Enable RCU protection of i915_address_space and its ppgtt superclasses,
and defer its cleanup into a worker executed after an RCU grace period.
In the future we will be able to use the RCU protection to reduce the
locking around VM lookups, but the immediate benefit is being able to
defer the release into a kworker (process context). This is required as
we may need to sleep to reap the WC pages stashed away inside the ppgtt.

When using a global seqno, we required a precise stop-the-workd event to
handle preemption and unwind the global seqno counter. To accomplish
this, we would preempt to a special out-of-band context and wait for the
machine to report that it was idle. Given an idle machine, we could very
precisely see which requests had completed and which we needed to feed
back into the run queue.
However, now that we have scrapped the global seqno, we no longer need
to precisely unwind the global counter and only track requests by their
per-context seqno. This allows us to loosely unwind inflight requests
while scheduling a preemption, with the enormous caveat that the
requests we put back on the run queue are still _inflight_ (until the
preemption request is complete). This makes request tracking much more
messy, as at any point then we can see a completed request that we
believe is not currently scheduled for execution. We also have to be
careful not to rewind RING_TAIL past RING_HEAD on preempting to the
running context, and for this we use a semaphore to prevent completion
of the request before continuing.
To accomplish this feat, we change how we track requests scheduled to
the HW. Instead of appending our requests onto a single list as we
submit, we track each submission to ELSP as its own block. Then upon
receiving the CS preemption event, we promote the pending block to the
inflight block (discarding what was previously being tracked). As normal
CS completion events arrive, we then remove stale entries from the
inflight tracker.
v2: Be a tinge paranoid and ensure we flush the write into the HWS page
for the GPU semaphore to pick in a timely fashion.

To continue the onslaught of removing the assumption of a global

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

Some users require that when a master batch is executed on one particular
engine, a companion batch is run simultaneously on a specific slave
engine. For this purpose, we introduce virtual engine bonding, allowing
maps of master:slaves to be constructed to constrain which physical
engines a virtual engine may select given a fence on a master engine.
For the moment, we continue to ignore the issue of preemption deferring
the master request for later. Ideally, we would like to then also remove
the slave and run something else rather than have it stall the pipeline.
With load balancing, we should be able to move workload around it, but
there is a similar stall on the master pipeline while it may wait for
the slave to be executed. At the cost of more latency for the bonded
request, it may be interesting to launch both on their engines in
lockstep. (Bubbles abound.)

break anything internally, so allow the silliness.

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.

avoid requiring struct_mutex for request allocation along the
perma-pinned kernel context, but it also provides a foundation for
breaking up the complex request allocation to handle different scenarios
inside execbuf.
For the purpose of emitting a request from inside retirement (see the
next patch for engine power management), we also need to lift control
over the timeline mutex to the caller.
v2: Note that the request carries the active reference upon construction.

Start partitioning off the code that talks to the hardware (GT) from the
uapi layers and move the device facing code under gt/
One casualty is s/intel_ringbuffer.h/intel_engine.h/ with the plan to
subdivide that header and body further (and split out the submission
code from the ringbuffer and logical context handling). This patch aims
to be simple motion so git can fixup inflight patches with little mess.

The RING_NONPRIV allows us to add registers to a whitelist that allows
userspace to modify them. Ideally such registers should be safe and
saved within the context such that they do not impact system behaviour
for other users. This selftest verifies that those registers we do add
are (a) then writable by userspace and (b) only affect a single client.
Opens:
- Is GEN9_SLICE_COMMON_ECO_CHICKEN1 really write-only?
v2: Remove the blatant copy-paste.
v3: Emulate userspace register writes via the batch again.
