AMDgpu is AMD's fully open source unified kernel driver for its GPUs on Linux.[2] It takes the form of an in-tree kernel module.
AMDgpu has been fully upstreamed and new developments continue to do so. AMD Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD) is now integrated in this one kernel module.
AMDgpu-pro, still distributed by AMD directly, is somewhat reliably more up-to-date compared to that of kernels shipped in regular operating system distributions.
AMDgpu officially supports cards built upon GCN 1.2 or higher (including new instruction sets such as RDNA1-2).
Though as of 2021[update] support for GCN 1.0/1.1 is incomplete,[3] it can be enabled by a kernel parameter[4][5] and some Linux distributions enabled it by default.[6]
