The vblank timer simulates a vblank interrupt for hardware without
support. Rate-limits the display update frequency.
DRM drivers for hardware without vblank support apply display updates
ASAP. A vblank event informs DRM clients of the completed update.
Userspace compositors immediately schedule the next update, which
creates significant load on virtualization outputs. Display updates
are usually fast on virtualization outputs, as their framebuffers are
in regular system memory and there's no hardware vblank interrupt to
throttle the update rate.
The vblank timer is a HR timer that signals the vblank in software.
It limits the update frequency of a DRM driver similar to a hardware
vblank interrupt. The timer is not synchronized to the actual vblank
interval of the display.
The code has been adopted from vkms, which added the funtionality

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 reStructuredText 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.
