We can use engine busy stats instead of the sampling timer for
better accuracy.
By doing this we replace the stohastic sampling with busyness
metric derived directly from engine activity. This is context
switch interrupt driven, so as accurate as we can get from
software tracking.
As a secondary benefit, we can also not run the sampling timer
in cases only busyness metric is enabled.
v2: Rebase.
v3:
* Rebase, comments.
* Leave engine busyness controls out of workers.
v4: Checkpatch cleanup.
v5: Added comment to pmu_needs_timer change.
v6:
* Rebase.
* Fix style of some comments. (Chris Wilson)
v7: Rebase and commit message update. (Chris Wilson)
v8: Add delayed stats disabling to improve accuracy in face of
CPU hotplug events.
v9: Rebase.
v10: Rebase - i915_modparams.enable_execlists removal.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
