Soon we want to gut a lot of our existing assumptions how many address
spaces an object can live in, and in doing so, embed the drm_mm_node in
the object (and later the VMA).
It's possible in the future we'll want to add more getter/setter
methods, but for now this is enough to enable the VMAs.

With the introduction of per-process GTT space, the hardware designers
thought it wise to also limit the ability to write to MMIO space to only
a "secure" batch buffer. The ability to rewrite registers is the only
way to program the hardware to perform certain operations like scanline
waits (required for tear-free windowed updates). So we either have a
choice of adding an interface to perform those synchronized updates
inside the kernel, or we permit certain processes the ability to write
to the "safe" registers from within its command stream. This patch
exposes the ability to submit a SECURE batch buffer to
DRM_ROOT_ONLY|DRM_MASTER processes.
v2: Haswell split up bit8 into a ppgtt bit (still bit8) and a security
bit (bit 13, accidentally not set). Also add a comment explaining why
secure batches need a global gtt binding.

We've had and still have too many issues where the gpu turbo doesn't
quite to what it's supposed to do (or what we want it to do).
Adding a tracepoint to track when the desired gpu frequency changes
should help a lot in characterizing and understanding problematic
workloads.
Also, this should be fairly interesting for power tuning (and
especially noticing when the gpu is stuck in high frequencies, as has
happened in the past) and hence for integration into powertop and
similar tools.

When dealing with a working set larger than the GATT, or even the
mappable aperture when touching through the GTT, we end up with evicting
objects only to rebind them at a new offset again later. Moving an
object into and out of the GTT requires clflushing the pages, thus
causing a double-clflush penalty for rebinding.
To avoid having to clflush on rebinding, we can track the pages as they
are evicted from the GTT and only relinquish those pages on memory
pressure.
As usual, if it were not for the handling of out-of-memory condition and
having to manually shrink our own bo caches, it would be a net reduction
of code. Alas.
Note: The patch also contains a few changes to the last-hope
evict_everything logic in i916_gem_execbuffer.c - we no longer try to
only evict the purgeable stuff in a first try (since that's superflous
and only helps in OOM corner-cases, not fragmented-gtt trashing
situations).
Also, the extraction of the get_pages retry loop from bind_to_gtt (and
other callsites) to get_pages should imo have been a separate patch.
v2: Ditch the newly added put_pages (for unbound objects only) in
i915_gem_reset. A quick irc discussion hasn't revealed any important
reason for this, so if we need this, I'd like to have a git blame'able
explanation for it.
v3: Undo the s/drm_malloc_ab/kmalloc/ in get_pages that Chris noticed.

The trace events adds whether or not the wait was blocking. Blocking in
this case means to hold struct_mutex (ie. no new work can be submitted
during the wait). The information is inherently racy.
The blocking information is racy since mutex_is_locked doesn't check
that the current thread holds the lock. The only other option would be
to pass the boolean information of whether or not the class was blocking
down through the stack which is less desirable.
v2: Don't do a trace event per loop. (Chris)
Only get blocking/non-blocking info (Chris)

As the tracepoint is now decoupled from when the actual register is
assigned and was never complemented by detailing when the object lost
its fence, it has outlived its limited usefulness. Profiling the actual
stalls is a far more profitable venture anyway.

If we trigger a tracepoint for batch buffer submission, it is a reasonable
assumption that we wish to also trace the batch buffer completion. So in
order to capture the completion events, we need to enable irqs... However,
we cannot rely on the completion event to disable the irq later, so we
defer the irq disable to the retire request.

By adding tracepoint equivalents for WATCH_BUF/EXEC we are able to monitor
the lifetimes of objects, requests and significant events. These events can
then be probed using the tracing frameworks, such as systemtap and, in
particular, perf.
For example to record the stack trace for every GPU stall during a run, use
$ perf record -e i915:i915_gem_request_wait_begin -c 1 -g
And
$ perf report
to view the results.
