      drm/i915/perf: remove perf.hook_lock · 1bef3409
      Robert Bragg authored
      In earlier iterations of the i915-perf driver we had a number of
      callbacks/hooks from other parts of the i915 driver to e.g. notify us
      when a legacy context was pinned and these could run asynchronously with
      respect to the stream file operations and might also run in atomic
      context.
      
      dev_priv->perf.hook_lock had been for serialising access to state needed
      within these callbacks, but as the code has evolved some of the hooks
      have gone away or are implemented to avoid needing to lock any state.
      
      The remaining use of this lock was actually redundant considering how
      the gen7 oacontrol state used to be updated as part of a context pin
      hook.

      drm/i915/perf: per-gen timebase for checking sample freq · 155e941f
      Robert Bragg authored
      An oa_exponent_to_ns() utility and per-gen timebase constants where
      recently removed when updating the tail pointer race condition WA, and
      this restores those so we can update the _PROP_OA_EXPONENT validation
      done in read_properties_unlocked() to not assume we have a 12.5MHz
      timebase as we did for Haswell.
      
      Accordingly the oa_sample_rate_hard_limit value that's referenced by
      proc_dointvec_minmax defining the absolute limit for the OA sampling
      frequency is now initialized to (timestamp_frequency / 2) instead of the
      6.25MHz constant for Haswell.
      
      v2:
          Specify frequency of 19.2MHz for BXT (Ville)
          Initialize oa_sample_rate_hard_limit per-gen too (Lionel)

      drm/i915/perf: Add OA unit support for Gen 8+ · 19f81df2
      Robert Bragg authored
      Enables access to OA unit metrics for BDW, CHV, SKL and BXT which all
      share (more-or-less) the same OA unit design.
      
      Of particular note in comparison to Haswell: some OA unit HW config
      state has become per-context state and as a consequence it is somewhat
      more complicated to manage synchronous state changes from the cpu while
      there's no guarantee of what context (if any) is currently actively
      running on the gpu.
      
      The periodic sampling frequency which can be particularly useful for
      system-wide analysis (as opposed to command stream synchronised
      MI_REPORT_PERF_COUNT commands) is perhaps the most surprising state to
      have become per-context save and restored (while the OABUFFER
      destination is still a shared, system-wide resource).
      
      This support for gen8+ takes care to consider a number of timing
      challenges involved in synchronously updating per-context state
      primarily by programming all config state from the cpu and updating all
      current and saved contexts synchronously while the OA unit is still
      disabled.
      
      The driver intentionally avoids depending on command streamer
      programming to update OA state considering the lack of synchronization
      between the automatic loading of OACTXCONTROL state (that includes the
      periodic sampling state and enable state) on context restore and the
      parsing of any general purpose BB the driver can control. I.e. this
      implementation is careful to avoid the possibility of a context restore
      temporarily enabling any out-of-date periodic sampling state. In
      addition to the risk of transiently-out-of-date state being loaded
      automatically; there are also internal HW latencies involved in the
      loading of MUX configurations which would be difficult to account for
      from the command streamer (and we only want to enable the unit when once
      the MUX configuration is complete).
      
      Since the Gen8+ OA unit design no longer supports clock gating the unit
      off for a single given context (which effectively stopped any progress
      of counters while any other context was running) and instead supports
      tagging OA reports with a context ID for filtering on the CPU, it means
      we can no longer hide the system-wide progress of counters from a
      non-privileged application only interested in metrics for its own
      context. Although we could theoretically try and subtract the progress
      of other contexts before forwarding reports via read() we aren't in a
      position to filter reports captured via MI_REPORT_PERF_COUNT commands.
      As a result, for Gen8+, we always require the
      dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid to be unset for any access to OA metrics
      if not root.
      
      v5: Drain submitted requests when enabling metric set to ensure no
          lite-restore erases the context image we just updated (Lionel)
      
      v6: In addition to drain, switch to kernel context & update all
          context in place (Chris)
      
      v7: Add missing mutex_unlock() if switching to kernel context fails
          (Matthew)
      
      v8: Simplify OA period/flex-eu-counters programming by using the
          batchbuffer instead of modifying ctx-image (Lionel)
      
      v9: Back to updating the context image (due to erroneous testing,
          batchbuffer programming the OA unit doesn't actually work)
          (Lionel)
          Pin context before updating context image (Chris)
          Drop MMIO programming now that we switch to a kernel context with
          right values in initial context image (Chris)
      
      v10: Just pin_map the contexts we want to modify or let the
           configuration happen on first use (Chris)
      
      v11: Update kernel context OA config through the batchbuffer rather
           than on the fly ctx-image update (Lionel)
      
      v12: Rework OA context registers update again by swithing away from
           user contexts and reconfiguring the kernel context through the
           batchbuffer and updating all the other contexts' context image.
           Also take care to lock slice/subslice configuration when OA is
           on. (Lionel)
      
      v13: Request rpcs updates on all engine when updating the OA config
           (Lionel)
      
      v14: Drop any kind of rpcs management now that we monitor sseu
           configuration changes in a later patch (Lionel)
           Remove usleep after programming the NOA configs on Gen8+, this
           doesn't seem to be needed (Lionel)

      I removed the zapping of the reservation_object->fence array of shared

      drm/i915: Spin for struct_mutex inside shrinker · 290271de
      Chris Wilson authored
      Having resolved whether or not we would deadlock upon a call to
      mutex_lock(&dev->struct_mutex), we can then spin for the contended
      struct_mutex if we are not the owner. We cannot afford to simply block
      and wait for the mutex, as the owner may itself be waiting for the
      allocator -- i.e. a cyclic deadlock. This should significantly improve
      the chance of running the shrinker for other processes whilst the GPU is
      busy.
      
      A more balanced approach would be to optimistically spin whilst the
      mutex owner was on the cpu and there was an opportunity to acquire the
      mutex for ourselves quickly. However, that requires support from
      kernel/locking/ and a new mutex_spin_trylock() primitive.

      drm/i915: Remove __GFP_NORETRY from our buffer allocator · eaf41801
      Chris Wilson authored
      I tried __GFP_NORETRY in the belief that __GFP_RECLAIM was effective. It
      struggles with handling reclaim of our dirty buffers and relies on
      reclaim via kswapd. As a result, a single pass of direct reclaim is
      unreliable when i915 occupies the majority of available memory, and the
      only means of effectively waiting on kswapd to amke progress is by not
      setting the __GFP_NORETRY flag and lopping. That leaves us with the
      dilemma of invoking the oomkiller instead of propagating the allocation
      failure back to userspace where it can be handled more gracefully (one
      hopes).  In the future we may have __GFP_MAYFAIL to allow repeats up until
      we genuinely run out of memory and the oomkiller would have been invoked.
      Until then, let the oomkiller wreck havoc.
      
      v2: Stop playing with side-effects of gfp flags and await __GFP_MAYFAIL
      v3: Update comments that direct reclaim only appears to be ignoring our
      dirty buffers!

      drm/i915: Encourage our shrinker more when our shmemfs allocations fails · 4846bf0c
      Chris Wilson authored
      Commit 24f8e00a ("drm/i915: Prefer to report ENOMEM rather than
      incur the oom for gfx allocations") made the bold decision to try and
      avoid the oomkiller by reporting -ENOMEM to userspace if our allocation
      failed after attempting to free enough buffer objects. In short, it
      appears we were giving up too easily (even before we start wondering if
      one pass of reclaim is as strong as we would like). Part of the problem
      is that if we only shrink just enough pages for our expected allocation,
      the likelihood of those pages becoming available to us is less than 100%
      To counter-act that we ask for twice the number of pages to be made
      available. Furthermore, we allow the shrinker to pull pages from the
      active list in later passes.
      
      v2: Be a little more cautious in paging out gfx buffers, and leave that
      to a more balanced approach from shrink_slab(). Important when combined
      with "drm/i915: Start writeback from the shrinker" as anything shrunk is
      immediately swapped out and so should be more conservative.
