AMD's Kernel Compute Driver "AMDKFD" Can Now Be Enabled On RISC-V


Following all of the Linux kernel graphics driver features merged last week for the Linux 6.16 kernel, sent out this morning were the initial batch of fixes to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) code

At this stage the AMDKFD on RISC-V support just comes down to a small Kconfig patch for allowing this kernel driver to be built on that CPU architecture. In addition to x86_64 Linux, the AMDKFD HSA kernel driver can also be built on ARM64/AArch64, POWER 64-bit, and now RISC-V 64-bit hardware. It's a nice addition such as for those with a SiFive HiFive Premier P550 board for RISC-V with a PCI Express x16 slot.
