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.

Currently we assume that we know the order in which requests run and so
can determine if we need to reissue a switch-to-kernel-context prior to
idling. That assumption does not hold for the future, so instead of
tracking which barriers have been used, simply determine if we have ever
switched away from the kernel context by using the engine and before
idling ensure that all engines that have been used since the last idle
are synchronously switched back to the kernel context for safety (and
else of shrinking memory while idle).

At a few points in our uABI, we check to see if the driver is wedged and
report -EIO back to the user in that case. However, as we perform the
check and reset asynchronously (where once before they were both
serialised by the struct_mutex), we may instead see the temporary wedging
used to cancel inflight rendering to avoid a deadlock during reset
(caused by either us timing out in our reset handler,
i915_wedge_on_timeout or with malice aforethought in intel_reset_prepare
for a stuck modeset). If we suspect this is the case, that is we see a
wedged driver *and* reset in progress, then wait until the reset is

Before adding yet another copy of struct live_test and its handler,
refactor the existing code into a common framework for live selftests.
For many live selftests, we want to know if the GPU hung or otherwise
misbehaved during the execution of the test (beyond any infraction in
the behaviour under test), live_test provides this by comparing the
GPU state before and after, alerting if it unexpectedly changed (e.g.
the reset counter changed). It also ensures that the GPU is idle before
and after the test, so that residual code running on the GPU is flushed
before testing.

The majority of runtime-pm operations are bounded and scoped within a
function; these are easy to verify that the wakeref are handled
correctly. We can employ the compiler to help us, and reduce the number
of wakerefs tracked when debugging, by passing around cookies provided
by the various rpm_get functions to their rpm_put counterpart. This
makes the pairing explicit, and given the required wakeref cookie the
compiler can verify that we pass an initialised value to the rpm_put
(quite handy for double checking error paths).
For regular builds, the compiler should be able to eliminate the unused
local variables and the program growth should be minimal. Fwiw, it came
out as a net improvement as gcc was able to refactor rpm_get and
rpm_get_if_in_use together,

Usually we have no idea about the upper bound we need to wait to catch
up with userspace when idling the device, but in a few situations we
know the system was idle beforehand and can provide a short timeout in
order to very quickly catch a failure, long before hangcheck kicks in.
In the following patches, we will use the timeout to curtain two overly
long waits, where we know we can expect the GPU to complete within a
reasonable time or declare it broken.
In particular, with a broken GPU we expect it to fail during the initial
GPU setup where do a couple of context switches to record the defaults.
This is a task that takes a few milliseconds even on the slowest of
devices, but we may have to wait 60s for hangcheck to give in and
declare the machine inoperable. In this a case where any gpu hang is
unacceptable, both from a timeliness and practical standpoint.
The other improvement is that in selftests, we do not need to arm an
independent timer to inject a wedge, as we can just limit the timeout on
the wait directly.
v2: Include the timeout parameter in the trace.

For symmetry, simplicity and ensuring the request is always truly idle
upon its completion, always emit the closing flush prior to emitting the
request breadcrumb. Previously, we would only emit the flush if we had
started a user batch, but this just leaves all the other paths open to
speculation (do they affect the GPU caches or not?) With mm switching, a
key requirement is that the GPU is flushed and invalidated before hand,
so for absolute safety, we want that closing flush be mandatory.

We were not very carefully checking to see if an older request on the
engine was an earlier switch-to-kernel-context before deciding to emit a
new switch. The end result would be that we could get into a permanent
loop of trying to emit a new request to perform the switch simply to
flush the existing switch.
What we need is a means of tracking the completion of each timeline
versus the kernel context, that is to detect if a more recent request
has been submitted that would result in a switch away from the kernel
context. To realise this, we need only to look in our syncmap on the
kernel context and check that we have synchronized against all active
rings.
v2: Since all ringbuffer clients currently share the same timeline, we do
have to use the gem_context to distinguish clients.
As a bonus, include all the tracing used to debug the death inside
suspend.
v3: Test, test, test. Construct a selftest to exercise and assert the
expected behaviour that multiple switch-to-contexts do not emit
redundant requests.

We need to move to a more flexible timeline that doesn't assume one
fence context per engine, and so allow for a single timeline to be used

context per engine is now a hindrance, and so we want to introduce the
singular timeline. From the code perspective, this has the notable
advantage of clearing up a lot of mirky semantics and some clumsy
pointer chasing.
By splitting the timeline up into a single entity rather than an array
of per-engine timelines, we can realise the goal of the previous patch

In the future, we want to move a request between engines. To achieve
this, we first realise that we have two timelines in effect here. The
first runs through the GTT is required for ordering vma access, which is
tracked currently by engine. The second is implied by sequential
execution of commands inside the ringbuffer. This timeline is one that
maps to userspace's expectations when submitting requests (i.e. given the
same context, batch A is executed before batch B). As the rings's
timelines map to userspace and the GTT timeline an implementation
detail, move the timeline from the GTT into the ring itself (per-context
in logical-ring-contexts/execlists, or a global per-engine timeline for
the shared ringbuffers in legacy submission.
The two timelines are still assumed to be equivalent at the moment (no
migrating requests between engines yet) and so we can simply move from
one to the other without adding extra ordering.
v2: Reinforce that one isn't allowed to mix the engine execution
timeline with the client timeline from userspace (on the ring).
