The drm-stats fdinfo tags made available to user space are drm-engine, drm-cycles, drm-max-freq and drm-curfreq, one per job slot. This deviates from standard practice in other DRM drivers, where a single set of key:value pairs is provided for the whole render engine. However, Panfrost has separate queues for fragment and vertex/tiler jobs, so a decision was made to calculate bus cycles and workload times separately. Maximum operating frequency is calculated at devfreq initialisation time. Current frequency is made available to user space because nvtop uses it when performing engine usage calculations. It is important to bear in mind that both GPU cycle and kernel time numbers provided are at best rough estimations, and always reported in excess from the actual figure because of two reasons: - Excess time because of the delay between the end of a job processing, the subsequent job IRQ and the actual time of the sample. - Time spent in the engine queue waiting for the GPU to pick up the next job. To avoid race conditions during enablement/disabling, a reference counting mechanism was introduced, and a job flag that tells us whether a given job increased the refcount. This is necessary, because user space can toggle cycle counting through a debugfs file, and a given job might have been in flight by the time cycle counting was disabled. The main goal of the debugfs cycle counter knob is letting tools like nvtop or IGT's gputop switch it at any time, to avoid power waste in case no engine usage measuring is necessary. Also add a documentation file explaining the possible values for fdinfo's engine keystrings and Panfrost-specific drm-curfreq-<keystr> pairs.
