The first goal is to be able to measure GPU (and invidual ring) busyness
without having to poll registers from userspace. (Which not only incurs
holding the forcewake lock indefinitely, perturbing the system, but also
runs the risk of hanging the machine.) As an alternative we can use the
perf event counter interface to sample the ring registers periodically
and send those results to userspace.

Functionality we are exporting to userspace is via the existing perf PMU
API and can be exercised via the existing tools. For example:

  perf stat -a -e i915/rcs0-busy/ -I 1000

Will print the render engine busynnes once per second. All the performance
counters can be enumerated (perf list) and have their unit of measure
correctly reported in sysfs.

v1-v2 (Chris Wilson):

v2: Use a common timer for the ring sampling.

v3: (Tvrtko Ursulin)
 * Decouple uAPI from i915 engine ids.
 * Complete uAPI defines.
 * Refactor some code to helpers for clarity.
 * Skip sampling disabled engines.
 * Expose counters in sysfs.
 * Pass in fake regs to avoid null ptr deref in perf core.
 * Convert to class/instance uAPI.
 * Use shared driver code for rc6 residency, power and frequency.

v4: (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
 * Register PMU with .task_ctx_nr=perf_invalid_context
 * Expose cpumask for the PMU with the single CPU in the mask
 * Properly support pmu->stop(): it should call pmu->read()
 * Properly support pmu->del(): it should call stop(event, PERF_EF_UPDATE)
 * Introduce refcounting of event subscriptions.
 * Make pmu.busy_stats a refcounter to avoid busy stats going away
   with some deleted event.
 * Expose cpumask for i915 PMU to avoid multiple events creation of
   the same type followed by counter aggregation by perf-stat.
 * Track CPUs getting online/offline to migrate perf context. If (likely)
   cpumask will initially set CPU0, CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 will be
   needed to see effect of CPU status tracking.
 * End result is that only global events are supported and perf stat
   works correctly.
 * Deny perf driver level sampling - it is prohibited for uncore PMU.

v5: (Tvrtko Ursulin)

 * Don't hardcode number of engine samplers.
 * Rewrite event ref-counting for correctness and simplicity.
 * Store initial counter value when starting already enabled events
   to correctly report values to all listeners.
 * Fix RC6 residency readout.
 * Comments, GPL header.

v6:
 * Add missing entry to v4 changelog.
 * Fix accounting in CPU hotplug case by copying the approach from
   arch/x86/events/intel/cstate.c. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)

v7:
 * Log failure message only on failure.
 * Remove CPU hotplug notification state on unregister.

v8:
 * Fix error unwind on failed registration.
 * Checkpatch cleanup.

v9:
 * Drop the energy metric, it is available via intel_rapl_perf.
   (Ville Syrjälä)
 * Use HAS_RC6(p). (Chris Wilson)
 * Handle unsupported non-engine events. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
 * Rebase for intel_rc6_residency_ns needing caller managed
   runtime pm.
 * Drop HAS_RC6 checks from the read callback since creating those
   events will be rejected at init time already.
 * Add counter units to sysfs so perf stat output is nicer.
 * Cleanup the attribute tables for brevity and readability.

v10:
 * Fixed queued accounting.

v11:
 * Move intel_engine_lookup_user to intel_engine_cs.c
 * Commit update. (Joonas Lahtinen)

v12:
 * More accurate sampling. (Chris Wilson)
 * Store and report frequency in MHz for better usability from
   perf stat.
 * Removed metrics: queued, interrupts, rc6 counters.
 * Sample engine busyness based on seqno difference only
   for less MMIO (and forcewake) on all platforms. (Chris Wilson)

v13:
 * Comment spelling, use mul_u32_u32 to work around potential GCC
   issue and somne code alignment changes. (Chris Wilson)

v14:
 * Rebase.

v15:
 * Rebase for RPS refactoring.

v16:
 * Use the dynamic slot in the CPU hotplug state machine so that we are
   free to setup our state as multi-instance. Previously we were re-using
   the CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_UNCORE_ONLINE slot which is neither used as
   multi-instance, nor owned by our driver to start with.
 * Register the CPU hotplug handlers after the PMU, otherwise the callback
   will get called before the PMU is initialized which can end up in
   perf_pmu_migrate_context with an un-initialized base.
 * Added workaround for a probable bug in cpuhp core.

v17:
 * Remove workaround for the cpuhp bug.

v18:
 * Rebase for drm_i915_gem_engine_class getting upstream before us.

v19:
 * Rebase. (trivial)
