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
