Boris Brezillon 65101d8c91 drm/vc4: Expose performance counters to userspace
The V3D engine has various hardware counters which might be interesting
to userspace performance analysis tools.

Expose new ioctls to create/destroy a performance monitor object and
query the counter values of this perfmance monitor.

Note that a perfomance monitor is given an ID that is only valid on the
file descriptor it has been allocated from. A performance monitor can be
attached to a CL submission and the driver will enable HW counters for
this request and update the performance monitor values at the end of the
job.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
