Currently the KMD is using enum i915_cache_level to set caching policy for
buffer objects. This is flaky because the PAT index which really controls
the caching behavior in PTE has far more levels than what's defined in the
enum. In addition, the PAT index is platform dependent, having to translate
between i915_cache_level and PAT index is not reliable, and makes the code
more complicated.
From UMD's perspective there is also a necessity to set caching policy for
performance fine tuning. It's much easier for the UMD to directly use PAT
index because the behavior of each PAT index is clearly defined in Bspec.
Having the abstracted i915_cache_level sitting in between would only cause
more ambiguity. PAT is expected to work much like MOCS already works today,
and by design userspace is expected to select the index that exactly
matches the desired behavior described in the hardware specification.
For these reasons this patch replaces i915_cache_level with PAT index. Also
note, the cache_level is not completely removed yet, because the KMD still
has the need of creating buffer objects with simple cache settings such as
cached, uncached, or writethrough. For kernel objects, cache_level is used
for simplicity and backward compatibility. For Pre-gen12 platforms PAT can
have 1:1 mapping to i915_cache_level, so these two are interchangeable. see
the use of LEGACY_CACHELEVEL.
One consequence of this change is that gen8_pte_encode is no longer working
for gen12 platforms due to the fact that gen12 platforms has different PAT
definitions. In the meantime the mtl_pte_encode introduced specfically for
MTL becomes generic for all gen12 platforms. This patch renames the MTL
PTE encode function into gen12_pte_encode and apply it to all gen12. Even
though this change looks unrelated, but separating them would temporarily
break gen12 PTE encoding, thus squash them in one patch.
Special note: this patch changes the way caching behavior is controlled in
the sense that some objects are left to be managed by userspace. For such
objects we need to be careful not to change the userspace settings.There
are kerneldoc and comments added around obj->cache_coherent, cache_dirty,
and how to bypass the checkings by i915_gem_object_has_cache_level. For
full understanding, these changes need to be looked at together with the
two follow-up patches, one disables the {set|get}_caching ioctl's and the
other adds set_pat extension to the GEM_CREATE uAPI.

When introducing asynchronous unbinding, the vma itself may no longer
be alive when the actual binding or unbinding takes place.
Update the gtt i915_vma_ops accordingly to take a struct i915_vma_resource
instead of a struct i915_vma for the bind_vma() and unbind_vma() ops.
Similarly change the insert_entries() op for struct i915_address_space.
Replace a couple of i915_vma_snapshot members with their newly introduced
i915_vma_resource counterparts, since they have the same lifetime.
Also make sure to avoid changing the struct i915_vma_flags (in particular
the bind flags) async. That should now only be done sync under the
vm mutex.

- Update the vma_res::bound_flags when binding to the aliased ggtt

Big delta, but boils down to moving set_pages to i915_vma.c, and removing
the special handling, all callers use the defaults anyway. We only remap
in ggtt, so default case will fall through.
Because we still don't require locking in i915_vma_unpin(), handle this by
using xchg in get_pages(), as it's locked with obj->mutex, and cmpxchg in
unpin, which only fails if we race a against a new pin.
Changes since v1:
- aliasing gtt sets ZERO_SIZE_PTR, not -ENODEV, remove special case
from __i915_vma_get_pages(). (Matt)
Changes since v2:
- Free correct old pages in __i915_vma_get_pages(). (Matt)
Remove race of clearing vma->pages accidentally from put,
free it but leave it set, as only get has the lock.

On some platforms the hw has dropped support for 4K GTT pages when
dealing with LMEM, and due to the design of 64K GTT pages in the hw, we
can only mark the *entire* page-table as operating in 64K GTT mode,
since the enable bit is still on the pde, and not the pte. And since we
we still need to allow 4K GTT pages for SMEM objects, we can't have a
"normal" 4K page-table with scratch pointing to LMEM, since that's
undefined from the hw pov. The simplest solution is to just move the 64K
scratch page to SMEM on such platforms and call it a day, since that
should work for all configurations.

It was added in 2bfa996e03 ("drm/i915: Store owning file on the

the difference between the global GTT and a PPGTT. In f6e8aa3871

The GEM object is grossly overweight for the practicality of tracking
large numbers of individual pages, yet it is currently our only
abstraction for tracking DMA allocations. Since those allocations need
to be reserved upfront before an operation, and that we need to break
away from simple system memory, we need to ditch using plain struct page
wrappers.
In the process, we drop the WC mapping as we ended up clflushing
everything anyway due to various issues across a wider range of
platforms. Though in a future step, we need to drop the kmap_atomic
approach which suggests we need to pre-map all the pages and keep them
mapped.
v2: Verify our large scratch page is suitably DMA aligned; and manually
clear the scratch since we are allocating plain struct pages full of
prior content.

We need to make the DMA allocations used for page directories to be
performed up front so that we can include those allocations in our
memory reservation pass. The downside is that we have to assume the
worst case, even before we know the final layout, and always allocate
enough page directories for this object, even when there will be overlap.
This unfortunately can be quite expensive, especially as we have to
clear/reset the page directories and DMA pages, but it should only be
required during early phases of a workload when new objects are being
discovered, or after memory/eviction pressure when we need to rebind.
Once we reach steady state, the objects should not be moved and we no
longer need to preallocating the pages tables.
It should be noted that the lifetime for the page directories DMA is
more or less decoupled from individual fences as they will be shared
across objects across timelines.
v2: Only allocate enough PD space for the PTE we may use, we do not need
to allocate PD that will be left as scratch.
v3: Store the shift unto the first PD level to encapsulate the different
PTE counts for gen6/gen8.

Some tests (e.g. igt_vma_pin1) presume that we have a completely clean
GGTT so that it can probe boundaries without fear that something is
already allocated there. However, the mock device is starting to get
complicated and following similar rules to the live device, i.e. we
can't guarantee that i915->ggtt remains clean, so create a temporary
address_space equivalent to the mock ggtt for the purpose.

So far we have been relying on vm->file pointer being NULL to declare
something GGTT.
This has the unfortunate consequence that the default kernel context is
also declared GGTT and interferes with the following patch which wants to
instantiate VMA's and execute requests against the kernel context.
Change the is_ggtt test to use an explicit flag in struct address_space to
solve this issue.
Note that the bit used is free since there is an alignment hole in the
struct.

Currently, the wc-stash used for providing flushed WC pages ready for
constructing the page directories is assumed to be protected by the
struct_mutex. However, we want to remove this global lock and so must
install a replacement global lock for accessing the global wc-stash (the
per-vm stash continues to be guarded by the vm).
We need to push ahead on this patch due to an oversight in hastily
removing the struct_mutex guard around the igt_ppgtt_alloc selftest. No
matter, it will prove very useful (i.e. will be required) in the near
future.
v2: Restore the onstack stash so that we can drop the vm->mutex in
future across the allocation.
v3: Restore the lost pagevec_init of the onstack allocation, and repaint
function names.
v4: Reorder init so that we don't try and use i915_address_space before
it is ininitialised.

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).
