drm/i915: Drop stealing of bits from i915_sw_fence function pointer

Rather than stealing bits from i915_sw_fence function pointer use
separate fields for function pointer and flags. If using two different
fields, the 4 byte alignment for the i915_sw_fence function pointer can
also be dropped.

v2:
(CI)
- Set new function field rather than flags in __i915_sw_fence_init
v3:
(Tvrtko)
- Remove BUG_ON(!fence->flags) in reinit as that will now blow up
- Only define fence->flags if CONFIG_DRM_I915_SW_FENCE_CHECK_DAG is
defined
v4:
- Rebase, resend for CI

drm/i915/gem: Don't leak non-persistent requests on changing engines

If we have a set of active engines marked as being non-persistent, we
lose track of those if the user replaces those engines with
I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES. As part of our uABI contract is that
non-persistent requests are terminated if they are no longer being
tracked by the user's context (in order to prevent a lost request
causing an untracked and so unstoppable GPU hang), we need to apply the
same context cancellation upon changing engines.

v2: Track stale engines[] so we only reap at context closure.
v3: Tvrtko spotted races with closing contexts and set-engines, so add a
veneer of kill-everything paranoia to clean up after losing a race.

drm/i915: Use a ctor for TYPESAFE_BY_RCU i915_request

As we start peeking into requests for longer and longer, e.g.
incorporating use of spinlocks when only protected by an
rcu_read_lock(), we need to be careful in how we reset the request when
recycling and need to preserve any barriers that may still be in use as
the request is reset for reuse.

Quoting Linus Torvalds:

> If there is refcounting going on then why use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU?

.. because the object can be accessed (by RCU) after the refcount has
gone down to zero, and the thing has been released.

That's the whole and only point of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.

That flag basically says:

"I may end up accessing this object *after* it has been free'd,
because there may be RCU lookups in flight"

This has nothing to do with constructors. It's ok if the object gets
reused as an object of the same type and does *not* get
re-initialized, because we're perfectly fine seeing old stale data.

What it guarantees is that the slab isn't shared with any other kind
of object, _and_ that the underlying pages are free'd after an RCU
quiescent period (so the pages aren't shared with another kind of
object either during an RCU walk).

And it doesn't necessarily have to have a constructor, because the
thing that a RCU walk will care about is

(a) guaranteed to be an object that *has* been on some RCU list (so
it's not a "new" object)

(b) the RCU walk needs to have logic to verify that it's still the
*same* object and hasn't been re-used as something else.

In contrast, a SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU memory gets free'd and re-used
immediately, but because it gets reused as the same kind of object,
the RCU walker can "know" what parts have meaning for re-use, in a way
it couidn't if the re-use was random.

That said, it *is* subtle, and people should be careful.

> So the re-use might initialize the fields lazily, not necessarily using a ctor.

If you have a well-defined refcount, and use "atomic_inc_not_zero()"
to guard the speculative RCU access section, and use
"atomic_dec_and_test()" in the freeing section, then you should be
safe wrt new allocations.

If you have a completely new allocation that has "random stale
content", you know that it cannot be on the RCU list, so there is no
speculative access that can ever see that random content.

So the only case you need to worry about is a re-use allocation, and
you know that the refcount will start out as zero even if you don't
have a constructor.

So you can think of the refcount itself as always having a zero
constructor, *BUT* you need to be careful with ordering.

In particular, whoever does the allocation needs to then set the
refcount to a non-zero value *after* it has initialized all the other
fields. And in particular, it needs to make sure that it uses the
proper memory ordering to do so.

NOTE! One thing to be very worried about is that re-initializing
whatever RCU lists means that now the RCU walker may be walking on the
wrong list so the walker may do the right thing for this particular
entry, but it may miss walking *other* entries. So then you can get
spurious lookup failures, because the RCU walker never walked all the
way to the end of the right list. That ends up being a much more
subtle bug.

drm/i915: Allow contexts to share a single timeline across all engines

Previously, our view has been always to run the engines independently
within a context. (Multiple engines happened before we had contexts and
timelines, so they always operated independently and that behaviour
persisted into contexts.) However, at the user level the context often
represents a single timeline (e.g. GL contexts) and userspace must
ensure that the individual engines are serialised to present that
ordering to the client (or forgot about this detail entirely and hope no
one notices - a fair ploy if the client can only directly control one
engine themselves ;)

In the next patch, we will want to construct a set of engines that
operate as one, that have a single timeline interwoven between them, to
present a single virtual engine to the user. (They submit to the virtual
engine, then we decide which engine to execute on based.)

To that end, we want to be able to create contexts which have a single
timeline (fence context) shared between all engines, rather than multiple
timelines.

v2: Move the specialised timeline ordering to its own function.

drm/i915: Use HW semaphores for inter-engine synchronisation on gen8+

Having introduced per-context seqno, we now have a means to identity
progress across the system without feel of rollback as befell the
global_seqno. That is we can program a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT operation in
advance of submission safe in the knowledge that our target seqno and
address is stable.

However, since we are telling the GPU to busy-spin on the target address
until it matches the signaling seqno, we only want to do so when we are
sure that busy-spin will be completed quickly. To achieve this we only
submit the request to HW once the signaler is itself executing (modulo
preemption causing us to wait longer), and we only do so for default and
above priority requests (so that idle priority tasks never themselves
hog the GPU waiting for others).

As might be reasonably expected, HW semaphores excel in inter-engine
synchronisation microbenchmarks (where the 3x reduced latency / increased
throughput more than offset the power cost of spinning on a second ring)
and have significant improvement (can be up to ~10%, most see no change)
for single clients that utilize multiple engines (typically media players
and transcoders), without regressing multiple clients that can saturate
the system or changing the power envelope dramatically.

v3: Drop the older NEQ branch, now we pin the signaler's HWSP anyway.
v4: Tell the world and include it as part of scheduler caps.

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

Rename:

wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

drm/i915: Remove kref from i915_sw_fence

My original intention was for i915_sw_fence to be the base class and
provide the reference count for the container. This was from starting
with a design to handle async_work. In practice, for i915 we embed
fences into structs which have their own independent reference counting,
making the i915_sw_fence.kref duplicitous. If we remove the kref, we
remove the i915_sw_fence's ability to free itself and its independence,
it can only exist within a container and must be supplied with a
callback to handle its release.

drm/i915: Give each sw_fence its own lockclass

Localise the static struct lock_class_key to the caller of
i915_sw_fence_init() so that we create a lock_class instance for each
unique sw_fence rather than all sw_fences sharing the same
lock_class. This eliminate some lockdep false positive when using fences
from within fence callbacks.

For the relatively small number of fences currently in use [2], this adds
160 bytes of unused text/code when lockdep is disabled. This seems
quite high, but fully reducing it via ifdeffery is also quite ugly.
Removing the #fence strings saves 72 bytes with just a single #ifdef.

A consensus was reached in

that making clear this fence applies to DMA operations was a good thing.
Since then the patch has grown a bit as usage increases, so hopefully it
remains a good thing!

drm/i915: Add a sw fence for collecting up dma fences

This is really a core kernel struct in disguise until we can finally
place it in kernel/. There is an immediate need for a fence collection
mechanism that is more flexible than fence-array, in particular being
able to easily drive request submission via events (and not just
interrupt driven). The same mechanism would be useful for handling
nonblocking and asynchronous atomic modesets, parallel execution and
more, but for the time being just create a local sw fence for execbuf.
