82adf90113 drm/i915/gt: Shrink i915_page_directory's slab bucket
kmalloc uses power-of-two slab buckets for small allocations (up to a
few pages). Since i915_page_directory is a page of pointers, plus a
couple more, this is rounded up to 8K, and we waste nearly 50% of that
allocation. Long terms this leads to poor memory utilisation, bloating
the kernel footprint, but the problem is exacerbated by our conservative
preallocation scheme for binding VMA. As we are required to allocate all
levels for each vma just in case we need to insert them upon binding,
this leads to a large multiplication factor for a single page vma. By
halving the allocation we need for the page directory structure, we
halve the impact of that factor, bringing workloads that once fitted into
memory, hopefully back to fitting into memory.

We maintain the split between i915_page_directory and i915_page_table as
we only need half the allocation for the lowest, most populous, level.

89351925a4 drm/i915/gt: Switch to object allocations for page directories
The GEM object is grossly overweight for the practicality of tracking
large numbers of individual pages, yet it is currently our only
abstraction for tracking DMA allocations. Since those allocations need
to be reserved upfront before an operation, and that we need to break
away from simple system memory, we need to ditch using plain struct page
wrappers.

In the process, we drop the WC mapping as we ended up clflushing
everything anyway due to various issues across a wider range of
platforms. Though in a future step, we need to drop the kmap_atomic
approach which suggests we need to pre-map all the pages and keep them
mapped.

v2: Verify our large scratch page is suitably DMA aligned; and manually
clear the scratch since we are allocating plain struct pages full of
prior content.

cd0452aa2a drm/i915: Preallocate stashes for vma page-directories
We need to make the DMA allocations used for page directories to be
performed up front so that we can include those allocations in our
memory reservation pass. The downside is that we have to assume the
worst case, even before we know the final layout, and always allocate
enough page directories for this object, even when there will be overlap.
This unfortunately can be quite expensive, especially as we have to
clear/reset the page directories and DMA pages, but it should only be
required during early phases of a workload when new objects are being
discovered, or after memory/eviction pressure when we need to rebind.
Once we reach steady state, the objects should not be moved and we no
longer need to preallocating the pages tables.

It should be noted that the lifetime for the page directories DMA is
more or less decoupled from individual fences as they will be shared
across objects across timelines.

v2: Only allocate enough PD space for the PTE we may use, we do not need
to allocate PD that will be left as scratch.
v3: Store the shift unto the first PD level to encapsulate the different
PTE counts for gen6/gen8.

12b07256c2 drm/i915: Export ppgtt_bind_vma
Reuse the ppgtt_bind_vma() for aliasing_ppgtt_bind_vma() so we can
reduce some code near-duplication. The catch is that we need to then
pass along the i915_address_space and not rely on vma->vm, as they
differ with the aliasing-ppgtt.
