The V3D engine has various hardware counters which might be interesting
to userspace performance analysis tools.
Expose new ioctls to create/destroy a performance monitor object and
query the counter values of this perfmance monitor.
Note that a perfomance monitor is given an ID that is only valid on the
file descriptor it has been allocated from. A performance monitor can be
attached to a CL submission and the driver will enable HW counters for
this request and update the performance monitor values at the end of the
job.

This ioctl will allow us to purge inactive userspace buffers when the
system is running out of contiguous memory.
For now, the purge logic is rather dumb in that it does not try to
release only the amount of BO needed to meet the last CMA alloc request
but instead purges all objects placed in the purgeable pool as soon as
we experience a CMA allocation failure.
Note that the in-kernel BO cache is always purged before the purgeable
cache because those objects are known to be unused while objects marked
as purgeable by a userspace application/library might have to be
restored when they are marked back as unpurgeable, which can be
expensive.

window movement without first blitting to a temporary. x11perf

This has proven immensely useful for debugging memory leaks and
overallocation (which is a rather serious concern on the platform,
given that we typically run at about 256MB of CMA out of up to 1GB
total memory, with framebuffers that are about 8MB ecah).
The state of the art without this is to dump debug logs from every GL
application, guess as to kernel allocations based on bo_stats, and try
to merge that all together into a global picture of memory allocation
state. With this, you can add a couple of calls to the debug build of
the 3D driver and get a pretty detailed view of GPU memory usage from
/debug/dri/0/bo_stats (or when we debug print to dmesg on allocation
failure).
The Mesa side currently labels at the gallium resource level (so you
see that a 1920x20 pixmap has been created, presumably for the window
system panel), but we could extend that to be even more useful with
glObjectLabel() names being sent all the way down to the kernel.
(partial) example of sorted debugfs output with Mesa labeling all
resources:
kernel BO cache: 16392kb BOs (3)
tiling shadow 1920x1080: 8160kb BOs (1)
resource 1920x1080@32/0: 8160kb BOs (1)
scanout resource 1920x1080@32/0: 8100kb BOs (1)
kernel: 8100kb BOs (1)
v2: Use strndup_user(), use lockdep assertion instead of just a
comment, fix an array[-1] reference, extend comment about name
freeing.

This allows mesa to set the tiling format for a BO and have that
tiling format be respected by mesa on the other side of an
import/export (and by vc4 scanout in the kernel), without defining a
protocol to pass the tiling through userspace.

FS threading brings performance improvements of 0-20% in glmark2.
The validation code checks for thread switch signals and ensures that
the registers of the other thread are not touched, and that our clamps
are not live across thread switches. It also checks that the
threading and branching instructions do not interfere.

removing validation the kernel doesn't need to do, and adding the flag
for userspace).

The validation for it ends up being quite simple, but I hadn't got
around to it before merging the driver. For backwards compatibility,
we also need to add a flag so that the userspace GL driver can easily
tell if the kernel will allow ETC1 textures (on an old kernel, it will
continue to convert to RGBA8)

Userspace needs to know if it can create shaders that do branching.
Otherwise, for backwards compatibility with old kernels it needs to
lower if statements to conditional assignments.

As I extend the driver to support different V3D revisions, userspace
needs to know what version it's targeting. This is most easily
detected using the V3D identity registers.

The user submission is basically a pointer to a command list and a
pointer to uniforms. We copy those in to the kernel, validate and
relocate them, and store the result in a GPU BO which we queue for
execution.

vc4_use_bo(), improve bin flush/semaphore checks, use __u32 style

Since we have no MMU, the kernel needs to validate that the submitted
shader code won't make any accesses to memory that the user doesn't
control, which involves banning some operations (general purpose DMA
writes), and tracking where we need to write out pointers for other
operations (texture sampling). Once it's validated, we return a GEM
BO containing the shader, which doesn't allow mapping for write or
exporting to other subsystems.
v2: Use __u32-style types.

While there exist dumb APIs for creating and mapping BOs, one of the
rules is that drivers doing 3D acceleration have to provide their own
APIs for buffer allocation (besides, the pitch/height parameters of
the dumb alloc don't really make sense for a lot of 3D allocations).
v2: Use __u32-style types, use "drm.h" instead of <drm/drm.h>.
