Some pieces of code are independent of hardware but are very tricky to
exercise through the normal userspace ABI or via debugfs hooks. Being
able to create mock unit tests and execute them through CI is vital.
Start by adding a central point where we can execute unit tests and
a parameter to enable them. This is disabled by default as the
expectation is that these tests will occasionally explode.
To facilitate integration with igt, any parameter beginning with
i915.igt__ is interpreted as a subtest executable independently via
igt/drv_selftest.
Two classes of selftests are recognised: mock unit tests and integration
tests. Mock unit tests are run as soon as the module is loaded, before
the device is probed. At that point there is no driver instantiated and
all hw interactions must be "mocked". This is very useful for writing
universal tests to exercise code not typically run on a broad range of
architectures. Alternatively, you can hook into the live selftests and
run when the device has been instantiated - hw interactions are real.
v2: Add a macro for compiling conditional code for mock objects inside
real objects.
v3: Differentiate between mock unit tests and late integration test.
v4: List the tests in natural order, use igt to sort after modparam.
v5: s/late/live/
v6: s/unsigned long/unsigned int/
v7: Use igt_ prefixes for long helpers.
v8: Deobfuscate macros overriding functions, stop using -I$(src)

Directly merge drm-misc into drm-intel since Dave is on vacation and
we need the various drm-misc patches (fb format rework, drm mm fixes,
selftest framework and others). Also pulled back -rc2 in first to
resync with drm-intel-fixes and make sure I can reuse the exact rerere
solutions from drm-tip for safety, and because I'm lazy.

First we introduce a smattering of infrastructure for writing selftests.
The idea is that we have a test module that exercises a particular
portion of the exported API, and that module provides a set of tests
that can either be run as an ensemble via kselftest or individually via
an igt harness (in this case igt/drm_mm). To accommodate selecting
individual tests, we export a boolean parameter to control selection of
each test - that is hidden inside a bunch of reusable boilerplate macros
to keep writing the tests simple.
v2: Choose a random random_seed unless one is specified by the user.
v3: More parameters to control max_iterations and max_prime of the
tests.
Testcase: igt/drm_mm

Although being a GPU driver most functionality of i915.ko depends upon
real hardware, many of its internal interfaces can be "mocked" and so
tested independently of any hardware. Expanding the test coverage is not
only useful for i915.ko, but should provide some integration tests for
core infrastructure as well.
Loading i915.ko with mock_selftests=-1 will cause it to execute its mock
tests then fail with -ENOTTY. If the driver is already loaded and bound
to hardware, it requires a few more steps to unbind, and so the simple
preliminary modprobe -r will fail.
