drm/panfrost: Expose performance counters through unstable ioctls
Expose performance counters through 2 driver specific ioctls: one to
enable/disable the perfcnt block, and one to dump the counter values.
There are discussions to expose global performance monitors (those
counters that can't be retrieved on a per-job basis) in a consistent
way, but this is likely to take time to settle on something that works
for various HW/users.
The ioctls are marked unstable so we can get rid of them when the time
comes. We initally went for a debugfs-based interface, but this was
making the transition to per-FD address space more complicated (we need
to specify the namespace the GPU has to use when dumping the perf
counters), hence the decision to switch back to driver specific ioctls
which are passed the FD they operate on and thus will have a dedicated
address space attached to them.
Other than that, the implementation is pretty simple: it basically dumps
all counters and copy the values to a userspace buffer. The parsing is
left to userspace which has to know the specific layout that's used
by the GPU (layout differs on a per-revision basis).
