drm/i915: Add a relay backed debugfs interface for capturing GuC logs
Added a new debugfs interface '/sys/kernel/debug/dri/guc_log' for the User to capture GuC firmware logs. Availed relay framework to implement the interface, where Driver will have to just use a relay API to store snapshots of the GuC log buffer in the buffer managed by relay. The snapshot will be taken when GuC firmware sends a log buffer flush interrupt and up to four snapshots could be stored in the relay buffer. The relay buffer will be operated in a mode where it will overwrite the data not yet collected by User. Besides mmap method, through which User can directly access the relay buffer contents, relay also supports the 'poll' method. Through the 'poll' call on log file, User can come to know whenever a new snapshot of the log buffer is taken by Driver, so can run in tandem with the Driver and capture the logs in a sustained/streaming manner, without any loss of data. v2: Defer the creation of relay channel & associated debugfs file, as debugfs setup is now done at the end of i915 Driver load. (Chris) v3: - Switch to no-overwrite mode for relay. - Fix the relay sub buffer switching sequence. v4: - Update i915 Kconfig to select RELAY config. (TvrtKo) - Log a message when there is no sub buffer available to capture the GuC log buffer. (Tvrtko) - Increase the number of relay sub buffers to 8 from 4, to have sufficient buffering for boot time logs v5: - Fix the alignment, indentation issues and some minor cleanup. (Tvrtko) - Update the comment to elaborate on why a relay channel has to be associated with the debugfs file. (Tvrtko) v6: - Move the write to 'is_global' after the NULL check on parent directory dentry pointer. (Tvrtko) v7: Add a BUG_ON to validate relay buffer allocation size.
