Hi,
I am the developer of MangoHud[1], a Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for
monitoring FPS / temperatures / CPU/GPU load and more.
I would like to add support for i915 (and xe in the future) but I am
currently unable to do this easily because not everything I need is
exposed directly to non-root users. Namely:
* Engine business (RCS)
* CPU, iGPU and dGPU power usage
* IMC bandwith (nice to have but not mandatory)
This is a problem because it would require us to ship a setuid binary to
poll these metrics for the overlay (we can't run games as root).
For your information, this is Intel-specific as AMD and NVIDIA are
exposing these values directly. I understand the security concerns, but
we are not asking for super precise information (1% accuracy is perfect).
Can we work together on this, what are your thoughts?
Thanks for your consideration.
