Although register tuning settings are generally implemented via the
workaround infrastructure, it turns out that the DRAW_WATERMARK register
is not properly saved/restored by hardware around power events (i.e.,
RC6 entry) so updates to the value cannot be applied in the usual
manner. New workaround Wa_16014892111 informs us that any tuning
updates to this register must instead be applied via an INDIRECT_CTX
batch buffer. This will ensure that the necessary value is re-applied
when a context begins running, even if an RC6 entry had wiped the
register back to hardware defaults since the last context ran.

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.
