With softpin we allow the userspace to take control over the GPU virtual address space. The new capability is relected by a bump of the minor DRM version. There are a few restrictions for userspace to take into account: 1. The kernel reserves a bit of the address space to implement zero page faulting and mapping of the kernel internal ring buffer. Userspace can query the kernel for the first usable GPU VM address via ETNAVIV_PARAM_SOFTPIN_START_ADDR. 2. We only allow softpin on GPUs, which implement proper process separation via PPAS. If softpin is not available the softpin start address will be set to ~0. 3. Softpin is all or nothing. A submit using softpin must not use any address fixups via relocs.

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.
