2 ------------------------
4 - Some polishing of the test infrastructure, for details see:
6 http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/09/more-drmi915-testsuite-infrastructure.html
8 - Haswell support for the DPF tool (tools/intel_l3_parity) and other
11 - Stereo/3D support in testdisplay (Damien).
13 - Support for gen7 gpu perf counters in tools/intel_perf_counters (Kenneth).
15 - Improvements to the VBT decoder (Jani).
17 - New tool to read legacy VGA registers (Ville).
19 - New helpers in the test library to help deal with debugfs files and the new
20 display pipe CRC support (Damien).
22 - Introduction of a proper naming convention for all the testcases, see
23 tests/NAMING-CONVENTION.
25 - As usual tons of new testcases and improvements and bugfixes to existing ones.
27 - The testsuite framework itself has gained some regression tests which can be
28 run at compile-time with "make check".
30 Release 1.4 (2013-09-16)
31 ------------------------
33 - Integration of the gen4+ assembler (Damien).
35 - Start of a new performance analysis tool from Chris Wilson with front-ends for
36 both X11 and plain kms. This uses the perf subsystem and the gpu performance
37 counter kernel patches from Chris.
39 - New register dumper quick_dump from Ben, with lots of work from Damien. This
40 will superseed intel_reg_dumper for newer platforms (which are not yet
41 released) since it will allow us to automatically generate register dumps from
42 the internal xml register specifications.
44 - Tools to access the pletoria of new indirect register access functions on
47 - Framebuffer contents dumper to debug some of the nastier corruption issues.
48 The advantage here is that this bypasses any userspace drivers and so avoids
49 that the corruptions get magically fixed when taking an X screenshot.
51 - Tons of new testcases. Including subtests we are now at roughly 450 tests!
53 - Improvements to the test framework infrastructure. See
54 http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/08/recent-drmi915-testsuite-improvements.html
57 Release 1.3 (2012-08-27)
58 ------------------------
60 - massive improvements to the testsuite
61 - dpf tool for handling l3 remapping on gen7 (Ben)
62 - robustify against wc gtt mappings (Chris)
63 - improvements to the reg_dumper and register read/write tools
66 Release 1.2 (2012-02-09)
67 ------------------------
69 - intel_audio_dump improvements (Wu Fengguang)
70 - buildsystem improvements (Gaetan Nadon)
71 - solaris support (Alan Coopersmith)
72 - massive refactoring of testcases and rendercpy extraction
74 - fixed up intel_reg_read/write for platforms needing forcewake (needs a
75 kernel patch which from 3.3 to work on ivb - Ben Widawsky)
77 Release 1.1 (2011-12-24)
78 ------------------------
80 Improved testsuite, usable for kernel regression testing!
82 Release 1.0 (2009-04-27)
83 ------------------------
86 - miscellaneous userland tools that don't really fit into the 2D driver tree
87 - standalone regression tests for the DRM (make check)
88 - microbenchmarks of the DRM for kernel performance regression testing
