[PATCH v4 1/6] drm/i915/skl: Add support for the SAGV, fix underrun hangs

[Lyude]

Since the watermark calculations for Skylake are still broken, we're apt
to hitting underruns very easily under multi-monitor configurations.
While it would be lovely if this was fixed, it's not. Another problem
that's been coming from this however, is the mysterious issue of
underruns causing full system hangs. An easy way to reproduce this with
a skylake system:

- Get a laptop with a skylake GPU, and hook up two external monitors to
  it
- Move the cursor from the built-in LCD to one of the external displays
  as quickly as you can
- You'll get a few pipe underruns, and eventually the entire system will
  just freeze.

After doing a lot of investigation and reading through the bspec, I
found the existence of the SAGV, which is responsible for adjusting the
system agent voltage and clock frequencies depending on how much power
we need. According to the bspec:

"The display engine access to system memory is blocked during the
 adjustment time. SAGV defaults to enabled. Software must use the
 GT-driver pcode mailbox to disable SAGV when the display engine is not
 able to tolerate the blocking time."

The rest of the bspec goes on to explain that software can simply leave
the SAGV enabled, and disable it when we use interlaced pipes/have more
then one pipe active.

Sure enough, with this patchset the system hangs resulting from pipe
underruns on Skylake have completely vanished on my T460s. Additionally,
the bspec mentions turning off the SAGV	with more then one pipe enabled
as a workaround for display underruns. While this patch doesn't entirely
fix that, it looks like it does improve the situation a little bit so
it's likely this is going to be required to make watermarks on Skylake
fully functional.

Changes since v4:
 - Use is_power_of_2 against active_crtcs to check whether we have > 1
   pipe enabled
 - Fix skl_sagv_get_hw_state(): (temp & 0x1) indicates disabled, 0x0
   enabled
 - Call skl_sagv_enable/disable() from pre/post-plane updates
Changes since v3:
 - Use time_before() to compare timeout to jiffies
Changes since v2:
 - Really apply minor style nitpicks to patch this time
Changes since v1:
 - Added comments about this probably being one of the requirements to
   fixing Skylake's watermark issues
 - Minor style nitpicks from Matt Roper
 - Disable these functions on Broxton, since it doesn't have an SAGV

[PATCH v4 1/6] drm/i915/skl: Add support for the SAGV, fix underrun hangs

[Lyude]

Since the watermark calculations for Skylake are still broken, we're apt
to hitting underruns very easily under multi-monitor configurations.
While it would be lovely if this was fixed, it's not. Another problem
that's been coming from this however, is the mysterious issue of

a skylake system:

- Get a laptop with a skylake GPU, and hook up two external monitors to
  it
- Move the cursor from the built-in LCD to one of the external displays
  as quickly as you can
- You'll get a few pipe underruns, and eventually the entire system will
  just freeze.

After doing a lot of investigation and reading through the bspec, I

system agent voltage and clock frequencies depending on how much power
we need. According to the bspec:

"The display engine access to system memory is blocked during the

 GT-driver pcode mailbox to disable SAGV when the display engine is not
 able to tolerate the blocking time."

The rest of the bspec goes on to explain that software can simply leave
the SAGV enabled, and disable it when we use interlaced pipes/have more
then one pipe active.

Sure enough, with this patchset the system hangs resulting from pipe
underruns on Skylake have completely vanished on my T460s. Additionally,
the bspec mentions turning off the SAGV	with more then one pipe enabled
as a workaround for display underruns. While this patch doesn't entirely

We use hweight32 for counting bits elsewhere in the driver, which is a
little bit more self-explanatory, but I guess is_power_of_2 works too.

I think Chris pointed out on a previous iteration that it would be
easier / cleaner to move the contents of this loop out to a new function
that returns the value of the read and then just call

        ret = wait_for(do_sagv_disable(...), 1);
        if (ret)
                DRM_ERROR("Timeout");

We use hweight32 for counting bits elsewhere in the driver, which is a
little bit more self-explanatory, but I guess is_power_of_2 works too.

I think Chris pointed out on a previous iteration that it would be
easier / cleaner to move the contents of this loop out to a new function
that returns the value of the read and then just call

        ret = wait_for(do_sagv_disable(...), 1);
        if (ret)
                DRM_ERROR("Timeout");

This seems to not do what you want it to do, if I'm reading your changes
and the original code correct:

Here you are enabling the sagv if the *old* state allows it
(0 or 1 pipes active).

But judging from previous patches / the commit msg the
intent is to enable the sag if the *new* state allows
it, not the old one.

See e.g. the checks for calling intel_post_enable_primary()
which use both primary_state and old_primary_state

Also if you're going to respin you may want to switch
to using hweight as mentioned before, then you can simply
do something like (hamming_weight(active_crtcs) <= 1) as
condition to check for 0 or 1 active crtcs instead of
having 2 checks. Note please double check my logic here.

Same thing, you're disabling the sagv if the old state
disallows it, but I believe you should be looking at the new
state instead.

[PATCH v4 2/6] drm/i915/gen9: Only copy WM results for changed pipes to skl_hw

From: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com>

When we write watermark values to the hardware, those values are stored
in dev_priv->wm.skl_hw.  However with recent watermark changes, the
results structure we're copying from only contains valid watermark and
DDB values for the pipes that are actually changing; the values for
other pipes remain 0.  Thus a blind copy of the entire skl_wm_values
structure will clobber the values for unchanged pipes...we need to be
more selective and only copy over the values for the changing pipes.

This mistake was hidden until recently due to another bug that caused us
to erroneously re-calculate watermarks for all active pipes rather than
changing pipes.  Only when that bug was fixed was the impact of this bug
discovered (e.g., modesets failing with "Requested display configuration
exceeds system watermark limitations" messages and leaving watermarks
non-functional, even ones initiated by intel_fbdev_restore_mode).

Changes since v1:
 - Add a function for copying a pipe's wm values
   (skl_copy_wm_for_pipe()) so we can reuse this later

Fixes: 734fa01f3a17 ("drm/i915/gen9: Calculate watermarks during atomic 'check' (v2)")
Fixes: 9b6130227495 ("drm/i915/gen9: Re-allocate DDB only for changed pipes")

[PATCH v4 3/6] drm/i915/skl: Only flush pipes when we change the ddb allocation

[Lyude]

Manual pipe flushes are only necessary in order to make sure that we prevent
pipes with changed ddb allocations from overlapping from one another at
any point in time. Additionally, forcing us to wait for the next vblank
every time we have to update the watermark values because the cursor was
moving between screens will introduce a rather noticable lag for users.

I think you can simplify and drop the first part of this condition here,

I think you can simplify and drop the first part of this condition here,

[PATCH v4 4/6] drm/i915/skl: Fix extra whitespace in skl_flush_wm_values()

[Lyude]

Similar to how a vehicle will travel faster if you paint flames on it,
cleaning up this extra whitespace is guaranteed to provide additional
stability while updating watermark values.

[PATCH v4 5/6] drm/i915/skl: Update plane watermarks atomically during plane updates

[Lyude]

Thanks to Ville for suggesting this as a potential solution to pipe
underruns on Skylake.

On Skylake all of the registers for configuring planes, including the
registers for configuring their watermarks, are double buffered. New
values written to them won't take effect until said registers are
"armed", which is done by writing to the PLANE_SURF (or in the case of
cursor planes, the CURBASE register) register.

With this in mind, up until now we've been updating watermarks on skl
like this:

  non-modeset {
   - calculate (during atomic check phase)
   - finish_atomic_commit:
     - intel_pre_plane_update:
        - intel_update_watermarks()
     - {vblank happens; new watermarks + old plane values => underrun }
     - drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc:
        - start vblank evasion
        - write new plane registers
        - end vblank evasion
  }

  or

  modeset {
   - calculate (during atomic check phase)
   - finish_atomic_commit:
     - crtc_enable:
        - intel_update_watermarks()
     - {vblank happens; new watermarks + old plane values => underrun }
     - drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc:
        - start vblank evasion
        - write new plane registers
        - end vblank evasion
  }

Now we update watermarks atomically like this:

  non-modeset {
   - calculate (during atomic check phase)
   - finish_atomic_commit:
     - intel_pre_plane_update:
        - intel_update_watermarks() (wm values aren't written yet)
     - drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc:
        - start vblank evasion
        - write new plane registers
        - write new wm values
        - end vblank evasion
  }

  modeset {
   - calculate (during atomic check phase)
   - finish_atomic_commit:
     - crtc_enable:
        - intel_update_watermarks() (actual wm values aren't written
          yet)
     - drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc:
        - start vblank evasion
        - write new plane registers
	- write new wm values
        - end vblank evasion
  }

So this patch moves all of the watermark writes into the right place;
inside of the vblank evasion where we update all of the registers for
each plane. While this patch doesn't fix everything, it does allow us to
update the watermark values in the way the hardware expects us to.

Changes since original patch series:
 - Remove mutex_lock/mutex_unlock since they don't do anything and we're
   not touching global state
 - Move skl_write_cursor_wm/skl_write_plane_wm functions into
   intel_pm.c, make externally visible
 - Add skl_write_plane_wm calls to skl_update_plane
 - Fix conditional for for loop in skl_write_plane_wm (level < max_level
   should be level <= max_level)
 - Make diagram in commit more accurate to what's actually happening
 - Add Fixes:

Changes since v1:
 - Use IS_GEN9() instead of IS_SKYLAKE() since these fixes apply to more
   then just Skylake
 - Update description to make it clear this patch doesn't fix everything
 - Check if pipes were actually changed before writing watermarks

Changes since v2:
 - Write PIPE_WM_LINETIME during vblank evasion

Changes since v3:
 - Rebase against new SAGV patch changes

Putting this here may lead to it being programmed multiple times or not
at all, depending on what pipes are in use.  Worst case is you have the
CRTC on with no planes except the cursor (and possibly the canvas), but
do a modeset or pipe scaling change that needs to change the linetime
watermark.

I guess we probably need a new device-specific callback from
intel_update_pipe_config() (which gets called by
intel_begin_crtc_commit()) where we can do this once per CRTC.

[PATCH v4 6/6] drm/i915/skl: Always wait for pipes to update after a flush

[Lyude]

Unfortunately right now we don't really update watermarks on Skylake
properly, since ideally we'd be updating both the ddb allocations, plane
properties, and watermarks all in a single go. Until this is fixed
however, we can improve things somewhat by adding a vblank wait after
the third iteration of pipe flushes, since this forces us to always wait
for new ddb allocations to take affect before trying to change them
again.

Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 0/6] Finally fix watermarks

[Matt Roper]

This is completely untested (and probably horribly broken/buggy), but
here's a quick mockup of the general approach I was thinking for
ensuring DDB & WM's can be updated together while ensuring the
three-step pipe flushing process is honored:

        https://github.com/mattrope/kernel/commits/experimental/lyude_ddb

Basically the idea is to take note of what's happening to the pipe's DDB
allocation (shrinking, growing, unchanged, etc.) during the atomic check
phase; then during the commit phase, we loop over the CRTC's three times
instead of just once, but only operate on a subset of the CRTC's in each
loop.  While operating on each CRTC, the plane, WM, and DDB all get
programmed together and have a single flush for all three.

Didn't look too closely, but I think you can't actually do that unless
you lock all the crtcs whenever the number of active pipes is goind to
change. Meaning we'd essentially be back to the one-big-modeset-lock
apporach, which will cause missed flips and whanot on the other pipes.

The alternative I think would consist of:
- make sure level 0 watermark never exceeds total_ddb_size/max_pipes,
  so that a modeset doesn't have to care about the wms for the other
  pipes not fitting in
- level 1+ watermarks would be checked against total_ddb_size
- protect the plane/pipe commit with the wm mutex whenever the wms
  need to be reprogrammed
- keep the flush_wm thing around for the case when ddb size does get
  changed, protect it with the wm lock
- when programming wms, we will first filter out any level that
  doesn't fit in with the current ddb size, and then program the
  rest in
- potentially introduce per-pipe wm locks if the one big lock looks
  like an issue, which it might if the flush_wm holds it all the way
  through

Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 0/6] Finally fix watermarks

[Lyude]

So I've been working on trying to fix this entirely again (e.g. writing
the ddb properly), since from bug reports it still doesn't sound like
we've got enough workarounds to make this tolerable. I've shown this to
matt roper, but I should probably post what I've been trying to do for
you as well.

So the approach I came up with is here

https://github.com/lyude/linux/tree/wip/skl-fix-wms-v5r2

My approach differs a little bit from what the bspec recommends, but I
think it's going to be a bit easier to implement. At the end of all the
changes I'm attempting it should look like this:

 * We no longer have a global watermark update for skl
 * A new hook called "update_ddbs" is added to i915_display_funcs. This
   gets called in intel_atomic_commit_tail() after we've disabled any
   CRTCs that needed disabling, and before we begin enabling/updating
   CRTCs
 * Because pipe ddb allocations (not the inner-pipe ddb allocations
   that apply to each pipe's planes) only change while
   enabling/disabling crtcs:
    * Pass 1: Find which pipe's new ddb allocation won't overlap with
      another pipe's previous allocation, and update that pipe first
    * Pass 2: Update the allocation of the remaining pipe

Here's an illustration of what this looks like. Parts of the ddb not
being used by any CRTCs are marked out with 'x's:

With pipe A enabled, we enable pipe B:
Initial DDB:    |           A           |
update_ddbs:    |     A     |xxxxxxxxxxx| Pass 1
Enable pipe B:  |     A     |     B     |

With pipes B and A active, we enable pipe C:

Initial DDB:    |     B     |     A     |
update_ddbs:    |   B   |xxx|     A     | Pass 1
update_ddbs:    |   B   |   A   |xxxxxxx| Pass 2
Enable pipe C:  |   B   |   A   |   C   |

With pipes A, B, and C active, we disable B:
Initial DDB:    |   A   |   B   |   C   |
Disable pipe B: |   A   |xxxxxxx|   C   |
update_ddbs:    |     A     |     C     | Pass 1
Since neither pipe's new allocation overlapped, we skip pass 2

Another allocation with A, B, and C active, disabling A:
Initial DDB:    |   A   |   B   |   C   |
Disable pipe A: |xxxxxxx|   B   |   C   |
update_ddbs:    |     B     |xxx|   C   | Pass 1
update_ddbs:    |     B     |     C     | Pass 2

This should ensure we can always move around the allocations of pipes
without them ever overlapping and exploding.

This branch doesn't entirely fix underrun issues, but I'm mostly sure
that's the fault of still not having removed the global wm update hook
yet (which is leading to additional pipe flushes in places they
shouldn't be):

https://github.com/lyude/linux/tree/wip/skl-fix-wms-v5r2

As for updating inner-pipe ddb allocations for each plane on a pipe, we
should be able to just do that at the same time we update each pipe's
watermarks

Let me know what you think

Re: [PATCH v4 0/6] Finally fix watermarks

[Lyude]

So I've been working on trying to fix this entirely again (e.g. writing
the ddb properly), since from bug reports it still doesn't sound like
we've got enough workarounds to make this tolerable. I've shown this to
matt roper, but I should probably post what I've been trying to do for
you as well.

So the approach I came up with is here

https://github.com/lyude/linux/tree/wip/skl-fix-wms-v5r2

My approach differs a little bit from what the bspec recommends, but I
think it's going to be a bit easier to implement. At the end of all the
changes I'm attempting it should look like this:

 * We no longer have a global watermark update for skl
 * A new hook called "update_ddbs" is added to i915_display_funcs. This
   gets called in intel_atomic_commit_tail() after we've disabled any
   CRTCs that needed disabling, and before we begin enabling/updating
   CRTCs
 * Because pipe ddb allocations (not the inner-pipe ddb allocations
   that apply to each pipe's planes) only change while
   enabling/disabling crtcs:
    * Pass 1: Find which pipe's new ddb allocation won't overlap with
      another pipe's previous allocation, and update that pipe first
    * Pass 2: Update the allocation of the remaining pipe

Here's an illustration of what this looks like. Parts of the ddb not
being used by any CRTCs are marked out with 'x's:

With pipe A enabled, we enable pipe B:
Initial DDB:    |           A           |
update_ddbs:    |     A     |xxxxxxxxxxx| Pass 1
Enable pipe B:  |     A     |     B     |

With pipes B and A active, we enable pipe C:

Initial DDB:    |     B     |     A     |
update_ddbs:    |   B   |xxx|     A     | Pass 1
update_ddbs:    |   B   |   A   |xxxxxxx| Pass 2
Enable pipe C:  |   B   |   A   |   C   |

With pipes A, B, and C active, we disable B:
Initial DDB:    |   A   |   B   |   C   |
Disable pipe B: |   A   |xxxxxxx|   C   |
update_ddbs:    |     A     |     C     | Pass 1
Since neither pipe's new allocation overlapped, we skip pass 2

Another allocation with A, B, and C active, disabling A:
Initial DDB:    |   A   |   B   |   C   |
Disable pipe A: |xxxxxxx|   B   |   C   |
update_ddbs:    |     B     |xxx|   C   | Pass 1
update_ddbs:    |     B     |     C     | Pass 2

This should ensure we can always move around the allocations of pipes
without them ever overlapping and exploding.

This branch doesn't entirely fix underrun issues, but I'm mostly sure
that's the fault of still not having removed the global wm update hook
yet (which is leading to additional pipe flushes in places they
shouldn't be):

https://github.com/lyude/linux/tree/wip/skl-fix-wms-v5r2

As for updating inner-pipe ddb allocations for each plane on a pipe, we
should be able to just do that at the same time we update each pipe's
watermarks

Let me know what you think

That's what the current flush thing does, or at least that what it used
to do at least. Not sure it's really doing it anymore, but I'm pretty
sure the order in which it did things was sound at some point.

Well it should basically boil down to s/update_wm/update_ddb/
Only DDB reallocation really warrants a global hook. Everything else
should be handled via per-crtc hooks, on all platforms.

Yes.

None of that changes what I said before though. Either you need to
lock down everything when the DDB needs to be repartitioned, or you
do what I outlined in the previous mail. Otherwise a plane update
etc. happening in parallel will still blow up on account of the DDB
state changing underneath the plane update somewhere between compute
and commit. I can't really think of third option that would work.

Bleh! I didn't even realize plane updates could happen in parallel like
that. Suddenly your proposal makes a lot more sense...

Anyway, your method definitely sounds like the right one. Unless Matt

I don't think we want even update_ddb.  We want *calculate_ddb* to be a
global hook during the atomic check phase (and we do have that today),
but when we get around to the commit phase and start writing stuff to
hardware, we want to program the per-pipe DDB entries at the same time
we program the WM's and regular plane registers (since they should be
double buffered and flushed out the same way).  We just need to make
sure that the order we process pipes in follows the special flushing
rules noted above, which is what my pseudo-patches were trying to
describe.

Yep, I agree with all of this as well (and we do lock everything down
today for exactly this reason).  It's unfortunate that we need a
BKL-style mechanism for the DDB, but as I noted in the other message,
using fixed pre-partitioning for level 0 breaks too many additional use
cases.  :-(

My comments are w.r.t. the scheme where we don't lock down all the crtcs

My comments are w.r.t. the scheme where we don't lock down all the crtcs
for every DDB update.

Unfortunately this part is the problem.  You might get away with doing
this on SKL/KBL which only have three planes max per pipe and a large
(896 block) DDB, but on BXT you have up to four planes (we don't
actually enable the topmost plane in a full-featured manner just yet,
but need to soon), yet the total DDB is only 512 blocks.  Sadly, the
platform with more planes was given a smaller DDB...   :-(

We're already in trouble because users that are running setups like 3x
4K with most/all planes in use at large sizes can't find level 0
watermarks that satisfy their needs and we have to reject the whole
configuration.  If we further limit each pipe's usage to total/maxpipes
(i.e., 170 blocks per pipe on BXT), then we're going to hit similar
issues when only driving one or two displays with with all of the planes
in use, even though we should have had more DDB space to work with.

I guess serious plane usage isn't too common in desktop setups today,
but it's a very critical feature in the embedded world; we can't really
afford to cripple plane usage further.  Unfortunately, as you point out
above, this means that we have to follow the bspec's DDB allocation
method, which in turn means we need to grab _all_ CRTC locks any time
_any_ CRTC is being turned on or turned off which is a BKL-style way of
doing things.

We're already in trouble because users that are running setups like 3x
4K with most/all planes in use at large sizes can't find level 0
watermarks that satisfy their needs and we have to reject the whole
configuration.  If we further limit each pipe's usage to total/maxpipes
(i.e., 170 blocks per pipe on BXT), then we're going to hit similar
issues when only driving one or two displays with with all of the planes
in use, even though we should have had more DDB space to work with.

I guess serious plane usage isn't too common in desktop setups today,
but it's a very critical feature in the embedded world; we can't really
afford to cripple plane usage further.  Unfortunately, as you point out
above, this means that we have to follow the bspec's DDB allocation
method, which in turn means we need to grab _all_ CRTC locks any time
_any_ CRTC is being turned on or turned off which is a BKL-style way of
doing things.

Meh, I'm running into a similar issue on vlv/chv. I don't see a way around it. :(
Only thing we could do is split up the state to make the non-modeset
crtc's complete early.

Just like ILK we just need to track reasonably closely how many pipes
are active, and redo the wm level selection when that changes. Just
make sure the code never thinks there are less pipes active than in
reality, and it should all be safe.

In theory we wouldn't even need to do that since the PM5/DDR DVFS don't
actually depend on the number of active pipes. It's just that they never
validated that combination, so it's not something that's recommended to
be used. And since the whole DDR DVFS extra latency vs. DDL deadlines
is such a mess, it probably would end up in more underruns.
