Renesas SH7722 graphics driver
==============================
This driver supports the SH7722 SoC from Renesas Solutions Corp. controlling
- LCDC (LCD Controller) for display
- BEU (Blit Engine Unit) for blending of planes
- TDG (2D Graphics) for accelerated operations
It's using a kernel device called sh7722gfx which mainly does interrupt handling.
The 2D Graphics unit supports display lists in RAM and reads them via DMA. These
lists consist of double word entries, first word designates a register, second
word contains the data to write. Once a list has been completely processed, the
hardware generates an interrupt to start the next list.
The kernel module allocates a ring buffer for usage as a display list. The user
space prepares a block of commands and puts it into the ring buffer. If the hardware
is idle, it's started directly from user space. When a DMA completion interrupt
is received, the next block of commands is started from kernel space. If the
hardware is still running the previous block, new commands are appended to the
next one. The driver is designed to run without any locking or system calls. Only
a few interrupts happen over time depending on the operations. The hardware is not
getting idle, while commands are being sent to keep it busy. There's just a minimal
gap which is the interrupt handler setting the new start address and kicking the
hardware again.
To build the kernel module use "make -f Makefile.kernel". You might want to set
the variables KERNEL_SOURCE, KERNEL_BUILD (if != KERNEL_SOURCE), KERNEL_VERSION
and DESTDIR.
To run the driver you need the DevMem system module using the directfbrc.sh7722
file (renamed to directfbrc in $prefix/etc).

Statistics
----------
The statistics at the end are more valuable when looking at one case at a time:
Fill Rectangle 5.834 secs (* 69.647 MPixel/sec) [ 4%]
(*) SH7722/BLT: 16 starts, 16 done, 16 interrupts, 4 wait_idle, 2 wait_next, 11 idle
(*) SH7722/BLT: 74840 words, 4677 words/start, 6803 words/idle, 1 starts/idle
This means that while the FillRectangle() benchmark was running, the hardware
didn't get idle, which is obvious when running the benchmark for just 10 ms:
Fill Rectangle 0.191 secs (* 68.624 MPixel/sec) [ 10%]
(*) SH7722/BLT: 13 starts, 13 done, 13 interrupts, 4 wait_idle, 0 wait_next, 11 idle
(*) SH7722/BLT: 2840 words, 218 words/start, 258 words/idle, 1 starts/idle
See? The same number of times becoming idle, but a few less interrupts. Don't
worry about the 191 ms the benchmark needed to complete, after 10 ms of stuffing
the display list, we need to wait until the hardware is done before measuring
the time it took and calculating the result.
Here's FillSpans() which as opposed to FillRectangle() does a lot of small commands:
Fill Spans 3.028 secs (* 61.467 MPixel/sec) [ 34%]
(*) SH7722/BLT: 245 starts, 245 done, 245 interrupts, 3 wait_idle, 185 wait_next, 22 idle
(*) SH7722/BLT: 5828128 words, 23788 words/start, 264914 words/idle, 11 starts/idle
