The interface is split into common DRM core and driver-specific components. +/// +/// This library provides a C++ wrapper around the core DRM interface, not including +/// any driver-specific ioctls. This library also focuses on modern DRM and intentionally +/// does not provide wrappers for legacy features (which are a no-op on most modern +/// GPU drivers anyways). +/// +/// The kernel exposes a DRM device as a device file, usually located at `/dev/dri/cardX`, and all +/// ioctls are performed on a file descriptor to this device. +/// +/// * Authentication +/// +/// Access to `/dev/dri/cardX` is restricted to the DRM master, or any client that has been +/// granted access. While not all ioctls are restricted, client should use `/dev/dri/renderDXXX` +/// for purely unauthenticated access (such as simple buffer management, compute, etc). +/// +/// Acquiring DRM master happens automatically when the first process opens `/dev/dri/cardX`, but +/// can be explicitly requested as well. DRM master is exclusive, and only one process can be +/// DRM master at a time. +/// +/// If another client wishes to use restricted ioctls, it must send its magic token to +/// the DRM master, which can authenticate the file descriptor. +/// +/// * Graphics Execution Manager +/// +/// The Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) provides an API for memory management in video memory, +/// however in core DRM its functionality is limited to a minimal set of features. +/// +/// A memory object living in video memory is called a GEM object and is identified by a handle. +/// In modern (core) DRM, GEM objects are usually only imported from DMA-BUFs allocated +/// through other APIs (such as GBM, Vulkan, etc.). This is known as "PRIME". +/// +/// However, most drivers will also support "dumb buffers", which are simple linear buffers held +/// in either system memory or video memory, but always accessible through the CPU. +/// +/// * Kernel Mode Setting +/// +/// (TODO) +/// +/// * Sync Objects +/// +/// Sync objects are a relatively recent addition to DRM and are primarily used by the +/// Vulkan WSI and Wayland for explicit synchronization. +/// +/// A sync object can hold one or more DRM fences, which are a kernel object that can be signaled +/// by the GPU when a certain operation has been completed. Fences inside sync objects can be +/// exported to file descriptors called "sync files", which can be used by other APIs (such as +/// Vulkan) to synchronize with the GPU. +/// +/// They can also be used purely CPU-side for synchronization between processes. +/// +/// * Legacy features +/// +/// As said previously, this library intentionally does not provide wrappers for legacy features, +/// however it is a good idea to be aware of their existence. This list is ordered from most +/// relevant to least relevant. +/// +/// 1. The single most relevant feature is legacy modesetting. This was the original way to set +/// display modes, manage CRTCs, etc. and has been superseded all the way back in 2015 by the +/// far superior atomic modesetting, which addresses several severe flaws in the original design. +/// However only recently (around ~2023) has atomic modesetting been stable enough in +/// drivers (specifically NVIDIA) to be used everywhere. Nowdays it is required for explicit +/// synchronization and therefore this library chooses to only support atomic modesetting. +/// +/// 2. Prior to PRIME, sharing GEM objects across processes was done via "flink" and "open". Each +/// GEM object could be given a unique name which other processes could then open. Due to the +/// security implications of this, it should never be used unless legacy API require it. +/// +/// 3. Next to GEM there is also the Translation Table Maps (TTM) memory manager. The user-facing +/// API was deemed way too complex, as it tried to unify various memory constellations into a +/// single interface. While some drivers still use TTM internally, GEM acts as a common interface +/// and should be used instead (see https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-mm.html). +/// +/// 4. In the distant past, GPU context management, draw areas, AGP maintenance and GPU locking +/// were all handled by userspace (also known as userspace mode settings / UMS). In v6.8-rc1 +/// these were finally retired from the kernel codebase entirely, although they haven't had +/// an implementation in decades anyways (see 184dcdc). +/// +/// * Further reading +/// +/// Unfortunately documentation for DRM is kind of all over the place. Crucial information is +/// often hidden in individual commit messages and requires reading kernel code to understand. +/// +/// A good starting point is the wikipedia page: +/// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager +/// +/// For more in-depth information, the kernel documentation is a good resource: +/// https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/gpu/index.html +/// + +/// +/// * API Usage +/// +/// Using the C++ API is fairly straightforward. +/// +/// Components of the DRM API are split into their own header files, each in their own namespace. +/// +/// Each header will have a large comment block at the top explaining the concept of the +/// component and giving essential information about its usage, such that individual methods +/// aren't cluttered with documentation. +/// +/// Most methods utilize ioctls and will throw drm::ioctl::Exception on failure. This is always +/// documented in the class comment block and applies for all methods unless otherwise specified +/// or annotated with `noexcept`. +/// +/// Should a DRM capability be required for a certain feature, this will also be documented in the +/// class comment block, unless only a single method requires it, in which case it will be +/// documented in the method accordingly. +/// +/// Most classes cannot be copied, however there are exceptions (such as SyncObject) in which a +/// copy constructor/operator is provided. Please note that these likely utilize ioctls and +/// may throw an exception on failure. +/// +/// Occasionally strictly non-virtual inheritance is used to minimize code duplication and +/// macros and type definitions are used to shorten getters and integer types. +/// +/// * Requirements +/// +/// The majority of the DRM API requires a Linux kernel version of at least (TODO), and individual +/// components requiring an even newer version are documented accordingly (FIXME). +/// +/// This library requires a C++ compiler capable of C++20 or newer. +/// + +#include "drm++/helper.hpp" + +namespace drm { + +/// +/// DRM device node (e.g. `/dev/dri/cardX`). +/// +/// @throws drm::ioctl::Exception on failure +/// +class Device { +public: + /// Wrap around an existing file descriptor, taking ownership and closing it on destruction. + /// @throws std::invalid_argument if fd is invalid + Device(int fd); + + /// Attempt to acquire DRM master on the device.
