This was only used to implement an unnecessarily restrictive interpretation
of the spec of AMD_performance_monitor. The spec says
A performance monitor consists of a number of hardware and software
counters that can be sampled by the GPU and reported back to the
application.
I guess one could take this as a requirement that counters _must_ be sampled
by the GPU, but then why are they called _software_ counters? Besides,
there's not much reason _not_ to expose all counters that are available,
and this simplifies the code.
The spec says:
"
While BeginPerfMonitorAMD does mark the beginning of performance counter
collection, the counters do not begin collecting immediately. Rather,
the counters begin collection when BeginPerfMonitorAMD is processed by
the hardware. That is, the API is asynchronous, and performance counter
collection does not begin until the graphics hardware processes the
BeginPerfMonitorAMD command.
"
This is why I introduced the notion of group of GPU counters in Gallium,
because "processed by the hardware", "asynchronous" and "command" seem
like the spec is talking about GPU only.
In which world, software counters are sampled by the GPU? :-)
This spec is definitely not clear about that...
Anyway, I disagree about this patch because :
1) we need to be agreed about what amd_performance_monitor must expose
or not. Maybe it's time to ask the guys who wrote it?
2) this doesn't really simplify code.
