[PATCH V8] drm/xe/uapi: Use hint for guc to set GT frequency

Mrozek, Michal michal.mrozek at intel.com
Mon Feb 17 10:25:16 UTC 2025


>> Allow user to provide a low latency hint. When set, KMD sends a hint to GuC which results in special handling for that process.
>> SLPC will ramp the GT frequency aggressively every time it switches to this process.
>> 
>> We need to enable the use of SLPC Compute strategy during init, but it will apply only to processes that set this bit during process creation.
>> 
>> Improvement with this approach as below:
