The aim of this locking rework is that ioctls which a compositor should be
might call for every frame (set_cursor, page_flip, addfb, rmfb and
getfb/create_handle) should not be able to block on kms background
activities like output detection. And since each EDID read takes about
25ms (in the best case), that always means we'll drop at least one frame.
The solution is to add per-crtc locking for these ioctls, and restrict
background activities to only use the global lock. Change-the-world type
of events (modeset, dpms, ...) need to grab all locks.
Two tricky parts arose in the conversion:
- A lot of current code assumes that a kms fb object can't disappear while
holding the global lock, since the current code serializes fb
destruction with it. Hence proper lifetime management using the already
created refcounting for fbs need to be instantiated for all ioctls and
interfaces/users.
- The rmfb ioctl removes the to-be-deleted fb from all active users. But
unconditionally taking the global kms lock to do so introduces an
unacceptable potential stall point. And obviously changing the userspace
abi isn't on the table, either. Hence this conversion opportunistically
checks whether the rmfb ioctl holds the very last reference, which
guarantees that the fb isn't in active use on any crtc or plane (thanks
to the conversion to the new lifetime rules using proper refcounting).
Only if this is not the case will the code go through the slowpath and
grab all modeset locks. Sane compositors will never hit this path and so
avoid the stall, but userspace relying on these semantics will also not
break.
All these cases are exercised by the newly added subtests for the i-g-t
kms_flip, tested on a machine where a full detect cycle takes around 100
ms. It works, and no frames are dropped any more with these patches
applied. kms_flip also contains a special case to exercise the
above-describe rmfb slowpath.

Avoid clobbering adjacent blocks if they happen to expire earlier and
amalgamate together to form the requested hole.
In passing this fixes a regression from

drm: mm: track free areas implicitly
which swaps the end address for size (with a potential overflow) and
effectively causes the eviction code to clobber almost all earlier
buffers above the evictee.
v2: Check the original hole not the adjusted as the coloring may confuse
us when later searching for the overlapping nodes. Also make sure that
we do apply the range restriction and color adjustment in the same
order for both scanning, searching and insertion.
v3: Send the version that was actually tested.
Note that this seems to be ducttape of decent quality ot paper over
some of our unbind related gpu hangs reported since 3.7. It is not
fully effective though, and certainly doesn't fix the underlying bug.

This will be used i915 in forthcoming patches in order to measure the
largest contiguous chunk of memory available for enabling chipset
features.
v2: Try to make the macro marginally safer and more readable by not
depending upon the drm_mm_hole_node_end() being non-zero. Note that we
need to open code list_for_each() in order to update the hole_start,
hole_end variable on each iteration and keep the macro sane.
v3: Tidy up few BUG_ONs that fell foul of adding additional tests to
drm_mm_hole_node_start().

In order to support snoopable memory on non-LLC architectures (so that
we can bind vgem objects into the i915 GATT for example), we have to
avoid the prefetcher on the GPU from crossing memory domains and so
prevent allocation of a snoopable PTE immediately following an uncached
PTE. To do that, we need to extend the range allocator with support for
tracking and segregating different node colours.
This will be used by i915 to segregate memory domains within the GTT.
v2: Now with more drm_mm helpers and less driver interference.

The old api has a two-step process: First search for a suitable
free hole, then allocate from that specific hole. No user used
this to do anything clever. So drop it for the embeddable variant
of the drm_mm api (the old one retains this ability, for the time
being).
With struct drm_mm_node embedded, we cannot track allocations
anymore by checking for a NULL pointer. So keep track of this
and add a small helper drm_mm_node_allocated.
Also add a function to move allocations between different struct
drm_mm_node.
v2: Implement suggestions by Chris Wilson.

The idea is to track free holes implicitly by marking the allocation
immediatly preceeding a hole.
To avoid an ugly corner case add a dummy head_node to struct drm_mm
to track the hole that spans to complete allocation area when the
memory manager is empty.
To guarantee that there's always a preceeding/following node (that might
be marked as hole_follows == 1), move the mm->node_list list_head to the
head_node.
The main allocator and fair-lru scan code actually becomes simpler.
Only the debug code slightly suffers because free areas are no longer
explicit.
Also add drm_mm_for_each_node (which will be much more useful when
struct drm_mm_node is embeddable).

These helper functions can be used to efficiently scan lru list
for eviction. Eviction becomes a three stage process:
1. Scanning through the lru list until a suitable hole has been found.
2. Scan backwards to restore drm_mm consistency and find out which
objects fall into the hole.
3. Evict the objects that fall into the hole.
These helper functions don't allocate any memory (at the price of
not allowing any other concurrent operations). Hence this can also be
used for ttm (which does lru scanning under a spinlock).
Evicting objects in this fashion should be more fair than the current
approach by i915 (scan the lru for a object large enough to contain
the new object). It's also more efficient than the current approach used
by ttm (uncoditionally evict objects from the lru until there's enough
free space).
