Similar motivation to other similar recent attempt[1].  But with an
attempt to have some shared code for this.  As well as documentation.

It is probably a bit UMA-centric, I guess devices with VRAM might want
some placement stats as well.  But this seems like a reasonable start.

Basic gputop support: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/116236/
And already nvtop support: https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop/pull/204

On a related topic, I'm wondering if it would make sense to report
some more global things (temp, freq, etc) via fdinfo?  Some of this,
tools like nvtop could get by trawling sysfs or other driver specific
ways.  But maybe it makes sense to have these sort of things reported
in a standardized way (even though they aren't really per-drm_file)

I think that's a bit much layering violation, we'd essentially have to
reinvent the hwmon sysfs uapi in fdinfo. Not really a business I want to
be in :-)

I guess this is true for temp (where there are thermal zones with
potentially multiple temp sensors.. but I'm still digging my way thru
the thermal_cooling_device stuff)

It is slightly ugly. All thermal zones and cooling devices are virtual
devices (so, even no connection to the particular tsens device). One
can either enumerate them by checking
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneN/type or enumerate them through
/sys/class/hwmon. For cooling devices again the only enumeration is
through /sys/class/thermal/cooling_deviceN/type.

Probably it should be possible to push cooling devices and thermal
zones under corresponding providers. However I do not know if there is
a good way to correlate cooling device (ideally a part of GPU) to the
thermal_zone (which in our case is provided by tsens / temp_alarm
rather than GPU itself).


But what about freq?  I think, esp for cases where some "fw thing" is
controlling the freq we end up needing to use gpu counters to measure
the freq.

For the freq it is slightly easier: /sys/class/devfreq/*, devices are
registered under proper parent (IOW, GPU). So one can read
/sys/class/devfreq/3d00000.gpu/cur_freq or
/sys/bus/platform/devices/3d00000.gpu/devfreq/3d00000.gpu/cur_freq.

However because of the components usage, there is no link from
/sys/class/drm/card0
(/sys/devices/platform/soc@0/ae00000.display-subsystem/ae01000.display-controller/drm/card0)
to /sys/devices/platform/soc@0/3d00000.gpu, the GPU unit.

Getting all these items together in a platform-independent way would
be definitely an important but complex topic.

But I don't believe any of the pci gpu's use devfreq ;-)

And also, you can't expect the CPU to actually know the freq when fw
is the one controlling freq.  We can, currently, have a reasonable
approximation from devfreq but that stops if IFPC is implemented.  And
other GPUs have even less direct control.  So freq is a thing that I
don't think we should try to get from "common frameworks"

I think it might be useful to add another passive devfreq governor type for external frequencies. This way we can use the same interface to export non-CPU-controlled frequencies.

What might be needed is better glue to go from the fd or fdinfo to the
right hw device and then crawl around the hwmon in sysfs automatically. I
would not be surprised at all if we really suck on this, probably more
likely on SoC than pci gpus where at least everything should be under the
main pci sysfs device.

yeah, I *think* userspace would have to look at /proc/device-tree to
find the cooling device(s) associated with the gpu.. at least I don't
see a straightforward way to figure it out just for sysfs
