Currently the self refresh idle timer is a const set by the crtc. This
is fine if the self refresh entry/exit times are well-known for all
panels used on that crtc. However panels and workloads can vary quite a
bit, and a timeout which works well for one doesn't work well for
another.
In the extreme, if the timeout is too short we could get in a situation
where the self refresh exits are taking so long we queue up a self refresh
entry before the exit commit is even finished.
This patch changes the idle timeout to a moving average of the entry
times + a moving average of exit times + the crtc constant.
This patch was tested on rockchip, with a kevin CrOS panel the idle
delay averages out to about ~235ms (35 entry + 100 exit + 100 const). On
the same board, the bob panel idle delay lands around ~340ms (90 entry
+ 150 exit + 100 const).
WRT the dedicated mutex in self_refresh_data, it would be nice if we
could rely on drm_crtc.mutex to protect the average times, but there are
a few reasons why a separate lock is a better choice:
- We can't rely on drm_crtc.mutex being held if we're doing a nonblocking
commit
- We can't grab drm_crtc.mutex since drm_modeset_lock() doesn't tell us
whether the lock was already held in the acquire context (it eats
-EALREADY), so we can't tell if we should drop it or not
- We don't need such a heavy-handed lock for what we're trying to do,
commit ordering doesn't matter, so a point-of-use lock will be less
contentious

Changes in v2:
- Migrate locking explanation from comment to commit msg (Daniel)
- Turf constant entry delay and multiply the avg times by 2 (Daniel)
If state allocation fails, we still try to give back the reference on
it. Also initialize ret in case the crtc is not enabled and we hit the
eject button.

This test is flipped around so it either leads to a memory leak or a
NULL dereference.

This patch adds a new drm helper library to help drivers implement
self refresh. Drivers choosing to use it will register crtcs and
will receive callbacks when it's time to enter or exit self refresh
mode.
In its current form, it has a timer which will trigger after a
driver-specified amount of inactivity. When the timer triggers, the
helpers will submit a new atomic commit to shut the refreshing pipe
off. On the next atomic commit, the drm core will revert the self
refresh state and bring everything back up to be actively driven.
From the driver's perspective, this works like a regular disable/enable
cycle. The driver need only check the 'self_refresh_active' state in
crtc_state. It should initiate self refresh mode on the panel and enter
an off or low-power state.
Changes in v2:
- s/psr/self_refresh/ (Daniel)
- integrated the psr exit into the commit that wakes it up (Jose/Daniel)
- made the psr state per-crtc (Jose/Daniel)
Changes in v3:
- Remove the self_refresh_(active|changed) from connector state (Daniel)
- Simplify loop in drm_self_refresh_helper_alter_state (Daniel)
- Improve self_refresh_aware comment (Daniel)
- s/self_refresh_state/self_refresh_data/ (Daniel)
Changes in v4:
- Move docbook location below panel (Daniel)
- Improve docbook with references and more detailed explanation (Daniel)
- Instead of register/unregister, use init/cleanup (Daniel)
Changes in v5:
- Resolved conflict in drm_atomic_helper.c #include block
- Resolved conflict in rst with HDCP helper docs
Changes in v6:
- Fix include ordering, clean up forward declarations (Sam)
