I915_CONTEXT_CREATE AND I915_CONTEXT_FREE TRACEPOINTS(9)

💅 i915_context_create and i915_context_free tracepoints 💅

okay so bestie, this is the tracepoints(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — and the header is out here saying i915_contex... tracepoints(9) on both sides like it's trying to be mysterious 💀. anyway.

These tracepoints are used to track creation and deletion of contexts. they're giving paperwork but make it iconic 💖. If full ppgtt is enabled, they also print the address of the vm assigned to the context. no cap, that's the whole lore ✨.
