Allow the caller to also wait upon the barriers stored in i915_active.
v2: Hook up i915_request_await_active(I915_ACTIVE_AWAIT_BARRIER) as well
for completeness, and avoid the lazy GEM_BUG_ON()!
v3: Pull flush_lazy_signals() under the active-ref protection as it too
walks the rbtree and so we must be careful that we do not free it as we
iterate.

Keep the engine-pm awake until the next jiffie, to avoid immediate
ping-pong under moderate load. (Forcing the idle barrier excerbates the
moderate load, dramatically increasing the driver overhead.) On the
other hand, delaying the idle-barrier slightly incurs longer rc6-off
and so more power consumption.

Attaching to the i915_active barrier is a two stage process, and a flush
is only effective when the barrier is activation. Thus it is possible
for us to see a barrier, and attempt to flush, only for our flush to
have no effect. As such, before attempting to activate signaling on the
fence we need to double check it is a fence!

On Braswell and Broxton (also known as Valleyview and Apollolake), we
need to serialise updates of the GGTT using the big stop_machine()
hammer. This has the side effect of appearing to lockdep as a possible
reclaim (since it uses the cpuhp mutex and that is tainted by per-cpu
allocations). However, we want to use vm->mutex (including ggtt->mutex)
from within the shrinker and so must avoid such possible taints. For this
purpose, we introduced the asynchronous vma binding and we can apply it
to the PIN_GLOBAL so long as take care to add the necessary waits for
the worker afterwards.

As we use a mutex to serialise the first acquire (as it may be a lengthy
operation), but only an atomic decrement for the release, we have to
be careful in case a second thread races and completes both
acquire/release as the first finishes its acquire.
Thread A Thread B
i915_active_acquire i915_active_acquire
atomic_read() == 0 atomic_read() == 0
mutex_lock() mutex_lock()
atomic_read() == 0
ref->active();
atomic_inc()
mutex_unlock()
atomic_read() == 1
i915_active_release
atomic_dec_and_test() -> 0
ref->retire()
atomic_inc() -> 1
mutex_unlock()
So thread A has acquired the ref->active_count but since the ref was
still active at the time, it did not initialise it. By switching the
check inside the mutex to an atomic increment only if already active, we
close the race.

The last remaining reason for serialising the pin/unpin of the
intel_context is to ensure that our preallocated wakerefs are not
consumed too early (i.e. the unpin of the previous phase does not emit
the idle barriers for this phase before we even submit). All of the
other operations within the context pin/unpin are supposed to be
atomic... Therefore, we can reduce the serialisation to being just on
the i915_active.preallocated_barriers itself and drop the nested
pin_mutex from intel_context_unpin().

Allocate only an internal intel_context for the kernel_context, forgoing

Now having weaned GT from requiring ce->gem_context, we can stop

and unnecessary GEM contexts for internal use.
GEM contexts are now entirely for tracking GEM clients, and intel_context

i915_active are used within the shrinker and so have much more severe

i915_active workers have the same lock class, and we may generate false

chains.

The expected downside to commit 58b4c1a07ada ("drm/i915: Reduce nested
prepare_remote_context() to a trylock") was that it would need to return
-EAGAIN to userspace in order to resolve potential mutex inversion. Such
an unsightly round trip is unnecessary if we could atomically insert a
barrier into the i915_active_fence, so make it happen.
Currently, we use the timeline->mutex (or some other named outer lock)
to order insertion into the i915_active_fence (and so individual nodes
of i915_active). Inside __i915_active_fence_set, we only need then
serialise with the interrupt handler in order to claim the timeline for
ourselves.
However, if we remove the outer lock, we need to ensure the order is
intact between not only multiple threads trying to insert themselves
into the timeline, but also with the interrupt handler completing the
previous occupant. We use xchg() on insert so that we have an ordered
sequence of insertions (and each caller knows the previous fence on
which to wait, preserving the chain of all fences in the timeline), but
we then have to cmpxchg() in the interrupt handler to avoid overwriting
the new occupant. The only nasty side-effect is having to temporarily
strip off the RCU-annotations to apply the atomic operations, otherwise
the rules are much more conventional!

Previously, we assumed we could use mutex_trylock() within an atomic
context, falling back to a worker if contended. However, such trickery
is illegal inside interrupt context, and so we need to always use a
worker under such circumstances. As we normally are in process context,
we can typically use a plain mutex, and only defer to a work when we
know we are being called from an interrupt path.

Medium term goal is to eliminate the i915->engine[] array and to get there
we have recently introduced equivalent array in intel_gt. Now we need to
migrate the code further towards this state.
This next step is to eliminate usage of i915->engines[] from the
for_each_engine_masked iterator.
For this to work we also need to use engine->id as index when populating
the gt->engine[] array and adjust the default engine set indexing to use
engine->legacy_idx instead of assuming gt->engines[] indexing.
v2:
* Populate gt->engine[] earlier.
* Check that we don't duplicate engine->legacy_idx
v3:
* Work around the initialization order issue between default_engines()
and intel_engines_driver_register() which sets engine->legacy_idx for
now. It will be fixed properly later.
v4:
* Merge with forgotten v2.5.

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.

Replace the struct_mutex requirement for pinning the i915_vma with the
local vm->mutex instead. Note that the vm->mutex is tainted by the
shrinker (we require unbinding from inside fs-reclaim) and so we cannot
allocate while holding that mutex. Instead we have to preallocate
workers to do allocate and apply the PTE updates after we have we
reserved their slot in the drm_mm (using fences to order the PTE writes
with the GPU work and with later unbind).
In adding the asynchronous vma binding, one subtle requirement is to
avoid coupling the binding fence into the backing object->resv. That is
the asynchronous binding only applies to the vma timeline itself and not
to the pages as that is a more global timeline (the binding of one vma
does not need to be ordered with another vma, nor does the implicit GEM
fencing depend on a vma, only on writes to the backing store). Keeping
the vma binding distinct from the backing store timelines is verified by
a number of async gem_exec_fence and gem_exec_schedule tests. The way we
do this is quite simple, we keep the fence for the vma binding separate
and only wait on it as required, and never add it to the obj->resv
itself.
Another consequence in reducing the locking around the vma is the
destruction of the vma is no longer globally serialised by struct_mutex.
A natural solution would be to add a kref to i915_vma, but that requires
decoupling the reference cycles, possibly by introducing a new
i915_mm_pages object that is own by both obj->mm and vma->pages.
However, we have not taken that route due to the overshadowing lmem/ttm
discussions, and instead play a series of complicated games with
trylocks to (hopefully) ensure that only one destruction path is called!

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)

We use the request pointer inside the i915_active_node as the indicator
of the barrier's status; we mark it as used during
i915_request_add_active_barriers(), and search for an available barrier
in reuse_idle_barrier(). That check must be carefully serialised to
ensure we do use an engine for the barrier and not just a random
pointer. (Along the other reuse path, we are fully serialised by the
timeline->mutex.) The acquisition of the barrier itself is ordered through
the strong memory barrier in llist_del_all().

By placing our idle-barriers in the i915_active fence tree, we expose
those for reuse by other components that are issuing requests along the
kernel_context. Reusing the proto-barrier active_node is perfectly fine
as the new request implies a context-switch, and so an opportune point
to run the idle-barrier. However, the proto-barrier is not equivalent
to a normal active_node and care must be taken to avoid dereferencing the
ERR_PTR used as its request marker.

Currently we use the engine->active.lock to ensure that the request is
not retired as we capture the data. However, we only need to ensure that
the vma are not removed prior to use acquiring their contents, and
since we have already relinquished our stop-machine protection, we
assume that the user will not be overwriting the contents before we are
able to record them.
In order to capture the vma outside of the spinlock, we acquire a
reference and mark the vma as active to prevent it from being unbound.
However, since it is tricky allocate an entry in the fence tree (doing
so would require taking a mutex) while inside the engine spinlock, we
use an atomic bit and special case the handling for i915_active_wait.
The core benefit is that we can use some non-atomic methods for mapping
the device pages, we can remove the slow compression phase out of atomic
context (i.e. stop antagonising the nmi-watchdog), and no we longer need
large reserves of atomic pages.

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

As kmem_caches share the same properties (size, allocation/free behaviour)
for all potential devices, we can use global caches. While this
potential has worse fragmentation behaviour (one can argue that
different devices would have different activity lifetimes, but you can
also argue that activity is temporal across the system) it is the
default behaviour of the system at large to amalgamate matching caches.
The benefit for us is much reduced pointer dancing along the frequent
allocation paths.

multiple consumers of the slab caches, similar to the current strategy

Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one
request, and to give it a longer, less appealing name).

As soon as we detect that the active tracker is idle and we prepare to
call the retire callback, release the storage for our tree of
per-timeline nodes. We expect these to be infrequently used and quick
to allocate, so there is little benefit in keeping the tree cached and
we would prefer to return the pages back to the system in a timely
fashion.
This also means that when we finalize the struct as a whole, we know as
the activity tracker must be idle, the tree has already been released.
Indeed we can reduce i915_active_fini() just to the assertions that there
is nothing to do.
