GVTg has introduced the context status notifier to schedule the GVTg
workload. At that time, the notifier is bound to GVTg context only,
so GVTg is not aware of host workloads.
Now we are going to improve GVTg's guest workload scheduler policy,
and add Guc emulation support for new Gen graphics. Both these two
features require acknowledgment for all contexts running on hardware.
(But will not alter host workload.) So here try to make some change.
The change is simple:
1. Move the context status notifier head from i915_gem_context to
intel_engine_cs. Which means there is a notifier head per engine
instead of per context. Execlist driver still call notifier for
each context sched-in/out events of current engine.
2. At GVTg side, it binds a notifier_block for each physical engine
at GVTg initialization period. Then GVTg can hear all context
status events.
In this patch, GVTg do nothing for host context event, but later
will add a function there. But in any case, the notifier callback is
a noop if this is no active vGPU.
Since intel_gvt_init() is called at early initialization stage and
require the status notifier head has been initiated, I initiate it in
intel_engine_setup().
v2: remove a redundant newline. (chris)

A significant cost in setting up a wait is the overhead of enabling the
interrupt. As we disable the interrupt whenever the queue of waiters is
empty, if we are frequently waiting on alternating batches, we end up
re-enabling the interrupt on a frequent basis. We do want to disable the
interrupt during normal operations as under high load it may add several
thousand interrupts/s - we have been known in the past to occupy whole
cores with our interrupt handler after accidentally leaving user
interrupts enabled. As a compromise, leave the interrupt enabled until
the next IRQ, or the system is idle. This gives a small window for a
waiter to keep the interrupt active and not be delayed by having to
re-enable the interrupt.

As execlists and other non-semaphore multi-engine devices coordinate
between engines using interrupts, we can shave off a few 10s of
microsecond of scheduling latency by doing the fence signaling from the
interrupt as opposed to a RT kthread. (Realistically the delay adds
about 1% to an individual cross-engine workload.) We only signal the
first fence in order to limit the amount of work we move into the
interrupt handler. We also have to remember that our breadcrumbs may be
unordered with respect to the interrupt and so we still require the
waiter process to perform some heavyweight coherency fixups, as well as
traversing the tree of waiters.

it to determine whether wake_up_process() detected the waiter was
currently running (and if so we presume that it hasn't yet missed the
interrupt). However, in the fake_irq path, we are using the return value
as a check as to whether there are any waiters, and so we may
incorrectly stop the fake-irq if that waiter was currently running.
To handle the two different needs, return both bits of information! We
uninline it from the irq path in preparation for the next patch which

A request is assigned a global seqno only when it is on the hardware
execution queue. The global seqno can be used to maintain a list of
requests on the same engine in retirement order, for example for
constructing a priority queue for waiting. Prior to its execution, or
if it is subsequently removed in the event of preemption, its global
seqno is zero. As both insertion and removal from the execution queue
may operate in IRQ context, it is not guarded by the usual struct_mutex
BKL. Instead those relying on the global seqno must be prepared for its
value to change between reads. Only when the request is complete can
the global seqno be stable (due to the memory barriers on submitting
the commands to the hardware to write the breadcrumb, if the HWS shows
that it has passed the global seqno and the global seqno is unchanged
after the read, it is indeed complete).

This removes the usage of intel_ring_emit in favour of

intel_ring_emit was preventing the compiler for optimising
fetch and increment of the current ring buffer pointer and
therefore generating very verbose code for every write.
It had no useful purpose since all ringbuffer operations
are started and ended with intel_ring_begin and
intel_ring_advance respectively, with no bail out in the
middle possible, so it is fine to increment the tail in
intel_ring_begin and let the code manage the pointer
itself.
Useless instruction removal amounts to approximately
two and half kilobytes of saved text on my build.

implications but executing a ton of useless instructions
on fast paths cannot be good.

The requests conversion introduced a nasty bug where we could generate a
new request in the middle of constructing a request if we needed to idle
the system in order to evict space for a context. The request to idle
would be executed (and waited upon) before the current one, creating a
minor havoc in the seqno accounting, as we will consider the current
request to already be completed (prior to deferred seqno assignment) but
ring->last_retired_head would have been updated and still could allow
us to overwrite the current request before execution.
We also employed two different mechanisms to track the active context
until it was switched out. The legacy method allowed for waiting upon an
active context (it could forcibly evict any vma, including context's),
but the execlists method took a step backwards by pinning the vma for
the entire active lifespan of the context (the only way to evict was to
idle the entire GPU, not individual contexts). However, to circumvent
the tricky issue of locking (i.e. we cannot take struct_mutex at the
time of i915_gem_request_submit(), where we would want to move the
previous context onto the active tracker and unpin it), we take the
execlists approach and keep the contexts pinned until retirement.
The benefit of the execlists approach, more important for execlists than
legacy, was the reduction in work in pinning the context for each
request - as the context was kept pinned until idle, it could short
circuit the pinning for all active contexts.
We introduce new engine vfuncs to pin and unpin the context
respectively. The context is pinned at the start of the request, and
only unpinned when the following request is retired (this ensures that
the context is idle and coherent in main memory before we unpin it). We
move the engine->last_context tracking into the retirement itself
(rather than during request submission) in order to allow the submission
to be reordered or unwound without undue difficultly.
And finally an ulterior motive for unifying context handling was to
prepare for mock requests.

Hangcheck state accumulation has gained more steps
along the years, like head movement and more recently the
subunit inactivity check. As the subunit sampling is only
done if the previous state check showed inactivity, we
have added more stages (and time) to reach a hang verdict.
Asymmetric engine states led to different actual weight of
'one hangcheck unit' and it was demonstrated in some
hangs that due to difference in stages, simpler engines
were accused falsely of a hang as their scoring was much
more quicker to accumulate above the hang treshold.
To completely decouple the hangcheck guilty score
from the hangcheck period, convert hangcheck score to a
rough period of inactivity measurement. As these are
tracked as jiffies, they are meaningful also across
reset boundaries. This makes finding a guilty engine
more accurate across multi engine activity scenarios,

We lose the ability to detect cross batch malicious attempts
to hinder the progress. Plan is to move this functionality
to be part of context banning which is more natural fit,
later in the series.
v2: use time_before macros (Chris)
reinstate the pardoning of moving engine after hc (Chris)
v3: avoid global state for per engine stall detection (Chris)
v4: take timeline last retirement into account (Chris)
v5: do debug print on pardoning, split out retirement timestamp (Chris)

In order to simplify hangcheck state keeping, split hangcheck
per engine loop in three phases: state load, action, state save.
Add few more hangcheck actions to separate between seqno, head
and subunit movements. This helps to gather all the hangcheck
actions under a single switch umbrella.

Track the priority of each request and use it to determine the order in
which we submit requests to the hardware via execlists.
The priority of the request is determined by the user (eventually via
the context) but may be overridden at any time by the driver. When we set
the priority of the request, we bump the priority of all of its
dependencies to match - so that a high priority drawing operation is not
stuck behind a background task.
When the request is ready to execute (i.e. we have signaled the submit
fence following completion of all its dependencies, including third
party fences), we put the request into a priority sorted rbtree to be
submitted to the hardware. If the request is higher priority than all
pending requests, it will be submitted on the next context-switch
interrupt as soon as the hardware has completed the current request. We
do not currently preempt any current execution to immediately run a very
high priority request, at least not yet.
One more limitation, is that this is first implementation is for
execlists only so currently limited to gen8/gen9.
v2: Replace recursive priority inheritance bumping with an iterative
depth-first search list.
v3: list_next_entry() for walking lists
v4: Explain how the dfs solves the recursion problem with PI.

When we need to reset the global seqno on wraparound, we have to wait
until the current rbtrees are drained (or otherwise the next waiter will
be out of sequence). The current mechanism to kick and spin until
complete, may exit too early as it would break if the target thread was
currently running. Instead, we must wake up the threads, but keep
spinning until the trees have been deleted.
In order to appease Tvrtko, busy spin rather than yield().

With the infrastructure converted over to tracking multiple timelines in
the GEM API whilst preserving the efficiency of using a single execution
timeline internally, we can now assign a separate timeline to every
context with full-ppgtt.

Currently we try to reduce the number of synchronisations (now the
number of requests we need to wait upon) by noting that if we have
earlier waited upon a request, all subsequent requests in the timeline
will be after the wait. This only applies to requests in this timeline,
as other timelines will not be ordered by that waiter.

Move the actual emission of the breadcrumb for closing the request from
i915_add_request() to the submit callback. (It can be moved later when
required.) This allows us to defer the allocation of the global_seqno
from request construction to actual submission, allowing us to emit the
requests out of order (wrt to the order of their construction, they
still will only be executed one all of their dependencies are resolved
including that all earlier requests on their timeline have been
submitted.) We have to specialise how we then emit the request in order
to write into the preallocated space, rather than at the tail of the
ringbuffer (which will have been advanced by the addition of new
requests).

reserving sufficient space in the ringbuffer to emit the breadcrumb, which

Now that the emission of the request tail and its submission to hardware
are two separate steps, engine->emit_request() is confusing.
engine->emit_request() is called to emit the breadcrumb commands for the
request into the ring, name it such (engine->emit_breadcrumb).

Our timelines are more than just a seqno. They also provide an ordered
list of requests to be executed. Due to the restriction of handling
individual address spaces, we are limited to a timeline per address
space but we use a fence context per engine within.
Our first step to introducing independent timelines per context (i.e. to
allow each context to have a queue of requests to execute that have a
defined set of dependencies on other requests) is to provide a timeline
abstraction for the global execution queue.

The golden render state is constant, but we recreate the batch setting
it up for every new context. If we keep that batch in a volatile cache
we can safely reuse it whenever we need to initialise a new context. We
mark the pages as purgeable and use the shrinker to recover pages from
the batch whenever we face memory pressues, recreating that batch afresh
on the next new context.

Since we only use the more generic unlocked variant, just rename it as

always acquire the reference in a RCU safe manner, but the benefit is
