[Intel-gfx] [RFC 4/4] drm/i915/perf: add interrupt enabling parameter

Wed Dec 19 14:37:47 UTC 2018


This let's the application choose to be driven by the interrupt
mechanism of the HW. In conjuction with long periods for checks for
the availability of data on the CPU, this can reduce the CPU load when
doing capture of OA data.
