After the elimination of using the scratch page for Ironlake's breadcrumb, we no longer need to kmap the object. We therefore can move it into the high unmappable space and do not need to force the object to be coherent (i.e. snooped on !llc platforms). Signed-off-by:

By using the same address for storing the HWS on every platform, we can remove the platform specific vfuncs and reduce the get-seqno routine to a single read of a cached memory location. v2: Fix semaphore_passed() to look at the signaling engine (not the waiter's) Signed-off-by:

When waiting for an interrupt (waiting for the engine to complete some work), we know we are the only waiter to be woken on this engine. We also know when the GPU has nearly completed our request (or at least started processing it), so after being woken and we detect that the GPU is active and working on our request, allow us the bottom-half (the first waiter who wakes up to handle checking the seqno after the interrupt) to spin for a very short while to reduce client latencies. The impact is minimal, there was an improvement to the realtime-vs-many clients case, but exporting the function proves useful later. However, it is tempting to adjust irq_seqno_barrier to include the spin. The problem is first ensuring that the "start-of-request" seqno is coherent as we use that as our basis for judging when it is ok to spin. If we could, spinning there could dramatically shorten some sleeps, and allow us to make the barriers more conservative to handle missed seqno writes on more platforms (all gen7+ are known to have the occasional issue, at least).

One particularly stressful scenario consists of many independent tasks all competing for GPU time and waiting upon the results (e.g. realtime transcoding of many, many streams). One bottleneck in particular is that each client waits on its own results, but every client is woken up after every batchbuffer - hence the thunder of hooves as then every client must do its heavyweight dance to read a coherent seqno to see if it is the lucky one. Ideally, we only want one client to wake up after the interrupt and check its request for completion. Since the requests must retire in order, we can select the first client on the oldest request to be woken. Once that client has completed his wait, we can then wake up the next client and so on. However, all clients then incur latency as every process in the chain may be delayed for scheduling - this may also then cause some priority inversion. To reduce the latency, when a client is added or removed from the list, we scan the tree for completed seqno and wake up all the completed waiters in parallel. Using igt/benchmarks/gem_latency, we can demonstrate this effect. The benchmark measures the number of GPU cycles between completion of a batch and the client waking up from a call to wait-ioctl. With many concurrent waiters, with each on a different request, we observe that the wakeup latency before the patch scales nearly linearly with the number of waiters (before external factors kick in making the scaling much worse). After applying the patch, we can see that only the single waiter for the request is being woken up, providing a constant wakeup latency for every operation. However, the situation is not quite as rosy for many waiters on the same request, though to the best of my knowledge this is much less likely in practice. Here, we can observe that the concurrent waiters incur extra latency from being woken up by the solitary bottom-half, rather than directly by the interrupt. This appears to be scheduler induced (having discounted adverse effects from having a rbtree walk/erase in the wakeup path), each additional wake_up_process() costs approximately 1us on big core. Another effect of performing the secondary wakeups from the first bottom-half is the incurred delay this imposes on high priority threads - rather than immediately returning to userspace and leaving the interrupt handler to wake the others. To offset the delay incurred with additional waiters on a request, we could use a hybrid scheme that did a quick read in the interrupt handler and dequeued all the completed waiters (incurring the overhead in the interrupt handler, not the best plan either as we then incur GPU submission latency) but we would still have to wake up the bottom-half every time to do the heavyweight slow read. Or we could only kick the waiters on the seqno with the same priority as the current task (i.e. in the realtime waiter scenario, only it is woken up immediately by the interrupt and simply queues the next waiter before returning to userspace, minimising its delay at the expense of the chain, and also reducing contention on its scheduler runqueue). This is effective at avoid long pauses in the interrupt handler and at avoiding the extra latency in realtime/high-priority waiters. v2: Convert from a kworker per engine into a dedicated kthread for the bottom-half. v3: Rename request members and tweak comments. v4: Use a per-engine spinlock in the breadcrumbs bottom-half. v5: Fix race in locklessly checking waiter status and kicking the task on adding a new waiter. v6: Fix deciding when to force the timer to hide missing interrupts. v7: Move the bottom-half from the kthread to the first client process. v8: Reword a few comments v9: Break the busy loop when the interrupt is unmasked or has fired. v10: Comments, unnecessary churn, better debugging from Tvrtko v11: Wake all completed waiters on removing the current bottom-half to reduce the latency of waking up a herd of clients all waiting on the same request. v12: Rearrange missed-interrupt fault injection so that it works with igt/drv_missed_irq_hang v13: Rename intel_breadcrumb and friends to intel_wait in preparation for signal handling. v14: RCU commentary, assert_spin_locked v15: Hide BUG_ON behind the compiler; report on gem_latency findings. v16: Sort seqno-groups by priority so that first-waiter has the highest task priority (and so avoid priority inversion). v17: Add waiters to post-mortem GPU hang state. v18: Return early for a completed wait after acquiring the spinlock. Avoids adding ourselves to the tree if the is already complete, and skips the awkward question of why we don't do completion wakeups for waits earlier than or equal to ourselves. v19: Prepare for init_breadcrumbs to fail. Later patches may want to allocate during init, so be prepared to propagate back the error code. Testcase: igt/gem_concurrent_blit Testcase: igt/benchmarks/gem_latency Signed-off-by:

Currently __i915_wait_request uses a per-engine wait_queue_t for the dual purpose of waking after the GPU advances or for waking after an error. In the future, we may add even more wake sources and require greater separation, but for now we can conceptually simplify wakeups by separating the two sources. In particular, this allows us to use different wait-queues (e.g. one on the engine advancement, a global one for errors and one on each requests) without any hassle. Signed-off-by:

The queue only ever contains at most one item and has no special flags. It is just a very simple wrapper around the system-wq - a complication with no benefits. v2: Use the system_long_wq as we may wish to capture the error state after detecting the hang - which may take a bit of time.

We can forgo queuing the hangcheck from the start of every request to until we wait upon a request. This reduces the overhead of every request, but may increase the latency of detecting a hang. However, if nothing every waits upon a hang, did it ever hang? It also improves the robustness of the wait-request by ensuring that the hangchecker is indeed running before we sleep indefinitely (and thereby ensuring that we never actually sleep forever waiting for a dead GPU). As pointed out by Tvrtko, it is possible for a GPU hang to go unnoticed for as long as nobody is waiting for the GPU. Though this rare, during that time we may be consuming more power than if we had promptly recovered, and in the most extreme case we may exhaust all memory before forcing the hangcheck. Something to be wary off in future. Signed-off-by:

BXT BIOS has two options related to GPU power management: "RC6(Render Standby)" and "GT PM Support". The assumption so far was that disabling either of these options would leave RC6 uninitialized. According to my tests this isn't so: for a proper RC6 setup we only need the "GT PM Support" option to be enabled while the "RC6" option only controls whether RC6 is left enabled or not by BIOS. OTOH we were missing a few checks to ensure a proper RC6 setup. Add these now and don't fail the sanity check if RC6 is disabled. This fixes a problem where RC6 remains disabled after reloading the driver, since we explicitly disable RC6 during unloading. v2: - Print a debug message about the BIOS enabled RC state.
