Mark Janes 0f4143ec37 intel: Print GPU timing data based on INTEL_MEASURE
This infrastructure collects GPU timestamps over common intervals, and
generates a CSV report to show how long rendering took.  The overhead
of collection is limited to the flushing that is required at the
interval boundaries for accurate timestamps.

By default, timing data is sent to stderr.  To direct output to a
file:
 INTEL_MEASURE=file=/tmp/measure.csv {workload}

To begin capturing timestamps at a particular frame:
 INTEL_MEASURE=file=/tmp/measure.csv,start=15 {workload}

To capture only 23 frames:
 INTEL_MEASURE=count=23 {workload}

To capture frames 15-37, stopping before frame 38:
 INTEL_MEASURE=start=15,count=23 {workload}

Designate an asynchronous control file with:
 INTEL_MEASURE=control=path/to/control.fifo {workload}

As the workload runs, enable capture for 5 frames with:

 $ echo 5 > path/to/control.fifo

Enable unbounded capture:

 $ echo -1 > path/to/control.fifo

and disable with:

 $ echo 0 > path/to/control.fifo

Select the boundaries of each snapshot with:
 INTEL_MEASURE=draw  : DEFAULT - Collects timings for every render
 INTEL_MEASURE=rt    : Collects timings when the render target changes
 INTEL_MEASURE=batch : Collects timings when batches are submitted
 INTEL_MEASURE=frame : Collects timings at frame boundaries

With INTEL_MEASURE=interval=5, the duration of 5 events will be
combined into a single record in the output.  When possible, a single
start and end event will be submitted to the GPU to minimize
stalling.  Combined events will not span batches, except in
the case of INTEL_MEASURE=frame.

Source
------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
