[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/3] drm/i915/gt: Compare average group occupancy for RPS evaluation

[Vinay Belgaumkar]

From: Chris Wilson <chris.p.wilson at intel.com>

Currently, we inspect each engine individually and measure the occupancy
of that engine over the last evaluation interval. If that exceeds our
busyness thresholds, we decide to increase the GPU frequency. However,
under a load balancer, we should consider the occupancy of entire engine
groups, as work may be spread out across the group. In doing so, we
prefer wide over fast, power consumption is approximately proportional to
the square of the frequency. However, since the load balancer is greedy,
the first idle engine gets all the work, and preferrentially reuses the
last active engine, under light loads all work is assigned to one
engine, and so that engine appears very busy. But if the work happened
to overlap slightly, the workload would spread across multiple engines,
reducing each individual engine's runtime, and so reducing the rps
contribution, keeping the frequency low. Instead, when considering the
contribution, consider the contribution over the entire engine group
(capacity).
