In Xe, the plan is to support multiple types of perf counter streams (OA is
only one type of these streams). Rather than introduce NxM ioctls for
these (N perf streams with M ioctl's per perf stream), we decide to
multiplex these (N different stream types and the M ops for each of these
stream types) through a single PERF ioctl. This multiplexing is the purpose
of the PERF layer.
In addition to PERF DRM ioctl's, another set of ioctl's on the PERF fd are
defined. These are expected to be common to different PERF stream types and
therefore defined at the PERF layer itself.
v2: Add param_size to 'struct drm_xe_perf_param' (Umesh)
v3: Rename 'enum drm_xe_perf_ops' to
'enum drm_xe_perf_ioctls' (Guy Zadicario)
Add DRM_ prefix to ioctl names to indicate uapi names
v4: Add 'enum drm_xe_perf_op' previously missed out (Guy Zadicario)
v5: Squash the ops and PERF layer patches into a single patch (Umesh)
Remove param_size from struct 'drm_xe_perf_param' (Umesh)
v6: Add DRM_XE_PERF_IOCTL_STATUS
v7: Add DRM_XE_PERF_IOCTL_INFO
v8: Fix Copyright years, fix DRM_XE_PERF_TYPE_MAX, move '#include
"xe_perf.h"' to xe_perf.c, add kernel doc (Michal)

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
