Allow for the MOCS to be programmed for all engines.
Currently we program the MOCS when the first render batch
goes through. This works on most platforms but fails on
platforms that do not run a render batch early,
i.e. headless servers. The patch now programs all initialised engines
on init and the RCS is programmed again within the initial batch. This
is done for predictable consistency with regards to the hardware
context.
Hardware context loading sets the values of the MOCS for RCS
and L3CC. Programming them from within the batch makes sure that
the render context is valid, no matter what the previous state of
the saved-context was.
v2: posted correct version to the mailing list.
v3: moved programming to within engine->init_hw() (Chris Wilson)

Conceptually, each request is a record of a hardware transaction - we
build up a list of pending commands and then either commit them to
hardware, or cancel them. However, whilst building up the list of
pending commands, we may modify state outside of the request and make
references to the pending request. If we do so and then cancel that
request, external objects then point to the deleted request leading to
both graphical and memory corruption.
The easiest example is to consider object/VMA tracking. When we mark an
object as active in a request, we store a pointer to this, the most
recent request, in the object. Then we want to free that object, we wait
for the most recent request to be idle before proceeding (otherwise the
hardware will write to pages now owned by the system, or we will attempt
to read from those pages before the hardware is finished writing). If
the request was cancelled instead, that wait completes immediately. As a
result, all requests must be committed and not cancelled if the external
state is unknown.
All that remains of i915_gem_request_cancel() users are just a couple of
extremely unlikely allocation failures, so remove the API entirely.
A consequence of committing all incomplete requests is that we generate
excess breadcrumbs and fill the ring much more often with dummy work. We
have completely undone the outstanding_last_seqno optimisation.

Reporting -EIO from i915_wait_request() has proven very troublematic
over the years, with numerous hard-to-reproduce bugs cropping up in the
corner case of where a reset occurs and the code wasn't expecting such
an error.
If the we reset the GPU or have detected a hang and wish to reset the
GPU, the request is forcibly complete and the wait broken. Currently, we
report either -EAGAIN or -EIO in order for the caller to retreat and
restart the wait (if appropriate) after dropping and then reacquiring
the struct_mutex (essential to allow the GPU reset to proceed). However,
if we take the view that the request is complete (no further work will
be done on it by the GPU because it is dead and soon to be reset), then
we can proceed with the task at hand and then drop the struct_mutex
allowing the reset to occur. This transfers the burden of checking
whether it is safe to proceed to the caller, which in all but one
instance it is safe - completely eliminating the source of all spurious
-EIO.
Of note, we only have two API entry points where we expect that
userspace can observe an EIO. First is when submitting an execbuf, if
the GPU is terminally wedged, then the operation cannot succeed and an
-EIO is reported. Secondly, existing userspace uses the throttle ioctl
to detect an already wedged GPU before starting using HW acceleration
(or to confirm that the GPU is wedged after an error condition). So if
the GPU is wedged when the user calls throttle, also report -EIO.
v2: Split more carefully the change to i915_wait_request() and assorted
ABI from the reset handling.
v3: Add a couple of WARN_ON(EIO) to the interruptible modesetting code
so that we don't start to leak EIO there in future (and break our hang
resistant modesetting).

As the request is only valid during the same global reset epoch, we can
record the current reset_counter when constructing the request and reuse
it when waiting upon that request in future. This removes a very hairy
atomic check serialised by the struct_mutex at the time of waiting and
allows us to transfer those waits to a central dispatcher for all
waiters and all requests.
PS: With per-engine resets, we obviously cannot assume a global reset
epoch for the requests - a per-engine epoch makes the most sense. The
challenge then is how to handle checking in the waiter for when to break
the wait, as the fine-grained reset may also want to requeue the
request (i.e. the assumption that just because the epoch changes the
request is completed may be broken - or we just avoid breaking that
assumption with the fine-grained resets).

This is principally a little bit of syntatic sugar to hide the
atomic_read()s throughout the code to retrieve the current reset_counter.
It also provides the other utility functions to check the reset state on the
already read reset_counter, so that (in later patches) we can read it once
and do multiple tests rather than risk the value changing between tests.

Split the hardware status page into setup and initialisation,
where setup means setting up the driver state to support the
engine, and initialization means programming the hardware
with the before set up state.
This way the design matches the design of the engine setup/init
code which is split in the same fashion and it enables the
stages to be used in a balanced fashion (engine setup - hws
setup, engine init - hws init).
This will enable the upcoming improvements to slot in without

On platforms with multiple forcewake domains like VLV, CHV, SKL

To implement it we add a function named
intel_uncore_forcewake_for_reg whose purpose is to query which

Currently for the case where there is enough space at the end of Ring
buffer for accommodating only the base request, the wrapround is done
immediately and as a result the base request gets added at the start
of Ring buffer. But there may not be enough free space at the beginning
to accommodate the base request, as before the wraparound, the wait was
effectively done for the reserved_size free space from the start of
Ring buffer. In such a case there is a potential of Ring buffer overflow,
the instructions at the head of Ring (ACTHD) can get overwritten.
Since the base request can fit in the remaining space, there is no need
to wraparound immediately. The wraparound will anyway happen later when
the reserved part starts getting used.

I could not explain, or find a code path, which would explain
a +20 second lockup, but from some instrumentation it was
apparent the interrupts off proportion of time was between
10-25% under heavy load which is quite bad.
When a interrupt "cliff" is reached, which was >~320k irq/s on
my machine, the whole system goes into a terrible state of the
above described multi-second lockups.
By moving the GT interrupt handling to a tasklet in a most
simple way, the problem above disappears completely.
Testing the effect on sytem-wide latencies using
igt/gem_syslatency shows the following before this patch:
gem_syslatency: cycles=1532739, latency mean=416531.829us max=2499237us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1839434, latency mean=1458099.157us max=4998944us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1432570, latency mean=2688.451us max=1201185us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1533543, latency mean=416520.499us max=2498886us
This shows that the unrelated process is experiencing huge
delays in its wake-up latency. After the patch the results
look like this:
gem_syslatency: cycles=808907, latency mean=53.133us max=1640us
gem_syslatency: cycles=862154, latency mean=62.778us max=2117us
gem_syslatency: cycles=856039, latency mean=58.079us max=2123us
gem_syslatency: cycles=841683, latency mean=56.914us max=1667us
Showing a huge improvement in the unrelated process wake-up
latency. It also shows an approximate halving in the number
of total empty batches submitted during the test. This may
not be worrying since the test puts the driver under
a very unrealistic load with ncpu threads doing empty batch
submission to all GPU engines each.
Another benefit compared to the hard-irq handling is that now
work on all engines can be dispatched in parallel since we can
have up to number of CPUs active tasklets. (While previously
a single hard-irq would serially dispatch on one engine after
another.)
More interesting scenario with regards to throughput is
"gem_latency -n 100" which shows 25% better throughput and
CPU usage, and 14% better dispatch latencies.
I did not find any gains or regressions with Synmark2 or
GLbench under light testing. More benchmarking is certainly
required.

By reading the CSB (slow MMIO accesses) into a temporary local
buffer we can decrease the duration of holding the execlist
lock.
Main advantage is that during heavy batch buffer submission we
reduce the execlist lock contention, which should decrease the
latency and CPU usage between the submitting userspace process
and interrupt handling.
Downside is that we need to grab and relase the forcewake twice,
but as the below numbers will show this is completely hidden
by the primary gains.
Testing with "gem_latency -n 100" (submit batch buffers with a
hundred nops each) shows more than doubling of the throughput
and more than halving of the dispatch latency, overall latency
and CPU time spend in the submitting process.
Submitting empty batches ("gem_latency -n 0") does not seem
significantly affected by this change with throughput and CPU
time improving by half a percent, and overall latency worsening
by the same amount.
Above tests were done in a hundred runs on a big core Broadwell.

Version 3 now makes the irq handling code path ~20% smaller on

spinlock is greatly reduced together with mmio traffic to an
extent.
Benchmarking with "gem_latency -n 100" (keep submitting
batches with 100 nop instruction) shows approximately 4% higher
throughput, 2% less CPU time and 22% smaller latencies. This was
on a big-core while small-cores could benefit even more.
Most likely reason for the improvements are the MMIO
optimization and uncore lock traffic reduction.
One odd result is with "gem_latency -n 0" (dispatching empty
batches) which shows 5% more throughput, 8% less CPU time,
25% better producer and consumer latencies, but 15% higher
dispatch latency which is yet unexplained.

In GuC mode LRC pinning lifetime depends exclusively on the
request liftime. Since that is terminated by the seqno update
that opens up a race condition between GPU finishing writing
out the context image and the driver unpinning the LRC.
To extend the LRC lifetime we will employ a similar approach
to what legacy ringbuffer submission does.
We will start tracking the last submitted context per engine
and keep it pinned until it is replaced by another one.
Note that the driver unload path is a bit fragile and could
benefit greatly from efforts to unify the legacy and exec
list submission code paths.
At the moment i915_gem_context_fini has special casing for the
two which are potentialy not needed, and also depends on
i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer running before itself.
v2:
* Move pinning into engine->emit_request and actually fix
the reference/unreference logic. (Chris Wilson)
* ring->dev can be NULL on driver unload so use a different
route towards it.
v3:
* Rebase.
* Handle the reset path. (Chris Wilson)
* Exclude default context from the pinning - it is impossible
to get it right before default context special casing in
general is eliminated.
v4:
* Rebased & moved context tracking to
intel_logical_ring_advance_and_submit.

Previously intel_lr_context_(un)pin were operating on requests
which is in conflict with their names.
If we make them take a context and an engine, it makes the names
make more sense and it also makes future fixes possible.

Tvrtko was looking through the execbuffer-ioctl and noticed that the
uABI was tightly coupled to our internal engine identifiers. Close
inspection also revealed that we leak those internal engine identifiers
through the busy-ioctl, and those internal identifiers already do not
match the user identifiers. Fortuitiously, there is only one user of the
set of busy rings from the busy-ioctl, and they only wish to choose
between the RENDER and the BLT engines.
Let's fix the userspace ABI while we still can.
v2: Update the uAPI documentation to explain the identifiers.

Broadwell and later currently use the same unordered command sequence to
update the seqno in the HWS status page and then assert the user
interrupt. We should apply the w/a from legacy (where we do an mmio
read to delay the seqno read after the interrupt), but this is not
enough to enforce coherent seqno visibilty on Skylake. Rather than
search for the proper post-interrupt seqno barrier, use a strongly
ordered command sequence to write the seqno, then assert the user
interrupt from the ring.
v2: Move around the wa tail dwords to avoid adding duplicate code.
v3: Add references, comments on workarounds and bit5 check.

There are a few bits of code which the transformations implemented by
the previous patch reveal to be suboptimal, once the notion of a per-
ring default context has gone away. So this tidies up the leftovers.
It could have been squashed into the previous patch, but that would have
made that patch less clearly a simple transformation. In particular, any
change which alters the code block structure or indentation has been
deferred into this separate patch, because such things tend to make
diffs more difficult to read.

Now that we've eliminated a lot of uses of ring->default_context,
we can eliminate the pointer itself.
All the engines share the same default intel_context, so we can just
keep a single reference to it in the dev_priv structure rather than one
in each of the engine[] elements. This make refcounting more sensible
too, as we now have a refcount of one for the one pointer, rather than
a refcount of one but multiple pointers.
From an idea by Chris Wilson.
v2: transform an extra instance of ring->default_context introduced by
42f1cae8c drm/i915: Restore inhibiting the load of the default context
That patch's commentary includes:
v2: Mark the global default context as uninitialized on GPU reset so
that the context-local workarounds are reloaded upon re-enabling
The code implementing that now also benefits from the replacement of
the multiple (per-ring) pointers to the default context with a single
pointer to the unique kernel context.
v4: Rebased, remove underused local (Nick Hoath)

There are a number of places where the driver needs a request, but isn't
working on behalf of any specific user or in a specific context. At
present, we associate them with the per-engine default context. A future
patch will abolish those per-engine context pointers; but we can already
eliminate a lot of the references to them, just by making the allocator
allow NULL as a shorthand for "an appropriate context for this ring",
which will mean that the callers don't need to know anything about how
the "appropriate context" is found (e.g. per-ring vs per-device, etc).
So this patch renames the existing i915_gem_request_alloc(), and makes
it local (static inline), and replaces it with a wrapper that provides
a default if the context is NULL, and also has a nicer calling
convention (doesn't require a pointer to an output parameter). Then we
change all callers to use the new convention:
OLD:
err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx, &req);
if (err) ...
NEW:
req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, user_ctx);
if (IS_ERR(req)) ...
OLD:
err = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, ring->default_context, &req);
if (err) ...
NEW:
req = i915_gem_request_alloc(ring, NULL);
if (IS_ERR(req)) ...

LRC code was calling GEM API like i915_gem_obj_ggtt_offset from
places where the struct_mutex cannot be grabbed (irq handlers).
To avoid that this patch caches some interesting bits and values
in the engine and context structures.
Some usages are also removed where they are not needed like a
few asserts which are either impossible or have been checked
already during engine initialization.
Side benefit is also that interrupt handlers and command
submission stop evaluating invariant conditionals, like what
Gen we are running on, on every interrupt and every command
submitted.
This patch deals with logical ring context id and descriptors
while subsequent patches will deal with the remaining issues.
v2:
* Cache the VMA instead of the address. (Chris Wilson)
* Incorporate Dave Gordon's good comments and function name.
v3:
* Extract ctx descriptor template to a function and group
functions dealing with ctx descriptor & co together near
top of the file. (Dave Gordon)
