Paulo Zanoni fd7d6c5c8f drm/i915: enable FBC on gen9+ too
Gen9+ platforms have been seeing a lot of screen flickerings and
underruns, so I never felt comfortable in enabling FBC on these
platforms since I didn't want to throw yet another feature on top of
the already complex problem. We now have code that automatically
disables FBC if we ever get an underrun, and the screen flickerings
seem to be mostly gone, so it may be a good time to try to finally
enable FBC by default on the newer platforms.

Besides, BDW FBC has been working fine over the year, which gives me a
little more confidence now.

For a little more information, please refer to commit a98ee79317
("drm/i915/fbc: enable FBC by default on HSW and BDW").

v2: Enable not only on SKL, but for everything new (Daniel).
v3: Rebase after the intel_sanitize_fbc_option() change.
v4: New rebase after 8 months, drop expired R-B tags.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
