Graphics APIs like OpenGL 4.4 and Vulkan require the graphics driver to provide coherent graphics memory, meaning that the GPU sees any content written to the coherent memory on the next GPU operation that touches that memory, and the CPU sees any content written by the GPU to that memory immediately after any fence object trailing the GPU operation is signaled. Paravirtual drivers that otherwise require explicit synchronization needs to do this by hooking up dirty tracking to pagefault handlers and buffer object validation. Provide mm helpers needed for this and that also allow for huge pmd- and pud entries (patch 1-3), and the associated vmwgfx code (patch 4-7). The code has been tested and exercised by a tailored version of mesa where we disable all explicit synchronization and assume graphics memory is coherent. The performance loss varies of course; a typical number is around 5%.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
