drm/doc/rfc: i915 DG1 uAPI Add an entry for the new uAPI needed for DG1. Also add the overall upstream plan, including some notes for the TTM conversion. v2(Daniel): - include the overall upstreaming plan - add a note for mmap, there are differences here for TTM vs i915 - bunch of other suggestions from Daniel v3: (Daniel) - add a note for set/get caching stuff - add some more docs for existing query and extensions stuff - add an actual code example for regions query - bunch of other stuff (Jason) - uAPI change(!): - try a simpler design with the placements extension - rather than have a generic setparam which can cover multiple use cases, have each extension be responsible for one thing only v4: (Daniel) - add some more notes for ttm conversion - bunch of other stuff (Jason) - uAPI change(!): - drop all the extra rsvd members for the region_query and region_info, just keep the bare minimum needed for padding v5: (Jason) - for the upstream plan, add a requirement that we send the uAPI bits again for final sign off before turning it on for real - document how we intend to extend the rsvd bits for the region query (Kenneth) - improve the comment for the smem+lmem mmap mode and caching Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com> Cc: Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.g.landwerlin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jon Bloomfield <jon.bloomfield@intel.com> Cc: Jordan Justen <jordan.l.justen@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Cc: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@gmail.com> Cc: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Cc: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Acked-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Acked-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Acked-by: Jon Bloomfield <jon.bloomfield@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210429103056.407067-1-matthew.auld@intel.com

=========================
I915 DG1/LMEM RFC Section
=========================
Upstream plan
=============
For upstream the overall plan for landing all the DG1 stuff and turning it for
real, with all the uAPI bits is:
* Merge basic HW enabling of DG1(still without pciid)
* Merge the uAPI bits behind special CONFIG_BROKEN(or so) flag
* At this point we can still make changes, but importantly this lets us
start running IGTs which can utilize local-memory in CI
* Convert over to TTM, make sure it all keeps working. Some of the work items:
* TTM shrinker for discrete
* dma_resv_lockitem for full dma_resv_lock, i.e not just trylock
* Use TTM CPU pagefault handler
* Route shmem backend over to TTM SYSTEM for discrete
* TTM purgeable object support
* Move i915 buddy allocator over to TTM
* Send RFC(with mesa-dev on cc) for final sign off on the uAPI
* Add pciid for DG1 and turn on uAPI for real
