Currently xe sets the guc log level to a verbose level since it's useful
to debug hangs and general development. However the verbose level may
already be too much and affect performance.
Michal Mrozek did some tests with the L0 compute stack for submission
latency with ULLS disabled. Below are the normalized numbers with log
level 3 (the current default) as baseline for each test:
Test \ Log Level 3 0 1 2
----------------------------------------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------
BestWalkerNthCommandListSubmission(CmdListCount=2) 1.00 0.63 0.63 0.96
BestWalkerNthSubmission(KernelCount=2) 1.00 0.62 0.63 0.96
BestWalkerNthSubmissionImmediate(KernelCount=2) 1.00 0.58 0.58 0.85
BestWalkerSubmission 1.00 0.62 0.62 0.96
BestWalkerSubmissionImmediate 1.00 0.63 0.62 0.96
BestWalkerSubmissionImmediateMultiCmdlists(cmdlistCount=2) 1.00 0.58 0.58 0.86
BestWalkerSubmissionImmediateMultiCmdlists(cmdlistCount=4) 1.00 0.70 0.70 0.83
BestWalkerSubmissionImmediateMultiCmdlists(cmdlistCount=8) 1.00 0.53 0.52 0.78
Log level 2 is the first "verbose level" for GuC, where the biggest
difference happens. Keep log level 3 for CONFIG_DRM_XE_DEBUG, but switch
to 1, i.e. GUC_LOG_LEVEL_NON_VERBOSE, for "normal" builds.

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.
