[PATCH 0/9] HW contest support for Ironlake

[PATCH 0/9] HW contest support for Ironlake

[Ben Widawsky]

By the request of Ken, and Chris, I've added support for HW contexts to
Ironlake. This is not the first time I've done this, but I think I'll
skip the somewhat ugly history on the matter.

Our existing support for Ironlake sets up 2 contexts, the powerctx, and
the renderctx. The former is stored in special memory on GEN6+, and the
latter is *extremely* similar to the way we use default context on GEN6+
(ie. if users don't opt in to contexts, they are using it even if they
don't realize).

The patch series first tries to tie that renderctx into our existing
i915 context code, and then rips out the old renderctx. Powerctx is left
alone since it still really is a special case.

Finally, in the series I reenable rc6 on ILK. I've never had an issue
with this on my ILK, but I recommend anyone testing on it who sees
issues to try to disable it via modparam firstly.

The patch series is minimally tested. I told Chris and Ken at the
offset, they'd need to do the heavy lifting on the testing front.

[PATCH 1/9] drm/i915: move ilk rc6 context setup

[Ben Widawsky]

Put it with the other context code since upcoming rework/enabling will
be easier to handle with the similar code.

Also, remove the comment which is now common knowledge, and incorrect,
given that the powerctx is really the one that allows us to accomplish
this on Ironlake.

[PATCH 2/9] drm/i915: Convert renderctx to a regular context

[Ben Widawsky]

The medium term plan is to just use the existing context code on ILK as
well. The conversion just assists. Therefore, this is somewhat transient
as I plan to kill renderctx quite soon.

Make this a bit more consistent style wise. You are mixing here !obj and
obj == NULL, along with a superfluous else{}.

[PATCH 4/9] drm/i915: Add gen5 support to mi_set_context

[Ben Widawsky]

It's similar enough to the other gens that we don't really need a
distinct function to do it.

NOTE: The new function removes the MI_FLUSH that was at the end of the
old Ironlake switching code. Recent docs can find neither the
requirement for the MI_FLUSH or the MI_SUSPEND_FLUSH. Since I remember
clearly seeing the latter in a doc at one point however, I am going to
leave it there. I had Ken look at his docs as well, and he could also
find no note of either.

NOTE2: Remember to put NOTE1 in the commit where we start using the new
function for ILK.

[PATCH 5/9] drm/i915: Use do_switch for ILK renderctx

[Ben Widawsky]

This patch starts the migration to the core context code for Ironlake
renderctx. It is an excellent place for a bisection point due to
complaining hardware, though notice that our sample size is quite
limited given that only machines with RC6 turned on could notice
problems.

NOTE: As mentioned in a previous commit, this removes an MI_FLUSH. If
issues occur, try adding that to the end of mi_set_context before
complaining.

[PATCH 6/9] drm/i915: HW contexts for ILK

[Ben Widawsky]

Turn on hardware contexts for Ironlake. This leaves the code in an
awkward place where renderctx accomplishes nothing, but the code
compiles and runs, and it makes the series overall more bisectable.

[PATCH 7/9] drm/i915: Use only the default context for ILK

[Ben Widawsky]

The ILK renderctx predates the generic i915 context code. With the
patches before this, I believe I have properly eased the transition to
simply using the regular default context instead of the special
renderctx.

This untangles the weirdness from the last commit, and finishes the
transition.

The powerctx is still needed since that is a special ILK only thing. VLV
has a similar funkiness, so we could probably try to join those two, but
I see no point.

[PATCH 8/9] drm/i915: Restore ILK powerctx pin attributes

[Ben Widawsky]

Now that I've killed renderctx, and the ILK pm code no longer has
anything shared with the regular i915 context code, make the pin
arguments the same as how they were before I started.

I do not know the reason for the original pin arguments, so it's totally
possible this commit isn't necessary (and conversely that I temporarily
broke things earlier in the patch series; though I saw no such result).
However, since ILK RC6 worked very well for those of us where it worked,
I think messing with any of the code is unjustified.

We should move it out of the aperture as there is no reason for this to
be GTT accessible. That requires an extra patch to request top-down
allocation.

I am perfectly fine with dropping this patch, which I think solves the
problem. I see no reason to go back to a 4k aligned alloc, do you?

It still introduces a fair amount of fragmentation - but you can argue
that we should be allocating enough single pages for it not to matter.
At some point, I am going to notice the hole and wonder what insanity
lies within. ;-)

However, just dropping the patch isn't quite enough, we need the
'prefer top-down allocations for !mappable' as well to move it out of
the aperture. But that is a patch for another time.

I think this commit should cite the last commit which reverted rc6 on ilk:

commit 6567d748c4e94e3481e523803ec07ebd825c80d6
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Sat Nov 10 10:00:06 2012 +0000

    Revert "drm/i915: enable rc6 on ilk again"

I agree that we could try this again (at least since the relocation
regression in 3.7 is fixed), but iirc it was rather unmistakably broken
with vt-d enabled, see:

commit cd7988eea561a70a4f98e431c1395f913672d626
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date:   Sun Aug 26 20:33:18 2012 +0200

    drm/i915: disable rc6 on ilk when vt-d is enabled

So I think you need to pimp your commit a bit to essentially revert
6567d748c4e94e3481e523803 and also cite the above two commits.

Cheers, Daniel

[PATCH] i965: Gen5: Use HW contexts on Ironlake

[Ben Widawsky]

NOTE: The error messages might need updating if the patches don't make
3.11.

NOTE2: I'm not sure if mesa devs want to make HW contexts a hard
requirement on GEN5, as it is on GEN6+. I think letting the patches soak
for a few releases first, won't be a bad idea.

Why do I always forget this...?

You guys can easily clone the kernel sources here for easier testing:

[PATCH 0/9] HW context support for Ironlake (was: Re: [PATCH 0/9] HW contest support for Ironlake)

[Ben Widawsky]

Changed the mail subject... I'm not even sure what HW Contest support
might be.

It's a neat series, killing the special case for renderctx is a big
improvement.

My initial impression is that it seems to prevent IPS from kicking in
and speeding up the igfx, so peak performance is 2x slower than before
applying the series.

Are you sure this isn't just another attempt to get a module parameter
to shut it off :P

What's the benchmark - I'll take a look when I get back on my ILK.
Chris(f), Ken - maybe you guys can have a looksee?

A static renderctx I can bear. :)

I do wonder if my machine is simply overheating at the moment, though.
It might just a quirk of environmental conditions rather than something
more nefarious.

I first noticed the problem when fishietank never speeded up, but it
affects everything from scrolling in firefox to aa10text.

As noted today on IRC... I'm not really able to reproduce this result. I
see /something/ going on, but can't say conclusively it's so bad. Also
as discussed, please try without RC6, and if that doesn't help, please
try to bisect since I can't really see any other patch changing much.
