πŸŽ€ DRM_IVPU_CAP_METRIC_STREAMER(9) πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally the glow-up of a single capability constant. she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "one-line queen." let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

DRM_IVPU_CAP_METRIC_STREAMER β€” and that's it, that's the whole name section. no description attached, she left it blank bestie, iconic honestly 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_IVPU_CAP_METRIC_STREAMER

just the constant itself, standing there looking pretty ✨ no arguments, no parameters, nothing to pass in. periodt.


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what is it? it's metric streamer support. that's the whole vibe.

basically it gives you sampling of various hardware performance metrics β€” think things like DMA bandwidth and cache miss/hits. so you can literally watch your hardware's numbers go by like a little livestream of ✨data✨.

and what's it for? profiling. that's the use case, that's the entire plot. ngl it's a short page but she ate πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ little sign-off moment: this page lives under ./include/uapi/drm, the manual is the Kernel API Manual, and it's dated October 2026. bestie really said "future vibes only" and honestly? we respect it. mwah πŸ’‹πŸŒΈ
