When under severe stress for GTT mappable space, the LRU eviction model
falls off a cliff. We spend all our time scanning the much larger
non-mappable area searching for something within the mappable zone we can
evict. Turn this on its head by only using the full vma for the object if
it is already pinned in the mappable zone or there is sufficient *free*
space to accommodate it (prioritizing speedy reuse). If there is not,
immediately fall back to using small chunks (tilerow for GTT mmap, single
pages for pwrite/relocation) and using random eviction before doing a full
search.

Replace mixed "_fini"/"_cleanup"/"_cleanup_hw" suffixes found in names
of functions called from i915_driver_release() with "_release" suffix
consistently. This provides better code readability, especially
helpful when trying to work out which phase the code is in.
Functions names starting with "i915_driver_", i.e., those defined in
drivers/gpu/dri/i915/i915_drv.c, just have their "cleanup" or "fini"
parts of their names replaced with the "_release" suffix, while names
of functions coming from other source files have been suffixed with
"_driver_release" to avoid ambiguity with other possible .release entry
points.

Instead of relying on the caller holding struct_mutex across the
allocation, push the allocation under a tree of spinlocks stored inside
the page tables. Not only should this allow us to avoid struct_mutex
here, but it will allow multiple users to lock independent ranges for
concurrent allocations, and operate independently. This is vital for
pushing the GTT manipulation into a background thread where dependency
on struct_mutex is verboten, and for allowing other callers to avoid
struct_mutex altogether.

It was noted that we made the same mistake for VM_ID as for object
handles, whereby we ensured that we only allocated a single handle for
one ppgtt. This has the unfortunate consequence for userspace that they
need to reference count the handles to avoid destroying an active ID. If
we allow multiple handles to the same ppgtt, userspace can freely
unreference any handle they own without fear of destroying the same
handle in use elsewhere.

GuC and HuC depend on struct_mutex for device reinitialization. Moving
away from this dependency requires perma-pinning the firmware images in
GGTT. The upper portion of the GuC address space has a sizeable hole
(several MB) that is inaccessible by GuC. Reserve this range within GGTT
as it can comfortably hold GuC/HuC firmware images.

In the next patch, we are introducing a broad virtual engine to encompass
multiple physical engines, losing the 1:1 nature of BIT(engine->id). To
reflect the broader set of engines implied by the virtual instance, lets
store the full bitmask.
v2: Use intel_engine_mask_t (s/ring_mask/engine_mask/)
v3: Tvrtko voted for moah churn so teach everyone to not mention ring
and use $class$instance throughout.
v4: Comment upon the disparity in bspec for using VCS1,VCS2 in gen8 and
VCS[0-4] in later gen. We opt to keep the code consistent and use
0-index naming throughout.

Previously we only accommodated having a vma pinned by a small number of
users, with the maximum being pinned for use by the display engine. As
such, we used a small bitfield only large enough to allow the vma to
be pinned twice (for back/front buffers) in each scanout plane. Keeping
the maximum permissible pin_count small allows us to quickly catch a
potential leak. However, as we want to split a 4096B page into 64
different cachelines and pin each cacheline for use by a different
timeline, we will exceed the current maximum permissible vma->pin_count
and so time has come to enlarge it.
Whilst we are here, try to pull together the similar bits:
Address/layout specification:
- bias, mappable, zone_4g: address limit specifiers
- fixed: address override, limits still apply though
- high: not strictly an address limit, but an address direction to search
Search controls:
- nonblock, nonfault, noevict
v2: Rewrite the guideline comment on bit consumption.

Our goal is to remove struct_mutex and replace it with fine grained
locking. One of the thorny issues is our eviction logic for reclaiming
space for an execbuffer (or GTT mmaping, among a few other examples).
While eviction itself is easy to move under a per-VM mutex, performing
the activity tracking is less agreeable. One solution is not to do any
MRU tracking and do a simple coarse evaluation during eviction of
active/inactive, with a loose temporal ordering of last
insertion/evaluation. That keeps all the locking constrained to when we
are manipulating the VM itself, neatly avoiding the tricky handling of
possible recursive locking during execbuf and elsewhere.
Note that discarding the MRU (currently implemented as a pair of lists,
to avoid scanning the active list for a NONBLOCKING search) is unlikely
to impact upon our efficiency to reclaim VM space (where we think a LRU
model is best) as our current strategy is to use random idle replacement
first before doing a search, and over time the use of softpinned 48b
per-ppGTT is growing (thereby eliminating any need to perform any eviction
searches, in theory at least) with the remaining users being found on
much older devices (gen2-gen6).
v2: Changelog and commentary rewritten to elaborate on the duality of a
single list being both an inactive and active list.
v3: Consolidate bool parameters into a single set of flags; don't
comment on the duality of a single variable being a multiplicity of
bits.

Now that the submission backends are controlled via their own spinlocks,
with a wave of a magic wand we can lift the struct_mutex requirement
around GPU reset. That is we allow the submission frontend (userspace)
to keep on submitting while we process the GPU reset as we can suspend
the backend independently.
The major change is around the backoff/handoff strategy for performing
the reset. With no mutex deadlock, we no longer have to coordinate with
any waiter, and just perform the reset immediately.

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.
