[AMD Official Use Only]
The format is simple:
<ringname><index>: <XXX.XX> %
we also have entries for the memory mapped:
mem <ttm pool> : <size> KiB
On my submission https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2021-May/063149.html I added a python script to print out the info. It has a CPU usage lower that
top, for example.
To be absolutely honest, I agree that there is an overhead, but It might not be as much as you fear.

Could you paste an example of your format? Standardized fdinfo sounds good to me in principle. But I would also like people to look at the procfs proposal from Chris, - link to which I have pasted elsewhere in the thread. Only potential issue with fdinfo I see at the moment is a bit of an extra cost in DRM client discovery (compared to my sysfs series and also procfs RFC from Chris). It would require reading all processes (well threads, then maybe aggregating threads into parent processes), all fd symlinks, and doing a stat on them to figure out which ones are DRM devices. Btw is DRM_MAJOR 226 consider uapi? I don't see it in uapi headers. > I’d really like to have the process managers tools display GPU usage > regardless of what vendor is installed. Definitely.
