The compute shader dispatch interface is pretty simple -- just pass in
the regs that userspace has passed us, with no CLs to run. However,
with no CL to run it means that we need to do manual cache flushing of
the L2 after the HW execution completes (for SSBO, atomic, and
image_load_store writes that are the output of compute shaders).
This doesn't yet expose the L2 cache's ability to have a region of the
address space not write back to memory (which could be used for
shared_var storage).
So far, the Mesa side has been tested on V3D v4.2 simpenrose (passing
the ES31 tests), and on the kernel side on 7278 (failing atomic
compswap tests in a way that doesn't reproduce on simpenrose).
v2: Fix excessive allocation for the clean_job (reported by Dan
Carpenter). Keep refs on jobs until clean_job is finished, to
avoid spurious MMU errors if the output BOs are freed by userspace
before L2 cleaning is finished.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
