[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v7 3/3] drm/i915: Implement I915_PERF_ADD/REMOVE_CONFIG interface

Wed Jul 26 11:28:35 UTC 2017

0x2b04 - what is the setting for this register in the kernel? It is a debug register and we would like to control it too

<0x91B8,0x91C8> - these are not simple counters only - a couple of bits are used to choose the right event to measure, so we need read/write access

Regards,
S.

Adding Marek and Sebastian for Perf config register whitelist expertise :) Please comment the previous Lionel's message (Tuesday, July 25, 2017 6:04 PM).

As for 0x2b00, it isn't included, note the different bracket (exclusive range).

Regards,
Andrzej

Thanks for the list!

0x2b00 & 0x2b04 are managed by the kernel, I don't think we should let userspace touch those at the same time.
This could only lead to painful debug when a bug appears.

  We should be good on the flex registers.

Looking at the internal code base, I can't see anything using those registers.
We have the kernel program GDT_CHICKEN_BITS (0x9840) to enable NOA.
If that's all we're doing from userspace, we can probably let the kernel do it.

Those should be in (HSW specific).

> <0xD04,0xD2C>, 0xE180 					mux

0xe180 is named HALF_SLICE_CHICKEN2 and touched by the kernel.
Would it be possible to provide some explanation as to why it's modified?
I'm concerned we're going to break something if we touch it from userspace, potentially dropping what the kernel put in.

> <0x182300,0x1823A4> 						mux

Should be in (CHV specific).

> 0x20CC 								mux

Can you expand why we need this?
I don't see any internal configs using it.

> <0x91B8,0x91C8> 						mux

I guess we can whitelist those.
Again, I can't see anyone actually writing them, just reading.
