The big batch of Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) kernel graphics/display driver updates for the [1]Linux 6.10 merge window were sent out today that includes the new "Panthor" driver for newer ARM Mali/Immortalis graphics processors and the usual hearty assortment of Intel and AMD graphics driver changes.
The new driver this cycle is the [2]Panthor DRM driver for supporting newer Arm Mali GPUs that reliy on the firmware-based Command Stream Frontend (CSF). The new Arm Mali/Immortalis graphics are now supported by the Linux 6.10 Panthor driver and go along with the Mesa code for user-space support.
Linux 6.10 DRM updates also include many Intel changes such as [3]Adaptive Sync SDP support , [4]Intel A580E and A750E PCI graphics IDs added for those DG2/Alchemist parts, [5]low latency hinting for boosting the GT frequency for compute workloads, initial display support for Lunar Lake Xe2 graphics, and other changes to the Xe and i915 drivers. The open-source Intel driver code continues with a lot of preparations for Xe2 / Lunar Lake as the next big hardware milestone.
Over on the AMDGPU driver side is SMU 14.0.1 and 14.0.2 IP support, reporting VCN block activity via sysfs, RDNA3+ fixes, initial support for mapping kernel queues via the MES scheduler, fixing vRAM accounting, various AMDKFD compute driver enhancements, and other changes like [6]FreeSync fixes .
The DRM code also brings better placement for TTM buffer objects in idle/busy handling, [7]the initial DRM panic handler , the Qualcomm MSM driver now supports the Snapdragon X Elite platform, and other changes.
See the [8]DRM pull request for the lengthy list of patches going into Linux 6.10.
