[PATCH v6 00/13] gpu: nova: Export parameters from nova-core to nova-drm

[Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>]

This patch series adds some basic GPU properties via a new GPU info
ioctl. The goal is to provide enough information for a basic CUDA
deviceQuery sample, and the equivalent Mesa device properties, to be
populated from nova-drm.

It builds on the "drm: Higher-Ranked Lifetime private data" series[1] to
correctly manage lifetimes of registration data shared between DRM,
auxbus and nova-core, and on "ForLt/CovariantForLt split, auxiliary
closure API and DevresLt"[2]. Both are now in drm-rust-next.

This series exposes a latent build breakage with
CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y, as nothing from the uapi crate is exported
to modules. The fix for this has been posted as a standalone patch at [3].

Properties are exported via a new NovaCoreApi type which implements
methods to read data from the GPU. This has been implemented in a separate
module to make the public API implementations obvious and to keep them in
one place. Auxiliary bus drivers obtain a NovaCoreApiHandle using
NovaCoreApi::of() and access the NovaCoreApi through a closure. This avoids
assuming registration data is covariant. This required a small change to
the auxiliary bus registration_data_with() closure signature, which is the
first patch.

The handle is stored as part of the DRM registration data and used to
interact with the GPU via the nova-core driver.

A new info ioctl is introduced which provides an info type field and a
method for reading extendable structs containing GPU information. The GPU
info reports the architecture and an opaque chip identifier along with
the usable VRAM size, the GPU names and the GID.

This series can be tested using drm-test[4]. The merge request adding the
tests[5] will be updated once this has been posted. A pull request for Mesa
has also been raised but is out of date. That will be updated once this
series has been merged.

Changes since v5:

 - Export an opaque chipid alongside the architecture instead of the
   implementation.
 - Access NovaCoreApi through a closure based NovaCoreApiHandle using
   ForLt as it will not remain covariant, based on a diff from Danilo.
   Add the auxiliary bus change suggested by Gary that lets the closure
   return covariant sub-fields directly
 - Expose Spec and the GSP static info via accessors rather than
   forwarding methods, and use the validated GPU name accessors
 - Rename struct drm_nova_gpu_info to drm_nova_info_gpu for consistency
   and document the NULL data pointer size query
 - Handle the size query in write_info()
 - Address further review comments

Changes since v4:

 - No longer export chip-id, instead export architecture and implementation
 - Add a separate info ioctl with types to read GPU info as suggested by
   Danilo

Changes since v3:

 - Use an ioctl to return all parameters rather than multiple key/value
   queries

Changes since v2:

 - Addressed review Danilo and Alex
 - Minor renames to better align with HW based on internal feedback

Changes since v1:

 - Address review comments from Danilo
 - Add an API call to read VRAM PCI BAR size using nova-core
