Panthor Open-Source Driver To Support Many More Arm Mali GPUs In Linux 6.18

([Arm] 6 Hours Ago Panthor DRM Driver)


The open-source Panthor Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver providing the modern kernel graphics driver support for recent Arm Mali GPUs will be supporting a number of additional GPU models with the [1]Linux 6.18 kernel later this year.

Sent out today was the newest batch of "drm-misc-next" changes to queue in DRM-Next until the Linux 6.18 merge window kicks off around early October. Most notable this week is enabling support for additional Arm Mali GPUs within the Panthor driver code.

New support in Panthor with Linux 6.18 will include the Arm Mali G710, G510, G310, Gx15, Gx20, and Gx25 graphics processors. Nice seeing the newer 5th Gen Mali graphics seeing mainline kernel support like the Mali-G725/G925 premium offerings that launched last year. This enablement work was previously covered on Phoronix within [2]Arm Preparing Support For Latest Mali GPUs With Panthor Open-Source Driver .

The Panthor driver for Linux 6.18 is also seeing improved cache flushing.

In addition to the Panthor activity with this week's drm-misc-next pull, the GPUVM code is bringing madvise support to the Intel Xe driver, and the DRM bridge code now supports the Content Protection property. The Content Protection property is used for communicating the HDCP status for connectors.

Hacker's Guide To Cooking:
2 pkg. cream cheese (the mushy white stuff in silver wrappings that doesn't
really come from Philadelphia after all; anyway, about 16 oz.)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (which is more alcohol than vanilla and pretty
strong so this part you *GOTTA* measure)
1/4 cup sugar (but honey works fine too)
8 oz. Cool Whip (the fluffy stuff devoid of nutritional value that you
can squirt all over your friends and lick off...)
"Blend all together until creamy with no lumps." This is where you get to
join(1) all the raw data in a big buffer and then filter it through
merge(1m) with the -thick option, I mean, it starts out ultra lumpy
and icky looking and you have to work hard to mix it. Try an electric
beater if you have a cat(1) that can climb wall(1s) to lick it off
the ceiling(3m).
"Pour into a graham cracker crust..." Aha, the BUGS section at last. You
just happened to have a GCC sitting around under /etc/food, right?
If not, don't panic(8), merely crumble a rand(3m) handful of innocent
GCs into a suitable tempfile and mix in some melted butter.
"...and refrigerate for an hour." Leave the recipe's stdout in a fridge
for 3.6E6 milliseconds while you work on cleaning up stderr, and
by time out your cheesecake will be ready for stdin.
