VCPI is only sort of the correct term here, originally the majority of this code simply referred to timeslots vaguely as "slots" - and since I started working on it and adding atomic functionality, the name "VCPI slots" has been used to represent time slots. Now that we actually have consistent access to the DisplayPort spec thanks to VESA, I now know this isn't actually the proper term - as the specification refers to these as time slots. Since we're trying to make this code as easy to figure out as possible, let's take this opportunity to correct this nomenclature and call them by their proper name - timeslots. Likewise, we rename various functions appropriately, along with replacing references in the kernel documentation and various debugging messages. It's important to note that this patch series leaves the legacy MST code untouched for the most part, which is fine since we'll be removing it soon anyhow. There should be no functional changes in this series. v2: * Add note that Wayne Lin from AMD suggested regarding slots being between the source DP Tx and the immediate downstream DP Rx Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Cc: Wayne Lin <Wayne.Lin@amd.com> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fangzhi Zuo <Jerry.Zuo@amd.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Sean Paul <sean@poorly.run> Acked-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220817193847.557945-5-lyude@redhat.com
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.
