Duplicate GEM-SHMEM to GEM-UMA. Convert all DRM drivers for UMA systems if they currently use GEM-SHMEM.
Many DRM drivers for hardware with Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) currently builds upon GEM-SHMEM and extends the helpers with features for managing the GPU MMU. This allows the GPU to access the GEM buffer content for its operation. There is another, larger, set of DRM drivers that use GEM-SHMEM merely as buffer management with no hardware support. These drivers copy the buffer content to the GPU on each page flip. The GPU itself has no direct access. Hardware of this type is usually in servers, behind slow busses (SPI, USB), or provided by firmware (drivers in sysfb/). After some discussion with Boris on the future of GEM-SHMEM, it seems to me that both use cases more and more diverge from each other. The most prominent example is the implementation of gem_prime_import, where both use cases use distinct approaches. So we discussed the introduction of a GEM-UMA helper library for UMA-based hardware. GEM-UMA will remain flexible enough for drivers to extend it for their use case. GEM-SHMEM will become focused on the simple-hardware use case. The benefit for both libraries is that they will be easier to understand and maintain. GEM-SHMEM can be simplified signiifcantly, I think. This RFC series introduces GEM-UMA and converts the UMA-related drivers. Patches 1 and 2 fix issues in GEM-SHMEM, so that we don't duplicate errornous code. Patch 3 copies GEM-SHMEM to GEM-UMA. Patch 4 then does soem obvious cleanups of unnecessary code. Patches 5 to 13 update the drivers that can be converted to GEM-UMA. These changes are just symbol renaming. There are so far no functional differences between the memory managers. A gave GEM-UMA some smoke testing by running virtgpu.
