Our dmesg messages started being misleading after we converted to the
enable+activate model: we always print "Disabling FBC", even when
we're just deactivating it. So, for example, when I boot my machine
and do "dmesg | grep -i fbc", I see:
[drm:intel_fbc_enable] Enabling FBC on pipe A
[drm:set_no_fbc_reason] Disabling FBC: framebuffer not tiled or fenced
but then, if I read the debugfs file, I will see:
$ sudo cat i915_fbc_status
FBC enabled
Compressing: yes
so we can conclude that dmesg is misleading, since FBC is actually
enabled. What happened is that we deactivated FBC due to fbcon not
being tiled, but when we silently reactivated it when the display
manager started. We don't print activation messages since there may be
way too many of these operations per second during normal desktop
usage.
One possible solution would be to change set_no_fbc_reason to
correctly differentiate between disable and deactivation, but we
removed support from printing activation/deactivation messages in the
past because they were too frequent. So instead of doing this, let's
just not print anything on dmesg, and leave the debugfs file if the
user needs to investigate something. We already print when we enable
and disable FBC anyway on a given pipe, so this should already help
triaging bugs.

Older FBC platforms have this restriction where FBC can't be enabled
if multiple pipes are enabled. In the current code, we disable FBC
before the second pipe becomes visible.
One of the problems with this code is that the current
multiple_pipes_ok() implementation just iterates through all CRTCs
looking at their states, but it doesn't make sure that the state
locks are grabbed. It also can't just grab the locks for every CRTC
since this would kill one of the biggest advantages of atomic
modesetting.
After the recent FBC changes, we now have the appropriate locks for
the given CRTC, so we can just try to maintain the state of each CRTC
and update it once intel_fbc_pre_update is called.
As a last note, I don't have gen 2/3 machines to test this code. My
current plan is to enable FBC on just the newer platforms, so this
patch is just an attempt to get the gen 2/3 code at least looking
sane, so if one day someone decide to fix FBC on these platforms, they
may have less work to do.

We'll now call intel_fbc_pre_update instead of intel_fbc_deactivate
during atomic commits. This will continue to guarantee that we
deactivate FBC and it will also update the state checking structures
at the correct time. Then, later, at the point where we were calling
intel_fbc_update, we'll only need to call intel_fbc_post_update.
Also add the proper warnings in case we don't have the appropriate
locks. Daniel mentioned the warnings will have to be removed for async
commits, but let's keep them here while we can.

So now pre_update will be responsible for unconditionally deactivating
FBC and updating the state cache, while post_update will be
responsible for checking if it can be enabled, then enabling it.
This is one more step into proper locking.
Notice that intel_fbc_flush now calls post_update directly. The FBC
flush can only happen for drawing operations - since we explicitly
ignore the flips -, so the FBC state is not expected to have changed
at this point. With this we can just run post_update, which will make
sure we won't deactivate+reactivate FBC as would be the case now if we
called pre_update + post_update.

Per the new atomic locking rules, we need to cache the CRTC, plane and
FB state structures we use so we can access them later without needing
more locks. So do this.
Notice that there are some pieces of the FBC code that look at things
that are only computed during the modeset, so we can't just can't
precompute whether FBC can be activated during the update_state_cache
stage. We may be able to do this later.

We unconditionally disable/update FBC even during the page flip
IOCTLs, and an unconditional disable/update at every atomic commit
touching the primary plane shouldn't impact PC state residency
noticeably. Besides, the code that checks for rotation is a good hint
that we may be forgetting something else, so let's leave all the
decisions to intel_fbc.c, making the code much safer.
Once we have the code to properly make FBC enable/update decisions
based on atomic states, with proper locking, then we'll be able to
evaluate whether it will be worth trying to optimize the cases where a
disable isn't needed.

Before this patch, page flips would call intel_frontbuffer_flip() and
intel_frontbuffer_flip_complete(), which would call intel_fbc_flush(),
which would call intel_fbc_update(). The problem is that drawing
operations also trigger intel_fbc_flush() calls, so it's not
guaranteed that we have the CRTC and FB locks grabbed when
intel_fbc_flush() happens, since the call trace may come from the
rendering path.
We're trying to make the FBC code grab the appropriate CRTC/FB locks,
so split the drawing and the flipping logic in order to achieve that
in later patches. So now the frontbuffer tracking code is just going
to be used for frontbuffer drawing, and intel_fbc_update() is going to
be used directly for actual page flips.
As a note, we don't need to call intel_fbc_flip() during the two
places where we call intel_frontbuffer_flip() since in one of them we
already have an intel_fbc_update() call, and in the other we have the
planes disabled.

We say "dev_priv->fbc.something" way too many times in our code while
we could be saying just "fbc->something" with a previous declaration
of fbc. This has been bothering me for a while but I didn't want to
patch it since I wanted to fix the real problems first. But as I add
more code I keep thinking about it, especially since it makes the code
easier to read and it can make us fit 80 columns easier, so let's just
do the change now.
While at it, also rename from i915_fbc to intel_fbc because the whole
FBC code uses intel_fbc.

The early return inside __intel_fbc_update does not completely check
all the parameters that affect the FBC register values. For example,
we currently lack looking at crtc->adjusted_y (for the fence Y offset)
and all the parameters that affect the CFB size (for i8xx).
Instead of just adding the missing parameters to the check and hoping
that any changes to the fbc_activate functions also come with a
matching change to the __intel_fbc_update check, introduce a new
structure where we store these parameters and use the structure at the
fbc_activate function. Of course, it's still possible to access
everything from dev_priv in those functions, but IMHO the new code
will be harder to break.
v2: Rebase.

Instead of waiting for 50ms, just wait until the next vblank, since
it's the minimum requirement. The whole infrastructure of FBC is based
on vblanks, so waiting for X vblanks instead of X milliseconds sounds
like the correct way to go. Besides, 50ms may be less than a vblank on
super slow modes that may or may not exist.
There are some small improvements in PC state residency (due to the
fact that we're now using 16ms for the common modes instead of 50ms),
but the biggest advantage is still the correctness of being
vblank-based instead of time-based.
v2:
- Rebase after changing the patch order.
- Update the commit message.

- Don't forget to call drm_crtc_vblank_{get,put} (Chris, Ville)

In GuC mode LRC pinning lifetime depends exclusively on the
request liftime. Since that is terminated by the seqno update
that opens up a race condition between GPU finishing writing
out the context image and the driver unpinning the LRC.
To extend the LRC lifetime we will employ a similar approach
to what legacy ringbuffer submission does.
We will start tracking the last submitted context per engine
and keep it pinned until it is replaced by another one.
Note that the driver unload path is a bit fragile and could
benefit greatly from efforts to unify the legacy and exec
list submission code paths.
At the moment i915_gem_context_fini has special casing for the
two which are potentialy not needed, and also depends on
i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer running before itself.
v2:
* Move pinning into engine->emit_request and actually fix
the reference/unreference logic. (Chris Wilson)
* ring->dev can be NULL on driver unload so use a different
route towards it.
v3:
* Rebase.
* Handle the reset path. (Chris Wilson)
* Exclude default context from the pinning - it is impossible
to get it right before default context special casing in
general is eliminated.
v4:
* Rebased & moved context tracking to
intel_logical_ring_advance_and_submit.

The only device specific dependency of the stolen memory setup is the
MMIO mapping and the stolen memory size. Both are already available in
i915_gtt_init(), so move the stolen initialization to there. The
clean-up code for i915_gtt_init() is in i915_global_gtt_cleanup(), so
move the stolen memory clean-up code there too.
This will be needed by an upcoming patch that needs the details of the
memory we reserve, but the change is also part of our generic goal to
move the initialization of resources with no or little dependencies on
other device specific resources towards the beginning of the init
sequence.
