I have no problem with Daniel's patch. It's just a matter of cutting through some scheduler BS of "when the GPU wants to change frequency" vs. "when we actually change the GPU frequency." I think *both* are interesting.
We already trace the interrupt, which has been invaluable in debugging. And there is no other source currently... :) -Chris
No we do not trace it (/me is looking on cgit, so perhaps a bit error prone). Sure we trace GT interrupts, but not pm interrupts (again, unless I am missing something via code browsing on the web).
Furthermore, even if we have added a generic interrupt trace event and I've missed it: I think it's still nice to have a power/performance specific one for users like powerTOP, as opposed to driver developers.
