Rather than having special case code for opportunistically calling
process_csb() and performing a direct submit while holding the engine
spinlock for submitting the request, simply call the tasklet directly.
This allows us to retain the direct submission path, including the CS
draining to allow fast/immediate submissions, without requiring any
duplicated code paths, and most importantly greatly simplifying the
control flow by removing reentrancy. This will enable us to close a few
races in the virtual engines in the next few patches.
The trickiest part here is to ensure that paired operations (such as
schedule_in/schedule_out) remain under consistent locking domains,
e.g. when pulled outside of the engine->active.lock
v2: Use bh kicking, see commit 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET
softirq synchronous").
v3: Update engine-reset to be tasklet aware

Reduce the smoke depth by trimming the number of contexts, repetitions
and wait times. This is in preparation for a less greedy scheduler that
tries to be fair across contexts, resulting in a great many more context
switches. A thousand context switches may be 50-100ms, causing us to
timeout as the HW is not fast enough to complete the deep smoketests.

We infrequently use the direct i915 backpointer from the i915_request,

Trying to use i915_request_skip() prior to i915_request_add() causes us
to try and fill the ring upto request->postfix, which has not yet been
set, and so may cause us to memset() past the end of the ring.
Instead of skipping the request immediately, just flag the error on the
request (only accepting the first fatal error we see) and then clear the
request upon submission.

Vanshidhar Konda asked for the simplest test "to verify that the kernel
can submit and hardware can execute batch buffers on all the command
streamers in parallel." We have a number of tests in userspace that
submit load to each engine and verify that it is present, but strictly
we have no selftest to prove that the kernel can _simultaneously_
execute on all known engines. (We have tests to demonstrate that we can
submit to HW in parallel, but we don't insist that they execute in
parallel.)
v2: Improve the igt_spinner support for older gen.

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)

When we return pages to the system, we ensure that they are marked as
being in the CPU domain since any external access is uncontrolled and we
must assume the worst. This means that we need to always flush the pages
on acquisition if we need to use them on the GPU, and from the beginning
have used set-domain. Set-domain is overkill for the purpose as it is a
general synchronisation barrier, but our intent is to only flush the
pages being swapped in. If we move that flush into the pages acquisition
phase, we know then that when we have obj->mm.pages, they are coherent
with the GPU and need only maintain that status without resorting to
heavy handed use of set-domain.
The principle knock-on effect for userspace is through mmap-gtt
pagefaulting. Our uAPI has always implied that the GTT mmap was async
(especially as when any pagefault occurs is unpredicatable to userspace)
and so userspace had to apply explicit domain control itself
(set-domain). However, swapping is transparent to the kernel, and so on
first fault we need to acquire the pages and make them coherent for
access through the GTT. Our use of set-domain here leaks into the uABI
that the first pagefault was synchronous. This is unintentional and
baring a few igt should be unoticed, nevertheless we bump the uABI
version for mmap-gtt to reflect the change in behaviour.
Another implication of the change is that gem_create() is presumed to
create an object that is coherent with the CPU and is in the CPU write
domain, so a set-domain(CPU) following a gem_create() would be a minor
operation that merely checked whether we could allocate all pages for
the object. On applying this change, a set-domain(CPU) causes a clflush
as we acquire the pages. This will have a small impact on mesa as we move
the clflush here on !llc from execbuf time to create, but that should
have minimal performance impact as the same clflush exists but is now
done early and because of the clflush issue, userspace recycles bo and
so should resist allocating fresh objects.
Internally, the presumption that objects are created in the CPU
write-domain and remain so through writes to obj->mm.mapping is more
prevalent than I expected; but easy enough to catch and apply a manual
flush.
For the future, we should push the page flush from the central
set_pages() into the callers so that we can more finely control when it
is applied, but for now doing it one location is easier to validate, at
the cost of sometimes flushing when there is no need.

A few years ago, see commit 688e6c725816 ("drm/i915: Slaughter the
thundering i915_wait_request herd"), the issue of handling multiple
clients waiting in parallel was brought to our attention. The
requirement was that every client should be woken immediately upon its
request being signaled, without incurring any cpu overhead.
To handle certain fragility of our hw meant that we could not do a
simple check inside the irq handler (some generations required almost
unbounded delays before we could be sure of seqno coherency) and so
request completion checking required delegation.
Before commit 688e6c725816, the solution was simple. Every client
waiting on a request would be woken on every interrupt and each would do
a heavyweight check to see if their request was complete. Commit
688e6c725816 introduced an rbtree so that only the earliest waiter on
the global timeline would woken, and would wake the next and so on.
(Along with various complications to handle requests being reordered
along the global timeline, and also a requirement for kthread to provide
a delegate for fence signaling that had no process context.)
The global rbtree depends on knowing the execution timeline (and global
seqno). Without knowing that order, we must instead check all contexts
queued to the HW to see which may have advanced. We trim that list by
only checking queued contexts that are being waited on, but still we
keep a list of all active contexts and their active signalers that we
inspect from inside the irq handler. By moving the waiters onto the fence
signal list, we can combine the client wakeup with the dma_fence
signaling (a dramatic reduction in complexity, but does require the HW
being coherent, the seqno must be visible from the cpu before the
interrupt is raised - we keep a timer backup just in case).
Having previously fixed all the issues with irq-seqno serialisation (by
inserting delays onto the GPU after each request instead of random delays
on the CPU after each interrupt), we can rely on the seqno state to
perfom direct wakeups from the interrupt handler. This allows us to
preserve our single context switch behaviour of the current routine,
with the only downside that we lose the RT priority sorting of wakeups.
In general, direct wakeup latency of multiple clients is about the same
(about 10% better in most cases) with a reduction in total CPU time spent
in the waiter (about 20-50% depending on gen). Average herd behaviour is
improved, but at the cost of not delegating wakeups on task_prio.
v2: Capture fence signaling state for error state and add comments to
warm even the most cold of hearts.
v3: Check if the request is still active before busywaiting
v4: Reduce the amount of pointer misdirection with list_for_each_safe
and using a local i915_request variable inside the loops
v5: Add a missing pluralisation to a purely informative selftest message.
