'ring' is an old deprecated term for a GPU engine. Chris Wilson wants to
use the name for what is currently known as an intel_ringbuffer, but it
will be dreadfully confusing if some rings are ringbuffers but other
rings are still engines. So this patch changes the names of a bunch of
parameters called 'ring' to either 'engine' or 'engine_id' according to
what they actually are.

Ringbuffers are now being written to either through LLC or WC paths, so
treating them as simply iomem is no longer adequate. However, for the
older !llc hardware, the hardware is documentated as treating the TAIL
register update as serialising, so we can relax the barriers when filling
the rings (but even if it were not, it is still an uncached register write
and so serialising anyway.).
For simplicity, let's ignore the iomem annotation.

dma-buf provides a generic fence class for interoperation between

back to userspace or between drivers.

need correct locking in the worker to make the hot path of request

Process context is preferred over softirq (or even hardirq) for a couple
of reasons:
- we already utilize process context to have fast wakeup of a single
client (i.e. the client waiting for the GPU inspects the seqno for
itself following an interrupt to avoid the overhead of a context
switch before it returns to userspace)
- engine->irq_seqno() is not suitable for use from an softirq/hardirq

One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks
all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime
transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that
each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after
every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must
do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the
lucky one.
Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and
check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in
order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken.
Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the
next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every
process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then
cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client
is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed
seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel.
Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The
benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a
batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many
concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that
the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the
number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much
worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter
for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency
for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for
many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this
is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the
concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the
solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This
appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from
having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional
wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of
performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the
incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than
immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to
wake the others.
To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we
could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler
and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the
interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU
submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half
every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the
waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in
the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the
interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace,
minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing
contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long
pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in
realtime/high-priority waiters.
v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the
bottom-half.
v3: Rename request members and tweak comments.
v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half.
v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on

On platforms with multiple forcewake domains like VLV, CHV, SKL

To implement it we add a function named

Doing a lot of work in the interrupt handler introduces huge
latencies to the system as a whole.
Most dramatic effect can be seen by running an all engine

config is lean enough, the whole system can be brought into

I could not explain, or find a code path, which would explain
a +20 second lockup, but from some instrumentation it was
apparent the interrupts off proportion of time was between
10-25% under heavy load which is quite bad.
When a interrupt "cliff" is reached, which was >~320k irq/s on
my machine, the whole system goes into a terrible state of the
above described multi-second lockups.
By moving the GT interrupt handling to a tasklet in a most
simple way, the problem above disappears completely.
Testing the effect on sytem-wide latencies using
igt/gem_syslatency shows the following before this patch:
gem_syslatency: cycles=1532739, latency mean=416531.829us max=2499237us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1839434, latency mean=1458099.157us max=4998944us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1432570, latency mean=2688.451us max=1201185us
gem_syslatency: cycles=1533543, latency mean=416520.499us max=2498886us
This shows that the unrelated process is experiencing huge
delays in its wake-up latency. After the patch the results
look like this:
gem_syslatency: cycles=808907, latency mean=53.133us max=1640us
gem_syslatency: cycles=862154, latency mean=62.778us max=2117us
gem_syslatency: cycles=856039, latency mean=58.079us max=2123us
gem_syslatency: cycles=841683, latency mean=56.914us max=1667us
Showing a huge improvement in the unrelated process wake-up
latency. It also shows an approximate halving in the number
of total empty batches submitted during the test. This may
not be worrying since the test puts the driver under
a very unrealistic load with ncpu threads doing empty batch
submission to all GPU engines each.
Another benefit compared to the hard-irq handling is that now
work on all engines can be dispatched in parallel since we can
have up to number of CPUs active tasklets. (While previously
a single hard-irq would serially dispatch on one engine after
another.)
More interesting scenario with regards to throughput is
"gem_latency -n 100" which shows 25% better throughput and
CPU usage, and 14% better dispatch latencies.
I did not find any gains or regressions with Synmark2 or
GLbench under light testing. More benchmarking is certainly
required.
v2:
* execlists_lock should be taken as spin_lock_bh when
queuing work from userspace now. (Chris Wilson)
* uncore.lock must be taken with spin_lock_irq when
submitting requests since that now runs from either
softirq or process context.
v3:
* Expanded commit message with more testing data;
* converted missed locking sites to _bh;
* added execlist_lock comment. (Chris Wilson)
v4:
* Mention dispatch parallelism in commit. (Chris Wilson)
* Do not hold uncore.lock over MMIO reads since the block
is already serialised per-engine via the tasklet itself.
(Chris Wilson)
* intel_lrc_irq_handler should be static. (Chris Wilson)
* Cancel/sync the tasklet on GPU reset. (Chris Wilson)
* Document and WARN that tasklet cannot be active/pending
on engine cleanup. (Chris Wilson/Imre Deak)

With full-ppgtt, it takes the GPU an eon to traverse the entire 256PiB
address space, causing a loop to be detected. Under the current scheme,
if ACTHD walks off the end of a batch buffer and into an empty
address space, we "never" detect the hang. If we always increment the
score as the ACTHD is progressing then we will eventually timeout (after
~46.5s (31 * 1.5s) without advancing onto a new batch). To counter act
this, increase the amount we reduce the score for good batches, so that
only a series of almost-bad batches trigger a full reset. DoS detection
suffers slightly but series of long running shader tests will benefit.
Based on a patch from Chris Wilson.

Assorted changes in the areas of code cleanup, reduction of
invariant conditional in the interrupt handler and lock
contention and MMIO access optimisation.
* Remove needless initialization.
* Improve cache locality by reorganizing code and/or using
branch hints to keep unexpected or error conditions out
of line.
* Favor busy submit path vs. empty queue.
* Less branching in hot-paths.
v2:
* Avoid mmio reads when possible. (Chris Wilson)
* Use natural integer size for csb indices.
* Remove useless return value from execlists_update_context.
* Extract 32-bit ppgtt PDPs update so it is out of line and
shared with two callers.
* Grab forcewake across all mmio operations to ease the
load on uncore lock and use chepear mmio ops.
v3:
* Removed some more pointless u8 data types.
* Removed unused return from execlists_context_queue.
* Commit message updates.
v4:
* Unclumsify the unqueue if statement. (Chris Wilson)
* Hide forcewake from the queuing function. (Chris Wilson)
Version 3 now makes the irq handling code path ~20% smaller on
48-bit PPGTT hardware, and a little bit less elsewhere. Hot
paths are mostly in-line now and hammering on the uncore
spinlock is greatly reduced together with mmio traffic to an
extent.
Benchmarking with "gem_latency -n 100" (keep submitting
batches with 100 nop instruction) shows approximately 4% higher
throughput, 2% less CPU time and 22% smaller latencies. This was
on a big-core while small-cores could benefit even more.
Most likely reason for the improvements are the MMIO
optimization and uncore lock traffic reduction.
One odd result is with "gem_latency -n 0" (dispatching empty
batches) which shows 5% more throughput, 8% less CPU time,
25% better producer and consumer latencies, but 15% higher
dispatch latency which is yet unexplained.

Tvrtko was looking through the execbuffer-ioctl and noticed that the
uABI was tightly coupled to our internal engine identifiers. Close
inspection also revealed that we leak those internal engine identifiers
through the busy-ioctl, and those internal identifiers already do not
match the user identifiers. Fortuitiously, there is only one user of the
set of busy rings from the busy-ioctl, and they only wish to choose
between the RENDER and the BLT engines.
Let's fix the userspace ABI while we still can.
v2: Update the uAPI documentation to explain the identifiers.

At the moment execbuf ring selection is fully coupled to
internal ring ids which is not a good thing on its own.
This dependency is also spread between two source files and
not spelled out at either side which makes it hidden and
fragile.
This patch decouples this dependency by introducing an explicit
translation table of execbuf uAPI to ring id close to the only
call site (i915_gem_do_execbuffer).
This way we are free to change driver internal implementation
details without breaking userspace. All state relating to the
uAPI is now contained in, or next to, i915_gem_do_execbuffer.
As a side benefit, this patch decreases the compiled size
of i915_gem_do_execbuffer.
v2: Extract ring selection into eb_select_ring. (Chris Wilson)
