[Intel-gfx] [PATCH resend-for-CI 1/3] drm/i915: Use consistent forcewake auto-release timeout across kernel configs

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Because it is based on jiffies, current implementation releases the
forcewake at any time between straight away and between 1ms and 10ms,
depending on the kernel configuration (CONFIG_HZ).

This is probably not what has been desired, since the dynamics of keeping
parts of the GPU awake should not be correlated with this kernel
configuration parameter.

Change the auto-release mechanism to use hrtimers and set the timeout to
1ms with a 1ms of slack. This should make the GPU power consistent
across kernel configs, and timer slack should enable some timer coalescing
where multiple force-wake domains exist, or with unrelated timers.

For GlBench/T-Rex this decreases the number of forcewake releases from
~480 to ~300 per second, and for a heavy combined OGL/OCL test from
~670 to ~360 (HZ=1000 kernel).

Even though this reduction can be attributed to the average release period
extending from 0-1ms to 1-2ms, as discussed above, it will make the
forcewake timeout consistent for different CONFIG_HZ values.

Real life measurements with the above workload has shown that, with this
patch, both manage to auto-release the forcewake between 2-4 times per
10ms, even though the number of forcewake gets is dramatically different.

T-Rex requests between 5-10 explicit gets and 5-10 implict gets in each
10ms period, while the OGL/OCL test requests 250 and 380 times in the same
period.

The two data points together suggest that the nature of the forwake
accesses is bursty and that further changes and potential timeout
extensions, or moving the start of timeout from the first to the last
automatic forcewake grab, should be carefully measured for power and
performance effects.

  * More discussion on numbers in the commit. (Chris Wilson)
