mainlining shenanigans
60548c554b
RPS provides a feedback loop where we use the load during the previous evaluation interval to decide whether to up or down clock the GPU frequency. Our responsiveness is split into 3 regimes, a high and low plateau with the intent to keep the gpu clocked high to cover occasional stalls under high load, and low despite occasional glitches under steady low load, and inbetween. However, we run into situations like kodi where we want to stay at low power (video decoding is done efficiently inside the fixed function HW and doesn't need high clocks even for high bitrate streams), but just occasionally the pipeline is more complex than a video decode and we need a smidgen of extra GPU power to present on time. In the high power regime, we sample at sub frame intervals with a bias to upclocking, and conversely at low power we sample over a few frames worth to provide what we consider to be the right levels of responsiveness respectively. At low power, we more or less expect to be kicked out to high power at the start of a busy sequence by waitboosting. Prior to commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
