Gerd Hoffmann dc0b764a7c qxl: alloc & use shadow for dumb buffers 
commit 62676d10b4 upstream.

This patch changes the way the primary surface is used for dumb
framebuffers.  Instead of configuring the bo itself as primary surface
a shadow bo is created and used instead.  Framebuffers can share the
shadow bo in case they have the same format and resolution.

On atomic plane updates we don't have to update the primary surface in
case we pageflip from one framebuffer to another framebuffer which
shares the same shadow.  This in turn avoids the flicker caused by the
primary-destroy + primary-create cycle, which is very annonying when
running wayland on qxl.

The qxl driver never actually writes to the shadow bo.  It sends qxl
blit commands which update it though, and the spice server might
actually execute them (and thereby write to the shadow) in case the
local rendering is kicked for some reason.  This happens for example in
case qemu is asked to write out a dump of the guest display (screendump
monitor command).

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
