[PATCH 3/3] drm/i915/perf: add interrupt enabling parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.g.landwerlin@xxxxxxxxx>

This let's the application choose to be driven by the interrupt
mechanism of the HW. In conjunction with long periods for checks for
the availability of data on the CPU, this can reduce the CPU load when
doing capture of OA data.

v2: Version the new parameter (Joonas)
v3: Rebase (Umesh)
v4: Disable hrtimer if poll oa period is zero
