[Intel-gfx] Patches for performance improvement

2013-08-24 Thread Kannan, Vandana
Hi, For sprite performance improvement, instead of the patch "drm/i915: Don't wait for vblank for sprite plane flips", we made use of Chris Wilson's patches from "RFC asynchronous vblank tasks" and verified that it gives the expected performance boost. Chris's patches ha

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Tweak RPS thresholds to more aggressively downclock

2013-08-24 Thread Chris Wilson
After applying wait-boost we often find ourselves stuck at higher clocks than required. The current threshold value requires the GPU to be continuously and completely idle for 313ms before it is dropped by one bin. Conversely, we require the GPU to be busy for an average of 90% over a 84ms period b

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Boost RPS frequency for CPU stalls

2013-08-24 Thread Chris Wilson
If we encounter a situation where the CPU blocks waiting for results from the GPU, give the GPU a kick to boost its the frequency. This should work to reduce user interface stalls and to quickly promote mesa to high frequencies - but the cost is that our requested frequency stalls high (as we do n

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] i915: Update VGA arbiter support for newer devices

2013-08-24 Thread Alex Williamson
This is intended to add VGA arbiter support for Intel HD graphics on Core processors. The old GMCH registers no longer exist, so even though it appears that i915 participates in VGA arbitration, it doesn't work. On Intel HD graphics we already attempt to disable VGA regions of the device. This m
