The V3D engine has various hardware counters which might be interesting to userspace performance analysis tools. Expose new ioctls to create/destroy a performance monitor object and query the counter values of this perfmance monitor. Note that a perfomance monitor is given an ID that is only valid on the file descriptor it has been allocated from. A performance monitor can be attached to a CL submission and the driver will enable HW counters for this request and update the performance monitor values at the end of the job.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
