Userspace applications such as PowerTOP are interesting in being able to read the current GPU frequency. The patch itself sets up a generic array for gen6 attributes so we can easily add other items in the future (and
it also happens to be just about the cleanest way to do this).

The patch is a nice addition to

    drm/i915: add a tracepoint for gpu frequency changes

Reading the GPU frequncy can be done by reading a file like:
/sys/class/drm/card0/render_frequency_mhz

I've just noticed that your sloppy maintainer totally missed to pick up
Jesse's gt power consumption interface:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-June/018404.html


After looking at the sysfs interfaces a bit, I think it makes sense to take my patch, and force Jesse to redo his on top of mine. You owe Jesse one sparkling wine.

Hence a bikeshed for the sysfs filename:
- render_ prefix is not accurate, this is for all of gt. I hence vote for
  a gt_

I only went with render_ since we're just exposing Rps. I have no attachment to the name otherwise (I initially had a patch which called it rps, in fact). Alternatively we can make gt_, and then create symlinks to it called render, video, whatever. Sounds like overkill, but I feel the name gt will become passe at some point, and I really like having a descriptive file name.

- I think calling it gt_cur_freq would make sense in case we'll expose
  _min/_max limits through sysfs, too.

"cur" is of course redundant, and to me implicit, unless we do indeed add the other ones. I actually prefer it without cur, but I really don't care enough to argue further.

- Also, calling it _cur_freq withouth MHz keeps in style with the
  frequency knobs exposed by cpus ...

I prefer mhz, but I really don't care. Arjan doesn't either so long as it's in the name. One thing which sucks about hz is if we ever break the 32b barrier, we have to deal with the same crap we do in residency.


Now I guess I should go back to my trace point patch and adjust it to
expose plain Hz, too ... Anyone got some bikeshed on this?

If you don't change the mhz->hz, can you please just suck in the patches with whatever name suits you (unless of course, anything I said above was interesting). If we all agree to change mhz->hz, I will resubmit the patches.
