There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am able to verify the /proc/sys/dev/i915/perf_stream_paranoid path exists; however, I am unable to do the same for /proc/sys/dev/xe/observation_paranoid does. Do you know of a machine we have access to that this can be verified?
Irrespective of the above, would following Intel's wording be better? In their documentation they state:
- Set
dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoidto 0.
Then the same could be said for Xe driver:
- Set
dev.xe.observation_paranoidto 0.
So all in all the README change would be:
- If the i915 driver is in use set
dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoidto 0, alternatively if the Xe driver is in use setdev.xe.observation_paranoidto 0.
