drm: Add CRTC background color property

2026-03-18T09:59:57+00:00

Some display controllers can be hardware programmed to show non-black colors for pixels that are either not covered by any plane or are exposed through transparent regions of higher planes. This feature can help reduce memory bandwidth usage, e.g. in compositors managing a UI with a solid background color while using smaller planes to render the remaining content. To support this capability, introduce the BACKGROUND_COLOR standard DRM mode property, which can be attached to a CRTC through the drm_crtc_attach_background_color_property() helper function. Additionally, define a 64-bit ARGB format value to be built with the help of a couple of dedicated DRM_ARGB64_PREP*() helpers. Individual color components can be extracted with desired precision using the corresponding DRM_ARGB64_GET*() macros. Co-developed-by: Matt Roper Signed-off-by: Matt Roper Reviewed-by: Nícolas F. R.

drm/drm_crtc: Introduce sharpness strength property

2025-10-30T13:38:04+00:00

Introduce a new crtc property "SHARPNESS_STRENGTH" that allows the user to set the intensity so as to get the sharpness effect. The value of this property can be set from 0-255. It is useful in scenario when the output is blurry and user want to sharpen the pixels. User can increase/decrease the sharpness level depending on the content displayed. v2: Rename crtc property variable [Arun] Add modeset detail in uapi doc[Uma] v3: Fix build issue v4: Modify the subject line[Ankit] Signed-off-by: Nemesa Garg Reviewed-by: Ankit Nautiyal Tested-by: Adarsh G M Acked-by: Simona Vetter Link: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/7689 Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251028120747.3027332-2-ankit.k.nautiyal@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

drm/crtc: Drop no_vblank bit field

2025-09-30T09:55:31+00:00

The no_vblank field in drm_crtc_state is defined as a bit-field with a single bit. This will create a syntax issue with the macros we'll introduce next, and most other booleans but the *_changed ones in drm_crtc_state do not use a bit field anyway. Let's drop it.

drm/crtc: Introduce drmm_crtc_init_with_planes

2022-07-13T08:46:05+00:00

The DRM-managed function to register a CRTC is drmm_crtc_alloc_with_planes(), which will allocate the underlying structure and initialisation the CRTC. However, we might want to separate the structure creation and the CRTC initialisation, for example if the structure is shared across multiple DRM entities, for example an encoder and a connector. Let's create an helper to only initialise a CRTC that would be passed as an argument.
