Start partitioning off the code that talks to the hardware (GT) from the
uapi layers and move the device facing code under gt/
One casualty is s/intel_ringbuffer.h/intel_engine.h/ with the plan to
subdivide that header and body further (and split out the submission
code from the ringbuffer and logical context handling). This patch aims
to be simple motion so git can fixup inflight patches with little mess.

This discussion started because we use token pasting in the
GEN{2,3}_IRQ_INIT and GEN{2,3}_IRQ_RESET macros, so gen2-4 passes an
empty argument to those macros, making the code a little weird. The
original proposal was to just add a comment as the empty argument, but
Ville suggested we just add a prefix to the registers, and that indeed
sounds like a more elegant solution.
Now doing this is kinda against our rules for register naming since we
only add gens or platform names as register prefixes when the given
gen/platform changes a register that already existed before. On the
other hand, we have so many instances of IIR/IMR in comments that
adding a prefix would make the users of these register more easily
findable, in addition to make our token pasting macros actually
readable. So IMHO opening an exception here is worth it.

When we return pages to the system, we ensure that they are marked as
being in the CPU domain since any external access is uncontrolled and we
must assume the worst. This means that we need to always flush the pages
on acquisition if we need to use them on the GPU, and from the beginning
have used set-domain. Set-domain is overkill for the purpose as it is a
general synchronisation barrier, but our intent is to only flush the
pages being swapped in. If we move that flush into the pages acquisition
phase, we know then that when we have obj->mm.pages, they are coherent
with the GPU and need only maintain that status without resorting to
heavy handed use of set-domain.
The principle knock-on effect for userspace is through mmap-gtt
pagefaulting. Our uAPI has always implied that the GTT mmap was async
(especially as when any pagefault occurs is unpredicatable to userspace)
and so userspace had to apply explicit domain control itself
(set-domain). However, swapping is transparent to the kernel, and so on
first fault we need to acquire the pages and make them coherent for
access through the GTT. Our use of set-domain here leaks into the uABI
that the first pagefault was synchronous. This is unintentional and
baring a few igt should be unoticed, nevertheless we bump the uABI
version for mmap-gtt to reflect the change in behaviour.
Another implication of the change is that gem_create() is presumed to
create an object that is coherent with the CPU and is in the CPU write
domain, so a set-domain(CPU) following a gem_create() would be a minor
operation that merely checked whether we could allocate all pages for
the object. On applying this change, a set-domain(CPU) causes a clflush
as we acquire the pages. This will have a small impact on mesa as we move
the clflush here on !llc from execbuf time to create, but that should
have minimal performance impact as the same clflush exists but is now
done early and because of the clflush issue, userspace recycles bo and
so should resist allocating fresh objects.
Internally, the presumption that objects are created in the CPU
write-domain and remain so through writes to obj->mm.mapping is more
prevalent than I expected; but easy enough to catch and apply a manual
flush.
For the future, we should push the page flush from the central
set_pages() into the callers so that we can more finely control when it
is applied, but for now doing it one location is easier to validate, at
the cost of sometimes flushing when there is no need.

Introduce a mutex to start locking the HW contexts independently of
struct_mutex, with a view to reducing the coarse struct_mutex. The
intel_context.pin_mutex is used to guard the transition to and from being
pinned on the gpu, and so is required before starting to build any
request. The intel_context will then remain pinned until the request
completes, but the mutex can be released immediately unpin completion of
pinning the context.
A slight variant of the above is used by per-context sseu that wants to
inspect the pinned status of the context, and requires that it remains
stable (either !pinned or pinned) across its operation. By using the
pin_mutex to serialise operations while pin_count==0, we can take that
pin_mutex for stabilise the boolean pin status.
v2: for Tvrtko!

To determine whether an engine has 'stuck', we simply check whether or
not is still on the same seqno for several seconds. To keep this simple
mechanism intact over the loss of a global seqno, we can simply add a
new global heartbeat seqno instead. As we cannot know the sequence in
which requests will then be completed, we use a primitive random number
generator instead (with a cycle long enough to not matter over an
interval of a few thousand requests between hangcheck samples).
The alternative to using a dedicated seqno on every request is to issue
a heartbeat request and query its progress through the system. Sadly
this requires us to reduce struct_mutex so that we can issue requests
without requiring that bkl.
v2: And without the extra CS_STALL for the hangcheck seqno -- we don't
need strict serialisation with what comes later, we just need to be sure
we don't write the hangcheck seqno before our batch is flushed.

Apply backpressure to hogs that emit requests faster than the GPU can
process them by waiting for their ring to be less than half-full before
proceeding with taking the struct_mutex.
This is a gross hack to apply throttling backpressure, the long term
goal is to remove the struct_mutex contention so that each client
naturally waits, preferably in an asynchronous, nonblocking fashion
(pipelined operations for the win), for their own resources and never
blocks another client within the driver at least. (Realtime priority
goals would extend to ensuring that resource contention favours high
priority clients as well.)
This patch only limits excessive request production and does not attempt
to throttle clients that block waiting for eviction (either global GTT or
system memory) or any other global resources, see above for the long term
goal.
No microbenchmarks are harmed (to the best of my knowledge).

A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the
thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple
clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The
requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its
request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead.
To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a
simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost
unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so
request completion checking required delegation.
Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client
waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do
a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit
688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on
the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on.
(Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered
along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide
a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.)
The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global
seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts
queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by
only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we
keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we
inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence
signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence
signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW
being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the
interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case).
Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by
inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays
on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to
perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to
preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine,
with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups.
In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same
(about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent
in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is
improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio.
v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to
warm even the most cold of hearts.
v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting
v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe
and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops
v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

To allow requests to forgo a common execution timeline, one question we
need to be able to answer is "is this request running?". To track
whether a request has started on HW, we can emit a breadcrumb at the
beginning of the request and check its timeline's HWSP to see if the
breadcrumb has advanced past the start of this request. (This is in
contrast to the global timeline where we need only ask if we are on the
global timeline and if the timeline has advanced past the end of the
previous request.)
There is still confusion from a preempted request, which has already
started but relinquished the HW to a high priority request. For the
common case, this discrepancy should be negligible. However, for
identification of hung requests, knowing which one was running at the
time of the hang will be much more important.

Now that we have allocated ourselves a cacheline to store a breadcrumb,
we can emit a write from the GPU into the timeline's HWSP of the
per-context seqno as we complete each request. This drops the mirroring
of the per-engine HWSP and allows each context to operate independently.
We do not need to unwind the per-context timeline, and so requests are
always consistent with the timeline breadcrumb, greatly simplifying the
completion checks as we no longer need to be concerned about the
global_seqno changing mid check.
One complication though is that we have to be wary that the request may
outlive the HWSP and so avoid touching the potentially danging pointer
after we have retired the fence. We also have to guard our access of the
HWSP with RCU, the release of the obj->mm.pages should already be RCU-safe.
At this point, we are emitting both per-context and global seqno and
still using the single per-engine execution timeline for resolving
interrupts.

Currently we only allocate an object and vma if we are using a GGTT
virtual HWSP, and a plain struct page for a physical HWSP. For
convenience later on with global timelines, it will be useful to always
have the status page being tracked by a struct i915_vma. Make it so.

Now that the submission backends are controlled via their own spinlocks,
with a wave of a magic wand we can lift the struct_mutex requirement
around GPU reset. That is we allow the submission frontend (userspace)
to keep on submitting while we process the GPU reset as we can suspend
the backend independently.
The major change is around the backoff/handoff strategy for performing
the reset. With no mutex deadlock, we no longer have to coordinate with
any waiter, and just perform the reset immediately.

Instead of tediously and fragilely counting up the number of dwords
required to emit the breadcrumb to seal a request, fake a request and
measure it automatically once during engine setup.
The downside is that this requires a fair amount of mocking to create a
proper breadcrumb. Still, should be less error prone in future as the
breadcrumb size fluctuates!

Haswell also requires the RING_IMR flush for its unique vebox setup to
avoid losing interrupts, as per 476af9c26063 ("drm/i915/gen6: Flush
RING_IMR changes before changing the global GT IMR"):
On Baytail, notably, we can still detect missed interrupt syndrome
(where we never spot a completed request). In this case, it can be
alleviated by always keeping the interrupt unmasked, implying that the
interrupt is being lost in the window after modifying the IMR. (This is
the reason we still have the posting reads on enable_irq, if we remove
them we miss interrupts!) Having narrowed the issue down to the IMR,
rather than keeping it always enabled, applying the usual posting
read/flush of the RING_IMR before unmasking the GT IMR also seems to
prevent the missed interrupt. So be it.

Now that we have eliminated the CPU-side irq_seqno_barrier by moving the
delays on the GPU before emitting the MI_USER_INTERRUPT, we can remove
the engine->irq_seqno_barrier infrastructure. Though intentionally
slowing down the GPU is nasty, so is the code we can now remove!

The irq_seqno_barrier is a tradeoff between doing work on every request
(on the GPU) and doing work after every interrupt (on the CPU). We
presume we have many more requests than interrupts! However, for
Ironlake, the workaround is a pretty hideous usleep() and so even though
it was found we need to repeat the MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM 8 times, or about
1us of GPU time, doing so is preferrable than requiring a sleep of
125-250us on the CPU where we desire to respond immediately (ideally from
within the interrupt handler)!
The additional MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM also have the side-effect of flushing
MI operations from userspace which are not caught by MI_FLUSH!

The irq_seqno_barrier is a tradeoff between doing work on every request
(on the GPU) and doing work after every interrupt (on the CPU). We
presume we have many more requests than interrupts! However, the current
w/a for Ivybridge is an implicit delay that currently fails sporadically
and consistently if we move the w/a into the irq handler itself. This
makes the CPU barrier untenable for upcoming interrupt handler changes
and so we need to replace it with a delay on the GPU before we send the
MI_USER_INTERRUPT. As it turns out that delay is 32x MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM,
or about 0.6us per request! Quite nasty, but the lesser of two evils
looking to the future.

Having transitioned to using PIPECONTROL to combine the flush with the
breadcrumb write using their post-sync functions, assume that this will
resolve the serialisation with the subsequent MI_USER_INTERRUPT. That is
when inspecting the breadcrumb after an interrupt we can rely on the write
being posted (i.e. the HWSP will be coherent).
Testing using gem_sync shows that the PIPECONTROL + CS stall does
serialise the command streamer sufficient that the breadcrumb lands
before the MI_USER_INTERRUPT. The same is not true for MI_FLUSH_DW.

In preparation for removing the manual EMIT_FLUSH prior to emitting the
breadcrumb implement the flush inline with writing the breadcrumb for
ringbuffer emission.
With a combined flush+breadcrumb, we can use a single operation to both
flush and after the flush is complete (post-sync) write the breadcrumb.
This gives us a strongly ordered operation that should be sufficient to
serialise the write before we emit the interrupt; and therefore we may
take the opportunity to remove the irq_seqno_barrier w/a for gen6+.
Although using the PIPECONTROL to write the breadcrumb is slower than
MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM, by combining the operations into one and removing the
extra flush (next patch) it is faster
For gen2-5, we simply combine the MI_FLUSH into the breadcrumb emission,
though maybe we could find a solution here to the seqno-vs-interrupt
issue on Ironlake by mixing up the flush? The answer is no, adding an
MI_FLUSH before the interrupt is insufficient.

The writing is on the wall for the existence of a single execution queue
along each engine, and as a consequence we will not be able to track
dependencies along the HW queue itself, i.e. we will not be able to use
HW semaphores on gen7 as they use a global set of registers (and unlike
gen8+ we can not effectively target memory to keep per-context seqno and
dependencies).
On the positive side, when we implement request reordering for gen7 we
also can not presume a simple execution queue and would also require
removing the current semaphore generation code. So this bring us another
step closer to request reordering for ringbuffer submission!
The negative side is that using interrupts to drive inter-engine
synchronisation is much slower (4us -> 15us to do a nop on each of the 3
engines on ivb). This is much better than it was at the time of introducing
the HW semaphores and equally important userspace weaned itself off
intermixing dependent BLT/RENDER operations (the prime culprit was glyph
rendering in UXA). So while we regress the microbenchmarks, it should not
impact the user.

After we found a workaround for a hang on context load, Ben Widawsky
found confirmation that it was for an issue with waking from rc6 and
loading a context image.
The workaround from on high suggests that we should
I915_WRITE(RING_WAIT_FOR_RC6_EXIT(engine->mmio_base),
_MASKED_FIELD(RING_RC6_SEL_WRITE_ADDR_MASK,
RING_RC6_SEL_WRITE_ADDR_UPPER_LEFT));
in our rc6 setup for Haswell GT1, but on applying that we find instead
that the machine encounters a GT forcewake error and locks up.
As we are removing HW semaphore usage in the next patch, and the
suggested workaround is no improvement, we need to
decouple the PSMI workaround from HAS_SEMAPHORES to IS_HSW_GT1.
