Lyude Paul 5e6c2b4f91 drm/vblank: Add vblank works
Add some kind of vblank workers. The interface is similar to regular
delayed works, and is mostly based off kthread_work. It allows for
scheduling delayed works that execute once a particular vblank sequence
has passed. It also allows for accurate flushing of scheduled vblank
works - in that flushing waits for both the vblank sequence and job
execution to complete, or for the work to get cancelled - whichever
comes first.

Whatever hardware programming we do in the work must be fast (must at
least complete during the vblank or scanout period, sometimes during the
first few scanlines of the vblank). As such we use a high-priority
per-CRTC thread to accomplish this.

Changes since v7:
* Stuff drm_vblank_internal.h and drm_vblank_work_internal.h contents
  into drm_internal.h
* Get rid of unnecessary spinlock in drm_crtc_vblank_on()
* Remove !vblank->worker check
* Grab vbl_lock in drm_vblank_work_schedule()
* Mention self-rearming work items in drm_vblank_work_schedule() kdocs
* Return 1 from drm_vblank_work_schedule() if the work was scheduled
  successfully, 0 or error code otherwise
* Use drm_dbg_core() instead of DRM_DEV_ERROR() in
  drm_vblank_work_schedule()
* Remove vblank->worker checks in drm_vblank_destroy_worker() and
  drm_vblank_flush_worker()
Changes since v6:
* Get rid of ->pending and seqcounts, and implement flushing through
  simpler means - danvet
* Get rid of work_lock, just use drm_device->event_lock
* Move drm_vblank_work item cleanup into drm_crtc_vblank_off() so that
  we ensure that all vblank work has finished before disabling vblanks
* Add checks into drm_crtc_vblank_reset() so we yell if it gets called
  while there's vblank workers active
* Grab event_lock in both drm_crtc_vblank_on()/drm_crtc_vblank_off(),
  the main reason for this is so that other threads calling
  drm_vblank_work_schedule() are blocked from attempting to schedule
  while we're in the middle of enabling/disabling vblanks.
* Move drm_handle_vblank_works() call below drm_handle_vblank_events()
* Simplify drm_vblank_work_cancel_sync()
* Fix drm_vblank_work_cancel_sync() documentation
* Move wake_up_all() calls out of spinlock where we can. The only one I
  left was the call to wake_up_all() in drm_vblank_handle_works() as
  this seemed like it made more sense just living in that function
  (which is all technically under lock)
* Move drm_vblank_work related functions into their own source files
* Add drm_vblank_internal.h so we can export some functions we don't
  want drivers using, but that we do need to use in drm_vblank_work.c
* Add a bunch of documentation
Changes since v4:
* Get rid of kthread interfaces we tried adding and move all of the
  locking into drm_vblank.c. For implementing drm_vblank_work_flush(),
  we now use a wait_queue and sequence counters in order to
  differentiate between multiple work item executions.
* Get rid of drm_vblank_work_cancel() - this would have been pretty
  difficult to actually reimplement and it occurred to me that neither
  nouveau or i915 are even planning to use this function. Since there's
  also no async cancel function for most of the work interfaces in the
  kernel, it seems a bit unnecessary anyway.
* Get rid of to_drm_vblank_work() since we now are also able to just
  pass the struct drm_vblank_work to work item callbacks anyway
Changes since v3:
* Use our own spinlocks, don't integrate so tightly with kthread_works
Changes since v2:
* Use kthread_workers instead of reinventing the wheel.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
