drm/xe/xe3p: Bump offset for PPHWSP software scratch area
This commit defines a base offset of dword 128 for the driver's PPHWSP
software scratch area and expresses the flush and PXP invalidation
scratch addresses relative to it.

[Severity: High]
Does setting LRC_PPHWSP_SCRATCH_BASE to (128 * 4) make
LRC_PPHWSP_FLUSH_INVAL_SCRATCH_ADDR collide with
LRC_CTX_JOB_TIMESTAMP_OFFSET in drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_lrc.c?
drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_lrc.c:
#define LRC_CTX_JOB_TIMESTAMP_OFFSET 512
...
static u32 __xe_lrc_ctx_job_timestamp_offset(struct xe_lrc *lrc)
{
/* This is stored in the driver-defined portion of PPHWSP */
return xe_lrc_pphwsp_offset(lrc) + LRC_CTX_JOB_TIMESTAMP_OFFSET;
}
In __emit_job_gen12_render_compute(), emit_copy_timestamp() stores the
job start timestamp at PPHWSP + 512, and emit_pipe_invalidate()
immediately follows with a PIPE_CONTROL_STORE_DATA_INDEX write of 0 to
PPHWSP + LRC_PPHWSP_FLUSH_INVAL_SCRATCH_ADDR (now also 512). That
zeroes ctx_job_timestamp before the batch runs, causing check_timeout()
in drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_guc_submit.c to treat the total cumulative
context runtime as the current job's runtime and trigger false-positive
job timeouts and engine resets.
