drm/i915: Do not share hwsp across contexts any more, v8.

Instead of sharing pages with breadcrumbs, give each timeline a
single page. This allows unrelated timelines not to share locks
any more during command submission.

As an additional benefit, seqno wraparound no longer requires
i915_vma_pin, which means we no longer need to worry about a
potential -EDEADLK at a point where we are ready to submit.

Changes since v1:
- Fix erroneous i915_vma_acquire that should be a i915_vma_release (ickle).
- Extra check for completion in intel_read_hwsp().
Changes since v2:
- Fix inconsistent indent in hwsp_alloc() (kbuild)
- memset entire cacheline to 0.
Changes since v3:
- Do same in intel_timeline_reset_seqno(), and clflush for good measure.
Changes since v4:
- Use refcounting on timeline, instead of relying on i915_active.
- Fix waiting on kernel requests.
Changes since v5:
- Bump amount of slots to maximum (256), for best wraparounds.
- Add hwsp_offset to i915_request to fix potential wraparound hang.
- Ensure timeline wrap test works with the changes.
- Assign hwsp in intel_timeline_read_hwsp() within the rcu lock to
fix a hang.
Changes since v6:
- Rename i915_request_active_offset to i915_request_active_seqno(),
and elaborate the function. (tvrtko)
Changes since v7:
- Move hunk to where it belongs. (jekstrand)
- Replace CACHELINE_BYTES with TIMELINE_SEQNO_BYTES. (jekstrand)

drm/i915/gt: Track all timelines created using the HWSP

We assume that the contents of the HWSP are lost across suspend, and so
upon resume we must restore critical values such as the timeline seqno.
Keep track of every timeline allocated that uses the HWSP as its storage
and so we can then reset all seqno values by walking that list.

drm/i915/gt: Use the local HWSP offset during submission

We wrap the timeline on construction of the next request, but there may
still be requests in flight that have not yet finalized the breadcrumb.
(The breadcrumb is delayed as we need engine-local offsets, and for the
virtual engine that is not known until execution.) As such, by the time
we write to the timeline's HWSP offset it may have changed, and we
should use the value we preserved in the request instead.

Though the window is small and infrequent (at full flow we can expect a
timeline's seqno to wrap once every 30 minutes), the impact of writing
the old seqno into the new HWSP is severe: the old requests are never
completed, and the new requests are completed before they are even
submitted.

drm/i915/gt: Pull GT initialisation under intel_gt_init()

Begin pulling the GT setup underneath a single GT umbrella; let intel_gt
take ownership of its engines! As hinted, the complication is the
lifetime of the probed engine versus the active lifetime of the GT
backends. We need to detect the engine layout early and keep it until
the end so that we can sanitize state on takeover and release.

drm/i915/gt: Schedule request retirement when timeline idles

The major drawback of commit 7e34f4e4aad3 ("drm/i915/gen8+: Add RC6 CTX
corruption WA") is that it disables RC6 while Skylake (and friends) is
active, and we do not consider the GPU idle until all outstanding
requests have been retired and the engine switched over to the kernel
context. If userspace is idle, this task falls onto our background idle
worker, which only runs roughly once a second, meaning that userspace has
to have been idle for a couple of seconds before we enable RC6 again.
Naturally, this causes us to consume considerably more energy than
before as powersaving is effectively disabled while a display server
(here's looking at you Xorg) is running.

As execlists will get a completion event as each context is completed,
we can use this interrupt to queue a retire worker bound to this engine
to cleanup idle timelines. We will then immediately notice the idle
engine (without userspace intervention or the aid of the background
retire worker) and start parking the GPU. Thus during light workloads,
we will do much more work to idle the GPU faster... Hopefully with
commensurate power saving!

v2: Watch context completions and only look at those local to the engine
when retiring to reduce the amount of excess work we perform.

drm/i915/gt: Close race between engine_park and intel_gt_retire_requests

The general concept was that intel_timeline.active_count was locked by
the intel_timeline.mutex. The exception was for power management, where
the engine->kernel_context->timeline could be manipulated under the
global wakeref.mutex.

This was quite solid, as we always manipulated the timeline only while
we held an engine wakeref.

And then we started retiring requests outside of struct_mutex, only
using the timelines.active_list and the timeline->mutex. There we
started manipulating intel_timeline.active_count outside of an engine
wakeref, and so introduced a race between __engine_park() and
intel_gt_retire_requests(), a race that could result in the
engine->kernel_context not being added to the active timelines and so
losing requests, which caused us to keep the system permanently powered
up [and unloadable].

The race would be easy to close if we could take the engine wakeref for
the timeline before we retire -- except timelines are not bound to any
engine and so we would need to keep all active engines awake. The
alternative is to guard intel_timeline_enter/intel_timeline_exit for use
outside of the timeline->mutex.

drm/i915: Coordinate i915_active with its own mutex

Forgo the struct_mutex serialisation for i915_active, and interpose its
own mutex handling for active/retire.

This is a multi-layered sleight-of-hand. First, we had to ensure that no
active/retire callbacks accidentally inverted the mutex ordering rules,
nor assumed that they were themselves serialised by struct_mutex. More
challenging though, is the rule over updating elements of the active
rbtree. Instead of the whole i915_active now being serialised by
struct_mutex, allocations/rotations of the tree are serialised by the
i915_active.mutex and individual nodes are serialised by the caller
using the i915_timeline.mutex (we need to use nested spinlocks to
interact with the dma_fence callback lists).

The pain point here is that instead of a single mutex around execbuf, we
now have to take a mutex for active tracker (one for each vma, context,
etc) and a couple of spinlocks for each fence update. The improvement in
fine grained locking allowing for multiple concurrent clients
(eventually!) should be worth it in typical loads.

v2: Add some comments that barely elucidate anything :(

drm/i915: Mark i915_request.timeline as a volatile, rcu pointer

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.

v2: Don't be lazy inside selftests; hold the timeline->mutex for as long
as we need it, and tidy up acquiring the timeline with a bit of
refactoring (i915_active_add_request)

drm/i915/gt: Guard timeline pinning without relying on struct_mutex

In preparation for removing struct_mutex from around context retirement,
we need to make timeline pinning and unpinning safe. Since multiple
engines/contexts can share a single timeline, we cannot rely on
borrowing the context mutex (otherwise we could state that the timeline
is only pinned/unpinned inside the context pin/unpin and so guarded by
it). However, we only perform a sequence of atomic operations inside the
timeline pin/unpin and the sequence of those operations is safe for a
concurrent unpin / pin, so we can relax the struct_mutex requirement.
