Linux 6.15 Intel Xe Driver Enabling PXP HWDRM, Survivability Mode & GPU + VRAM Temperatures


Complementing yesterday's initial set of Intel graphics driver feature patches planned for Linux 6.15, a drm-xe-next pull request was also submitted to DRM-Next containing a lot of new feature code for the modern Xe kernel Direct Rendering Manager driver

One nice feature being merged to Xe for Linux 6.15 is adding support for exposing the GPU package and VRAM temperatures to user-space via the hardware monitoring (HWMON) subsystem. This new pull request also adds mmap() support for PCI memory barrier, integration with the perf PMU, and a new survivability mode. The driver's probe flow is modified such that it enters survivability mode when pcode initialization is incomplete and boot status denotes a failure."
