Mostly just a rebase on a more recent nightly, except for an update to how POLLIN events are reported to reduce the CPU overhead that was otherwise seen while running gputop. The problem seen with poll was largely a fault with gputop having multiple redundant 200ms, but out-of-phase, timers tracked in its mainloop resulting in excessive poll wake ups due to timeouts. This was fixed, but still it highlighted that the per-fd code that runs after a poll wait wakes (regardless of the cause of the wake up) can easily become hot and i915 mmio reads here can quickly jump to the top of a cpu profile. The main value of the i915-perf poll implementation is for throttling more than for having a quick notification of new data, so it works nicely to only rely on the hrtimer callback that's polling for new data to be the thing that flags POLLIN events and check for that after the wait without any mmio. Just to plug gputop as a tool for visualising these metrics with, I'm now automatically publishing a demo of the interface via Travis to http://gputop.github.io which is also usable with local targets if you point a browser at E.g.: http://gputop.github.io?target=localhost while you have the gputop server running. Apologies that currently the demo site on its own (not connected to real hardware) doesn't show much since it doesn't have any fake metric values to graph, though it is possible to at least browse the different platform metric sets and selecting individual counters will show the description + normalization equation. Having the web UI hosted on github hopefully lowers the bar to trying it out since it avoids needing to set up Emscripten first as a build dependency.
