Over the last few years, we have debated how to extend the user API to
support an increase in the number of engines, that may be sparse and
even be heterogeneous within a class (not all video decoders created
equal). We settled on using (class, instance) tuples to identify a
specific engine, with an API for the user to construct a map of engines
to capabilities. Into this picture, we then add a challenge of virtual
engines; one user engine that maps behind the scenes to any number of
physical engines. To keep it general, we want the user to have full
control over that mapping. To that end, we allow the user to constrain a
context to define the set of engines that it can access, order fully
controlled by the user via (class, instance). With such precise control
in context setup, we can continue to use the existing execbuf uABI of
specifying a single index; only now it doesn't automagically map onto
the engines, it uses the user defined engine map from the context.
v2: Fixup freeing of local on success of get_engines()
v3: Allow empty engines[]
v4: s/nengine/num_engines/
v5: Replace 64 limit on num_engines with a note that execbuf is

We switched to a tree of per-engine HW context to accommodate the
introduction of virtual engines. However, we plan to also support
multiple instances of the same engine within the GEM context, defeating
our use of the engine as a key to looking up the HW context. Just
allocate a logical per-engine instance and always use an index into the
ctx->engines[]. Later on, this ctx->engines[] may be replaced by a user
specified map.

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.

Currently, we accumulate each time a context hangs the GPU, offset
against the number of requests it submits, and if that score exceeds a
certain threshold, we ban that context from submitting any more requests
(cancelling any work in flight). In contrast, we use a simple timer on
the file, that if we see more than a 9 hangs faster than 60s apart in
total across all of its contexts, we will ban the client from creating
any more contexts. This leads to a confusing situation where the file
may be banned before the context, so lets use a simple timer scheme for
each.
If the context submits 3 hanging requests within a 120s period, declare
it forbidden to ever send more requests.
This has the advantage of not being easy to repair by simply sending
empty requests, but has the disadvantage that if the context is idle
then it is forgiven. However, if the context is idle, it is not
disrupting the system, but a hog can evade the request counting and
cause much more severe disruption to the system.
Updating ban_score from request retirement is dubious as the retirement
is purposely not in sync with request submission (i.e. we try and batch
retirement to reduce overhead and avoid latency on submission), which
leads to surprising situations where we can forgive a hang immediately
due to a backlog of requests from before the hang being retired
afterwards.

Some clients, such as mesa, may only emit minimal incremental batches
that rely on the logical context state from previous batches. They know
that recovery is impossible after a hang as their required GPU state is
lost, and that each in flight and subsequent batch will hang (resetting
the context image back to default perpetuating the problem).
To avoid getting into the state in the first place, we can allow clients
to opt out of automatic recovery and elect to ban any guilty context
following a hang. This prevents the continual stream of hangs and allows
the client to recreate their context and rebuild the state from scratch.
v2: Prefer calling it recoverable rather than unrecoverable.

Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to

We want to allow userspace to reconfigure the subslice configuration on a
per context basis.
This is required for the functional requirement of shutting down non-VME
enabled sub-slices on Gen11 parts.
To do so, we expose a context parameter to allow adjustment of the RPCS
register stored within the context image (and currently not accessible via
LRI).
If the context is adjusted before first use or whilst idle, the adjustment
is for "free"; otherwise if the context is active we queue a request to do
so (using the kernel context), following all other activity by that
context, which is also marked as barrier for all following submission
against the same context.
Since the overhead of device re-configuration during context switching can
be significant, especially in multi-context workloads, we limit this new
uAPI to only support the Gen11 VME use case. In this use case either the
device is fully enabled, and exactly one slice and half of the subslices
are enabled.
Example usage:
struct drm_i915_gem_context_param_sseu sseu = { };
struct drm_i915_gem_context_param arg = {
.param = I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_SSEU,
.ctx_id = gem_context_create(fd),
.size = sizeof(sseu),
.value = to_user_pointer(&sseu)
};
/* Query device defaults. */
gem_context_get_param(fd, &arg);
/* Set VME configuration on a 1x6x8 part. */
sseu.slice_mask = 0x1;

A few years ago, see commit 688e6c7258 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the
thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple
clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The
requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its
request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead.
To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a
simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost
unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so
request completion checking required delegation.
Before commit 688e6c7258, the solution was simple. Every client
waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do
a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit
688e6c7258 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on
the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on.
(Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered
along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide
a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.)
The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global
seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts
queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by
only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we
keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we
inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence
signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence
signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW
being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the
interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case).
Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by
inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays
on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to
perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to
preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine,
with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups.
In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same
(about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent
in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is
improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio.
v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to
warm even the most cold of hearts.
v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting
v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe
and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops
v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.

Future gen reduce the number of bits we will have available to
differentiate between contexts, so reduce the lifetime of the ID
assignment from that of the context to its current active cycle (i.e.
only while it is pinned for use by the HW, will it have a constant ID).
This means that instead of a max of 2k allocated contexts (worst case
before fun with bit twiddling), we instead have a limit of 2k in flight
contexts (minus a few that have been pinned by the kernel or by perf).
To reduce the number of contexts id we require, we allocate a context id
on first and mark it as pinned for as long as the GEM context itself is,
that is we keep it pinned it while active on each engine. If we exhaust
our context id space, then we try to reclaim an id from an idle context.
In the extreme case where all context ids are pinned by active contexts,
we force the system to idle in order to recover ids.
We cannot reduce the scope of an HW-ID to an engine (allowing the same
gem_context to have different ids on each engine) as in the future we
will need to preassign an id before we know which engine the
context is being executed on.

Since ggtt_offset_bias is now stored in ggtt.pin_bias, it is duplicated

Added a helper function to retrieve the ggtt.pin_bias from the vma.
v4:
Moved the helper function to the previous patch in the series.
Dropped the bias from intel_ring_pin. This introduces a slight functional

even though we don't really need to.

As all backends implement the same pin_count mechanism and do a
dec-and-test as their first step, pull that into the common
intel_context_unpin(). This also pulls into the caller, eliminating the
indirect call in the usual steady state case. The intel_context_pin()
side is a little more complicated as it combines the lookup/alloc as
well as pinning the state, and so is left for a later date.

We need to move to a more flexible timeline that doesn't assume one
fence context per engine, and so allow for a single timeline to be used
across a combination of engines. This means that preallocating a fence
context per engine is now a hindrance, and so we want to introduce the
singular timeline. From the code perspective, this has the notable
advantage of clearing up a lot of mirky semantics and some clumsy
pointer chasing.
By splitting the timeline up into a single entity rather than an array
of per-engine timelines, we can realise the goal of the previous patch
of tracking the timeline alongside the ring.

In the future, we want to move a request between engines. To achieve
this, we first realise that we have two timelines in effect here. The
first runs through the GTT is required for ordering vma access, which is
tracked currently by engine. The second is implied by sequential
execution of commands inside the ringbuffer. This timeline is one that
maps to userspace's expectations when submitting requests (i.e. given the
same context, batch A is executed before batch B). As the rings's
timelines map to userspace and the GTT timeline an implementation
detail, move the timeline from the GTT into the ring itself (per-context
in logical-ring-contexts/execlists, or a global per-engine timeline for
the shared ringbuffers in legacy submission.
The two timelines are still assumed to be equivalent at the moment (no
migrating requests between engines yet) and so we can simply move from
one to the other without adding extra ordering.
v2: Reinforce that one isn't allowed to mix the engine execution
timeline with the client timeline from userspace (on the ring).

We want to de-emphasize the link between the request (dependency,
execution and fence tracking) from GEM and so rename the struct from
drm_i915_gem_request to i915_request. That is we may implement the GEM
user interface on top of requests, but they are an abstraction for
tracking execution rather than an implementation detail of GEM. (Since
they are not tied to HW, we keep the i915 prefix as opposed to intel.)
In short, the spatch:

- struct drm_i915_gem_request
+ struct i915_request
A corollary to contracting the type name, we also harmonise on using
'rq' shorthand for local variables where space if of the essence and
repetition makes 'request' unwieldy. For globals and struct members,
'request' is still much preferred for its clarity.

Take a copy of the HW state after a reset upon module loading by
executing a context switch from a blank context to the kernel context,
thus saving the default hw state over the blank context image.
We can then use the default hw state to initialise any future context,
ensuring that each starts with the default view of hw state.
v2: Unmap our default state from the GTT after stealing it from the
context. This should stop us from accidentally overwriting it via the
GTT (and frees up some precious GTT space).

This was the competing idea long ago, but it was only with the rewrite
of the idr as an radixtree and using the radixtree directly ourselves,
along with the realisation that we can store the vma directly in the
radixtree and only need a list for the reverse mapping, that made the
patch performant enough to displace using a hashtable. Though the vma ht
is fast and doesn't require any extra allocation (as we can embed the node
inside the vma), it does require a thread for resizing and serialization
and will have the occasional slow lookup. That is hairy enough to
investigate alternatives and favour them if equivalent in peak performance.
One advantage of allocating an indirection entry is that we can support a
single shared bo between many clients, something that was done on a
first-come first-serve basis for shared GGTT vma previously. To offset
the extra allocations, we create yet another kmem_cache for them.

The advent of full-ppgtt lead to an extra indirection between the object
and its binding. That extra indirection has a noticeable impact on how
fast we can convert from the user handles to our internal vma for
execbuffer. In order to bypass the extra indirection, we use a
resizable hashtable to jump from the object to the per-ctx vma.
rhashtable was considered but we don't need the online resizing feature
and the extra complexity proved to undermine its usefulness. Instead, we
simply reallocate the hastable on demand in a background task and
serialize it before iterating.
In non-full-ppgtt modes, multiple files and multiple contexts can share
the same vma. This leads to having multiple possible handle->vma links,
so we only use the first to establish the fast path. The majority of
buffers are not shared and so we should still be able to realise
speedups with multiple clients.
v2: Prettier names, more magic.
v3: Many style tweaks, most notably hiding the misuse of execobj[].rsvd2

GVTg has introduced the context status notifier to schedule the GVTg
workload. At that time, the notifier is bound to GVTg context only,
so GVTg is not aware of host workloads.
Now we are going to improve GVTg's guest workload scheduler policy,
and add Guc emulation support for new Gen graphics. Both these two
features require acknowledgment for all contexts running on hardware.
(But will not alter host workload.) So here try to make some change.
The change is simple:
1. Move the context status notifier head from i915_gem_context to
intel_engine_cs. Which means there is a notifier head per engine
instead of per context. Execlist driver still call notifier for
each context sched-in/out events of current engine.
2. At GVTg side, it binds a notifier_block for each physical engine
at GVTg initialization period. Then GVTg can hear all context
status events.
In this patch, GVTg do nothing for host context event, but later
will add a function there. But in any case, the notifier callback is
a noop if this is no active vGPU.
Since intel_gvt_init() is called at early initialization stage and
require the status notifier head has been initiated, I initiate it in
intel_engine_setup().
v2: remove a redundant newline. (chris)
