[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/3] Add (internal) MESA_query_timestamp extension to anv/radv

[Keith Packard]

This extension fetches the current GPU timestamp from the hardware,
just like the OpenGL API glGetInteger64v(GL_TIMESTAMP, &timestamp)
function.

I need this to correlate GPU and CPU timestamps for the
GOOGLE_display_timing extension, but I think it will be useful for
applications as well.

I'm not sure this is exactly the API we need for this; it might be
better for it to return *two* timestamps, a GPU and a CPU one which
were as closely correlated as possible down in the kernel.

The kernel APIs that this calls on anv and radv don't do that, so I
didn't want to pretend to offer functionality I couldn't actually
supply.

Suggestions on what to do here are welcome!
