We can't trace dependencies from drm_sched_job_add_dependency
because when it's called the job's fence is not available yet.
So instead each dependency is traced individually when
drm_sched_entity_push_job is used.
Tracing the dependencies allows tools to analyze the dependencies
between the jobs (previously it was only possible for fences
traced by drm_sched_job_wait_dep).

Since switching the scheduler from using kthreads to workqueues in
commit a6149f0393 ("drm/sched: Convert drm scheduler to use a work
queue rather than kthread") userspace applications cannot determine
the device from the PID of the threads sending the trace events
anymore.
Each queue had its own kthread which had a given PID for the whole
time. So, at least for amdgpu, it was possible to associate a PID
to the hardware queues of each GPU in the system. Then, when a
drm_run_job trace event was received by userspace, the source PID
allowed to associate it back to the correct GPU.
With workqueues this is not possible anymore, so the event needs to
contain the dev_name() to identify the device.

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

Currently, job flow control is implemented simply by limiting the number
of jobs in flight. Therefore, a scheduler is initialized with a credit
limit that corresponds to the number of jobs which can be sent to the
hardware.
This implies that for each job, drivers need to account for the maximum
job size possible in order to not overflow the ring buffer.
However, there are drivers, such as Nouveau, where the job size has a
rather large range. For such drivers it can easily happen that job
submissions not even filling the ring by 1% can block subsequent
submissions, which, in the worst case, can lead to the ring run dry.
In order to overcome this issue, allow for tracking the actual job size
instead of the number of jobs. Therefore, add a field to track a job's
credit count, which represents the number of credits a job contributes
to the scheduler's credit limit.

During debug sessions I encountered a need to trace
back a job dependecy a few steps back to the first failing
job. This trace helpped me a lot.
