Panfrost DRM client usage stats implementation
==============================================

The drm/Panfrost 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:

::
      pos:    0
      flags:  02400002
      mnt_id: 27
      ino:    531
      drm-driver:     panfrost
      drm-client-id:  14
      drm-engine-fragment:    1846584880 ns
      drm-cycles-fragment:    1424359409
      drm-maxfreq-fragment:   799999987 Hz
      drm-curfreq-fragment:   799999987 Hz
      drm-engine-vertex-tiler:        71932239 ns
      drm-cycles-vertex-tiler:        52617357
      drm-maxfreq-vertex-tiler:       799999987 Hz
      drm-curfreq-vertex-tiler:       799999987 Hz
      drm-total-memory:       290 MiB
      drm-shared-memory:      0 MiB
      drm-active-memory:      226 MiB
      drm-resident-memory:    36496 KiB
      drm-purgeable-memory:   128 KiB

Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and  `vertex-tiler`.
`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/panfrost/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling

Where `N` is either `0` or `1`, depending on the desired enablement status.
