycle of renderonly object (suggested by Nicolai Hähnle) - killed the midlayer (suggested by Thierry Reding) - made the API more explicit regarding gpu and kms fd's - added some docs Signed-off-by: Christian Gmeiner <[email protected]> Acked-by: Emil Velikov <[email protected]> Tested-by: Alexandre Courbot <[email protected]>
