[RFC 0/5] Per client engine busyness (all aboard the sysfs train!)

[Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com>]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It was quite some time since I last posted this RFC, but recently there has been
some new interest, this time from OpenCL and related customers, so I decided to
give it a quick respin and test the waters.

This time round it has been really hastily rebased since the upstream changed
quite a lot and I have very little confidence it is technically correct. But it
is enough to illustrate a point of what this feature could provide:

In short it enables a "top-like" display for GPU tasks. Or with a screenshot:

Implementation wise we would get a a bunch of per-drm-client-per-engine-class
files in sysfs like:

	# cd /sys/class/drm/card0/clients/
	# tree
	.
	├── 7
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 8
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 9
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	└── enable_stats

I will post the corresponding patch to intel_gpu_top for reference as well.
