[PATCH v3 1/1] drm/panfrost: Replace fdinfo's profiling debugfs knob with sysfs

Wed Mar 6 01:56:36 UTC 2024


Debugfs isn't always available in production builds that try to squeeze
every single byte out of the kernel image, but we still need a way to
toggle the timestamp and cycle counter registers so that jobs can be
profiled for fdinfo's drm engine and cycle calculations.

Drop the debugfs knob and replace it with a sysfs file that accomplishes
the same functionality, and document its ABI in a separate file.

+Description:
+		Get/set drm fdinfo's engine and cycles profiling status.
+		Valid values are:
+		0: Don't enable fdinfo job profiling sources.
+		1: Enable fdinfo job profiling sources, this enables both the GPU's
+		   timestamp and cycle counter registers.

 Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and  `vertex-tiler`.
 `drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.

+Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
