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
across a combination of engines. This means that preallocating a fence
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
of tracking the timeline alongside the ring.
v2: Tweak wait_for_idle to stop the compiling thinking that ret may be

Using plain jiffies in error state output makes the output
time differences relative to the current system time. This
is wrong as it makes output time differences dependent
of when the error state is printed rather than when it is
captured.
Store capture jiffies into error state and use it
when outputting the state to fix time differences output.

Since unbannable contexts are special and supposed not to be causing GPU
hangs in the first place, make it clear when they are implicated in said
hang. In practice, most unbannable contexts are those created by igt
for the express purpose of throwing untold thousands of hangs at the GPU
and wish to keep doing so to finish the test. Normally they are cleaned
up, but it's when they or the other unbannable kernel contexts stay
stuck in an erroneous state that we need to worry and so need
highlighting.

Since removing the module parameter to force selection of ringbuffer
emission for gen8, the code is defunct. Remove it.
To put the difference into perspective, a couple of microbenchmarks
(bdw i7-5557u, 20170324):
ring execlists
exec continuous nops on all rings: 1.491us 2.223us
exec sequential nops on each ring: 12.508us 53.682us
single nop + sync: 9.272us 30.291us
vblank_mode=0 glxgears: ~11000fps ~9000fps
Since the earlier submission, gen8 ringbuffer submission has fallen
further and further behind in features. So while ringbuffer may hold the
throughput crown, in terms of interactive latency, execlists is much
better. Alas, we have no convenient metrics for such, other than
demonstrating things we can do with execlists but can not using
legacy ringbuffer submission.
We have made a few improvements to lowlevel execlists throughput,
and ringbuffer currently panics on boot! (bdw i7-5557u, 20171026):
ring execlists
exec continuous nops on all rings: n/a 1.921us
exec sequential nops on each ring: n/a 44.621us
single nop + sync: n/a 21.953us

combined into a singe one and the engine id stored in bits 14:12.
Not only we should not been reading (and writing to) registers that do
not exist, in platforms with VCS2 (SKL), the address that would belong

With preemption, we will want to "unsubmit" a request, taking it back
from the hw and returning it to the priority sorted execution list. In
order to know where to insert it into that list, we need to remember
its adjust priority (which may change even as it was being executed).
This also affects reset for execlists as we are now unsubmitting the
requests following the reset (rather than directly writing the ELSP for
the inflight contexts). This turns reset into an accidental preemption
point, as after the reset we may choose a different pair of contexts to
submit to hw.
GuC is not updated as this series doesn't add preemption to the GuC
submission, and so it can keep benefiting from the early pruning of the
DFS inside execlists_schedule() for a little longer. We also need to
find a way of reducing the cost of that DFS...

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

Once upon a time before we had automated GPU state capture upon hangs,
we had intel_gpu_dump. Now we come almost full circle and reinstate that
view of the current GPU queues and registers by using the error capture
facility to snapshot the GPU state when debugfs/.../i915_gpu_info is
opened - which should provided useful debugging to both the error
capture routines (without having to cause a hang and avoid the error
state being eaten by igt) and generally.
