When userspace is passing around swapbuffers using DRI, we frequently
have to open and close the same object in the foreign address space.
This shows itself as the same object being rebound at roughly 30fps
(with a second object also being rebound at 30fps), which involves us
having to rewrite the page tables and maintain the drm_mm range manager
every time.
However, since the object still exists and it is only the local handle
that disappears, if we are lazy and do not unbind the VMA immediately
when the local user closes the object but defer it until the GPU is
idle, then we can reuse the same VMA binding. We still have to be
careful to mark the handle and lookup tables as closed to maintain the
uABI, just allowing the underlying VMA to be resurrected if the user is
able to access the same object from the same context again.
If the object itself is destroyed (neither userspace keeping a handle to
it), the VMA will be reaped immediately as usual.
In the future, this will be even more useful as instantiating a new VMA
for use on the GPU will become heavier. A nuisance indeed, so nip it in
the bud.
v2: s/__i915_vma_final_close/i915_vma_destroy/ etc.
v3: Leave a hint as to why we deferred the unbind on close.

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
uninitialised.

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).

In the next patch, rings are the central timeline as requests may jump
between engines. Therefore in the future as we retire in order along the
engine timeline, we may retire out-of-order within a ring (as the ring now
occurs along multiple engines), leading to much hilarity in miscomputing
the position of ring->head.
As an added bonus, retiring along the ring reduces the penalty of having
one execlists client do cleanup for another (old legacy submission
shares a ring between all clients). The downside is that slow and
irregular (off the critical path) process of cleaning up stale requests
after userspace becomes a modicum less efficient.
In the long run, it will become apparent that the ordered
ring->request_list matches the ring->timeline, a fun challenge for the
future will be unifying the two lists to avoid duplication!
v2: We need both engine-order and ring-order processing to maintain our
knowledge of where individual rings have completed upto as well as
knowing what was last executing on any engine. And finally by decoupling
retiring the contexts on the engine and the timelines along the rings,
we do have to keep a reference to the context on each request
(previously it was guaranteed by the context being pinned).
v3: Not just a reference to the context, but we need to keep it pinned
as we manipulate the rings; i.e. we need a pin for both the manipulation
of the engine state during its retirements, and a separate pin for the
manipulation of the ring state.

An earlier bugfix tried to work around this build failure:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_gem_device.c: In function 'mock_gem_device':
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/selftests/mock_gem_device.c:151:20: error: 'struct dev_archdata' has no member named 'iommu'
Checking for CONFIG_IOMMU_API is not sufficient as a compile-time
test since that may be enabled in configurations that have neither
INTEL_IOMMU not AMD_IOMMU enabled. This changes the check to
INTEL_IOMMU instead, as this is the only case we actually care about.

In the original selftest, we didn't care what the engine->id was, just
that it could uniquely identify it. Later though, we started tracking
the mock engines in the fixed size arrays around the drm_i915_private and
so we now require their indices to be correct. This becomes an issue when
using the standalone harness which runs all available tests at module load,
and so we quickly assign an out-of-bounds index to an engine as we
reallocate the mock GEM device between tests. It doesn't show up in
igt/drv_selftest as that runs each subtest individually.

The i915_priolist are allocated within an atomic context on a path where
we wish to minimise latency. If we use a dedicated kmem_cache, we have
the advantage of a local freelist from which to service new requests
that should keep the latency impact of an allocation small. Though
currently we expect the majority of requests to be at default priority
(and so hit the preallocate priolist), once userspace starts using
priorities they are likely to use many fine grained policies improving
the utilisation of a private slab.
