Use the per-object local lock to control the cache domain of the
individual GEM objects, not struct_mutex. This is a huge leap forward
for us in terms of object-level synchronisation; execbuffers are
coordinated using the ww_mutex and pread/pwrite is finally fully
serialised again.

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
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one

such, we used a small bitfield only large enough to allow the vma to

Removing the pin bias from GuC allows us to not check for GuC every time
we pin a context, which fixes the assertion error on unresolved GuC
platform default in mock contexts selftest.
It also seems that we were using uninitialized WOPCM variables when
setting the GuC pin bias. The pin bias has to be set after the WOPCM,
but before the call to i915_gem_contexts_init where the first contexts
are pinned.
v2:
This also makes it so that there's no need to set GuC variables from
within the WOPCM init function or to move the WOPCM init, while keeping
the correct initialization order. Also for mock tests the pin bias is
left at 0 and we make sure that the pin bias with GuC will not be
smaller than without GuC.

v4:

v5:
Since we now don't use wopcm.guc.base for the pin bias there's no need to
validate it. It also has already been verified in WOPCM init.

Deleted the now unnecessarily introduced includes from previous versions.

When userspace is passing around swapbuffers using DRI, we frequently
have to open and close the same object in the foreign address space.
This shows itself as the same object being rebound at roughly 30fps
(with a second object also being rebound at 30fps), which involves us
having to rewrite the page tables and maintain the drm_mm range manager
every time.
However, since the object still exists and it is only the local handle
that disappears, if we are lazy and do not unbind the VMA immediately
when the local user closes the object but defer it until the GPU is
idle, then we can reuse the same VMA binding. We still have to be
careful to mark the handle and lookup tables as closed to maintain the
uABI, just allowing the underlying VMA to be resurrected if the user is
able to access the same object from the same context again.
If the object itself is destroyed (neither userspace keeping a handle to
it), the VMA will be reaped immediately as usual.
In the future, this will be even more useful as instantiating a new VMA
for use on the GPU will become heavier. A nuisance indeed, so nip it in
the bud.

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 major scaling bottleneck in execbuffer is the processing of the
execobjects. Creating an auxiliary list is inefficient when compared to
using the execobject array we already have allocated.
Reservation is then split into phases. As we lookup up the VMA, we
try and bind it back into active location. Only if that fails, do we add
it to the unbound list for phase 2. In phase 2, we try and add all those
objects that could not fit into their previous location, with fallback
to retrying all objects and evicting the VM in case of severe
fragmentation. (This is the same as before, except that phase 1 is now
done inline with looking up the VMA to avoid an iteration over the
execobject array. In the ideal case, we eliminate the separate reservation
phase). During the reservation phase, we only evict from the VM between
passes (rather than currently as we try to fit every new VMA). In
testing with Unreal Engine's Atlantis demo which stresses the eviction
logic on gen7 class hardware, this speed up the framerate by a factor of
2.
The second loop amalgamation is between move_to_gpu and move_to_active.
As we always submit the request, even if incomplete, we can use the
current request to track active VMA as we perform the flushes and
synchronisation required.
The next big advancement is to avoid copying back to the user any
execobjects and relocations that are not changed.
v2: Add a Theory of Operation spiel.
v3: Fall back to slow relocations in preparation for flushing userptrs.
v4: Document struct members, factor out eb_validate_vma(), add a few
more comments to explain some magic and hide other magic behind macros.

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

With the introduce of i915_vma_instance() for obtaining the VMA
singleton for a (obj, vm, view) tuple, we can remove the
i915_vma_create() in favour of a single entry point. We do incur a
lookup onto an empty tree, but the i915_vma_create() were being called
infrequently and during initialisation, so the small overhead is
negligible.

Whilst writing testcases to exercise the VMA API, some oddities came to
light, such as i915_gem_obj_lookup_or_create(). Joonas suggested
i915_vma_instance() as a neat replacement, so rename them, move them to
i915_vma.c and add some kerneldoc as a sugary bonus.

Reading the ggtt_views is much more pleasant without the extra
characters from specifying the union (i.e. ggtt_view.partial rather than
ggtt_view.params.partial). To make this work inside i915_vma_compare()
with only a single memcmp requires us to ensure that there are no
uninitialised bytes within each branch of the union (we make sure the
structs are packed) and we need to store the size of each branch.
v4: Rewrite changelog and add comments explaining the assert.

In preparation for the next patch to convert to using an anonymous union
and leaving the excess bytes in the union uninitialised, we first need
to make sure we do not compare using those uninitialised bytes. We also
want to preserve the compactness of the code, avoiding a second call to
memcmp or introducing a switch, so we take advantage of using the type
as an encoded size (as well as a unique identifier for each type of view).
v2: Add the rationale for why we encode size into ggtt_view.type as a
comment before the memcmp()
v3: Use a switch to also assert that no two i915_ggtt_view_type have the same
value.

The fence size/alignment is a combination of the vma size plus object
tiling parameters. Those parameters are rarely changed, making the fence
size/alignemnt roughly constant for the lifetime of the VMA. We can
simplify subsequent calculations by precalculating the size/alignment
required for GGTT vma taking fencing into account (with an update if we
do change the tiling or stride).

99% of the time we access i915_address_space->dev we want the i915
device and not the drm device, so let's store the drm_i915_private
backpointer instead. The only real complication here are the inlines
in i915_vma.h where drm_i915_private is not yet defined and so we have
to choose an alternate path for our asserts.

I tried to avoid having to track the write for every VMA by only
tracking writes to the ggtt. However, for the purposes of frontbuffer
tracking this is insufficient as we need to invalidate around writes not
just to the the ggtt but all aliased ppgtt views of the framebuffer. By
moving the critical section to the object and only doing so for
framebuffer writes we can reduce the tracking even further by only
watching framebuffers and not vma.
