This means that the proto-context needs to grow support for engine
configuration information as well as setparam logic. Fortunately, we'll
be deleting a lot of setparam logic on the primary context shortly so it
will hopefully balance out.
There's an extra bit of fun here when it comes to setting SSEU and the
way it interacts with PARAM_ENGINES. Unfortunately, thanks to
SET_CONTEXT_PARAM and not being allowed to pick the order in which we
handle certain parameters, we have think about those interactions.

What we really want to check is that size of the engines array, i.e.
args->size - sizeof(*user) is divisible by the element size, i.e.
sizeof(*user->engines) because that's what's required for computing the
array length right below the check. However, we're currently not doing
this and instead doing a compile-time check that sizeof(*user) is
divisible by sizeof(*user->engines) and avoiding the subtraction. As
far as I can tell, the only reason for the more confusing pair of checks
is to avoid a single subtraction of a constant.
The other thing the BUILD_BUG_ON might be trying to implicitly check is
that offsetof(user->engines) == sizeof(*user) and we don't have any
weird padding throwing us off. However, that's not the check it's doing
and it's not even a reliable way to do that check.

The current context uAPI allows for two methods of setting context
parameters: SET_CONTEXT_PARAM and CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_SETPARAM. The
former is allowed to be called at any time while the later happens as
part of GEM_CONTEXT_CREATE. Currently, everything settable via one is
settable via the other. While some params are fairly simple and setting
them on a live context is harmless such the context priority, others are
far trickier such as the VM or the set of engines. In order to swap out
the VM, for instance, we have to delay until all current in-flight work
is complete, swap in the new VM, and then continue. This leads to a
plethora of potential race conditions we'd really rather avoid.
Unfortunately, both methods of setting the VM and the engine set are in
active use today so we can't simply disallow setting the VM or engine
set vial SET_CONTEXT_PARAM. In order to work around this wart, this
commit adds a proto-context struct which contains all the context create
parameters.

As far as I can tell, the only real reason for this is to avoid taking a

probably pales in comparison to the cost of the ioctl itself so we're
really not buying ourselves anything here. We're about to make context
lookup a tiny bit more complicated, so let's get rid of the one hand-
rolled case.
Some usermode drivers such as our Vulkan driver call GET_RESET_STATS on
every execbuf so the perf here could theoretically be an issue. If this
ever does become a performance issue for any such userspace drivers,
they can use set CONTEXT_PARAM_RECOVERABLE to false and look for -EIO
coming from execbuf to check for hangs instead.

Even though FENCE_SUBMIT is only documented to wait until the request in
the in-fence starts instead of waiting until it completes, it has a bit
more magic than that. If FENCE_SUBMIT is used to submit something to a
balanced engine, we would wait to assign engines until the primary
request was ready to start and then attempt to assign it to a different
engine than the primary. There is an IGT test (the bonded-slice subtest
of gem_exec_balancer) which exercises this by submitting a primary batch
to a specific VCS and then using FENCE_SUBMIT to submit a secondary
which can run on any VCS and have i915 figure out which VCS to run it on
such that they can run in parallel.
However, this functionality has never been used in the real world. The
media driver (the only user of FENCE_SUBMIT) always picks exactly two
physical engines to bond and never asks us to pick which to use.

This adds a bunch of complexity which the media driver has never
actually used. The media driver does technically bond a balanced engine
to another engine but the balanced engine only has one engine in the
sibling set. This doesn't actually result in a virtual engine.
This functionality was originally added to handle cases where we may
have more than two video engines and media might want to load-balance
their bonded submits by, for instance, submitting to a balanced vcs0-1
as the primary and then vcs2-3 as the secondary. However, no such
hardware has shipped thus far and, if we ever want to enable such
use-cases in the future, we'll use the up-and-coming parallel submit API
which targets GuC submission.
This makes I915_CONTEXT_ENGINES_EXT_BOND a total no-op. We leave the
validation code in place in case we ever decide we want to do something
interesting with the bonding information.

This API is entirely unnecessary and I'd love to get rid of it. If
userspace wants a single timeline across multiple contexts, they can
either use implicit synchronization or a syncobj, both of which existed
at the time this feature landed. The justification given at the time
was that it would help GL drivers which are inherently single-timeline.
However, neither of our GL drivers actually wanted the feature. i965
was already in maintenance mode at the time and iris uses syncobj for
everything.
Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to get rid of it, it is used by the
media driver so we can't do that. We can, however, do the next-best
thing which is to embed a syncobj in the context and do exactly what
we'd expect from userspace internally. This isn't an entirely identical
implementation because it's no longer atomic if userspace races with
itself by calling execbuffer2 twice simultaneously from different
threads. It won't crash in that case; it just doesn't guarantee any
ordering between those two submits. It also means that sync files
exported from different engines on a SINGLE_TIMELINE context will have
different fence contexts. This is visible to userspace if it looks at
the obj_name field of sync_fence_info.
Moving SINGLE_TIMELINE to a syncobj emulation has a couple of technical
advantages beyond mere annoyance. One is that intel_timeline is no
longer an api-visible object and can remain entirely an implementation
detail. This may be advantageous as we make scheduler changes going
forward. Second is that, together with deleting the CLONE_CONTEXT API,
we should now have a 1:1 mapping between intel_context and
intel_timeline which may help us reduce locking.

This API allows one context to grab bits out of another context upon
creation. It can be used as a short-cut for setparam(getparam()) for
things like I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_VM. However, it's never been used by any
real userspace. It's used by a few IGT tests and that's it. Since it
doesn't add any real value (most of the stuff you can CLONE you can copy
in other ways), drop it.
There is one thing that this API allows you to clone which you cannot
clone via getparam/setparam: timelines. However, timelines are an
implementation detail of i915 and not really something that needs to be
exposed to userspace. Also, sharing timelines between contexts isn't
obviously useful and supporting it has the potential to complicate i915
internally. It also doesn't add any functionality that the client can't
get in other ways. If a client really wants a shared timeline, they can
use a syncobj and set it as an in and out fence on every submit.

Instead of handling it like a context param, unconditionally set it when
intel_contexts are created. For years we've had the idea of a watchdog
uAPI floating about. The aim was for media, so that they could set very
tight deadlines for their transcodes jobs, so that if you have a corrupt
bitstream (especially for decoding) you don't hang your desktop too
hard. But it's been stuck in limbo since forever, and this simplifies
things a bit in preparation for the proto-context work. If we decide to
actually make said uAPI a reality, we can do it through the proto-
context easily enough.
This does mean that we move from reading the request_timeout_ms param
once per engine when engines are created instead of once at context
creation. If someone changes request_timeout_ms between creating a
context and setting engines, it will mean that they get the new timeout.
If someone races setting request_timeout_ms and context creation, they
can theoretically end up with different timeouts. However, since both
of these are fairly harmless and require changing kernel params, we
don't care.

This reverts commit 88be76cdaf ("drm/i915: Allow userspace to specify
ringsize on construction"). This API was originally added for OpenCL
but the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year without action so we
can still pull it out if we want. I argue we should drop it for three
reasons:
1. If the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year, this clearly
isn't that important.
2. It's a very leaky API. Ring size is an implementation detail of the
current execlist scheduler and really only makes sense there. It
can't apply to the older ring-buffer scheduler on pre-execlist
hardware because that's shared across all contexts and it won't
apply to the GuC scheduler that's in the pipeline.
3. Having userspace set a ring size in bytes is a bad solution to the
problem of having too small a ring. There is no way that userspace
has the information to know how to properly set the ring size so
it's just going to detect the feature and always set it to the
maximum of 512K. This is what the compute-runtime PR does. The
scheduler in i915, on the other hand, does have the information to
make an informed choice. It could detect if the ring size is a
problem and grow it itself. Or, if that's too hard, we could just
increase the default size from 16K to 32K or even 64K instead of
relying on userspace to do it.
Let's drop this API for now and, if someone decides they really care
about solving this problem, they can do it properly.

For some specialised objects we might need something larger than the
regions min_page_size due to some hw restriction, and slightly more
hairy is needing something smaller with the guarantee that such objects
will never be inserted into any GTT, which is the case for the paging
structures.
This also fixes how we setup the BO page_alignment, if we later migrate
the object somewhere else. For example if the placements are {SMEM,
LMEM}, then we might get this wrong. Pushing the min_page_size behaviour

For discrete, use TTM for both cached and WC system memory. That means
we currently rely on the TTM memory accounting / shrinker. For cached
system memory we should consider remaining shmem-backed, which can be
implemented from our ttm_tt_populate callback. We can then also reuse our
own very elaborate shrinker for that memory.
If an object is evicted to a gem allowable region, we will now consider
the object migrated, and we flip the gem region and move the object to a
different region list. Since we are now changing gem regions, we can't
any longer rely on the CONTIGUOUS flag being set based on the region

drm/i915: Restrict pagefault disabling to just around copy_from_user()
we entirely missed that there's a slow path call to eb_relocate_entry
(or i915_gem_execbuffer_relocate_entry as it was called back then)
which was left fully wrapped by pagefault_disable/enable() calls.
Previously any issues with blocking calls where handled by the
following code:
/* we can't wait for rendering with pagefaults disabled */
if (pagefault_disabled() && !object_is_idle(obj))
return -EFAULT;
Now at this point the prefaulting was still around, which means in
normal applications it was very hard to hit this bug. No idea why the
regressions in igts weren't caught.
Now this all changed big time with 2 patches merged closely together.

Revert "drm/i915/gem: Drop relocation slowpath".
but this did not further impact what's going on.
Since pagefault_disable/enable is an atomic section, any sleeping in
there is prohibited, and we definitely do that without gpu relocations
since we have to wait for the gpu usage to finish before we can patch
up the relocations.
