drm/Panthor CSF driver¶
Panthor DRM client usage stats implementation¶
The drm/Panthor driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as documented in DRM client usage stats.
Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of the currently possible format options:
- ::
pos: 0 flags: 02400002 mnt_id: 29 ino: 491 drm-driver: panthor drm-client-id: 10 drm-engine-panthor: 111110952750 ns drm-cycles-panthor: 94439687187 drm-maxfreq-panthor: 1000000000 Hz drm-curfreq-panthor: 1000000000 Hz drm-total-memory: 16480 KiB drm-shared-memory: 0 drm-active-memory: 16200 KiB drm-resident-memory: 16480 KiB drm-purgeable-memory: 0
Possible drm-engine- key names are: panthor. drm-curfreq- values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default, because of power saving concerns. fdinfo users and benchmark applications which query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node:
echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panthor/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
Where N is a bit mask where cycle and timestamp sampling are respectively enabled by the first and second bits.
