As every i915_active_request should be serialised by a dedicated lock,
i915_active consists of a tree of locks; one for each node. Markup up
the i915_active_request with what lock is supposed to be guarding it so
that we can verify that the serialised updated are indeed serialised.

We use the request pointer inside the i915_active_node as the indicator
of the barrier's status; we mark it as used during
i915_request_add_active_barriers(), and search for an available barrier
in reuse_idle_barrier(). That check must be carefully serialised to
ensure we do use an engine for the barrier and not just a random
pointer. (Along the other reuse path, we are fully serialised by the
timeline->mutex.) The acquisition of the barrier itself is ordered through
the strong memory barrier in llist_del_all().

Move the timeline from being inside the intel_ring to intel_context
itself. This saves much pointer dancing and makes the relations of the
context to its timeline much clearer.

By placing our idle-barriers in the i915_active fence tree, we expose
those for reuse by other components that are issuing requests along the
kernel_context. Reusing the proto-barrier active_node is perfectly fine
as the new request implies a context-switch, and so an opportune point
to run the idle-barrier. However, the proto-barrier is not equivalent
to a normal active_node and care must be taken to avoid dereferencing the
ERR_PTR used as its request marker.

Currently we use the engine->active.lock to ensure that the request is
not retired as we capture the data. However, we only need to ensure that
the vma are not removed prior to use acquiring their contents, and
since we have already relinquished our stop-machine protection, we
assume that the user will not be overwriting the contents before we are
able to record them.
In order to capture the vma outside of the spinlock, we acquire a
reference and mark the vma as active to prevent it from being unbound.
However, since it is tricky allocate an entry in the fence tree (doing
so would require taking a mutex) while inside the engine spinlock, we
use an atomic bit and special case the handling for i915_active_wait.
The core benefit is that we can use some non-atomic methods for mapping
the device pages, we can remove the slow compression phase out of atomic
context (i.e. stop antagonising the nmi-watchdog), and no we longer need
large reserves of atomic pages.

If we try to wait on an i915_active from within a critical section, it
will remain busy (such as if we are shrinking from within
i915_active_ref). Report the failure so that we do not proceed thinking
it is idle.

If we introduce a callback for i915_active that is only called the first
time we use the i915_active and is symmetrically paired with the
i915_active.retire callback, we can replace the open-coded and
non-atomic implementations -- which will be very fragile (i.e. broken)
upon removing the struct_mutex serialisation.

Provide runtime asserts and tracking of i915_active via debugobjects.
For example, this should allow us to check that the i915_active is only
active when we expect it to be and is never freed too early.
One consequence is that, for simplicity, we no longer allow i915_active
to be on-stack which only affected the selftests.

Though we pin the context first before taking the pm wakeref, during
retire we need to unpin before dropping the pm wakeref (breaking the
"natural" onion). During the unpin, we may need to attach a cleanup
operation on to the engine wakeref, ergo we want to keep the engine
awake until after the unpin.
v2: Push the engine wakeref into the barrier so we keep the onion unwind
ordering in the request itself

We need to keep the context image pinned in memory until after the GPU
has finished writing into it. Since it continues to write as we signal
the final breadcrumb, we need to keep it pinned until the request after
it is complete. Currently we know the order in which requests execute on
each engine, and so to remove that presumption we need to identify a
request/context-switch we know must occur after our completion. Any
request queued after the signal must imply a context switch, for
simplicity we use a fresh request from the kernel context.
The sequence of operations for keeping the context pinned until saved is:
- On context activation, we preallocate a node for each physical engine
the context may operate on. This is to avoid allocations during
unpinning, which may be from inside FS_RECLAIM context (aka the
shrinker)
- On context deactivation on retirement of the last active request (which
is before we know the context has been saved), we add the
preallocated node onto a barrier list on each engine
- On engine idling, we emit a switch to kernel context. When this
switch completes, we know that all previous contexts must have been
saved, and so on retiring this request we can finally unpin all the
contexts that were marked as deactivated prior to the switch.
We can enhance this in future by flushing all the idle contexts on a
regular heartbeat pulse of a switch to kernel context, which will also
be used to check for hung engines.

Rather than manually add every new global into each hook, use
i915_global_register() function and keep a list of registered globals to
invoke instead.
However, I haven't found a way for random drivers to add an .init table
to avoid having to manually add ourselves to i915_globals_init() each
time.

As kmem_caches share the same properties (size, allocation/free behaviour)
for all potential devices, we can use global caches. While this
potential has worse fragmentation behaviour (one can argue that
different devices would have different activity lifetimes, but you can
also argue that activity is temporal across the system) it is the
default behaviour of the system at large to amalgamate matching caches.
The benefit for us is much reduced pointer dancing along the frequent
allocation paths.
v2: Defer shrinking until after a global grace period for futureproofing
multiple consumers of the slab caches, similar to the current strategy
for avoiding shrinking too early.

If we allocate while iterating the rbtree of active nodes, we may hit
the shrinker and so retire the i915_active, reaping the rbtree. Modifying
the rbtree as we iterate is not good behaviour, so acquire the
i915_active first to keep the tree intact whenever we allocate.

Looking forward, we need to break the struct_mutex dependency on
i915_gem_active. In the meantime, external use of i915_gem_active is
quite beguiling, little do new users suspect that it implies a barrier
as each request it tracks must be ordered wrt the previous one. As one
of many, it can be used to track activity across multiple timelines, a
shared fence, which fits our unordered request submission much better. We
need to steer external users away from the singular, exclusive fence
imposed by i915_gem_active to i915_active instead. As part of that
process, we move i915_gem_active out of i915_request.c into
i915_active.c to start separating the two concepts, and rename it to
i915_active_request (both to tie it to the concept of tracking just one
request, and to give it a longer, less appealing name).

As soon as we detect that the active tracker is idle and we prepare to
call the retire callback, release the storage for our tree of
per-timeline nodes. We expect these to be infrequently used and quick
to allocate, so there is little benefit in keeping the tree cached and
we would prefer to return the pages back to the system in a timely
fashion.
This also means that when we finalize the struct as a whole, we know as
the activity tracker must be idle, the tree has already been released.
Indeed we can reduce i915_active_fini() just to the assertions that there
is nothing to do.

We currently track GPU memory usage inside VMA, such that we never
release memory used by the GPU until after it has finished accessing it.
However, we may want to track other resources aside from VMA, or we may
want to split a VMA into multiple independent regions and track each
separately. For this purpose, generalise our request tracking (akin to
struct reservation_object) so that we can embed it into other objects.
