Tvrtko Ursulin 2d12d3da53 drm: Document fdinfo format specification
Proposal to standardise the fdinfo text format as optionally output by DRM
drivers.

Idea is that a simple but, well defined, spec will enable generic
userspace tools to be written while at the same time avoiding a more heavy
handed approach of adding a mid-layer to DRM.

i915 implements a subset of the spec, everything apart from the memory
stats currently, and a matching intel_gpu_top tool exists.

Open is to see if AMD can migrate to using the proposed GPU utilisation
key-value pairs, or if they are not workable to see whether to go
vendor specific, or if a standardised  alternative can be found which is
workable for both drivers.

Same for the memory utilisation key-value pairs proposal.

v2:
 * Update for removal of name and pid.

v3:
 * 'Drm-driver' tag will be obtained from struct drm_driver.name. (Daniel)

v4:
 * Added drm-engine-capacity- tag.

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.
