Extend the uAPI with a new job requirement flag for cycle counters. This requirement is used by userland to indicate that a job requires cycle counters or system timestamp to be propagated. (for use with write value timestamp jobs) We cannot enable cycle counters unconditionally as this would result in an increase of GPU power consumption. As a result, they should be left off unless required by the application. If a job requires cycle counters or system timestamps propagation, we must enable cycle counting before issuing a job and disable it right after the job completes. Since this extends the uAPI and because userland needs a way to advertise features like VK_KHR_shader_clock conditionally, we bumps the driver minor version. v2: - Rework commit message - Squash uAPI changes and implementation in this commit - Simplify changes based on Steven Price comments v3: - Add Steven Price r-b - Fix a codestyle issue Signed-off-by: Mary Guillemard <mary.guillemard@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Tested-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240819080224.24914-3-mary.guillemard@collabora.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
