[Intel-gfx] [RFC 0/8] 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. Highlights from this
version:

 * Two patches added on top of the series to provide the data in GuC mode.
   (For warnings and limitations please read the respective commit messages.)
 * Refactor to introduce a notion of i915_drm_client and move to separate source
   file.

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.

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


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.
