Now that we've finally gotten rid of the non-atomic MST users leftover in
the kernel, we can finally get rid of all of the legacy payload code we
have and move as much as possible into the MST atomic state structs. The
main purpose of this is to make the MST code a lot less confusing to work
on, as there's a lot of duplicated logic that doesn't really need to be
here. As well, this should make introducing features like fallback link
retraining and DSC support far easier.
Since the old payload code was pretty gnarly and there's a Lot of changes
here, I expect this might be a bit difficult to review. So to make things
as easy as possible for reviewers, I'll sum up how both the old and new
code worked here (it took me a while to figure this out too!).
The old MST code basically worked by maintaining two different payload
tables - proposed_vcpis, and payloads. proposed_vcpis would hold the
modified payload we wanted to push to the topology, while payloads held the
payload table that was currently programmed in hardware. Modifications to
proposed_vcpis would be handled through drm_dp_allocate_vcpi(),
drm_dp_mst_deallocate_vcpi(), and drm_dp_mst_reset_vcpi_slots(). Then, they
would be pushed via drm_dp_mst_update_payload_step1() and
drm_dp_mst_update_payload_step2().
Furthermore, it's important to note how adding and removing VC payloads
actually worked with drm_dp_mst_update_payload_step1(). When a VC payload
is removed from the VC table, all VC payloads which come after the removed
VC payload's slots must have their time slots shifted towards the start of
the table. The old code handles this by looping through the entire payload
table and recomputing the start slot for every payload in the topology from
scratch. While very much overkill, this ends up doing the right thing
because we always order the VCPIs for payloads from first to last starting
timeslot.
It's important to also note that drm_dp_mst_update_payload_step2() isn't
actually limited to updating a single payload - the driver can use it to
queue up multiple payload changes so that as many of them can be sent as
possible before waiting for the ACT. This is -technically- not against
spec, but as Wayne Lin has pointed out it's not consistently implemented
correctly in hubs - so it might as well be.
drm_dp_mst_update_payload_step2() is pretty self explanatory and basically
the same between the old and new code, save for the fact we don't have a
second step for deleting payloads anymore -and thus rename it to
drm_dp_mst_add_payload_step2().
The new payload code stores all of the current payload info within the MST
atomic state and computes as much of the state as possible ahead of time.
This has the one exception of the starting timeslots for payloads, which
can't be determined at atomic check time since the starting time slots will
vary depending on what order CRTCs are enabled in the atomic state - which
varies from driver to driver. These are still stored in the atomic MST
state, but are only copied from the old MST state during atomic commit
time. Likewise, this is when new start slots are determined.
Adding/removing payloads now works much more closely to how things are
described in the spec. When we delete a payload, we loop through the
current list of payloads and update the start slots for any payloads whose
time slots came after the payload we just deleted. Determining the starting
time slots for new payloads being added is done by simply keeping track of
where the end of the VC table is in
drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr->next_start_slot. Additionally, it's worth noting
that we no longer have a single update_payload() function. Instead, we now
have drm_dp_mst_add_payload_step1|2() and drm_dp_mst_remove_payload(). As
such, it's now left it up to the driver to figure out when to add or remove
payloads. The driver already knows when it's disabling/enabling CRTCs, so
it also already knows when payloads should be added or removed.
Changes since v1:
* Refactor around all of the completely dead code changes that are
happening in amdgpu for some reason when they really shouldn't even be
there in the first place… :\
* Remove mention of sending one ACT per series of payload updates. As Wayne
Lin pointed out, there are apparently hubs on the market that don't work
correctly with this scheme and require a separate ACT per payload update.
* Fix accidental drop of mst_mgr.lock - Wayne Lin
* Remove mentions of allowing multiple ACT updates per payload change,
mention that this is a result of vendors not consistently supporting this
part of the spec and requiring a unique ACT for each payload change.
* Get rid of reference to drm_dp_mst_port in DC - turns out I just got
myself confused by DC and we don't actually need this.
Changes since v2:
* Get rid of fix for not sending payload deallocations if ddps=0 and just
go back to wayne's fix

Currently, we set drm_dp_atomic_payload->time_slots to 0 in order to
indicate that we're about to delete a payload in the current atomic state.
Since we're going to be dropping all of the legacy code for handling the
payload table however, we need to be able to ensure that we still keep
track of the current time slot allocations for each payload so we can reuse
this info when asking the root MST hub to delete payloads. We'll also be
using it to recalculate the start slots of each VC.
So, let's keep track of the intent of a payload in drm_dp_atomic_payload by
adding ->delete, which we set whenever we're planning on deleting a payload
during the current atomic commit.

There's another kind of situation where we could potentially race with
nonblocking modesets and MST, especially if we were to only use the locking
provided by atomic modesetting:
* Display 1 begins as enabled on DP-1 in SST mode
* Display 1 switches to MST mode, exposes one sink in MST mode
* Userspace does non-blocking modeset to disable the SST display
* Userspace does non-blocking modeset to enable the MST display with a
different CRTC, but the SST display hasn't been fully taken down yet
* Execution order between the last two commits isn't guaranteed since they
share no drm resources
We can fix this however, by ensuring that we always pull in the atomic
topology state whenever a connector capable of driving an MST display
performs its atomic check - and then tracking CRTC commits happening on the
SST connector in the MST topology state. So, let's add some simple helpers
for doing that and hook them up in various drivers.

As Daniel Vetter pointed out, if we only use the atomic modesetting locks
with MST it's technically possible for a driver with non-blocking modesets
to race when it comes to MST displays - as we make the mistake of not doing
our own CRTC commit tracking in the topology_state object.
This could potentially cause problems if something like this happens:
* User starts non-blocking commit to disable CRTC-1 on MST topology 1
* User starts non-blocking commit to enable CRTC-2 on MST topology 1
There's no guarantee here that the commit for disabling CRTC-2 will only
occur after CRTC-1 has finished, since neither commit shares a CRTC - only
the private modesetting object for MST. Keep in mind this likely isn't a
problem for blocking modesets, only non-blocking.
So, begin fixing this by keeping track of which CRTCs on a topology have
changed by keeping track of which CRTCs we release or allocate timeslots
on. As well, add some helpers for:
* Setting up the drm_crtc_commit structs in the ->commit_setup hook
* Waiting for any CRTC dependencies from the previous topology state
v2:
* Use drm_dp_mst_atomic_setup_commit() directly - Jani

VCPI is only sort of the correct term here, originally the majority of this
code simply referred to timeslots vaguely as "slots" - and since I started
working on it and adding atomic functionality, the name "VCPI slots" has
been used to represent time slots.
Now that we actually have consistent access to the DisplayPort spec thanks
to VESA, I now know this isn't actually the proper term - as the
specification refers to these as time slots.
Since we're trying to make this code as easy to figure out as possible,
let's take this opportunity to correct this nomenclature and call them by
their proper name - timeslots. Likewise, we rename various functions
appropriately, along with replacing references in the kernel documentation
and various debugging messages.
It's important to note that this patch series leaves the legacy MST code
untouched for the most part, which is fine since we'll be removing it soon
anyhow. There should be no functional changes in this series.
v2:
* Add note that Wayne Lin from AMD suggested regarding slots being between
the source DP Tx and the immediate downstream DP Rx

In retrospect, the name I chose for this originally is confusing, as
there's a lot more info in here then just the VCPI. This really should be
called a payload. Let's make it more obvious that this is meant to be
related to the atomic state and is about payloads by renaming it to
drm_dp_mst_atomic_payload. Also, rename various variables throughout the
code that use atomic payloads.

add a variable to struct drm_dp_mst_port that keeps track of the

Various drivers, such as i915 and amdgpu, use similar naming scheme
