On the virtual engines, we only use the intel_breadcrumbs for tracking
signaling of stale breadcrumbs from the irq_workers. They do not have
any associated interrupt handling, active requests are passed to a
physical engine and associated breadcrumb interrupt handler. This causes
issues for us as we need to ensure that we do not actually try and
enable interrupts and the powermanagement required for them on the
virtual engine, as they will never be disabled. Instead, let's
specify the physical engine used for interrupt handler on a particular
breadcrumb.

Since the introduction of 'soft-rc6', we aim to park the device quickly
and that results in frequent idling of the whole device. Currently upon
idling we free the batch buffer pool, and so this renders the cache
ineffective for many workloads. If we want to have an effective cache of
recently allocated buffers available for reuse, we need to decouple that
cache from the engine powermanagement and make it timer based. As there
is no reason then to keep it within the engine (where it once made
retirement order easier to track), we can move it up the hierarchy to the
owner of the memory allocations.
v2: Hook up to debugfs/drop_caches to clear the cache on demand.

We need to keep the default context state around to instantiate new
contexts (aka golden rendercontext), and we also keep it pinned while
the engine is active so that we can quickly reset a hanging context.
However, the default contexts are large enough to merit keeping in
swappable memory as opposed to kernel memory, so we store them inside
shmemfs. Currently, we use the normal GEM objects to create the default
context image, but we can throw away all but the shmemfs file.
This greatly simplifies the tricky power management code which wants to
run underneath the normal GT locking, and we definitely do not want to
use any high level objects that may appear to recurse back into the GT.
Though perhaps the primary advantage of the complex GEM object is that
we aggressively cache the mapping, but here we are recreating the
vm_area everytime time we unpark. At the worst, we add a lightweight
cache, but first find a microbenchmark that is impacted.
Having started to create some utility functions to make working with
shmemfs objects easier, we can start putting them to wider use, where
GEM objects are overkill, such as storing persistent error state.

Allocate only an internal intel_context for the kernel_context, forgoing
a global GEM context for internal use as we only require a separate
address space (for our own protection).
Now having weaned GT from requiring ce->gem_context, we can stop
referencing it entirely. This also means we no longer have to create random
and unnecessary GEM contexts for internal use.
GEM contexts are now entirely for tracking GEM clients, and intel_context

The expected downside to commit 58b4c1a07a ("drm/i915: Reduce nested
prepare_remote_context() to a trylock") was that it would need to return
-EAGAIN to userspace in order to resolve potential mutex inversion. Such
an unsightly round trip is unnecessary if we could atomically insert a
barrier into the i915_active_fence, so make it happen.
Currently, we use the timeline->mutex (or some other named outer lock)
to order insertion into the i915_active_fence (and so individual nodes
of i915_active). Inside __i915_active_fence_set, we only need then
serialise with the interrupt handler in order to claim the timeline for
ourselves.
However, if we remove the outer lock, we need to ensure the order is
intact between not only multiple threads trying to insert themselves
into the timeline, but also with the interrupt handler completing the
previous occupant. We use xchg() on insert so that we have an ordered
sequence of insertions (and each caller knows the previous fence on
which to wait, preserving the chain of all fences in the timeline), but
we then have to cmpxchg() in the interrupt handler to avoid overwriting
the new occupant. The only nasty side-effect is having to temporarily
strip off the RCU-annotations to apply the atomic operations, otherwise
the rules are much more conventional!

The request->timeline is only valid until the request is retired (i.e.
before it is completed). Upon retiring the request, the context may be
unpinned and freed, and along with it the timeline may be freed. We
therefore need to be very careful when chasing rq->timeline that the
pointer does not disappear beneath us. The vast majority of users are in
a protected context, either during request construction or retirement,
where the timeline->mutex is held and the timeline cannot disappear. It
is those few off the beaten path (where we access a second timeline) that
need extra scrutiny -- to be added in the next patch after first adding
the warnings about dangerous access.
One complication, where we cannot use the timeline->mutex itself, is
during request submission onto hardware (under spinlocks). Here, we want
to check on the timeline to finalize the breadcrumb, and so we need to
impose a second rule to ensure that the request->timeline is indeed
valid. As we are submitting the request, it's context and timeline must
be pinned, as it will be used by the hardware. Since it is pinned, we
know the request->timeline must still be valid, and we cannot submit the
idle barrier until after we release the engine->active.lock, ergo while
submitting and holding that spinlock, a second thread cannot release the
timeline.

We use timeline->mutex to protect modifications to

Due to complications with engine-pm barrier there is a path where we used
a "superlock" to provide serialised protect and so could not
unconditionally assert with lockdep that it was always held. However,
we can mark the mutex as taken (noting that we may be nested underneath
ourselves) which means we can be reassured the right timeline->mutex is
always treated as held and let lockdep roam free.

By placing our idle-barriers in the i915_active fence tree, we expose

kernel_context. Reusing the proto-barrier active_node is perfectly fine
as the new request implies a context-switch, and so an opportune point

The idea behind keeping the saturation mask local to a context backfired
spectacularly. The premise with the local mask was that we would be more
proactive in attempting to use semaphores after each time the context
idled, and that all new contexts would attempt to use semaphores
ignoring the current state of the system. This turns out to be horribly
optimistic. If the system state is still oversaturated and the existing
workloads have all stopped using semaphores, the new workloads would
attempt to use semaphores and be deprioritised behind real work. The
new contexts would not switch off using semaphores until their initial
batch of low priority work had completed. Given sufficient backload load
of equal user priority, this would completely starve the new work of any
GPU time.
To compensate, remove the local tracking in favour of keeping it as
global state on the engine -- once the system is saturated and
semaphores are disabled, everyone stops attempting to use semaphores
until the system is idle again. One of the reason for preferring local
context tracking was that it worked with virtual engines, so for
switching to global state we could either do a complete check of all the
virtual siblings or simply disable semaphores for those requests. This
takes the simpler approach of disabling semaphores on virtual engines.
The downside is that the decision that the engine is saturated is a
local measure -- we are only checking whether or not this context was
scheduled in a timely fashion, it may be legitimately delayed due to user
priorities. We still have the same dilemma though, that we do not want
to employ the semaphore poll unless it will be used.

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.
