In the next patch, we will want to update live state within a context. As this state may be in use by the GPU and we haven't been explicitly tracking its activity, we instead attach it to a request we send down the context setup with its new state and on retiring that request cleanup the old state as we then know that it is no longer live.

It is debatable whether having an error message on suspend for forcibly cancelling outstanding work is worthwhile. We want to know if it occurs in the wild (as we will then have to reconsider the approach!), but equally is not fatal across suspend, as upon resume we automatically clear the wedged status. However, CI does trigger this scenario with gem_eio/suspend; as there we are intentionally wedging the device upon suspend. The dilemma is how not to trigger a failure report for the dmesg spam, for which the quickest response is to suppress the warning in the kernel. I'd rather mark it as accepted in gem_eio, but for now detecting when gem_eio is playing games and cancelling the warning for that case seems a barely acceptable hack.

If PSR1 is active when pipe CRC is enabled the CRC calculations will be inhibit by the transition to low power states that PSR1 brings. So lets force a PSR1 exit and as soon as pipe CRC is enabled it will block PSR1 activation and avoid CRC timeouts when running IGT tests. There is a little window between the call to force exit PSR and the write to pipe CRC registers that needs to happen within the minimum of 6 idles frames otherwise PSR1 will be active again causing the CRC timeouts but anyways this will at least reduce the occurrence of CRC timeouts. This can possibily fix issues present right now but I did not found any open, I mostly got this issue from previous CI runs of this series, bellow some exambles: * igt@kms_color@pipe-b-ctm-0-75: - shard-apl: PASS -> FAIL +9 * igt@kms_cursor_legacy@flip-vs-cursor-busy-crc-legacy: - shard-apl: PASS -> DMESG-FAIL +17 * igt@kms_frontbuffer_tracking@fbc-1p-primscrn-indfb-pgflip-blt: - shard-kbl: PASS -> DMESG-FAIL +12 * igt@kms_pipe_crc_basic@read-crc-pipe-c: - shard-kbl: PASS -> FAIL +7 v6: s/PSR/PSR1 (Dhinakaran) Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dhinakaran Pandiyan <dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190308000050.6226-8-jose.souza@intel.com

In any commit, intel_modeset_pipe_config() will initialilly clear and then recalculate most of the pipe states but it leave intel specific color features states in reset state. If after intel_pipe_config_compare() is detected that a fastset is possible it will mark update_pipe as true and unsed mode_changed, causing the color features state to be kept in reset state and then latter being committed to hardware disabling the color features. This issue can be reproduced by any code patch that duplicates the actual(with color features already enabled) state and only mark mode_changed as true.

Introduce a mutex to start locking the HW contexts independently of struct_mutex, with a view to reducing the coarse struct_mutex. The intel_context.pin_mutex is used to guard the transition to and from being pinned on the gpu, and so is required before starting to build any request. The intel_context will then remain pinned until the request completes, but the mutex can be released immediately unpin completion of pinning the context. A slight variant of the above is used by per-context sseu that wants to inspect the pinned status of the context, and requires that it remains stable (either !pinned or pinned) across its operation. By using the pin_mutex to serialise operations while pin_count==0, we can take that pin_mutex for stabilise the boolean pin status. v2: for Tvrtko! * Improved commit message. * Dropped _gpu suffix from gen8_modify_rpcs_gpu. v3: Repair the locking for sseu selftests Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190308132522.21573-7-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

PPS locking is a thing on pre-DDI, up to and including CPT and PPT. The PPS divisor register exists up to gen 9 BC, replaced by a field in the control register starting from gen 9 LP, i.e. BXT, GLK, and CNP on. Commit b0a08bec ("drm/i915/bxt: eDP Panel Power sequencing") stopped using the divisor register, but inadvertently conflated the PPS unlock in the change. No longer doing the unlocking was the right thing to do, however we should've stopped already at LPT (or DDI platforms). Deconflate the two. Arguably this could be moved away from here altogether, but this is the minimally intrusive change for now.

Currently we assume that we know the order in which requests run and so can determine if we need to reissue a switch-to-kernel-context prior to idling. That assumption does not hold for the future, so instead of tracking which barriers have been used, simply determine if we have ever switched away from the kernel context by using the engine and before idling ensure that all engines that have been used since the last idle are synchronously switched back to the kernel context for safety (and else of shrinking memory while idle). v2: Use intel_engine_mask_t and ALL_ENGINES Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190308093657.8640-3-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

When the system idles, we switch to the kernel context as a defensive measure (no users are harmed if the kernel context is lost). Currently, we issue a switch to kernel context and then come back later to see if the kernel context is still current and the system is idle. However, if we are no longer privy to the runqueue ordering, then we have to relax our assumptions about the logical state of the GPU and the only way to ensure that the kernel context is currently loaded is by issuing a request to run after all others, and wait for it to complete all while preventing anyone else from issuing their own requests. v2: Pull wedging into switch_to_kernel_context_sync() but only after waiting (though only for the same short delay) for the active context to finish.

Pretend that we have only 1 DBuf slice and that 1 slice is always enabled, until we have a proper way for on-demand toggling of the second slice. Currently we'll try to incorrectly enable DBuf even when all pipes are disabled and we are already runtime suspended (as the computed number of DBuf slices will be 1 in that case). This also means we'll leave the second slice enabled redundantly (except when suspended), but that's an acceptable tradeoff until we have a proper solution.

Now with the watermarks fixes merged, Icelake is stable enough to have the alpha support protection flag removed. We have a few ICL machines in our CI and it is mostly green with failures in tests that will not impact future linux installations. Also there is no warnings, errors, flickering or any visual defects while doing ordinary tasks like browsing and editing documents in a dual monitor setup. As a reminder i915.alpha_support was created to protect future linux installation's iso images that might contain a kernel from the enabling time of the new platform. Without this protection most of linux installation was recommending nomodeset option during installation that was getting stick there after installation. Specifically, alpha support says nothing about the development state of the hardware, and everything about the state of the driver in a kernel release. This is semantically no different from the old preliminary_hw_support flag, but the old one was all too often interpreted as (preliminary hw) support instead of the intended (preliminary) hw support, and it was misleading for everyone. Hence the rename.
