The trace events adds whether or not the wait was blocking. Blocking in
this case means to hold struct_mutex (ie. no new work can be submitted
during the wait). The information is inherently racy.
The blocking information is racy since mutex_is_locked doesn't check
that the current thread holds the lock. The only other option would be
to pass the boolean information of whether or not the class was blocking
down through the stack which is less desirable.
v2: Don't do a trace event per loop. (Chris)
Only get blocking/non-blocking info (Chris)
v3: updated comment in code as well as commit msg (Daniel)
Add "(NB)" to trace information to remind us in 6 months (Ben)

Various issues involved with the space character were generating
warnings in the checkpatch.pl file. This patch removes most of those
warnings.

A lot of minor tweaks to fix the tracepoints, improve the outputting for
ftrace, and to generally make the tracepoints useful again. It is a start
and enough to begin identifying performance issues and gaps in our
coverage.

As the tracepoint is now decoupled from when the actual register is
assigned and was never complemented by detailing when the object lost
its fence, it has outlived its limited usefulness. Profiling the actual
stalls is a far more profitable venture anyway.

Add two tracepoints at I915_WRITE/READ for tracing down all the
register write and read.

This way we can make some more educated guesses as to why exactly
we can't use 2G apertures to their full potential ;)

Convert i915_gem_object_clflush to DEFINE_EVENT, and save ~0.5K:

12668 2732 12 15412 3c34 i915_trace_points.o
No change in functionality.

Fixes up include paths for i915_trace.h by setting additional CFLAGS
for i915_trace_points.c to include the $src directory. The required
TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH is then "."

If we trigger a tracepoint for batch buffer submission, it is a reasonable
assumption that we wish to also trace the batch buffer completion. So in
order to capture the completion events, we need to enable irqs... However,
we cannot rely on the completion event to disable the irq later, so we
defer the irq disable to the retire request.

By adding tracepoint equivalents for WATCH_BUF/EXEC we are able to monitor
the lifetimes of objects, requests and significant events. These events can
then be probed using the tracing frameworks, such as systemtap and, in
particular, perf.
For example to record the stack trace for every GPU stall during a run, use
$ perf record -e i915:i915_gem_request_wait_begin -c 1 -g
And
$ perf report
to view the results.
[Updated to fix compilation issues caused.]
