[PATCH 16/35] drm/amdkfd: add ioctl to configure and query xnack retries

From: Alex Sierra <alex.sierra at amd.com>

Xnack retries are used for page fault recovery. Some AMD chip
families support continuously retry while page table entries are invalid.
The driver must handle the page fault interrupt and fill in a valid entry
for the GPU to continue.

This ioctl allows to enable/disable XNACK retries per KFD process.

+ * kfd_ioctl_set_xnack_mode_args - Arguments for set_xnack_mode
+ *
+ * @xnack_enabled:       [in/out] Whether to enable XNACK mode for this process
+ *
+ * @xnack_enabled indicates whether recoverable page faults should be
+ * enabled for the current process. 0 means disabled, positive means
+ * enabled, negative means leave unchanged. If enabled, virtual address
+ * translations on GFXv9 and later AMD GPUs can return XNACK and retry
+ * the access until a valid PTE is available. This is used to implement
+ * device page faults.
+ *
+ * On output, @xnack_enabled returns the (new) current mode (0 or
+ * positive). Therefore, a negative input value can be used to query
+ * the current mode without changing it.
+ *
+ * The XNACK mode fundamentally changes the way SVM managed memory works
+ * in the driver, with subtle effects on application performance and
+ * functionality.
+ *
+ * Enabling XNACK mode requires shader programs to be compiled
+ * differently. Furthermore, not all GPUs support changing the mode
+ * per-process. Therefore changing the mode is only allowed while no
+ * user mode queues exist in the process. This ensure that no shader
+ * code is running that may be compiled for the wrong mode. And GPUs
+ * that cannot change to the requested mode will prevent the XNACK
+ * mode from occurring. All GPUs used by the process must be in the
+ * same XNACK mode.
+ *
+ * GFXv8 or older GPUs do not support 48 bit virtual addresses or SVM.
+ * Therefore those GPUs are not considered for the XNACK mode switch.
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success, -errno on failure
