From 028a7a989cb57790868df20e50dff682e73e33e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2019 18:57:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/icl: Refine PG_HYSTERESIS After doing some measuring, Icelake behaves on a par with Broadwell, and without having to compromise for low power cores with long latencies, we can reduce the powergating hysteresis so that the powersaving is enabled faster. No impact observed on client side throughput measures (so negligible increase in extra switching), and inspection from high frequency polling using igt/gem_exec_nop/sequential, provided an estimate for the upper bound before we can measure a substantial impact on latency.
