When dealing with a working set larger than the GATT, or even the
mappable aperture when touching through the GTT, we end up with evicting
objects only to rebind them at a new offset again later. Moving an
object into and out of the GTT requires clflushing the pages, thus
causing a double-clflush penalty for rebinding.
To avoid having to clflush on rebinding, we can track the pages as they
are evicted from the GTT and only relinquish those pages on memory
pressure.
As usual, if it were not for the handling of out-of-memory condition and
having to manually shrink our own bo caches, it would be a net reduction
of code. Alas.
Note: The patch also contains a few changes to the last-hope
evict_everything logic in i916_gem_execbuffer.c - we no longer try to
only evict the purgeable stuff in a first try (since that's superflous
and only helps in OOM corner-cases, not fragmented-gtt trashing
situations).
Also, the extraction of the get_pages retry loop from bind_to_gtt (and
other callsites) to get_pages should imo have been a separate patch.
v2: Ditch the newly added put_pages (for unbound objects only) in
i915_gem_reset. A quick irc discussion hasn't revealed any important
reason for this, so if we need this, I'd like to have a git blame'able
explanation for it.
v3: Undo the s/drm_malloc_ab/kmalloc/ in get_pages that Chris noticed.

[danvet: Split out code movements and rant a bit in the commit message
with a few Notes. Done v2]

In order for udl vmap to work properly, we need to push the object
into the CPU domain before we start copying the data to the USB device.
This along with the udl change avoids userspace explicit mapping to
be used.
v2: add a flag for userspace to query to know if Intel kernel driver can
deal with the vmap flushing properly. In theory udl would need a flag also,
but I intend to push the patches very close to each other and other drivers
should do the right thing from the start.
I've added a test to my intel-gpu-tools prime branch, however testing
this is a bit messy since the only way to get udl to vmap is to rendering
something. I've tested this with real code as well to make sure it works.

This adds handle->fd and fd->handle support to i915, this is to allow
for offloading of rendering in one direction and outputs in the other.
v2 from Daniel Vetter:
- fixup conflicts with the prepare/finish gtt prep work.
- implement ppgtt binding support.
Note that we have squat i-g-t testcoverage for any of the lifetime and
access rules dma_buf/prime support brings along. And there are quite a
few intricate situations here.
Also note that the integration with the existing code is a bit
hackish, especially around get_gtt_pages and put_gtt_pages. It imo
would be easier with the prep code from Chris Wilson's unbound series,
but that is for 3.6.
Also note that I didn't bother to put the new prepare/finish gtt hooks
to good use by moving the dma_buf_map/unmap_attachment calls in there
(like we've originally planned for).
Last but not least this patch is only compile-tested, but I've changed
very little compared to Dave Airlie's version. So there's a decent
chance v2 on drm-next works as well as v1 on 3.4-rc.
v3: Right when I've hit sent I've noticed that I've screwed up one
obj->sg_list (for dmar support) and obj->sg_table (for prime support)
disdinction. We should be able to merge these 2 paths, but that's
material for another patch.
v4: fix the error reporting bugs pointed out by ickle.
v5: fix another error, and stop non-gtt mmaps on shared objects
stop pread/pwrite on imported objects, add fake kmap
