This patch adds framework to submit an arbitrary batchbuffer on each
context switch to clear residual state for render engine on Gen7/7.5
devices.
The idea of always emitting the context and vm setup around each request
is primary to make reset recovery easy, and not require rewriting the
ringbuffer. As each request would set up its own context, leaving it to
the HW to notice and elide no-op context switches, we could restart the
ring at any point, and reorder the requests freely.
However, to avoid emitting clear_residuals() between consecutive requests
in the ringbuffer of the same context, we do want to track the current
context in the ring. In doing so, we need to be careful to only record a
context switch when we are sure the next request will be emitted.
This security mitigation change does not trigger any performance
regression. Performance is on par with current mainline/drm-tip.

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.

Instead of relying on the workqueue, the upcoming reworked GuC
submission flow will offer the host driver indipendent control over
the execution status of each context submitted to GuC. As part of this,
the doorbell usage model has been reworked, with each doorbell being
paired to a single lrc and a doorbell ring representing new work
available for that specific context. This mechanism, however, limits
the number of contexts that can be registered with GuC to the number of
doorbells, which is an undesired limitation. To avoid this limitation,
we requested the GuC team to also provide a H2G that will allow the host
to notify the GuC of work available for a specified lrc, so we can use
that mechanism instead of relying on the doorbells. We can therefore drop
the doorbell code we currently have, also given the fact that in the
unlikely case we'd want to switch back to using doorbells we'd have to
heavily rework it.
The workqueue will still have a use in the new interface to pass special
commands, so that code has been retained for now.
With the doorbells gone and the GuC client becoming even simpler, the
existing GuC selftests don't give us any meaningful coverage so we can
remove them as well. Some selftests might come with the new code, but
they will look different from what we have now so if doesn't seem worth
it to keep the file around in the meantime.

As the engine->kernel_context is used within the engine-pm barrier, we
have to be careful when emitting requests outside of the barrier, as the
strict timeline locking rules do not apply. Instead, we must ensure the
engine_park() cannot be entered as we build the request, which is
simplest by taking an explicit engine-pm wakeref around the request
construction.

As drm now exports a method to create an anonymous struct file around a
drm_device for internal use, make use of it to avoid our horrible hacks.
Danial suggested that the mock_file_put() wrapper was suitable for
drm-core, along with the mock_drm_getfile() [and that the vestigal
mock_drm_file() in this patch should perhaps be the drm interface
itself]. However, the eventual goal is to remove the mock_drm_file() and
use the struct file and fput() directly, in this patch we take a simple
transition in that direction.

The trouble with having a plain nesting flag for locks which do not
naturally nest (unlike block devices and their partitions, which is
the original motivation for nesting levels) is that lockdep will
never spot a true deadlock if you screw up.
This patch is an attempt at trying better, by highlighting a bit more
of the actual nature of the nesting that's going on. Essentially we
have two kinds of objects:
- objects without pages allocated, which cannot be on any lru and are
hence inaccessible to the shrinker.
- objects which have pages allocated, which are on an lru, and which
the shrinker can decide to throw out.
For the former type of object, memory allocations while holding
obj->mm.lock are permissible. For the latter they are not. And
get/put_pages transitions between the two types of objects.
This is still not entirely fool-proof since the rules might change.
But as long as we run such a code ever at runtime lockdep should be
able to observe the inconsistency and complain (like with any other
lockdep class that we've split up in multiple classes). But there are
a few clear benefits:
- We can drop the nesting flag parameter from
__i915_gem_object_put_pages, because that function by definition is
never going allocate memory, and calling it on an object which
doesn't have its pages allocated would be a bug.
- We strictly catch more bugs, since there's not only one place in the
entire tree which is annotated with the special class. All the
other places that had explicit lockdep nesting annotations we're now
going to leave up to lockdep again.
- Specifically this catches stuff like calling get_pages from
put_pages (which isn't really a good idea, if we can call get_pages
so could the shrinker). I've seen patches do exactly that.
Of course I fully expect CI will show me for the fool I am with this
one here :-)
v2: There can only be one (lockdep only has a cache for the first
subclass, not for deeper ones, and we don't want to make these locks
even slower). Still separate enums for better documentation.
Real fix: don't forget about phys objs and pin_map(), and fix the
shrinker to have the right annotations ... silly me.
v3: Forgot usertptr too ...
v4: Improve comment for pages_pin_count, drop the IMPORTANT comment
and instead prime lockdep (Chris).
v5: Appease checkpatch, no double empty lines (Chris)
v6: More rebasing over selftest changes. Also somehow I forgot to
push this patch :-/
Also format comments consistently while at it.
v7: Fix typo in commit message (Joonas)
Also drop the priming, with the lmem merge we now have allocations
while holding the lmem lock, which wreaks the generic priming I've
done in earlier patches. Should probably be resurrected when lmem is
fixed. See

[mlankhorst: Fix commit typos pointed out by Michael Ruhl]
Vanshidhar Konda asked for the simplest test "to verify that the kernel
can submit and hardware can execute batch buffers on all the command
streamers in parallel." We have a number of tests in userspace that
submit load to each engine and verify that it is present, but strictly
we have no selftest to prove that the kernel can _simultaneously_
execute on all known engines. (We have tests to demonstrate that we can
submit to HW in parallel, but we don't insist that they execute in
parallel.)
