This is a collection of tools for development and testing of the Intel DRM
driver. There are many macro-level test suites that get used against our
driver, including xtest, rendercheck, piglit, and oglconform, but failures
from those can be difficult to track down to kernel changes, and many require
complicated build procedures or specific testing environments to get useful
results.
Thus, intel-graphics-tools was a project I started to collect some low-level
tools I intended to build. There are 3 subdirectories:
benchmarks/
This should be a collection of useful microbenchmarks. The hope is
that people can use these to tune some pieces of DRM code in relevant
ways.
The benchmarks require KMS to be enabled. When run with an X Server
running, they must be run as root to avoid the authentication
requirement.
tests/
This is a set of automated tests to run against the DRM to validate
changes. Hopefully this can cover the relevant cases we need to
worry about, including backwards compatibility.
To run the tests, do "sudo make check" from this directory with
KMS enabled.
tools/
This is a collection of debugging tools that had previously been
built with the 2D driver but not shipped. Some distros were hacking
up the 2D build to ship them. Instead, here's a separate package for
people debugging the driver.
These tools generally must be run as root.
