Chris has discovered that RC6, RC6p and RC6pp counters are mutually
exclusive, and even that on some SNB SKUs you get RC6p increasing, and on
the others RC6.
Furthermore RC6p and RC6pp were only present starting from GEN6 until,
GEN7, not including Haswell.
All this combined makes it questionable whether we need to reserve new ABI
for these counters. One idea was to just combine them all under the RC6
counter to simplify things for userspace. So that is what this patch does.

Instead of sleeping for a fixed 1ms (roughly, depending on timer slack),
start with a small sleep and exponentially increase the sleep on each
cycle.
A good example of a beneficiary is the guc mmio communication channel.
Typically we expect (and so spin) for 10us for a quick response, but this
doesn't cover everything and so sometimes we fallback to the millisecond+
sleep. This incurs a significant delay in time-critical operations like
preemption (igt/gem_exec_latency), which can be improved significantly by
using a small sleep after the spin fails.
We've made this suggestion many times, but had little experimental data
to support adding the complexity.
v2: Bump the minimum usleep to 10us on advice of
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt (Tvrko)
v3: Specify min, max range for usleep intervals -- some code may
crucially depend upon and so want to specify the sleep pattern.

Averaging with the previous sample brings a small statistical improvement
to sampling counters, but can leek a little bit of state from a current
client to the next which mulls the border between past and present for
observing clients.
This is because on event enable clients record the current counter value
and use it as reference, but with rapid off-on event cycles, and due the
delayed nature of sampling timer self-disarm, previous sample value does
not get cleared under these circumstances.
Solution is to stop averaging with the previous sample. This has a small
downside of losing some precision with short and spiky signals, but the
alternatives look too complicated for the benefit.

The legacy context switch for ringbuffer submission is multistaged,
where each of those stages may fail. However, we were updating global
state after some stages, and so we had to force the incomplete request
to be submitted because we could not unwind. Save the global state
before performing the switches, and so enable us to unwind back to the
previous global state should any phase fail. We then must cancel the
request instead of submitting it should the construction fail.

We can use engine busy stats instead of the sampling timer for
better accuracy.
By doing this we replace the stohastic sampling with busyness
metric derived directly from engine activity. This is context
switch interrupt driven, so as accurate as we can get from
software tracking.
As a secondary benefit, we can also not run the sampling timer
in cases only busyness metric is enabled.

Track total time requests have been executing on the hardware.
We add new kernel API to allow software tracking of time GPU
engines are spending executing requests.
Both per-engine and global API is added with the latter also
being exported for use by external users.
v2:
* Squashed with the internal API.
* Dropped static key.
* Made per-engine.
* Store time in monotonic ktime.
v3: Moved stats clearing to disable.
v4:
* Comments.
* Don't export the API just yet.

* Drop engine aggregate stats for now.
* Account initial busy period after enabling stats.
v7:

v8:
* Move context in notification after the notifier. (Chris Wilson)
v9:
In cases where stats tracking is getting disabled while there is
an active context on an engine, add up the current value to the
total. This also implies we don't clear the total when tracking
is disabled any longer. There is no real need to do so because
we define the stats as relative while enabled, meaning
comparison between two samples while tracking is enabled is the
valid usage. However, when busy stats will later be plugged into
the perf PMU API, it is beneficial to not reset the total, since
the PMU core likes to do some counter disable/enable cycles on
startup, and while doing so during a single long context
executing on an engine we would lose some accuracy and so make
unit testing more difficult than needs to be.

The first goal is to be able to measure GPU (and invidual ring) busyness
without having to poll registers from userspace. (Which not only incurs
holding the forcewake lock indefinitely, perturbing the system, but also
runs the risk of hanging the machine.) As an alternative we can use the
perf event counter interface to sample the ring registers periodically
and send those results to userspace.
Functionality we are exporting to userspace is via the existing perf PMU
API and can be exercised via the existing tools. For example:
perf stat -a -e i915/rcs0-busy/ -I 1000
Will print the render engine busynnes once per second. All the performance
counters can be enumerated (perf list) and have their unit of measure
correctly reported in sysfs.
v1-v2 (Chris Wilson):
v2: Use a common timer for the ring sampling.
v3: (Tvrtko Ursulin)
* Decouple uAPI from i915 engine ids.
* Complete uAPI defines.
* Refactor some code to helpers for clarity.
* Skip sampling disabled engines.
* Expose counters in sysfs.
* Pass in fake regs to avoid null ptr deref in perf core.
* Convert to class/instance uAPI.
* Use shared driver code for rc6 residency, power and frequency.
v4: (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
* Register PMU with .task_ctx_nr=perf_invalid_context
* Expose cpumask for the PMU with the single CPU in the mask
* Properly support pmu->stop(): it should call pmu->read()
* Properly support pmu->del(): it should call stop(event, PERF_EF_UPDATE)
* Introduce refcounting of event subscriptions.
* Make pmu.busy_stats a refcounter to avoid busy stats going away
with some deleted event.
* Expose cpumask for i915 PMU to avoid multiple events creation of
the same type followed by counter aggregation by perf-stat.
* Track CPUs getting online/offline to migrate perf context. If (likely)
cpumask will initially set CPU0, CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 will be
needed to see effect of CPU status tracking.
* End result is that only global events are supported and perf stat
works correctly.
* Deny perf driver level sampling - it is prohibited for uncore PMU.
v5: (Tvrtko Ursulin)
* Don't hardcode number of engine samplers.
* Rewrite event ref-counting for correctness and simplicity.
* Store initial counter value when starting already enabled events
to correctly report values to all listeners.
* Fix RC6 residency readout.
* Comments, GPL header.
v6:
* Add missing entry to v4 changelog.
* Fix accounting in CPU hotplug case by copying the approach from
arch/x86/events/intel/cstate.c. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
v7:
* Log failure message only on failure.
* Remove CPU hotplug notification state on unregister.
v8:
* Fix error unwind on failed registration.
* Checkpatch cleanup.
v9:
* Drop the energy metric, it is available via intel_rapl_perf.
(Ville Syrjälä)
* Use HAS_RC6(p). (Chris Wilson)
* Handle unsupported non-engine events. (Dmitry Rogozhkin)
* Rebase for intel_rc6_residency_ns needing caller managed
runtime pm.
* Drop HAS_RC6 checks from the read callback since creating those
events will be rejected at init time already.
* Add counter units to sysfs so perf stat output is nicer.
* Cleanup the attribute tables for brevity and readability.
v10:
* Fixed queued accounting.
v11:
* Move intel_engine_lookup_user to intel_engine_cs.c
* Commit update. (Joonas Lahtinen)
v12:
* More accurate sampling. (Chris Wilson)
* Store and report frequency in MHz for better usability from
perf stat.
* Removed metrics: queued, interrupts, rc6 counters.
* Sample engine busyness based on seqno difference only
for less MMIO (and forcewake) on all platforms. (Chris Wilson)
v13:
* Comment spelling, use mul_u32_u32 to work around potential GCC
issue and somne code alignment changes. (Chris Wilson)
v14:
* Rebase.
v15:
* Rebase for RPS refactoring.
v16:
* Use the dynamic slot in the CPU hotplug state machine so that we are
free to setup our state as multi-instance. Previously we were re-using
the CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_UNCORE_ONLINE slot which is neither used as
multi-instance, nor owned by our driver to start with.
* Register the CPU hotplug handlers after the PMU, otherwise the callback
will get called before the PMU is initialized which can end up in
perf_pmu_migrate_context with an un-initialized base.
* Added workaround for a probable bug in cpuhp core.
v17:
* Remove workaround for the cpuhp bug.
v18:
* Rebase for drm_i915_gem_engine_class getting upstream before us.
v19:
* Rebase. (trivial)
