    drm/i915: Use batch pools with the command parser · 78a42377
    Brad Volkin authored
    This patch sets up all of the tracking and copying necessary to
    use batch pools with the command parser and dispatches the copied
    (shadow) batch to the hardware.
    
    After this patch, the parser is in 'enabling' mode.
    
    Note that performance takes a hit from the copy in some cases
    and will likely need some work. At a rough pass, the memcpy
    appears to be the bottleneck. Without having done a deeper
    analysis, two ideas that come to mind are:
    1) Copy sections of the batch at a time, as they are reached
       by parsing. Might improve cache locality.
    2) Copy only up to the userspace-supplied batch length and
       memset the rest of the buffer. Reduces the number of reads.
    
    v2:
    - Remove setting the capacity of the pool
    - One global pool instead of per-ring pools
    - Replace batch_obj with shadow_batch_obj and hook into eb->vmas
    - Memset any space in the shadow batch beyond what gets copied
    - Rebased on execlist prep refactoring
    
    v3:
    - Rebase on chained batch handling
    - Squash in setting the secure dispatch flag
    - Add a note about the interaction w/secure dispatch pinning
    - Check for request->batch_obj == NULL in i915_gem_free_request
    
    v4:
    - Fix read domains for shadow_batch_obj
    - Remove the set_to_gtt_domain call from i915_parse_cmds
    - ggtt_pin/unpin in the parser block to simplify error handling
    - Check USES_FULL_PPGTT before setting DISPATCH_SECURE flag
    - Remove i915_gem_batch_pool_put calls
    
    v5:
    - Move 'pending_read_domains |= I915_GEM_DOMAIN_COMMAND' after
      the parser (danvet, from v4 0/7 feedback)
