Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one
request, and to give it a longer, less appealing name).

We want to allow userspace to reconfigure the subslice configuration on a
per context basis.
This is required for the functional requirement of shutting down non-VME
enabled sub-slices on Gen11 parts.
To do so, we expose a context parameter to allow adjustment of the RPCS
register stored within the context image (and currently not accessible via
LRI).
If the context is adjusted before first use or whilst idle, the adjustment
is for "free"; otherwise if the context is active we queue a request to do
so (using the kernel context), following all other activity by that
context, which is also marked as barrier for all following submission
against the same context.
Since the overhead of device re-configuration during context switching can
be significant, especially in multi-context workloads, we limit this new
uAPI to only support the Gen11 VME use case. In this use case either the
device is fully enabled, and exactly one slice and half of the subslices
are enabled.
Example usage:
struct drm_i915_gem_context_param_sseu sseu = { };
struct drm_i915_gem_context_param arg = {
.param = I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_SSEU,
.ctx_id = gem_context_create(fd),
.size = sizeof(sseu),
.value = to_user_pointer(&sseu)
};
/* Query device defaults. */
gem_context_get_param(fd, &arg);
/* Set VME configuration on a 1x6x8 part. */
sseu.slice_mask = 0x1;
sseu.subslice_mask = 0xe0;
gem_context_set_param(fd, &arg);

A few years ago, see commit 688e6c7258 ("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 688e6c7258, 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
688e6c7258 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.

Inside the execlists submission tasklet, we often make the mistake of
assuming that everything beneath the request is available for use.
However, the submission and the request live on two separate timelines,
and the request contents may be freed from an early retirement before we
have had a chance to run the submission tasklet (think ksoftirqd). To
safeguard ourselves against any mistakes, flush the tasklet before we
unpin the context if execlists still has a reference to this context.

Future gen reduce the number of bits we will have available to
differentiate between contexts, so reduce the lifetime of the ID
assignment from that of the context to its current active cycle (i.e.
only while it is pinned for use by the HW, will it have a constant ID).
This means that instead of a max of 2k allocated contexts (worst case
before fun with bit twiddling), we instead have a limit of 2k in flight
contexts (minus a few that have been pinned by the kernel or by perf).
To reduce the number of contexts id we require, we allocate a context id
on first and mark it as pinned for as long as the GEM context itself is,
that is we keep it pinned it while active on each engine. If we exhaust
our context id space, then we try to reclaim an id from an idle context.
In the extreme case where all context ids are pinned by active contexts,
we force the system to idle in order to recover ids.
We cannot reduce the scope of an HW-ID to an engine (allowing the same
gem_context to have different ids on each engine) as in the future we
will need to preassign an id before we know which engine the
context is being executed on.

In the future, we want to move a request between engines. To achieve
this, we first realise that we have two timelines in effect here. The
first runs through the GTT is required for ordering vma access, which is
tracked currently by engine. The second is implied by sequential
execution of commands inside the ringbuffer. This timeline is one that
maps to userspace's expectations when submitting requests (i.e. given the
same context, batch A is executed before batch B). As the rings's
timelines map to userspace and the GTT timeline an implementation
detail, move the timeline from the GTT into the ring itself (per-context
in logical-ring-contexts/execlists, or a global per-engine timeline for
the shared ringbuffers in legacy submission.
The two timelines are still assumed to be equivalent at the moment (no
migrating requests between engines yet) and so we can simply move from
one to the other without adding extra ordering.

timeline with the client timeline from userspace (on the ring).

This was the competing idea long ago, but it was only with the rewrite
of the idr as an radixtree and using the radixtree directly ourselves,
along with the realisation that we can store the vma directly in the
radixtree and only need a list for the reverse mapping, that made the
patch performant enough to displace using a hashtable. Though the vma ht
is fast and doesn't require any extra allocation (as we can embed the node
inside the vma), it does require a thread for resizing and serialization
and will have the occasional slow lookup. That is hairy enough to
investigate alternatives and favour them if equivalent in peak performance.
One advantage of allocating an indirection entry is that we can support a
single shared bo between many clients, something that was done on a
first-come first-serve basis for shared GGTT vma previously. To offset
the extra allocations, we create yet another kmem_cache for them.

Since we make call i915_gem_context_mark_guilty() concurrently when
resetting different engines in parallel, we need to make sure that our
updates are safe for the unlocked access.

Whilst the contents of the context is still protected by the big
struct_mutex, this is not much of an improvement. It is just one tiny
step towards reducing our BKL.

If we move the actual cleanup of the context to a worker, we can allow
the final free to be called from any context and avoid undue latency in
the caller.
v2: Negotiate handling the delayed contexts free by flushing the
workqueue before calling i915_gem_context_fini() and performing the final
free of the kernel context directly
v3: Flush deferred frees before new context allocations

The advent of full-ppgtt lead to an extra indirection between the object
and its binding. That extra indirection has a noticeable impact on how
fast we can convert from the user handles to our internal vma for
execbuffer. In order to bypass the extra indirection, we use a
resizable hashtable to jump from the object to the per-ctx vma.
rhashtable was considered but we don't need the online resizing feature
and the extra complexity proved to undermine its usefulness. Instead, we
simply reallocate the hastable on demand in a background task and
serialize it before iterating.
In non-full-ppgtt modes, multiple files and multiple contexts can share
the same vma. This leads to having multiple possible handle->vma links,
so we only use the first to establish the fast path. The majority of
buffers are not shared and so we should still be able to realise
speedups with multiple clients.
v2: Prettier names, more magic.
v3: Many style tweaks, most notably hiding the misuse of execobj[].rsvd2

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)

No hardware was ever shipped that needed more than 4096 byte alignment
and future hardware will not use this legacy path. So reduce the

The kernel context (dev_priv->kernel_context) is unique in that it is
not associated with any user filp - it is the only one with
ctx->file_priv == NULL. This is a simpler test than comparing it against
dev_priv->kernel_context which involves some pointer dancing.
In checking that this is true, we notice that the gvt context is
allocating itself a i915_hw_ppgtt it doesn't use and not flagging that
its file_priv should be invalid.
