Alistair Popple 8f187163eb nouveau/svm: implement atomic SVM access 
Some NVIDIA GPUs do not support direct atomic access to system memory via
PCIe.  Instead this must be emulated by granting the GPU exclusive access
to the memory.  This is achieved by replacing CPU page table entries with
special swap entries that fault on userspace access.

The driver then grants the GPU permission to update the page undergoing
atomic access via the GPU page tables.  When CPU access to the page is
required a CPU fault is raised which calls into the device driver via MMU
notifiers to revoke the atomic access.  The original page table entries
are then restored allowing CPU access to proceed.

README 

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.
