            Bug ID: 101182
           Summary: Reading amdgpu_pm_info causes stutter with Linux
                    4.12-rc
           Product: DRI
           Version: DRI git
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/AMDgpu
          Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: haagch@frickel.club

A stutter once wouldn't be so bad, but apps like radeon-profile repeatedly read
this file, so rendering stutters constantly.

You will have a hard time spotting it in the average fps graph, but with my
(still very inaccurate) low-fps patch at
https://github.com/ChristophHaag/mesa-mesa/commit/e097b91a85c85718576589402e075e7f5668e68c
it's very visible that there is at least one frame that's delayed a lot each
time amdgpu_pm_info is read.
The GPU load does give an independent hint that something is wrong though.

To reproduce:
run  glxgears
run  sudo watch --interval=.3 cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info
observe stuttering in glxgears.

RX 480, Linux 4.12-rc2.
I haven't tested 4.11 to confirm, but if I remember correctly, this happens in
mainline since 4.12.

amdgpu_pm_info exposes power statistics now which causes a small delay to
sample the power usage.  If you want to poll the current clocks, there is an
ioctl interface to query this information.

Can this be done asynchronously in the driver so it doesn't impact the
rendering of 3D applications?
