Sometimes it may be the case when we idle the gpu or wait on something
we don't actually want to process the retiring list. This patch allows
callers to choose the behavior.

A lot of minor tweaks to fix the tracepoints, improve the outputting for
ftrace, and to generally make the tracepoints useful again. It is a start
and enough to begin identifying performance issues and gaps in our
coverage.

Besides the minimal improvement in reducing the execbuffer overhead, the
real benefit is clarifying a few routines.

Take two passes to evict everything whilst searching for sufficient free
space to bind the batchbuffer. After searching for sufficient free space
using LRU eviction, evict everything that is purgeable and try again.
Only then if there is insufficient free space (or the GTT is too badly
fragmented) evict everything from the aperture and try one last time.

It is possible for the active list to only contain a read-only buffer so
that the ring->gpu_write_list remains entry. This leads to an
inconsistency between i915_gpu_is_active() and i915_gpu_idle() causing
an infinite spin during the shrinker and an assertion failure that
i915_gpu_idle() does indeed flush all buffers from the active lists.

Add a mappable parameter to i915_gem_evict_something to distinguish
the two cases (non-restricted vs. mappable gtt allocations). No
functional changes because the mappable limit is set to the end of
the gtt currently.

To handle retirements, we need per-ring tracking of active objects.
To handle evictions, we need global tracking of active objects.
As we enable more rings, rebuilding the global list from the individual
per-ring lists quickly grows tiresome and overly complicated. Tracking the
active objects in two lists is the lesser of two evils.

... by always initialising the empty ringbuffer it is always then safe

Now that we hold onto a reference whilst evicting objects, we need to
be sure that we drop all the references taken -- even on the error
paths.
Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
During heavy aperture thrashing we may be forced to wait upon several active
objects during eviction. The active list may be the last reference to
these objects and so the action of waiting upon one of them may cause
another to be freed (and itself unbound). To prevent the object
disappearing underneath us, we need to acquire and hold a reference
whilst unbinding.
This should fix the reported page refcount OOPS:

This spinlock only served debugging purposes in a time when we could not
be sure of the mutex ever being released upon a GPU hang. As we now
should be able rely on hangcheck to do the job for us (and that error
reporting should not itself require the struct mutex) we can kill the
incomplete attempt at protection.

Based in a large part upon Daniel Vetter's implementation and adapted
for handling multiple rings in a single pass.
This should lead to better gtt usage and fixes the page-fault-of-doom
triggered. The fairness is provided by scanning through the GTT space
amalgamating space in rendering order. As soon as we have a contiguous
space in the GTT large enough for the new object (and its alignment),
evict any object which lies within that space. This should keep more
objects resident in the GTT.
Doing throughput testing on a PineView machine with cairo-perf-trace
indicates that there is very little difference with the new LRU scan,
perhaps a small improvement... Except oddly for the poppler trace.
