[igt-dev] [PATCH igt v3] igt/perf_pmu: Use a self-correcting busy pwm

[Chris Wilson]

Convert the busy pwm from using a single calibration pass with a fixed
target into a self-correcting pwm that tries to adjust how long to sleep
on each pwm in order to converge at the target busy %%.

Being self-correcting, it should fare better against the more variable
systems CI presents.

v2: Be fair and equally strict for low/high busy %%
v3: target_idle_us and calculate expected from timing of each individual pass
