Hi everyone, one image is better than a thousand words:

So there you have it. This gallium module can draw transparent
graphs and text on top of what apps are rendering. By default, it
can show framerate, cpu load (each CPU or the average of all of
them), and the results of PRIMITIVES_GENERATED and OCCLUSION_COUNTER
queries (the latter is printed as "pixels rendered"). Furthermore,
there is a new interface for gallium allowing drivers to expose
driver-specific queries in a way similar to
GL_AMD_performance_monitor. It uses the existing pipe_query
interface. Drivers can use this to expose performance counters or
other internal information. BTW, I guess I should mention that I
ripped the font off from freeglut.
The HUD is controlled by the GALLIUM_HUD environment variable, where
you can list names of data sources. Set GALLIUM_HUD=help for more
info, it also prints all available names (including the
driver-specific queries). This is what I used for the image above:
GALLIUM_HUD="cpu0+cpu1+cpu2+cpu3:100,cpu:100,fps;draw-calls,requested-VRAM+requested-GTT,pixels-rendered"
So basically I'd like to be able to display as much useful info in
the HUD as possible. We should definitely add some ioctls for
querying useful stats from the kernel DRM/TTM and be able to see in
real time what happens in Mesa and the kernel. It's pretty easy -
just expose a new query through the gallium interface and the HUD
will automatically pick it up.
(for moderators: the second patch might get stuck in the moderation
queue)
This looks really great, Marek!
Could you update the gallium docs with your interface additions?
Could you also create a Mesa/docs/ page which describes how this works
and how to use it?
I can't wait to try this with llvmpipe and the svga driver.
I'll try to review your patches ASAP...
OK, I did a quick pass through the series and it looks good to me.

After you check this in I'll hook the HUD into the st/xlib code for
llvmpipe...
