All the requests at the same priority are executed in FIFO order. They
do not need to be stored in the rbtree themselves, as they are a simple
list within a level. If we move the requests at one priority into a list,
we can then reduce the rbtree to the set of priorities. This should keep
the height of the rbtree small, as the number of active priorities can not
exceed the number of active requests and should be typically only a few.
Currently, we have ~2k possible different priority levels, that may
increase to allow even more fine grained selection. Allocating those in
advance seems a waste (and may be impossible), so we opt for allocating
upon first use, and freeing after its requests are depleted. To avoid
the possibility of an allocation failure causing us to lose a request,
we preallocate the default priority (0) and bump any request to that
priority if we fail to allocate it the appropriate plist. Having a
request (that is ready to run, so not leading to corruption) execute
out-of-order is better than leaking the request (and its dependency
tree) entirely.
There should be a benefit to reducing execlists_dequeue() to principally
using a simple list (and reducing the frequency of both rbtree iteration
and balancing on erase) but for typical workloads, request coalescing
should be small enough that we don't notice any change. The main gain is
from improving PI calls to schedule, and the explicit list within a
level should make request unwinding simpler (we just need to insert at
the head of the list rather than the tail and not have to make the
rbtree search more complicated).
v2: Avoid use-after-free when deleting a depleted priolist
v3: Michał found the solution to handling the allocation failure
gracefully. If we disable all priority scheduling following the
allocation failure, those requests will be executed in fifo and we will
ensure that this request and its dependencies are in strict fifo (even
when it doesn't realise it is only a single list). Normal scheduling is
restored once we know the device is idle, until the next failure!

GVTg has introduced the context status notifier to schedule the GVTg
workload. At that time, the notifier is bound to GVTg context only,
so GVTg is not aware of host workloads.
Now we are going to improve GVTg's guest workload scheduler policy,
and add Guc emulation support for new Gen graphics. Both these two
features require acknowledgment for all contexts running on hardware.
(But will not alter host workload.) So here try to make some change.
The change is simple:
1. Move the context status notifier head from i915_gem_context to
intel_engine_cs. Which means there is a notifier head per engine
instead of per context. Execlist driver still call notifier for
each context sched-in/out events of current engine.
2. At GVTg side, it binds a notifier_block for each physical engine
at GVTg initialization period. Then GVTg can hear all context
status events.
In this patch, GVTg do nothing for host context event, but later
will add a function there. But in any case, the notifier callback is
a noop if this is no active vGPU.
Since intel_gvt_init() is called at early initialization stage and
require the status notifier head has been initiated, I initiate it in
intel_engine_setup().
v2: remove a redundant newline. (chris)

During reset_all_global_seqno() on seqno rollover, we have to update the
HWS. This causes all in flight requests to be completed, so first we
wait. However, we were only waiting for the requests themselves to be

A significant cost in setting up a wait is the overhead of enabling the
interrupt. As we disable the interrupt whenever the queue of waiters is
empty, if we are frequently waiting on alternating batches, we end up
re-enabling the interrupt on a frequent basis. We do want to disable the
interrupt during normal operations as under high load it may add several
thousand interrupts/s - we have been known in the past to occupy whole
cores with our interrupt handler after accidentally leaving user
interrupts enabled. As a compromise, leave the interrupt enabled until
the next IRQ, or the system is idle. This gives a small window for a
waiter to keep the interrupt active and not be delayed by having to
re-enable the interrupt.

As execlists and other non-semaphore multi-engine devices coordinate
between engines using interrupts, we can shave off a few 10s of
microsecond of scheduling latency by doing the fence signaling from the
interrupt as opposed to a RT kthread. (Realistically the delay adds
about 1% to an individual cross-engine workload.) We only signal the
first fence in order to limit the amount of work we move into the
interrupt handler. We also have to remember that our breadcrumbs may be
unordered with respect to the interrupt and so we still require the
waiter process to perform some heavyweight coherency fixups, as well as
traversing the tree of waiters.

The two users of the return value from intel_engine_wakeup() are
expecting different results. In the breadcrumbs hangcheck, we are using
it to determine whether wake_up_process() detected the waiter was
currently running (and if so we presume that it hasn't yet missed the
interrupt). However, in the fake_irq path, we are using the return value
as a check as to whether there are any waiters, and so we may
incorrectly stop the fake-irq if that waiter was currently running.
To handle the two different needs, return both bits of information! We
uninline it from the irq path in preparation for the next patch which
makes the irq hotpath special and relegates intel_engine_wakeup() to the
slow fixup paths.

A request is assigned a global seqno only when it is on the hardware
execution queue. The global seqno can be used to maintain a list of
requests on the same engine in retirement order, for example for
constructing a priority queue for waiting. Prior to its execution, or
if it is subsequently removed in the event of preemption, its global
seqno is zero. As both insertion and removal from the execution queue
may operate in IRQ context, it is not guarded by the usual struct_mutex
BKL. Instead those relying on the global seqno must be prepared for its
value to change between reads. Only when the request is complete can
the global seqno be stable (due to the memory barriers on submitting
the commands to the hardware to write the breadcrumb, if the HWS shows
that it has passed the global seqno and the global seqno is unchanged
after the read, it is indeed complete).

Replace the global device seqno with one for each engine, and account
for in-flight seqno on each separately. This is consistent with
dma-fence as each timeline has separate fence-contexts for each engine
and a seqno is only ordered within a fence-context (i.e. seqno do not
need to be ordered wrt to other engines, just ordered within a single
engine). This is required to enable request rewinding for preemption on
individual engines (we have to rewind the global seqno to avoid
overflow, and we do not have to rewind all engines just to preempt one.)

This removes the usage of intel_ring_emit in favour of
directly writing to the ring buffer.
intel_ring_emit was preventing the compiler for optimising
fetch and increment of the current ring buffer pointer and
therefore generating very verbose code for every write.
It had no useful purpose since all ringbuffer operations
are started and ended with intel_ring_begin and
intel_ring_advance respectively, with no bail out in the
middle possible, so it is fine to increment the tail in
intel_ring_begin and let the code manage the pointer
itself.
Useless instruction removal amounts to approximately
two and half kilobytes of saved text on my build.
Not sure if this has any measurable performance
implications but executing a ton of useless instructions
on fast paths cannot be good.
