      drm/i915: Include register polling in reg_rw traces · 39806c3f
      Ville Syrjälä authored
      We generally omit register polling from the i915_reg_rw tracepoint.
      Understandable since polling could generate a lot of noise in the
      trace. The downside is that the trace is incomplete. As a compromise
      let's trace the final register value observed while polling. That
      should be generally sufficient to observe what the code should be
      doing next.
      
      I suppose in some cases it might make sense to also trace the initial
      register value, and maybe the number of times we polled. But that
      would require a separate tracepoint so let's leave it for the future.
      
      The other users of _NOTRACE() are i915_pmu and i2c bitbanging,
      which I decided to leave alone.
      
      Next we should do something to claw back the tracepoints for
      planes and whatnot which were switched to _FW() a while back.
      I guess just new macros for raw_rw+trace. The question is
      what to call it?

      drm/i915: do not return invalid pointers as a *dentry · ab1ab0eb
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      When calling debugfs functions, they can now return error values if
      something went wrong.  If that happens, return a NULL as a *dentry to
      the relay core instead of passing it an illegal pointer.
      
      The relay core should be able to handle an illegal pointer, but add this
      check to be safe.

      drm/i915: Rename HAS_GMCH · b2ae318a
      Rodrigo Vivi authored
      First of all GMCH can be considered a feature by itself
      since it is a chip present in some platforms that connects
      the IA processor to memory and other components in PC.
      
      Also with the introduction of display block at device info,
      we got a redundant definition:
      
      .display.has_gmch_display = 1,
      
      So, let's clean up things a bit and use the standardized
      way of has_feature on displays side.
      
      No functional change and no manual interaction to generate
      this patch.
      
      It is only:

      drm/i915: Pull i915_gem_active into the i915_active family · 21950ee7
      Chris Wilson authored
      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).

      drm/i915: Release the active tracker tree upon idling · a42375af
      Chris Wilson authored
      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.

      Chris Wilson authored
      We currently track GPU memory usage inside VMA, such that we never
      release memory used by the GPU until after it has finished accessing it.
      However, we may want to track other resources aside from VMA, or we may
      want to split a VMA into multiple independent regions and track each
      separately. For this purpose, generalise our request tracking (akin to
      struct reservation_object) so that we can embed it into other objects.

      drm/i915: Expose RPCS (SSEU) configuration to userspace (Gen11 only) · e46c2e99
      Tvrtko Ursulin authored
      We want to allow userspace to reconfigure the subslice configuration on a
      per context basis.
      
      This is required for the functional requirement of shutting down non-VME
      enabled sub-slices on Gen11 parts.
      
      To do so, we expose a context parameter to allow adjustment of the RPCS
      register stored within the context image (and currently not accessible via
      LRI).
      
      If the context is adjusted before first use or whilst idle, the adjustment
      is for "free"; otherwise if the context is active we queue a request to do
      so (using the kernel context), following all other activity by that
      context, which is also marked as barrier for all following submission
      against the same context.
      
      Since the overhead of device re-configuration during context switching can
      be significant, especially in multi-context workloads, we limit this new
      uAPI to only support the Gen11 VME use case. In this use case either the
      device is fully enabled, and exactly one slice and half of the subslices
      are enabled.
      
      Example usage:
      
      	struct drm_i915_gem_context_param_sseu sseu = { };
      	struct drm_i915_gem_context_param arg = {
      		.param = I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_SSEU,
      		.ctx_id = gem_context_create(fd),
      		.size = sizeof(sseu),
      		.value = to_user_pointer(&sseu)
      	};
      
      	/* Query device defaults. */
      	gem_context_get_param(fd, &arg);
      
      	/* Set VME configuration on a 1x6x8 part. */
      	sseu.slice_mask = 0x1;
      	sseu.subslice_mask = 0xe0;
      	gem_context_set_param(fd, &arg);

      Timeline barrier allows serialization between different timelines.
      
      After calling i915_timeline_set_barrier with a request, all following
      submissions on this timeline will be set up as depending on this request,
      or barrier. Once the barrier has been completed it automatically gets

      drm/i915/perf: lock powergating configuration to default when active · ec431eae
      Lionel Landwerlin authored
      If some of the contexts submitting workloads to the GPU have been
      configured to shutdown slices/subslices, we might loose the NOA
      configurations written in the NOA muxes.
      
      One possible solution to this problem is to reprogram the NOA muxes
      when we switch to a new context. We initially tried this in the
      workaround batchbuffer but some concerns where raised about the cost
      of reprogramming at every context switch. This solution is also not
      without consequences from the userspace point of view. Reprogramming
      of the muxes can only happen once the powergating configuration has
      changed (which happens after context switch). This means for a window
      of time during the recording, counters recorded by the OA unit might
      be invalid. This requires userspace dealing with OA reports to discard
      the invalid values.
      
      Minimizing the reprogramming could be implemented by tracking of the
      last programmed configuration somewhere in GGTT and use MI_PREDICATE
      to discard some of the programming commands, but the command streamer
      would still have to parse all the MI_LRI instructions in the
      workaround batchbuffer.
      
      Another solution, which this change implements, is to simply disregard
      the user requested configuration for the period of time when i915/perf
      is active.
      
      On most platforms there are no issues with this apart from a performance
      penality for some media workloads that benefit from running on a partially
      powergated GPU. We already prevent RC6 from affecting the programming so
      it doesn't sound completely unreasonable to hold on powergating for the
      same reason.
      
      On Icelake however there would a functional problem if the slices not-
      containing the VME block were left enabled with a running media workload
      which explicitly disabled them. To avoid a GPU hang in this case, on
      Icelake we lock the enablement to only slices which contain VME blocks.
      Downside is that it means degraded GPU performance when OA is active but
      there is no known alternative solution for this.

      drm/i915: Record the sseu configuration per-context & engine · 87f1ef22
      Lionel Landwerlin authored
      We want to expose the ability to reconfigure the slices, subslice and
      eu per context and per engine. To facilitate that, store the current
      configuration on the context for each engine, which is initially set
      to the device default upon creation.

      drm/i915: Trim NEWCLIENT boosting · 1413b2bc
      Chris Wilson authored
      Limit the NEWCLIENT boost to only give its small priority boost to fresh
      clients only that have no dependencies.
      
      The idea for using NEWCLIENT boosting, commit b16c7651 ("drm/i915:
      Priority boost for new clients"), is that short-lived streams are often
      interactive and require lower latency -- and that by executing those
      ahead of the long running hogs, the short-lived clients do little to
      interfere with the system throughput by virtue of their short-lived
      nature. However, we were only considering the client's own timeline for
      determining whether or not it was a fresh stream. This allowed for
      compositors to wake up before their vblank and bump all of its client
      streams. However, in testing with media-bench this results in chaining
      all cooperating contexts together preventing us from being able to
      reorder contexts to reduce bubbles (pipeline stalls), overall increasing
      latency, and reducing system throughput. The exact opposite of our
      intent. The compromise of applying the NEWCLIENT boost to strictly fresh
      clients (that do not wait upon anything else) should maintain the
      "real-time response under load" characteristics of FQ_CODEL, without
      locking together the long chains of dependencies across the system.

      drm/i915: Allow normal clients to always preempt idle priority clients · 3d7a64b9
      Chris Wilson authored
      When first enabling preemption, we hesitated from making it a free-for-all
      where every higher priority client would force a preempt-to-idle cycle
      and take over from all lower priority clients. We hesitated because we
      were uncertain just how well preemption would work in practice, whether
      the preemption latency itself would detract from the latency gains for
      higher priority tasks and whether it would work at all. Since
      introducing preemption, we have been enabling it for more common tasks,
      even giving normal clients a small preemptive boost when they first
      start (to aide fairness and improve interactivity). Now lets take one
      step further and give permission for all normal (priority:0) clients to
      preempt any idle (priority:<0) task so that users running long compute
      jobs do not overly impact other jobs (i.e. their desktop) and the system
      remains responsive under such idle loads.
