In a perfect world we would be able to read GPU registers of interest via the command stream with a 'read-register' command/package. For perf counters it is a must to read them synchronized with the GPU to put the values in relation to a draw command. As Vivante GPUs do not provide this functionality we need to emulate it in software. We need to support three different kind of perf register types: 1) normal register This is the easierst case where we can simply read the register and we are done. 2) debug register We need to configure the mux register and then read the debug register value. 3) pipeline register We need to 'iterate' over all pixel pipes and sum up the values. The 'iteration' is done by select the pipe of interest via HI_CLOCK_CONTROL_DEBUG_PIXEL_PIPE. There is also need to configure the mux register. Allowing the userspace to do it all by its own feels quite error prone and not future-proof. Thats why the kernel exports all performance domains and their signals to the userspace via two new ioctls. So the kernel knows all performance counters and how to sample them. At the moment all performacne domains and signals get exported to all gpu pipe types, but that can be changed in follow-up patches. struct drm_etnaviv_gem_submit was extended to include so-called performance monitor requests (pmrs). A request defines what domain and signal should be sampled (pre/post draw cmdbuffer) and where to store the result.
