Joseph Greathouse b8020b0304 drm/amdkfd: Enable over-subscription with >1 GWS queue
The current GWS usage model will only allows a single GWS-enabled
process to be active on the GPU at once. This ensures that a
barrier-using kernel gets a known amount of GPU hardware, to
prevent deadlock due to inability to go beyond the GWS barrier.

The HWS watches how many GWS entries are assigned to each process,
and goes into over-subscription mode when two processes need more
than the 64 that are available. The current KFD method for working
with this is to allocate all 64 GWS entries to each GWS-capable
process.

When more than one GWS-enabled process is in the runlist, we must
make sure the runlist is in over-subscription mode, so that the
HWS gets a chained RUN_LIST packet and continues scheduling
kernels.

README

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.
