Our timelines are stored inside intel_gt so we can convert the interface
to take exactly that and not i915.
At the same time re-order the params to our more typical layout and
replace the backpointer to the new containing structure.

To continue the onslaught of removing the assumption of a global
execution ordering, another casualty is the engine->timeline. Without an
actual timeline to track, it is overkill and we can replace it with a
much less grand plain list. We still need a list of requests inflight,
for the simple purpose of finding inflight requests (for retiring,
resetting, preemption etc).

The timeline is strictly ordered, so by inserting the timeline->barrier
request into the timeline->last_request it naturally provides the same
barrier. Consolidate the pair of barriers into one as they serve the
same purpose.

The timeline->name is only used for convenience in pretty printing the
i915_request.fence->ops->get_timeline_name() and it is just as
convenient to pull it from the gem_context directly. The few instances
of its use inside GEM_TRACE() has proven more of a nuisance than
helpful, so not worth saving imo.

In preparation for enabling HW semaphores, we need to keep in flight
timeline HWSP alive until its use across entire system has completed,
as any other timeline active on the GPU may still refer back to the
already retired timeline. We both have to delay recycling available
cachelines and unpinning old HWSP until the next idle point.
An easy option would be to simply keep all used HWSP until the system as
a whole was idle, i.e. we could release them all at once on parking.
However, on a busy system, we may never see a global idle point,
essentially meaning the resource will be leaked until we are forced to
do a GC pass. We already employ a fine-grained idle detection mechanism
for vma, which we can reuse here so that each cacheline can be freed
immediately after the last request using it is retired.
v3: Keep track of the activity of each cacheline.
v4: cacheline_free() on canceling the seqno tracking
v5: Finally with a testcase to exercise wraparound
v6: Pack cacheline into empty bits of page-aligned vaddr
v7: Use i915_utils to hide the pointer casting around bit manipulation

A simple mutex used for guarding the flow of requests in and out of the
timeline. In the short-term, it will be used only to guard the addition
of requests into the timeline, taken on alloc and released on commit so
that only one caller can construct a request into the timeline
(important as the seqno and ring pointers must be serialised). This will
be used by observers to ensure that the seqno/hwsp is stable. Later,
when we have reduced retiring to only operate on a single timeline at a
time, we can then use the mutex as the sole guard required for retiring.

Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one
request, and to give it a longer, less appealing name).

Timeline barrier allows serialization between different timelines.
After calling i915_timeline_set_barrier with a request, all following
submissions on this timeline will be set up as depending on this request,
or barrier. Once the barrier has been completed it automatically gets
cleared and things continue as normal.
This facility will be used by the upcoming context SSEU code.
v2:
* Assert barrier has been retired on timeline_fini. (Chris Wilson)
* Fix mock_timeline.
v3:
* Improved comment language. (Chris Wilson)
v4:
* Maintain ordering with previous barriers set on the timeline.
v5:
* Rebase.

To allow requests to forgo a common execution timeline, one question we
need to be able to answer is "is this request running?". To track
whether a request has started on HW, we can emit a breadcrumb at the
beginning of the request and check its timeline's HWSP to see if the
breadcrumb has advanced past the start of this request. (This is in
contrast to the global timeline where we need only ask if we are on the
global timeline and if the timeline has advanced past the end of the
previous request.)
There is still confusion from a preempted request, which has already
started but relinquished the HW to a high priority request. For the
common case, this discrepancy should be negligible. However, for
identification of hung requests, knowing which one was running at the
time of the hang will be much more important.

Now that we pin timelines around use, we have a clearly defined lifetime
and convenient points at which we can track only the active timelines.
This allows us to reduce the list iteration to only consider those

Now that we have allocated ourselves a cacheline to store a breadcrumb,
we can emit a write from the GPU into the timeline's HWSP of the
per-context seqno as we complete each request. This drops the mirroring
of the per-engine HWSP and allows each context to operate independently.
We do not need to unwind the per-context timeline, and so requests are
always consistent with the timeline breadcrumb, greatly simplifying the
completion checks as we no longer need to be concerned about the
global_seqno changing mid check.
One complication though is that we have to be wary that the request may
outlive the HWSP and so avoid touching the potentially danging pointer
after we have retired the fence. We also have to guard our access of the
HWSP with RCU, the release of the obj->mm.pages should already be RCU-safe.
At this point, we are emitting both per-context and global seqno and
still using the single per-engine execution timeline for resolving
interrupts.

If we restrict ourselves to only using a cacheline for each timeline's
HWSP (we could go smaller, but want to avoid needless polluting
cachelines on different engines between different contexts), then we can
suballocate a single 4k page into 64 different timeline HWSP. By
treating each fresh allocation as a slab of 64 entries, we can keep it
around for the next 64 allocation attempts until we need to refresh the
slab cache.
John Harrison noted the issue of fragmentation leading to the same worst
case performance of one page per timeline as before, which can be
mitigated by adopting a freelist.
v2: Keep all partially allocated HWSP on a freelist
This is still without migration, so it is possible for the system to end
up with each timeline in its own page, but we ensure that no new
allocation would needless allocate a fresh page!
v3: Throw a selftest at the allocator to try and catch invalid cacheline
reuse.

Allocate a page for use as a status page by a group of timelines, as we
only need a dword of storage for each (rounded up to the cacheline for
safety) we can pack multiple timelines into the same page. Each timeline
will then be able to track its own HW seqno.
v2: Reuse the common per-engine HWSP for the solitary ringbuffer
timeline, so that we do not have to emit (using per-gen specialised
vfuncs) the breadcrumb into the distinct timeline HWSP and instead can
keep on using the common MI_STORE_DWORD_INDEX. However, to maintain the
sleight-of-hand for the global/per-context seqno switchover, we will
store both temporarily (and so use a custom offset for the shared timeline
HWSP until the switch over).
v3: Keep things simple and allocate a page for each timeline, page
sharing comes next.
v4: I was caught repeating the same MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM over and over
again in selftests.
v5: And caught red handed copying create timeline + check.

We need to move to a more flexible timeline that doesn't assume one
fence context per engine, and so allow for a single timeline to be used
across a combination of engines. This means that preallocating a fence
context per engine is now a hindrance, and so we want to introduce the
singular timeline. From the code perspective, this has the notable
advantage of clearing up a lot of mirky semantics and some clumsy
pointer chasing.
By splitting the timeline up into a single entity rather than an array
of per-engine timelines, we can realise the goal of the previous patch
of tracking the timeline alongside the ring.
v2: Tweak wait_for_idle to stop the compiling thinking that ret may be
uninitialised.
