Panthor DRM client usage stats implementation
==============================================

The drm/Panthor driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.

Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of
the currently possible format options:

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.

Possible `panthor-*-memory` keys are: `active` and `resident`.
These values convey the sizes of the internal driver-owned shmem BO's that
aren't exposed to user-space through a DRM handle, like queue ring buffers,
sync object arrays and heap chunks. Because they are all allocated and pinned
at creation time, only `panthor-resident-memory` is necessary to tell us their
size. `panthor-active-memory` shows the size of kernel BO's associated with
VM's and groups currently being scheduled for execution by the GPU.
