[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/5] Per client engine busyness

[Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com>]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

Another re-spin of the per-client engine busyness series.

Review feedback from last round has been addressed* and the tracking simplified.

(*Apart from re-using the ctx->idr_lock for the global toggle, I kept using
struct mutext for that.)

Internally we track time spent on engines for each struct intel_context. This
can serve as a building block for several features from the want list:
smarter scheduler decisions, getrusage(2)-like per-GEM-context functionality
wanted by some customers, cgroups controller, dynamic SSEU tuning,...

Externally, in sysfs, we expose time spent on GPU per client and per engine
class.

There is also a global toggle to enable this extra tracking although it is open
whether it is warranted and we should not just always track.

Sysfs interface enables us to implement a "top-like" tool for GPU tasks. Or with
a "screenshot":

Implementation wise we add a a bunch of files in sysfs like:

	# cd /sys/class/drm/card0/clients/
	# tree
	.
	├── 7
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 8
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 9
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	└── enable_stats

Files in 'busy' directories are numbered using the engine class ABI values and
they contain accumulated nanoseconds each client spent on engines of a
respective class.

I will post the corresponding patch to intel_gpu_top for reference as well.
