Inside the execlists submission tasklet, we often make the mistake of
assuming that everything beneath the request is available for use.
However, the submission and the request live on two separate timelines,
and the request contents may be freed from an early retirement before we
have had a chance to run the submission tasklet (think ksoftirqd). To
safeguard ourselves against any mistakes, flush the tasklet before we
unpin the context if execlists still has a reference to this context.

Userspace should be free to race against itself and shoot itself in
the foot if it so desires to adjust a parameter at the same time as
submitting a batch to that context. As such, the struct_mutex in context
setparam is only being used to serialise userspace against itself and
not for any protection of internal structs and so is superfluous.

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.

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).

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

they are not tied to HW, we keep the i915 prefix as opposed to intel.)
In short, the spatch:

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.

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.

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)
