67GFXOFF
68======
69
70GFXOFF is a feature found in most recent GPUs that saves power at runtime. The
71card's RLC (RunList Controller) firmware powers off the gfx engine
72dynamically when there is no workload on gfx or compute pipes. GFXOFF is on by
73default on supported GPUs.
74
75Userspace can interact with GFXOFF through a debugfs interface (all values in
76`uint32_t`, unless otherwise noted):
77
78``amdgpu_gfxoff``
79-----------------
80
81Use it to enable/disable GFXOFF, and to check if it's current enabled/disabled::
82
83  $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff
84  01
85
86- Write 0 to disable it, and 1 to enable it.
87- Read 0 means it's disabled, 1 it's enabled.
88
89If it's enabled, that means that the GPU is free to enter into GFXOFF mode as
90needed. Disabled means that it will never enter GFXOFF mode.
91
92``amdgpu_gfxoff_status``
93------------------------
94
95Read it to check current GFXOFF's status of a GPU::
96
97  $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff_status
98  02
99
100- 0: GPU is in GFXOFF state, the gfx engine is powered down.
101- 1: Transition out of GFXOFF state
102- 2: Not in GFXOFF state
103- 3: Transition into GFXOFF state
104
105If GFXOFF is enabled, the value will be transitioning around [0, 3], always
106getting into 0 when possible. When it's disabled, it's always at 2. Returns
107``-EINVAL`` if it's not supported.
108
109``amdgpu_gfxoff_count``
110-----------------------
111
112Read it to get the total GFXOFF entry count at the time of query since system
113power-up. The value is an `uint64_t` type, however, due to firmware limitations,
114it can currently overflow as an `uint32_t`. *Only supported in vangogh*
115
116``amdgpu_gfxoff_residency``
117---------------------------
118
119Write 1 to amdgpu_gfxoff_residency to start logging, and 0 to stop. Read it to
120get average GFXOFF residency % multiplied by 100 during the last logging
121interval. E.g. a value of 7854 means 78.54% of the time in the last logging
122interval the GPU was in GFXOFF mode. *Only supported in vangogh*
