Tvrtko Ursulin 27af5eea54 drm/i915: Move execlists irq handler to a bottom half
Doing a lot of work in the interrupt handler introduces huge
latencies to the system as a whole.

Most dramatic effect can be seen by running an all engine
stress test like igt/gem_exec_nop/all where, when the kernel
config is lean enough, the whole system can be brought into
multi-second periods of complete non-interactivty. That can
look for example like this:

I could not explain, or find a code path, which would explain
a +20 second lockup, but from some instrumentation it was
apparent the interrupts off proportion of time was between
10-25% under heavy load which is quite bad.

When a interrupt "cliff" is reached, which was >~320k irq/s on
my machine, the whole system goes into a terrible state of the
above described multi-second lockups.

By moving the GT interrupt handling to a tasklet in a most
simple way, the problem above disappears completely.

Testing the effect on sytem-wide latencies using
igt/gem_syslatency shows the following before this patch:

gem_syslatency: cycles=1532739, latency mean=416531.829us max=2499237us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1839434, latency mean=1458099.157us max=4998944us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1432570, latency mean=2688.451us max=1201185us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1533543, latency mean=416520.499us max=2498886us

This shows that the unrelated process is experiencing huge
delays in its wake-up latency. After the patch the results
look like this:

gem_syslatency: cycles=808907, latency mean=53.133us max=1640us
gem_syslatency: cycles=862154, latency mean=62.778us max=2117us
gem_syslatency: cycles=856039, latency mean=58.079us max=2123us
gem_syslatency: cycles=841683, latency mean=56.914us max=1667us

Showing a huge improvement in the unrelated process wake-up
latency. It also shows an approximate halving in the number
of total empty batches submitted during the test. This may
not be worrying since the test puts the driver under
a very unrealistic load with ncpu threads doing empty batch
submission to all GPU engines each.

Another benefit compared to the hard-irq handling is that now
work on all engines can be dispatched in parallel since we can
have up to number of CPUs active tasklets. (While previously
a single hard-irq would serially dispatch on one engine after
another.)

More interesting scenario with regards to throughput is
"gem_latency -n 100" which  shows 25% better throughput and
CPU usage, and 14% better dispatch latencies.

I did not find any gains or regressions with Synmark2 or
GLbench under light testing. More benchmarking is certainly
required.

v2:
   * execlists_lock should be taken as spin_lock_bh when
     queuing work from userspace now. (Chris Wilson)
   * uncore.lock must be taken with spin_lock_irq when
     submitting requests since that now runs from either
     softirq or process context.

v3:
   * Expanded commit message with more testing data;
   * converted missed locking sites to _bh;
   * added execlist_lock comment. (Chris Wilson)

v4:
   * Mention dispatch parallelism in commit. (Chris Wilson)
   * Do not hold uncore.lock over MMIO reads since the block
     is already serialised per-engine via the tasklet itself.
     (Chris Wilson)
   * intel_lrc_irq_handler should be static. (Chris Wilson)
   * Cancel/sync the tasklet on GPU reset. (Chris Wilson)
   * Document and WARN that tasklet cannot be active/pending
     on engine cleanup. (Chris Wilson/Imre Deak)
