drm/i915: Remove I915_USER_PRIORITY_SHIFT

As we do not have any internal priority levels, the priority can be set
directed from the user values.

drm/i915: Strip out internal priorities

Since we are not using any internal priority levels, and in the next few
patches will introduce a new index for which the optimisation is not so
lear cut, discard the small table within the priolist.

drm/i915/gt: Prevent timeslicing into unpreemptable requests

We have a I915_REQUEST_NOPREEMPT flag that we set when we must prevent
the HW from preempting during the course of this request. We need to
honour this flag and protect the HW even if we have a heartbeat request,
or other maximum priority barrier, pending. As such, restrict the
timeslicing check to avoid preempting into the topmost priority band,
leaving the unpreemptable requests in blissful peace running
uninterrupted on the HW.

v2: Set the I915_PRIORITY_BARRIER to be less than
I915_PRIORITY_UNPREEMPTABLE so that we never submit a request
(heartbeat or barrier) that can legitimately preempt the current
non-premptable request.

drm/i915: Drop no-semaphore boosting

Now that we have fast timeslicing on semaphores, we no longer need to
prioritise none-semaphore work as we will yield any work blocked on a
semaphore to the next in the queue. Previously with no timeslicing,
blocking on the semaphore caused extremely bad scheduling with multiple
clients utilising multiple rings. Now, there is no impact and we can
remove the complication.

drm/i915: Remove wait priority boosting

Upon waiting a request (when asked), we gave that request a small
priority boost, not enough for it to cause preemption, but enough for it
to be scheduled next before all equals. We also used that bit to give
new clients a small priority boost, similar to FQ_CODEL, such that we
favoured short interactive tasks ahead of long running streams.

However, this is causing lots of complications with timeslicing where we
both want to honour the boost and yet ignore it. Those complications
cause unexpected user behaviour (tasks not being timesliced and run
concurrently as epxected), and the easiest way to resolve that is to
remove the boost. Hopefully, we can find a compromise again if we need
to, but in theory timeslicing itself and future more advanced schedulers
should give us the interactivity boost we seek.

drm/i915/gt: Replace hangcheck by heartbeats

Replace sampling the engine state every so often with a periodic
heartbeat request to measure the health of an engine. This is coupled
with the forced-preemption to allow long running requests to survive so
long as they do not block other users.

drm/i915/gt: Introduce barrier pulses along engines

To flush idle barriers, and even inflight requests, we want to send a
preemptive 'pulse' along an engine. We use a no-op request along the
pinned kernel_context at high priority so that it should run or else
kick off the stuck requests. We can use this to ensure idle barriers are
immediately flushed, as part of a context cancellation mechanism, or as
part of a heartbeat mechanism to detect and reset a stuck GPU.

drm/i915: Push the wakeref->count deferral to the backend

If the backend wishes to defer the wakeref parking, make it responsible
for unlocking the wakeref (i.e. bumping the counter). This allows it to
time the unlock much more carefully in case it happens to needs the
wakeref to be active during its deferral.

For instance, during engine parking we may choose to emit an idle
barrier (a request). To do so, we borrow the engine->kernel_context
timeline and to ensure exclusive access we keep the
engine->wakeref.count as 0. However, to submit that request to HW may
require a intel_engine_pm_get() (e.g. to keep the submission tasklet
alive) and before we allow that we have to rewake our wakeref to avoid a
recursive deadlock.

drm/i915: Downgrade NEWCLIENT to non-preemptive

Commit 1413b2bc0717 ("drm/i915: Trim NEWCLIENT boosting") had the
intended consequence of not allowing a sequence of work that merely
crossed into a new engine the privilege to be promoted to NEWCLIENT
status. It also had the unintended consequence of actually making
NEWCLIENT effective on heavily oversubscribed transcode machines and
impacting upon their throughput.

If we consider a client packet composed of (rcsA, rcsB, vcs) and 30 of
those clients, using the NEWCLIENT boost that will be scheduled as

rcsA x 30, (rcsB, vcs) x 30

where as before it would have been

(rcsA, rcsB, vcs) x 30

That is with NEWCLIENT only boosting the first request of each client,
we would execute all rcsA requests prior to running on the vcs engines;
acruing a lot of dead time as compared to the previous case where the
vcs engine would be started in parallel to processing the second client.

The previous patch has the effect of delaying submission until it is
required by a third party (either the user with an explicit wait, or by
another client/engine). We reduce the NEWCLIENT bump to a mere WAIT,
which has the effect of removing its preemptive grant and reducing it to
the same level as any other user interaction -- that it will not be
promoted above the interengine dependencies, and so preventing NEWCLIENTS
from starving other engines. This a large nerf to the rrul properties of
the current NEWCLIENT, but it still does give prioritised submission to
new requests from light workloads.
