As Chris has discovered on his Ivybridge, and later automated test runs
have confirmed, on most of our platforms hrtimer faced with heavy GPU load
can occasionally become sufficiently imprecise to affect PMU sampling
calculations.
This means we cannot assume sampling frequency is what we asked for, but
we need to measure the interval ourselves.
This patch is similar to Chris' original proposal for per-engine counters,
but instead of introducing a new set to work around the problem with
frequency sampling, it swaps around the way internal frequency accounting
is done. Instead of accumulating current frequency and dividing by
sampling frequency on readout, it accumulates frequency scaled by each
period.

We are not allowed to call intel_runtime_pm_get from the PMU counter read
callback since the former can sleep, and the latter is running under IRQ
context.
To workaround this, we record the last known RC6 and while runtime
suspended estimate its increase by querying the runtime PM core
timestamps.
Downside of this approach is that we can temporarily lose a chunk of RC6
time, from the last PMU read-out to runtime suspend entry, but that will
eventually catch up, once device comes back online and in the presence of
PMU queries.
Also, we have to be careful not to overshoot the RC6 estimate, so once
resumed after a period of approximation, we only update the counter once
it catches up. With the observation that RC6 is increasing while the
device is suspended, this should not pose a problem and can only cause
slight inaccuracies due clock base differences.
v2: Simplify by estimating on top of PM core counters. (Imre)

Switch over to dynamically creating device attributes, which are in turn
used by the perf core to expose available counters in sysfs.
This way we do not expose counters which are not avaiable on the current
platform, and are so more consistent between what we reply to open
attempts via the perf_event_open(2), and what is discoverable in sysfs.
v2:
* Simplify attribute pointer freeing loop.
* Changed attr init from macro to function.
* More common error unwind. (Chris Wilson)
* Rename some locals. (Chris Wilson)

Averaging with the previous sample brings a small statistical improvement
to sampling counters, but can leek a little bit of state from a current
client to the next which mulls the border between past and present for
observing clients.
This is because on event enable clients record the current counter value
and use it as reference, but with rapid off-on event cycles, and due the
delayed nature of sampling timer self-disarm, previous sample value does
not get cleared under these circumstances.
Solution is to stop averaging with the previous sample. This has a small
downside of losing some precision with short and spiky signals, but the
alternatives look too complicated for the benefit.

The first goal is to be able to measure GPU (and invidual ring) busyness
without having to poll registers from userspace. (Which not only incurs
holding the forcewake lock indefinitely, perturbing the system, but also
runs the risk of hanging the machine.) As an alternative we can use the
perf event counter interface to sample the ring registers periodically
and send those results to userspace.
Functionality we are exporting to userspace is via the existing perf PMU
API and can be exercised via the existing tools. For example:
perf stat -a -e i915/rcs0-busy/ -I 1000
Will print the render engine busynnes once per second. All the performance
counters can be enumerated (perf list) and have their unit of measure
correctly reported in sysfs.
v1-v2 (Chris Wilson):
v2: Use a common timer for the ring sampling.
v3: (Tvrtko Ursulin)
* Decouple uAPI from i915 engine ids.
* Complete uAPI defines.
* Refactor some code to helpers for clarity.
* Skip sampling disabled engines.
* Expose counters in sysfs.
* Pass in fake regs to avoid null ptr deref in perf core.
* Convert to class/instance uAPI.
* Use shared driver code for rc6 residency, power and frequency.
v4: (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
* Register PMU with .task_ctx_nr=perf_invalid_context
* Expose cpumask for the PMU with the single CPU in the mask
* Properly support pmu->stop(): it should call pmu->read()
* Properly support pmu->del(): it should call stop(event, PERF_EF_UPDATE)
* Introduce refcounting of event subscriptions.
* Make pmu.busy_stats a refcounter to avoid busy stats going away
with some deleted event.
* Expose cpumask for i915 PMU to avoid multiple events creation of
the same type followed by counter aggregation by perf-stat.
* Track CPUs getting online/offline to migrate perf context. If (likely)
cpumask will initially set CPU0, CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 will be
needed to see effect of CPU status tracking.
* End result is that only global events are supported and perf stat
works correctly.
* Deny perf driver level sampling - it is prohibited for uncore PMU.
v5: (Tvrtko Ursulin)
* Don't hardcode number of engine samplers.
* Rewrite event ref-counting for correctness and simplicity.
* Store initial counter value when starting already enabled events
to correctly report values to all listeners.
* Fix RC6 residency readout.
* Comments, GPL header.
v6:
* Add missing entry to v4 changelog.
* Fix accounting in CPU hotplug case by copying the approach from
arch/x86/events/intel/cstate.c. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
v7:
* Log failure message only on failure.
* Remove CPU hotplug notification state on unregister.
v8:
* Fix error unwind on failed registration.
* Checkpatch cleanup.
v9:
* Drop the energy metric, it is available via intel_rapl_perf.
(Ville Syrjälä)
* Use HAS_RC6(p). (Chris Wilson)
* Handle unsupported non-engine events. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
* Rebase for intel_rc6_residency_ns needing caller managed
runtime pm.
* Drop HAS_RC6 checks from the read callback since creating those
events will be rejected at init time already.
* Add counter units to sysfs so perf stat output is nicer.
* Cleanup the attribute tables for brevity and readability.
v10:
* Fixed queued accounting.
v11:
* Move intel_engine_lookup_user to intel_engine_cs.c
* Commit update. (Joonas Lahtinen)
v12:
* More accurate sampling. (Chris Wilson)
* Store and report frequency in MHz for better usability from
perf stat.
* Removed metrics: queued, interrupts, rc6 counters.
* Sample engine busyness based on seqno difference only
for less MMIO (and forcewake) on all platforms. (Chris Wilson)
v13:
* Comment spelling, use mul_u32_u32 to work around potential GCC
issue and somne code alignment changes. (Chris Wilson)
v14:
* Rebase.
v15:
* Rebase for RPS refactoring.
v16:
* Use the dynamic slot in the CPU hotplug state machine so that we are
free to setup our state as multi-instance. Previously we were re-using
the CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_UNCORE_ONLINE slot which is neither used as
multi-instance, nor owned by our driver to start with.
* Register the CPU hotplug handlers after the PMU, otherwise the callback
will get called before the PMU is initialized which can end up in
perf_pmu_migrate_context with an un-initialized base.
* Added workaround for a probable bug in cpuhp core.
v17:
* Remove workaround for the cpuhp bug.
v18:
* Rebase for drm_i915_gem_engine_class getting upstream before us.
v19:
* Rebase. (trivial)
