[REQUEST] Per process GPU usage

[w8jcik]

btop shows total GPU usage and per GPU usage very well, but it doesn't show per process GPU usage.

I believe that there is an interface that offers all necessary information, independent from GPU vendor.

Resource monitor called Resources https://github.com/nokyan/resources doesn't seem to have much code specific to any GPU vendor, yet it is able to retrieve GPU usage and even per process GPU usage.

The information is available through fdinfo interface.

cat /proc/2960/fdinfo/12

drm-engine-video:   0 ns
drm-engine-capacity-video:  2
drm-engine-video-enhance:   0 ns

where 2960 is a PID. I am not sure where the 12 comes from. Maybe all files need to be opened.

Interpretation of drm-engine-render needs extra steps:

• https://github.com/nokyan/resources/blob/main/lib/process_data/src/lib.rs#L440
• https://github.com/nokyan/resources/blob/main/src/utils/process.rs#L376

It would be great to have an additional column in processes table of btop that would show GPU usage of each process.
