For framebuffers in I/O and system memory, add macros that set struct fb_ops to the respective callback functions. For deferred I/O, add macros that generate callback functions with damage handling. Add initializer macros that set struct fb_ops to the generated callbacks. These macros can remove a lot boilerplate code from fbdev drivers. The drivers are supposed to use the macro that is required for its framebuffer. Each macro is split into smaller helpers, so that drivers with non-standard callbacks can pick and customize callbacks as needed. There are individual helper macros for read/write, mmap and drawing. v5: * fix whitespace errors (Jingfeng) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230530151228.22979-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
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.
