[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 00/25] Add support for GuC-based SLPC

[tom.orourke at intel.com]

From: Tom O'Rourke <Tom.O'Rourke at intel.com>

SLPC (Single Loop Power Controller) is a replacement for
some host-based power management features.  The SLPC
implemenation runs in firmware on GuC.

This series has been tested with SKL guc firmware
version 6.1 and BXT guc version 5.1.

The graphics power management features in SLPC in those
versions are called GTPERF, BALANCER, and DCC.

GTPERF is a combination of DFPS (Dynamic FPS) and Turbo.
DFPS adjusts requested graphics frequency to maintain
target framerate.  Turbo adjusts requested graphics
frequency to maintain target GT busyness; this includes
an adaptive boost turbo method.

BALANCER adjusts balance between power budgets for IA
and GT in power limited scenarios.  BALANCER is only
active when all display pipes are in "game" mode.

DCC (Duty Cycle Control) adjusts requested graphics
frequency and stalls guc-scheduler to maintain actual
graphics frequency in efficient range.

The v2 series was a followup to the request for comments
"[Intel-gfx] [RFC 00/22] Add support for GuC-based SLPC"
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-January/085830.html

Thank you to Paulo for his valuable review of the RFC
series.  Thank you also to Ville, Daniel, Jesse, and
Martin for their helpful comments.

We (Tom and Sagar) have attempted to incorporate these
suggestions in this series.  We also adapted to a new
SLPC interface version that reflects an internal
reorganization within the firmware.  The biggest change
refactored the tasks.  The DFPS and Turbo tasks were
merged into the GTPERF task.  The IBC (Intelligent Bias
Control) feature that had been grouped with Turbo was
split out into the BALANCER task.

The requested frequency can be fixed by setting min and
max to the same value.  As before, the actual frequency
is controlled by the punit.

In addition to the debugfs files to enable/disable each
task, there is a module parameter to completely disable
SLPC. By default, SLPC will be disabled by module parameter.
Benchmarks showing power/performance results are expected
before enabling SLPC by default.

We anticipate DFPS and BALANCER will not be effective on
Linux systems due to difficulty determining frame rate
with a compositor and display not in "game" mode.
GTPERF (Turbo) and DCC should be effective.

This v3 series is sent primarily to re-run CI tests now 
that SKL guc v6.1 has been published and the CI machines 
have been updated.  The series has also been rebased on 
the latest drm-intel-nightly and there were minor updates 
to 3 patches (3/25, 4/25, 8/25).  

Patches 22/25 to 25/25 are included for convenience in
testing this series and are not intended to be merged at
this time.  SLPC requires guc submission and should be
disabled if guc submission is not enabled.
