From: Sourab Gupta <sourab.gupta@xxxxxxxxx> This series adds framework for collection of gpu performance metrics associated with the command stream of a particular engine. These metrics include OA reports, timestamps, mmio metrics, etc. These metrics are are collected around batchbuffer boundaries. This work utilizes the underlying infrastructure introduced in Robert Bragg's patches for collecting periodic OA counter snapshots (based on Haswell): https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-April/093206.html This patch set is based on Gen8+ version of Robert's patches which can be found here: https://github.com/rib/linux/tree/wip/rib/oa-2016-05-05-nightly These are not yet individually floated in the mailing list, which I hope doesn't lead to any significant loss of clarity in order to review the work proposed in this patch series. Compared to last series I floated earlier, (https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-April/093645.html), this series incorporates the following changes/fixes, besides rebasing on Robert's latest work (on a later nightly): * Based on Chris's suggestion, I have tried experimenting with using the cross timestamp framework for the purpose of retrieving tightly coupled device/system timestamps. In our case, this framework enables us to have correlated pairs of gpu+system time which can be used over a period of time to correct the frequency of timestamp clock, and thus enable to accurately send system time (_MONO_RAW) as requested to the userspace. The results are generally observed to quite better with the use of cross timestamps and the frequency delta gradually tapers down to 0 with increasing correction periods. The use of cross timestamp framework though requires us to have clockcounter/timecounter abstraction for the timestamp clocksource, and further requires few changes in the kernel timekeeping/clocksource code. I am looking for feedback on the use of this framework and the changes involved.
