This patch adds a new sysfs event, which will indicate the userland about a GPU reset, and can also provide some information like:
- process ID of the process involved with the GPU reset
- process name of the involved process
- the GPU status info (using flags)
This patch also introduces the first flag of the flags bitmap, which can be appended as and when required.
Why invent something new, rather than using the already existing devcoredump?
I don't think we need (or should encourage/allow) something drm specific when there is already an existing solution used by both drm and non-drm drivers. Userspace should not have to learn to support yet another mechanism to do the same thing.
