If the request is currently on the HW (in port 0), then we do not need
to kick the submission tasklet to evaluate whether we should be
preempting itself in order to execute it again.
In the case that was annoying me:
execlists_schedule: rq(18:211173).prio=0 -> 2
need_preempt: last(18:211174).prio=0, queue.prio=2
We are bumping the priority of the first of a pair of requests running
in the current context. Then when evaluating preempt, we would see that
that our priority request is higher than the last executing request in
ELSP0 and so trigger preemption, not realising that our intended request
was already executing.
v2: As we assume state of the execlists->port[] that is only valid while
we hold the timeline lock we have to repeat some earlier tests that on
the validity of the node.
v3: Wrap guc submission under the timeline.lock as is now the way of all
things.

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.

There are two issues with the current RPCS programming for Icelake:
Expansion of the slice count bitfield has been missed, as well as the
required programming workaround for the subslice count bitfield size
limitation.
1)
Bitfield width for configuring the active slice count has grown so we need
to program the GEN8_R_PWR_CLK_STATE accordingly.
Current code was always requesting eight times the number of slices (due
writing to a bitfield starting three bits higher than it should). These
requests were luckily a) capped by the hardware to the available number of
slices, and b) we haven't yet exported the code to ask for reduced slice
configurations.
Due both of the above there was no impact from this incorrect programming
but we should still fix it.
2)
Due subslice count bitfield being only three bits wide and furthermore
capped to a maximum documented value of four, special programming
workaround is needed to enable more than four subslices.
With this programming driver has to consider the GT configuration as
2x4x8, while the hardware internally translates this to 1x8x8.
A limitation stemming from this is that either a subslice count between
one and four can be selected, or a subslice count equaling the total
number of subslices in all selected slices. In other words, odd subslice
counts greater than four are impossible, as are odd subslice counts
greater than a single slice subslice count.
This also had no impact in the current code base due breakage from 1)
always reqesting more than one slice.
While fixing this we also add some asserts to flag up any future bitfield
overflows.

On finishing the reset, the intention is to restart the GPU before we
relinquish the forcewake taken to handle the reset - the goal being the
GPU reloads a context before it is allowed to sleep. For this purpose,
we used tasklet_flush() which although it accomplished the goal of
restarting the GPU, carried with it a sting in its tail: it cleared the
TASKLET_STATE_SCHED bit. This meant that if another CPU queued a new
request to this engine, we would clear the flag and later attempt to
requeue the tasklet on the local CPU, breaking the per-cpu softirq
lists.
Remove the dangerous tasklet_kill() and just run the tasklet func
directly as we know it is safe to do so (the tasklets are internally
locked to allow mixed usage from direct submission).

Back in commit 27af5eea54 ("drm/i915: Move execlists irq handler to a
bottom half"), we came to the conclusion that running our CSB processing
and ELSP submission from inside the irq handler was a bad idea. A really
bad idea as we could impose nearly 1s latency on other users of the
system, on average! Deferring our work to a tasklet allowed us to do the
processing with irqs enabled, reducing the impact to an average of about
50us.
We have since eradicated the use of forcewaked mmio from inside the CSB
processing and ELSP submission, bringing the impact down to around 5us
(on Kabylake); an order of magnitude better than our measurements 2
years ago on Broadwell and only about 2x worse on average than the
gem_syslatency on an unladen system.
In this iteration of the tasklet-vs-direct submission debate, we seek a
compromise where by we submit new requests immediately to the HW but
defer processing the CS interrupt onto a tasklet. We gain the advantage
of low-latency and ksoftirqd avoidance when waking up the HW, while
avoiding the system-wide starvation of our CS irq-storms.
Comparing the impact on the maximum latency observed (that is the time
stolen from an RT process) over a 120s interval, repeated several times
(using gem_syslatency, similar to RT's cyclictest) while the system is
fully laden with i915 nops, we see that direct submission an actually
improve the worse case.

v2: Remember to defer submissions when under reset.
v4: Only use direct submission for new requests
v5: Be aware that with mixing direct tasklet evaluation and deferred
tasklets, we may end up idling before running the deferred tasklet.
v6: Remove the redudant likely() from tasklet_is_enabled(), restrict the
annotation to reset_in_progress().
v7: Take the full timeline.lock when enabling perf_pmu stats as the
tasklet is no longer a valid guard. A consequence is that the stats are
now only valid for engines also using the timeline.lock to process
state.

Now that we use the CSB stored in the CPU friendly HWSP, we do not need
to track interrupts for when the mmio CSB registers are valid and can
just check where we read up to last from the cached HWSP. This means we
can forgo the atomic bit tracking from interrupt, and in the next patch
it means we can check the CSB at any time.

As we now never read back our current head position from the CSB
pointers register, and the HW itself doesn't use it to prevent
overwriting unread CSB entries, we do not need to keep updating the
register. As it turns out this register is not listed as being shadowed,
and so requires forcewake -- but we haven't been taking forcewake around
it so the writes has probably been regularly dropped. Fortuitously, we
only read the value after a reset where it did not matter, and zero was
the right answer (well, close enough).
Mika pointed out that this was how we used to do it (accidentally!)
before he fixed it in commit cc53699b25 ("drm/i915: Use masked write

On HW reset, the HW clears the write pointer (to 0). But since it also
writes its first CSB entry to slot 0, we need to reset the write pointer
back to the element before (so the first entry we read is 0).
This is required for the next patch, where we trust the CSB completely!

Following the removal of the last workarounds, the only CSB mmio access
is for the old vGPU interface. The mmio registers presented by vGPU do
not require forcewake and can be treated as ordinary volatile memory,
i.e. they behave just like the HWSP access just at a different location.
We can reduce the CSB access to a set of read/write/buffer pointers and
treat the various paths identically and not worry about forcewake.
(Forcewake is nightmare for worstcase latency, and we want to process
this all with irqsoff -- no latency allowed!)

no longer be serialised by the tasklet but needs to be locked by the

rather than try and remember important side-effects of earlier chunks of

There are chicken bits in 3D_CHICKEN3 (for SF) and FF_SLICE_CHICKEN
(for the clipper) that work around the issue. These registers are
unfortunately not part of the logical context (even the power context),
and so we must reload them every time we start executing in a context.

0, hence we reset our head tracking back to the entry before (the last

In the unlikely case where we have failed to keep submitting to the GPU,
we end up with the ELSP queue empty but a pending queue of requests.
Here, we skip the per-engine reset as there is no guilty request, but in
doing so we also skip the engine restart leaving ourselves with a
permanently hung engine. A quick way to recover is by moving the tasklet
kick to execlists_reset_finish() (from init_hw). We still emit the error
on hanging, so the error is not lost but we should be able to recover.

One thing we didn't really understand about the OA report is that the
ContextID field (dword 2) is copy of the context descriptor (dword 1).
On Gen8->10 and without using GuC we didn't notice the issue because
we only checked the 21bits of the ContextID field in the OA reports
which matches exactly the hw_id stored into the context descriptor.
When using GuC submission we have an issue of a non matching hw_id
because GuC uses bit 20 of the hw_id to signal proxy submission. This
change introduces a mask to compare only the relevant bits.
On ICL the context descriptor format has changed and we failed to
address this. On top of using a mask we also need to shift the bits
properly.
