xe_guc_engi...enable_stats(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 xe_guc_engine_activity_enable_stats(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the xe driver, the engine activity stats are just sitting there, and someone has to turn them on. That someone's function is this one. Welcome to the glow-up. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_guc_engine_activity_enable_stats — turn the engine activity stats on, no cap. Like flipping the switch at the start of main character energy.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void xe_guc_engine_activity_enable_stats (struct xe_guc *guc );

that's it. that's the whole signature. returns nothing (void), because it's not here to give you answers, it's here to enable things. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • guc — the GuC object 💖 (yes, that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic. it's the GuC object, bestie, you know the one.)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does it actually do? Two things, and they're both important:

  1. It enables engine activity stats — the stats are now live, the vibes are collected, the numbers have entered the chat. 📊✨
  2. It sets the initial timestamps — you can't measure activity without a starting point, so this bad boy stamps the beginning so everything after has something to compare against. Lowkey essential. ⏱️

That's the whole job. It enables, it initialises, it slays. periodt. 👑
