Intel Graphics Driver With Linux 6.15 To Allow Tuning The GuC Power Profile


Following the various Intel graphics driver feature updates sent out earlier this week in building up the new kernel graphics/display driver features for Linux 6.15, another prominent pull request was sent out yesterday with additional material.

The GuC's Single Loop Power Control (SLPC) manages the GT frequency based on how busy it is and how it's initialized by the kernel driver. That addition is part of this Intel GT pull request ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.15 merge window. The pull additionally has a new performance optimization for Intel "Gen12" Tigerlake and Alder Lake graphics by setting "WAIT_ON_DEPTH_STALL_DONE_DISABLE" for fast clear flushes.
