To continue the onslaught of removing the assumption of a global
execution ordering, another casualty is the engine->timeline. Without an
actual timeline to track, it is overkill and we can replace it with a
much less grand plain list. We still need a list of requests inflight,
for the simple purpose of finding inflight requests (for retiring,
resetting, preemption etc).

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

Engine discovery query allows userspace to enumerate engines, probe their
configuration features, all without needing to maintain the internal PCI
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
bits describing features not present on all engine instances.

We switched to a tree of per-engine HW context to accommodate the
introduction of virtual engines. However, we plan to also support
multiple instances of the same engine within the GEM context, defeating
our use of the engine as a key to looking up the HW context. Just
allocate a logical per-engine instance and always use an index into the
ctx->engines[]. Later on, this ctx->engines[] may be replaced by a user
specified map.

Broadwater and the rest of gen4 do support being able to saving and
reloading context specific registers between contexts, providing isolation
of the basic GPU state (as programmable by userspace). This allows
userspace to assume that the GPU retains their state from one batch to the
next, minimising the amount of state it needs to reload and manually save
across batches.
v2: CONSTANT_BUFFER woes
Running through piglit turned up an interesting issue, a GPU hang inside
the context load. The context image includes the CONSTANT_BUFFER command
that loads an address into a on-gpu buffer, and the context load was
executing that immediately. However, since it was reading from the GTT
there is no guarantee that the GTT retains the same configuration as
when the context was saved, resulting in stray reads and a GPU hang.
Having tried issuing a CONSTANT_BUFFER (to disable the command) from the
ring before saving the context to no avail, we resort to patching out
the instruction inside the context image before loading.
This does impose that gen4 always reissues CONSTANT_BUFFER commands on
each batch, but due to the use of a shared GTT that was and will remain
a requirement.
v3: ECOSKPD to the rescue
Ville found the magic bit in the ECOSKPD to disable saving and restoring
the CONSTANT_BUFFER from the context image, thereby completely avoiding
the GPU hangs from chasing invalid pointers. This appears to be the
default behaviour for gen5, and so we just need to tweak gen4 to match.
v4: Fix spelling of ECOSKPD and discover it already exists

In the current scheme, on submitting a request we take a single global
GEM wakeref, which trickles down to wake up all GT power domains. This
is undesirable as we would like to be able to localise our power
management to the available power domains and to remove the global GEM
operations from the heart of the driver. (The intent there is to push
global GEM decisions to the boundary as used by the GEM user interface.)
Now during request construction, each request is responsible via its
logical context to acquire a wakeref on each power domain it intends to
utilize. Currently, each request takes a wakeref on the engine(s) and
the engines themselves take a chipset wakeref. This gives us a
transition on each engine which we can extend if we want to insert more
powermangement control (such as soft rc6). The global GEM operations
that currently require a struct_mutex are reduced to listening to pm
events from the chipset GT wakeref. As we reduce the struct_mutex
requirement, these listeners should evaporate.
Perhaps the biggest immediate change is that this removes the
struct_mutex requirement around GT power management, allowing us greater
flexibility in request construction. Another important knock-on effect,
is that by tracking engine usage, we can insert a switch back to the
kernel context on that engine immediately, avoiding any extra delay or
inserting global synchronisation barriers. This makes tracking when an
engine and its associated contexts are idle much easier -- important for
when we forgo our assumed execution ordering and need idle barriers to
unpin used contexts. In the process, it means we remove a large chunk of
code whose only purpose was to switch back to the kernel context.
