drm/i915/skl: Add support for the SAGV, fix underrun hangs
Since the watermark calculations for Skylake are still broken, we're apt to hitting underruns very easily under multi-monitor configurations. While it would be lovely if this was fixed, it's not. Another problem that's been coming from this however, is the mysterious issue of underruns causing full system hangs. An easy way to reproduce this with a skylake system: - Get a laptop with a skylake GPU, and hook up two external monitors to it - Move the cursor from the built-in LCD to one of the external displays as quickly as you can - You'll get a few pipe underruns, and eventually the entire system will just freeze. After doing a lot of investigation and reading through the bspec, I found the existence of the SAGV, which is responsible for adjusting the system agent voltage and clock frequencies depending on how much power we need. According to the bspec: "The display engine access to system memory is blocked during the adjustment time. SAGV defaults to enabled. Software must use the GT-driver pcode mailbox to disable SAGV when the display engine is not able to tolerate the blocking time." The rest of the bspec goes on to explain that software can simply leave the SAGV enabled, and disable it when we use interlaced pipes/have more then one pipe active. Sure enough, with this patchset the system hangs resulting from pipe underruns on Skylake have completely vanished on my T460s. Additionally, the bspec mentions turning off the SAGV with more then one pipe enabled as a workaround for display underruns. While this patch doesn't entirely fix that, it looks like it does improve the situation a little bit so it's likely this is going to be required to make watermarks on Skylake fully functional. This will still need additional work in the future: we shouldn't be enabling the SAGV if any of the currently enabled planes can't enable WM levels that introduce latencies >= 30 µs. Changes since v11: - Add skl_can_enable_sagv() - Make sure we don't enable SAGV when not all planes can enable watermarks >= the SAGV engine block time. I was originally going to save this for later, but I recently managed to run into a machine that was having problems with a single pipe configuration + SAGV. - Make comparisons to I915_SKL_SAGV_NOT_CONTROLLED explicit - Change I915_SAGV_DYNAMIC_FREQ to I915_SAGV_ENABLE - Move printks outside of mutexes - Don't print error messages twice Changes since v10: - Apparently sandybridge_pcode_read actually writes values and reads them back, despite it's misleading function name. This means we've been doing this mostly wrong and have been writing garbage to the SAGV control. Because of this, we no longer attempt to read the SAGV status during initialization (since there are no helpers for this). - mlankhorst noticed that this patch was breaking on some very early pre-release Skylake machines, which apparently don't allow you to disable the SAGV. To prevent machines from failing tests due to SAGV errors, if the first time we try to control the SAGV results in the mailbox indicating an invalid command, we just disable future attempts to control the SAGV state by setting dev_priv->skl_sagv_status to I915_SKL_SAGV_NOT_CONTROLLED and make a note of it in dmesg. - Move mutex_unlock() a little higher in skl_enable_sagv(). This doesn't actually fix anything, but lets us release the lock a little sooner since we're finished with it. Changes since v9: - Only enable/disable sagv on Skylake Changes since v8: - Add intel_state->modeset guard to the conditional for skl_enable_sagv() Changes since v7: - Remove GEN9_SAGV_LOW_FREQ, replace with GEN9_SAGV_IS_ENABLED (that's all we use it for anyway) - Use GEN9_SAGV_IS_ENABLED instead of 0x1 for clarification - Fix a styling error that snuck past me Changes since v6: - Protect skl_enable_sagv() with intel_state->modeset conditional in intel_atomic_commit_tail() Changes since v5: - Don't use is_power_of_2. Makes things confusing - Don't use the old state to figure out whether or not to enable/disable the sagv, use the new one - Split the loop in skl_disable_sagv into it's own function - Move skl_sagv_enable/disable() calls into intel_atomic_commit_tail() Changes since v4: - Use is_power_of_2 against active_crtcs to check whether we have > 1 pipe enabled - Fix skl_sagv_get_hw_state(): (temp & 0x1) indicates disabled, 0x0 enabled - Call skl_sagv_enable/disable() from pre/post-plane updates Changes since v3: - Use time_before() to compare timeout to jiffies Changes since v2: - Really apply minor style nitpicks to patch this time Changes since v1: - Added comments about this probably being one of the requirements to fixing Skylake's watermark issues - Minor style nitpicks from Matt Roper - Disable these functions on Broxton, since it doesn't have an SAGV Signed-off-by: Lyude <cpaul@redhat.com> Cc: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1471463761-26796-3-git-send-email-cpaul@redhat.com [mlankhorst: ENOSYS -> ENXIO, whitespace fixes] (cherry picked from commit 656d1b89) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
