Thanks for the suggestion. Though Anshuman was saying that rpm_suspend
callback itself is not called in atomic context, Aravind seems to have made
a mistake. Aravind could you please confirm?

In any case there seems to be a way out here, we should work to save off
the registers while suspending in either the idle or suspend callbacks.

I think better to leave GuC out since it's a long process to modify the GuC
API. So let's cancel that.

About xe_pmu_event_read being atomic context, since the registers might be
getting updated while xe_pmu_event_read calls are happening, the only way
out I am seeing is to run a kthread (specifically a delayed work item)
while PMU is active. The work item will run every 10 ms or so and save off
the registers (since we cannot take forcewake in xe_pmu_event_read and read
the registers). So this way we should be able to report register values
which are at most 10 ms old.

Any other ideas here?

Thanks.
