[PATCH 0/6] gpu: nova-core: add NVKV codec
From: Eliot Courtney
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 08:59:23 EST
This series adds support for the NVKV wire format for communicating
with GSP.
Essentially, the format encodes a sequence of calls to some function
f(key, index, value), where value is a [u8], u32, u64, [u32], or a
[u64]. The key is a u16 and the index is a 12 bit integer. The
interpretation of these function calls is per GMCAPI (RPC interface
used in firmwares later than r570). Generally speaking, the function
calls will map to some struct - for example, f(GPU_NAME_STRING_KEY, 0,
b"some gpu") naturally maps to storing a &str with the GPU name.
This series adds a general encoder and decoder that works with the
base formats used ([u8], u32, u64, [u32], or a [u64]) for encode and a
general `Schema` trait for decode. This could be used directly, but
since most messages are struct-like, it's more ergonomic to use some
typed helpers for this declarative use case. So this series adds two
simple macros for encode and decode of structs, plus some general
types and implementations that help with using these.
Future patches will wire this up through the command queue.
This is based on drm-rust-next.
