v2: Avoid mentioning an error for fault-injection, other CI will

We want to separate the utility functions for controlling the logical
ring context from the execlists submission mechanism (which is an
overgrown scheduler).
This is similar to Daniele's work to split up the files, but being
selfish I wanted to base it after my own changes to intel_lrc.c petered
out.

We plan to expand upon the number of available statuses for when we
pretty-print the requests along the timelines, and so need a new set of
flags. We have settled upon:
Unready [U]
- initial status after being submitted, the request is not
ready for execution as it is waiting for external fences
Ready [R]
- all fences the request was waiting on have been signaled,
and the request is now ready for execution and will be
in a backend queue
- a ready request may still need to wait on semaphores
[internal fences]
Ready/virtual [V]
- same as ready, but queued over multiple backends
Executing [E]
- the request has been transferred from the backend queue and
submitted for execution on HW
- a completed request may still be regarded as executing, its
status may not be updated until it is retired and removed
from the lists

Allocate only an internal intel_context for the kernel_context, forgoing
a global GEM context for internal use as we only require a separate
address space (for our own protection).
Now having weaned GT from requiring ce->gem_context, we can stop
referencing it entirely. This also means we no longer have to create random
and unnecessary GEM contexts for internal use.
GEM contexts are now entirely for tracking GEM clients, and intel_context
the execution environment on the GPU.

The design of the OA unit has been split into several units. We now
have a global unit (OAG) and a render specific unit (OAR). This leads
to some changes on how we program things. Some details :
OAR:
- has its own set of counter registers, they are per-context
saved/restored
- counters are not written to the circular OA buffer
- a snapshot of the counters can be acquired with
MI_RECORD_PERF_COUNT, or a single counter can be read with
MI_STORE_REGISTER_MEM.
OAG:
- has global counters that increment across context switches
- counters are written into the circular OA buffer (if requested)
v2: Fix checkpatch warnings on code style (Lucas)
v3: (Umesh)
- Update register from which tail, status and head are read
- Update logic to sample context reports
- Update whitelist mux and b counter regs
v4: Fix a bug when updating context image for new contexts (Umesh)
v5: Squash patch enabling save/restore of counters into context image
We want this so we can preempt performance queries and keep the
system responsive even when long running queries are ongoing. We
avoid doing it for all contexts.
- use LRI to modify context control (Chris)
- use MASKED_FIELD to program just the masked bits (Chris)
- disable save/restore of counters on cleanup (Chris)
v6: Do not use implicit parameters (Chris)

While processing CSB there is no need to look at GuC submission
settings, just check if engine is configured for execlists mode.
While today GuC submission is disabled it's settings are still
based on modparam values that might not correctly reflect actual
submission status in case of any fallback. Until that is fully
fixed, use alternate method to confirm that engine really runs in
execlists mode by comparing set_default_submission vfunc.
v2: add other immediate use of new helper

With the introduction of ctx->engines[] we allow multiple logical
contexts to be used on the same engine (e.g. with virtual engines).
According to bspec, aach logical context requires a unique tag in order
for context-switching to occur correctly between them. [Simple
experiments show that it is not so easy to trick the HW into performing
a lite-restore with matching logical IDs, though my memory from early
Broadwell experiments do suggest that it should be generating
lite-restores.]
We only need to keep a unique tag for the active lifetime of the
context, and for as long as we need to identify that context. The HW
uses the tag to determine if it should use a lite-restore (why not the
LRCA?) and passes the tag back for various status identifies. The only
status we need to track is for OA, so when using perf, we assign the
specific context a unique tag.
v2: Calculate required number of tags to fill ELSP.

Some of our commands (MI_FLUSH_DW / PIPE_CONTROL) require a post-sync write
operation to be performed. Currently we're using dedicated VMA for
PIPE_CONTROL and global HWSP for MI_FLUSH_DW.
On execlists platforms, each of our contexts has an area that can be
used as scratch space. Let's use that instead.

Some users require that when a master batch is executed on one particular
engine, a companion batch is run simultaneously on a specific slave
engine. For this purpose, we introduce virtual engine bonding, allowing
maps of master:slaves to be constructed to constrain which physical
engines a virtual engine may select given a fence on a master engine.
For the moment, we continue to ignore the issue of preemption deferring
the master request for later. Ideally, we would like to then also remove
the slave and run something else rather than have it stall the pipeline.
With load balancing, we should be able to move workload around it, but
there is a similar stall on the master pipeline while it may wait for
the slave to be executed. At the cost of more latency for the bonded
request, it may be interesting to launch both on their engines in
lockstep. (Bubbles abound.)
Opens: Also what about bonding an engine as its own master? It doesn't
break anything internally, so allow the silliness.
v2: Emancipate the bonds
v3: Couple in delayed scheduling for the selftests
v4: Handle invalid mutually exclusive bonding
v5: Mention what the uapi does

Having allowed the user to define a set of engines that they will want
to only use, we go one step further and allow them to bind those engines
into a single virtual instance. Submitting a batch to the virtual engine
will then forward it to any one of the set in a manner as best to
distribute load. The virtual engine has a single timeline across all
engines (it operates as a single queue), so it is not able to concurrently
run batches across multiple engines by itself; that is left up to the user
to submit multiple concurrent batches to multiple queues. Multiple users
will be load balanced across the system.
The mechanism used for load balancing in this patch is a late greedy
balancer. When a request is ready for execution, it is added to each
engine's queue, and when an engine is ready for its next request it
claims it from the virtual engine. The first engine to do so, wins, i.e.
the request is executed at the earliest opportunity (idle moment) in the
system.
As not all HW is created equal, the user is still able to skip the
virtual engine and execute the batch on a specific engine, all within the
same queue. It will then be executed in order on the correct engine,
with execution on other virtual engines being moved away due to the load
detection.
A couple of areas for potential improvement left!
- The virtual engine always take priority over equal-priority tasks.
Mostly broken up by applying FQ_CODEL rules for prioritising new clients,
and hopefully the virtual and real engines are not then congested (i.e.
all work is via virtual engines, or all work is to the real engine).
- We require the breadcrumb irq around every virtual engine request. For
normal engines, we eliminate the need for the slow round trip via
interrupt by using the submit fence and queueing in order. For virtual
engines, we have to allow any job to transfer to a new ring, and cannot
coalesce the submissions, so require the completion fence instead,
forcing the persistent use of interrupts.
- We only drip feed single requests through each virtual engine and onto
the physical engines, even if there was enough work to fill all ELSP,
leaving small stalls with an idle CS event at the end of every request.
Could we be greedy and fill both slots? Being lazy is virtuous for load
distribution on less-than-full workloads though.
Other areas of improvement are more general, such as reducing lock
contention, reducing dispatch overhead, looking at direct submission
rather than bouncing around tasklets etc.
sseu: Lift the restriction to allow sseu to be reconfigured on virtual
engines composed of RENDER_CLASS (rcs).
v2: macroize check_user_mbz()
v3: Cancel virtual engines on wedging
v4: Commence commenting
v5: Replace 64b sibling_mask with a list of class:instance
v6: Drop the one-element array in the uabi
v7: Assert it is an virtual engine in to_virtual_engine()
v8: Skip over holes in [class][inst] so we can selftest with (vcs0, vcs2)
