In the next patch, we are introducing a broad virtual engine to encompass
multiple physical engines, losing the 1:1 nature of BIT(engine->id). To
reflect the broader set of engines implied by the virtual instance, lets
store the full bitmask.
v2: Use intel_engine_mask_t (s/ring_mask/engine_mask/)
v3: Tvrtko voted for moah churn so teach everyone to not mention ring
and use $class$instance throughout.
v4: Comment upon the disparity in bspec for using VCS1,VCS2 in gen8 and
VCS[0-4] in later gen. We opt to keep the code consistent and use
0-index naming throughout.

A simple mutex used for guarding the flow of requests in and out of the
timeline. In the short-term, it will be used only to guard the addition
of requests into the timeline, taken on alloc and released on commit so
that only one caller can construct a request into the timeline
(important as the seqno and ring pointers must be serialised). This will
be used by observers to ensure that the seqno/hwsp is stable. Later,
when we have reduced retiring to only operate on a single timeline at a
time, we can then use the mutex as the sole guard required for retiring.

At a few points in our uABI, we check to see if the driver is wedged and
report -EIO back to the user in that case. However, as we perform the
check and reset asynchronously (where once before they were both
serialised by the struct_mutex), we may instead see the temporary wedging
used to cancel inflight rendering to avoid a deadlock during reset
(caused by either us timing out in our reset handler,
i915_wedge_on_timeout or with malice aforethought in intel_reset_prepare
for a stuck modeset). If we suspect this is the case, that is we see a
wedged driver *and* reset in progress, then wait until the reset is
resolved before reporting upon the wedged status.

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.

Before adding yet another copy of struct live_test and its handler,
refactor the existing code into a common framework for live selftests.
For many live selftests, we want to know if the GPU hung or otherwise
misbehaved during the execution of the test (beyond any infraction in
the behaviour under test), live_test provides this by comparing the
GPU state before and after, alerting if it unexpectedly changed (e.g.
the reset counter changed). It also ensures that the GPU is idle before
and after the test, so that residual code running on the GPU is flushed
before testing.

The majority of runtime-pm operations are bounded and scoped within a
function; these are easy to verify that the wakeref are handled
correctly. We can employ the compiler to help us, and reduce the number
of wakerefs tracked when debugging, by passing around cookies provided
by the various rpm_get functions to their rpm_put counterpart. This
makes the pairing explicit, and given the required wakeref cookie the
compiler can verify that we pass an initialised value to the rpm_put
(quite handy for double checking error paths).
For regular builds, the compiler should be able to eliminate the unused
local variables and the program growth should be minimal. Fwiw, it came
out as a net improvement as gcc was able to refactor rpm_get and
rpm_get_if_in_use together,
v2: Just s/rpm_put/rpm_put_unchecked/ everywhere, leaving the manual
mark up for smaller more targeted patches.
v3: Mention the cookie in Returns

Usually we have no idea about the upper bound we need to wait to catch
up with userspace when idling the device, but in a few situations we
know the system was idle beforehand and can provide a short timeout in
order to very quickly catch a failure, long before hangcheck kicks in.
In the following patches, we will use the timeout to curtain two overly
long waits, where we know we can expect the GPU to complete within a
reasonable time or declare it broken.
In particular, with a broken GPU we expect it to fail during the initial
GPU setup where do a couple of context switches to record the defaults.
This is a task that takes a few milliseconds even on the slowest of
devices, but we may have to wait 60s for hangcheck to give in and
declare the machine inoperable. In this a case where any gpu hang is
unacceptable, both from a timeliness and practical standpoint.
The other improvement is that in selftests, we do not need to arm an
independent timer to inject a wedge, as we can just limit the timeout on
the wait directly.
v2: Include the timeout parameter in the trace.

Handling such a late error in request construction is tricky, but to
accommodate future patches which may allocate here, we potentially could
err. To handle the error after already adjusting global state to track
the new request, we must finish and submit the request. But we don't
want to use the request as not everything is being tracked by it, so we
opt to cancel the commands inside the request.

For symmetry, simplicity and ensuring the request is always truly idle
upon its completion, always emit the closing flush prior to emitting the
request breadcrumb. Previously, we would only emit the flush if we had
started a user batch, but this just leaves all the other paths open to
speculation (do they affect the GPU caches or not?) With mm switching, a
key requirement is that the GPU is flushed and invalidated before hand,
so for absolute safety, we want that closing flush be mandatory.

We want to de-emphasize the link between the request (dependency,
execution and fence tracking) from GEM and so rename the struct from
drm_i915_gem_request to i915_request. That is we may implement the GEM
user interface on top of requests, but they are an abstraction for
tracking execution rather than an implementation detail of GEM. (Since
they are not tied to HW, we keep the i915 prefix as opposed to intel.)
In short, the spatch:

- struct drm_i915_gem_request
+ struct i915_request
A corollary to contracting the type name, we also harmonise on using
'rq' shorthand for local variables where space if of the essence and
repetition makes 'request' unwieldy. For globals and struct members,
'request' is still much preferred for its clarity.
