[1/1] i915/query: Correlate engine and cpu timestamps with better accuracy

Commit Message

Umesh Nerlige Ramappa April 27, 2021, 9:49 p.m. UTC

Perf measurements rely on CPU and engine timestamps to correlate
events of interest across these time domains. Current mechanisms get
these timestamps separately and the calculated delta between these
timestamps lack enough accuracy.

To improve the accuracy of these time measurements to within a few us,
add a query that returns the engine and cpu timestamps captured as
close to each other as possible.

v2: (Tvrtko)
- document clock reference used
- return cpu timestamp always
- capture cpu time just before lower dword of cs timestamp

v3: (Chris)
- use uncore-rpm
- use __query_cs_timestamp helper

v4: (Lionel)
- Kernel perf subsytem allows users to specify the clock id to be used
  in perf_event_open. This clock id is used by the perf subsystem to
  return the appropriate cpu timestamp in perf events. Similarly, let
  the user pass the clockid to this query so that cpu timestamp
  corresponds to the clock id requested.

v5: (Tvrtko)
- Use normal ktime accessors instead of fast versions
- Add more uApi documentation

v6: (Lionel)
- Move switch out of spinlock

v7: (Chris)
- cs_timestamp is a misnomer, use cs_cycles instead
- return the cs cycle frequency as well in the query

v8:
- Add platform and engine specific checks

v9: (Lionel)
- Return 2 cpu timestamps in the query - captured before and after the
  register read

v10: (Chris)
- Use local_clock() to measure time taken to read lower dword of
  register and return it to user.

v11: (Jani)
- IS_GEN deprecated. User GRAPHICS_VER instead.

Why is this per-engine?  Do we actually expect it to change between
engines?  If so, we may have a problem because Vulkan expects a
unified timestamp domain for all command streamer timestamp queries.

Each engine has its own timestamp register.

I don't think it does : "

Timestamps*may*only be meaningfully compared if they are written by 
commands submitted to the same queue.

Yes but vkGetCalibratedTimestampsEXT() doesn't take a queue or even a
queue family.  Also, VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::timestampPeriod gives a
single timestampPeriod for all queues.  It's possible that Vulkan
messed up real bad there but I thought we did a HW survey at the time
and determined that it was ok.

I know, I brought up the issue recently. See khronos issue 2551.

You might not like the resolution... I did propose to do a rev2 of the 
extension to let the user specify the queue.

We can still do that in the future.

That is fine for us, we should have the same period on all command 
streamers.

I guess this is what I get for not attending the Vulkan SI call
anymore.  Small price to pay....

So the answer is that we just stop exposing the DEVICE time domain as
soon as we start using anything other than RENDER?  Seems a bit rough
but should be doable.

Yeah, I think we'll want to do something if we care about this
extension.  One option would be to make it take a queue family.
Another would be to expose it as one domain per queue family.
Anyway... that's a discussion for another forum.

I guess I've got no problem returning the period as part of this
query.  ANV should probably assert that it's what it expects, though.

I think the API would be more clear if we had separate cpu_timestamp
and cpu_delta fields or something like that.  That or make
cpu_timestamp[1] the end time rather than a delta.  It's weird to have
an array where the first entry is absolute and the second entry is a
delta.

Yeah going forward pls cc: dri-devel on everything touching
gem/core/scheduler and anything related. Review for these is supposed to
be cc: dri-devel, including anything that's in-flight right now.

Thanks, Daniel
