The I915_TILING_* values in our uapi header are intended solely for use
with the old get_tiling/set_tiling ioctls that operate on hardware
de-tiling fences; all other uapi communication about tiling types is
done via framebuffer modifiers rather than with these old values.
On newer Intel platforms detiling fences no longer exist so the old
get_tiling/set_tiling ioctls are no longer usable and will always return
-EOPNOTSUPP. This means there's no reason to add new tiling types (such
as the Tile4 format introduced by Xe_HP) to the uapi header here. Any
kernel-internal code that needs to represent tiling format should either
rely on framebuffer modifiers (as the display code does) or use some
kind of non-uapi enum (as the GEM blt selftest now does).

This api allow user mode to create protected buffers and to mark
contexts as making use of such objects. Only when using contexts
marked in such a way is the execution guaranteed to work as expected.
Contexts can only be marked as using protected content at creation time
(i.e. the parameter is immutable) and they must be both bannable and not
recoverable. Given that the protected session gets invalidated on
suspend, contexts created this way hold a runtime pm wakeref until
they're either destroyed or invalidated.
All protected objects and contexts will be considered invalid when the
PXP session is destroyed and all new submissions using them will be
rejected. All intel contexts within the invalidated gem contexts will be
marked banned. Userspace can detect that an invalidation has occurred via
the RESET_STATS ioctl, where we report it the same way as a ban due to a
hang.

Jason Ekstrand requested a more efficient method than userptr+set-domain
to determine if the userptr object was backed by a complete set of pages
upon creation. To be more efficient than simply populating the userptr
using get_user_pages() (as done by the call to set-domain or execbuf),
we can walk the tree of vm_area_struct and check for gaps or vma not
backed by struct page (VM_PFNMAP). The question is how to handle
VM_MIXEDMAP which may be either struct page or pfn backed...
With discrete we are going to drop support for set_domain(), so offering
a way to probe the pages, without having to resort to dummy batches has
been requested.
v2:
- add new query param for the PROBE flag, so userspace can easily
check if the kernel supports it(Jason).
- use mmap_read_{lock, unlock}.
- add some kernel-doc.
v3:
- In the docs also mention that PROBE doesn't guarantee that the pages
will remain valid by the time they are actually used(Tvrtko).
- Add a small comment for the hole finding logic(Jason).
- Move the param next to all the other params which just return true.

Implement a simple static mapping algorithm of the i915 priority levels
(int, -1k to 1k exposed to user) to the 4 GuC levels. Mapping is as
follows:
i915 level < 0 -> GuC low level (3)
i915 level == 0 -> GuC normal level (2)
i915 level < INT_MAX -> GuC high level (1)
i915 level == INT_MAX -> GuC highest level (0)
We believe this mapping should cover the UMD use cases (3 distinct user
levels + 1 kernel level).
In addition to static mapping, a simple counter system is attached to
each context tracking the number of requests inflight on the context at
each level. This is needed as the GuC levels are per context while in
the i915 levels are per request.
v2:
(Daniele)
- Add BUILD_BUG_ON to enforce ordering of priority levels
- Add missing lockdep to guc_prio_fini

This API allows one context to grab bits out of another context upon
creation. It can be used as a short-cut for setparam(getparam()) for
things like I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_VM. However, it's never been used by any
real userspace. It's used by a few IGT tests and that's it. Since it
doesn't add any real value (most of the stuff you can CLONE you can copy
in other ways), drop it.
There is one thing that this API allows you to clone which you cannot
clone via getparam/setparam: timelines. However, timelines are an
implementation detail of i915 and not really something that needs to be
exposed to userspace. Also, sharing timelines between contexts isn't
obviously useful and supporting it has the potential to complicate i915
internally. It also doesn't add any functionality that the client can't
get in other ways. If a client really wants a shared timeline, they can
use a syncobj and set it as an in and out fence on every submit.

This reverts commit 88be76cdaf ("drm/i915: Allow userspace to specify
ringsize on construction"). This API was originally added for OpenCL
but the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year without action so we
can still pull it out if we want. I argue we should drop it for three
reasons:
1. If the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year, this clearly
isn't that important.
2. It's a very leaky API. Ring size is an implementation detail of the
current execlist scheduler and really only makes sense there. It
can't apply to the older ring-buffer scheduler on pre-execlist
hardware because that's shared across all contexts and it won't
apply to the GuC scheduler that's in the pipeline.
3. Having userspace set a ring size in bytes is a bad solution to the
problem of having too small a ring. There is no way that userspace
has the information to know how to properly set the ring size so
it's just going to detect the feature and always set it to the
maximum of 512K. This is what the compute-runtime PR does. The
scheduler in i915, on the other hand, does have the information to
make an informed choice. It could detect if the ring size is a
problem and grow it itself. Or, if that's too hard, we could just
increase the default size from 16K to 32K or even 64K instead of
relying on userspace to do it.
Let's drop this API for now and, if someone decides they really care
about solving this problem, they can do it properly.

Adding any kinds of "last" abi markers is usually a mistake which I
repeated when implementing the PMU because it felt convenient at the time.
This patch marks I915_PMU_LAST as deprecated and stops the internal
implementation using it for sizing the event status bitmask and array.
New way of sizing the fields is a bit less elegant, but it omits reserving
slots for tracking events we are not interested in, and as such saves some
runtime space. Adding sampling events is likely to be a special event and
the new plumbing needed will be easily detected in testing. Existing
asserts against the bitfield and array sizes are keeping the code safe.
First event which gets the new treatment in this new scheme are the
interrupts - which neither needs any tracking in i915 pmu nor needs
waking up the GPU to read it.

On Gen11 powergating half the execution units is a functional
requirement when using the VME samplers. Not fullfilling this
requirement can lead to hangs.
This unfortunately plays fairly poorly with the NOA requirements. NOA
requires a stable power configuration to maintain its configuration.
As a result using OA (and NOA feeding into it) so far has required us
to use a power configuration that can work for all contexts. The only
power configuration fullfilling this is powergating half the execution
units.
This makes performance analysis for 3D workloads somewhat pointless.
Failing to find a solution that would work for everybody, this change
introduces a new i915-perf stream open parameter that punts the
decision off to userspace. If this parameter is omitted, the existing
Gen11 behavior remains (half EU array powergating).

This is really just an alias of mmap_gtt. The 'mmap offset' nomenclature
comes from the value returned by this ioctl which is the offset into the
device fd which userpace uses with mmap(2).
mmap_gtt was our initial mmap_offset implementation, this extends
our CPU mmap support to allow additional fault handlers that depends on
the object's backing pages.
Note that we multiplex mmap_gtt and mmap_offset through the same ioctl,
and use the zero extending behaviour of drm to differentiate between
them, when we inspect the flags.
To support multiple mmap types on an object we need to support multiple
mmap_offsets for an object (each offset in the global device address
space corresponding to a unique instance of the object for a file + mmap
type). As we drop the simplified drm core idea of a single mmap_offset,
we need to provide replacement hooks for the dumb mmap interface as
well.

Our existing behaviour is to allow contexts and their GPU requests to
persist past the point of closure until the requests are complete. This
allows clients to operate in a 'fire-and-forget' manner where they can
setup a rendering pipeline and hand it over to the display server and
immediately exit. As the rendering pipeline is kept alive until
completion, the display server (or other consumer) can use the results
in the future and present them to the user.
The compute model is a little different. They have little to no buffer
sharing between processes as their kernels tend to operate on a
continuous stream, feeding the results back to the client application.
These kernels operate for an indeterminate length of time, with many
clients wishing that the kernel was always running for as long as they
keep feeding in the data, i.e. acting like a DSP.
Not all clients want this persistent "desktop" behaviour and would prefer
that the contexts are cleaned up immediately upon closure. This ensures
that when clients are run without hangchecking (e.g. for compute kernels
of indeterminate runtime), any GPU hang or other unexpected workloads
are terminated with the process and does not continue to hog resources.
The default behaviour for new contexts is the legacy persistence mode,
as some desktop applications are dependent upon the existing behaviour.
New clients will have to opt in to immediate cleanup on context
closure. If the hangchecking modparam is disabled, so is persistent
context support -- all contexts will be terminated on closure.
We expect this behaviour change to be welcomed by compute users, who
have often been caught between a rock and a hard place. They disable
hangchecking to avoid their kernels being "unfairly" declared hung, but
have also experienced true hangs that the system was then unable to
clean up. Naturally, this leads to bug reports.

We would like to make use of perf in Vulkan. The Vulkan API is much
lower level than OpenGL, with applications directly exposed to the
concept of command buffers (pretty much equivalent to our batch
buffers). In Vulkan, queries are always limited in scope to a command
buffer. In OpenGL, the lack of command buffer concept meant that
queries' duration could span multiple command buffers.
With that restriction gone in Vulkan, we would like to simplify
measuring performance just by measuring the deltas between the counter
snapshots written by 2 MI_RECORD_PERF_COUNT commands, rather than the
more complex scheme we currently have in the GL driver, using 2
MI_RECORD_PERF_COUNT commands and doing some post processing on the
stream of OA reports, coming from the global OA buffer, to remove any
unrelated deltas in between the 2 MI_RECORD_PERF_COUNT.
Disabling preemption only apply to a single context with which want to

Engine discovery query allows userspace to enumerate engines, probe their

ID based database.
A new query for the generic i915 query ioctl is added named
DRM_I915_QUERY_ENGINE_INFO, together with accompanying structure
drm_i915_query_engine_info. The address of latter should be passed to the
kernel in the query.data_ptr field, and should be large enough for the
kernel to fill out all known engines as struct drm_i915_engine_info
elements trailing the query.
As with other queries, setting the item query length to zero allows
userspace to query minimum required buffer size.
Enumerated engines have common type mask which can be used to query all
hardware engines, versus engines userspace can submit to using the execbuf
uAPI.
Engines also have capabilities which are per engine class namespace of

waits for the completion of the first request (so that all of its
rendering results are visible to the second execbuf, the more common
userspace fence requirement).
Since we only have a single input fence slot, userspace cannot mix an
in-fence and a submit-fence. It has to use one or the other! This is not
such a harsh requirement, since by virtue of the submit-fence, the
secondary execbuf inherit all of the dependencies from the first
request, and for the application the dependencies should be common
between the primary and secondary execbuf.

Some users require that when a master batch is executed on one particular
engine, a companion batch is run simultaneously on a specific slave
engine. For this purpose, we introduce virtual engine bonding, allowing
maps of master:slaves to be constructed to constrain which physical
engines a virtual engine may select given a fence on a master engine.
For the moment, we continue to ignore the issue of preemption deferring
the master request for later. Ideally, we would like to then also remove
the slave and run something else rather than have it stall the pipeline.
With load balancing, we should be able to move workload around it, but
there is a similar stall on the master pipeline while it may wait for
the slave to be executed. At the cost of more latency for the bonded
request, it may be interesting to launch both on their engines in
lockstep. (Bubbles abound.)
Opens: Also what about bonding an engine as its own master? It doesn't
break anything internally, so allow the silliness.
v2: Emancipate the bonds
v3: Couple in delayed scheduling for the selftests
v4: Handle invalid mutually exclusive bonding
v5: Mention what the uapi does

Having allowed the user to define a set of engines that they will want
to only use, we go one step further and allow them to bind those engines
into a single virtual instance. Submitting a batch to the virtual engine
will then forward it to any one of the set in a manner as best to
distribute load. The virtual engine has a single timeline across all
engines (it operates as a single queue), so it is not able to concurrently
run batches across multiple engines by itself; that is left up to the user
to submit multiple concurrent batches to multiple queues. Multiple users
will be load balanced across the system.
The mechanism used for load balancing in this patch is a late greedy
balancer. When a request is ready for execution, it is added to each
engine's queue, and when an engine is ready for its next request it
claims it from the virtual engine. The first engine to do so, wins, i.e.
the request is executed at the earliest opportunity (idle moment) in the
system.
As not all HW is created equal, the user is still able to skip the
virtual engine and execute the batch on a specific engine, all within the
same queue. It will then be executed in order on the correct engine,
with execution on other virtual engines being moved away due to the load
detection.
A couple of areas for potential improvement left!
- The virtual engine always take priority over equal-priority tasks.
Mostly broken up by applying FQ_CODEL rules for prioritising new clients,
and hopefully the virtual and real engines are not then congested (i.e.
all work is via virtual engines, or all work is to the real engine).
- We require the breadcrumb irq around every virtual engine request. For
normal engines, we eliminate the need for the slow round trip via
interrupt by using the submit fence and queueing in order. For virtual
engines, we have to allow any job to transfer to a new ring, and cannot
coalesce the submissions, so require the completion fence instead,
forcing the persistent use of interrupts.
- We only drip feed single requests through each virtual engine and onto
the physical engines, even if there was enough work to fill all ELSP,
leaving small stalls with an idle CS event at the end of every request.
Could we be greedy and fill both slots? Being lazy is virtuous for load
distribution on less-than-full workloads though.
Other areas of improvement are more general, such as reducing lock
contention, reducing dispatch overhead, looking at direct submission
rather than bouncing around tasklets etc.
sseu: Lift the restriction to allow sseu to be reconfigured on virtual
engines composed of RENDER_CLASS (rcs).
v2: macroize check_user_mbz()
v3: Cancel virtual engines on wedging
v4: Commence commenting
v5: Replace 64b sibling_mask with a list of class:instance
v6: Drop the one-element array in the uabi
v7: Assert it is an virtual engine in to_virtual_engine()
v8: Skip over holes in [class][inst] so we can selftest with (vcs0, vcs2)

A usecase arose out of handling context recovery in mesa, whereby they
wish to recreate a context with fresh logical state but preserving all
other details of the original. Currently, they create a new context and
iterate over which bits they want to copy across, but it would much more
convenient if they were able to just pass in a target context to clone
during creation. This essentially extends the setparam during creation
to pull the details from a target context instead of the user supplied
parameters.
The ideal here is that we don't expose control over anything more than
can be obtained via CONTEXT_PARAM. That is userspace retains explicit
control over all features, and this api is just convenience.
For example, you could replace
struct context_param p = { .param = CONTEXT_PARAM_VM };
param.ctx_id = old_id;
gem_context_get_param(&p.param);
new_id = gem_context_create();
param.ctx_id = new_id;
gem_context_set_param(&p.param);
gem_vm_destroy(param.value); /* drop the ref to VM_ID handle */
with
struct create_ext_param p = {
{ .name = CONTEXT_CREATE_CLONE },
.clone_id = old_id,
.flags = CLONE_FLAGS_VM
}
new_id = gem_context_create_ext(&p);
and not have to worry about stray namespace pollution etc.

Allow the user to specify a local engine index (as opposed to
class:index) that they can use to refer to a preset engine inside the
ctx->engine[] array defined by an earlier I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES.
This will be useful for setting SSEU parameters on virtual engines that
are local to the context and do not have a valid global class:instance
lookup.
Note that due to the ambiguity in using class:instance with
ctx->engines[], if a user supplied engine map is active the user must
specify the engine to alter by its index into the ctx->engines[].

Over the last few years, we have debated how to extend the user API to
support an increase in the number of engines, that may be sparse and
even be heterogeneous within a class (not all video decoders created
equal). We settled on using (class, instance) tuples to identify a
specific engine, with an API for the user to construct a map of engines
to capabilities. Into this picture, we then add a challenge of virtual
engines; one user engine that maps behind the scenes to any number of
physical engines. To keep it general, we want the user to have full
control over that mapping. To that end, we allow the user to constrain a
context to define the set of engines that it can access, order fully
controlled by the user via (class, instance). With such precise control
in context setup, we can continue to use the existing execbuf uABI of
specifying a single index; only now it doesn't automagically map onto
the engines, it uses the user defined engine map from the context.
v2: Fixup freeing of local on success of get_engines()
v3: Allow empty engines[]
v4: s/nengine/num_engines/
v5: Replace 64 limit on num_engines with a note that execbuf is
currently limited to only using the first 64 engines.
v6: Actually use the engines_mutex to guard the ctx->engines.
