2025-12-08Documentation/gpu: Add new glossary entries from UMRRodrigo Siqueira
When using UMR, a dashboard is available that displays the CPC, CPF, CPG, TCP, and UTCL utilization. This commit introduces the meanings of those acronyms (and others) to the glossary to improve the comprehension of the UMR dashboard.

2025-05-13Documentation/gpu: Disambiguate SPI termBagas Sanjaya
Documentation/userspace-api/media/glossary.rst:170: WARNING: duplicate term description of SPI, other instance in gpu/amdgpu/amdgpu-glossary That's because SPI of amdgpu (Shader Processor Input) shares the same global glossary term as SPI of media subsystem (which is Serial Peripheral Interface Bus). Disambiguate the former from the latter to fix the warning. Note that adding context qualifiers in the term is strictly necessary in order to make Sphinx happy.
