[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/9] Per client engine busyness

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

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

Another re-spin of the per-client engine busyness series. Highlights from this
version:

 * One patch got merged in the meantime, otherwise just a rebase.

Internally we track time spent on engines for each struct intel_context. This
can serve as a building block for several features from the want list:
smarter scheduler decisions, getrusage(2)-like per-GEM-context functionality
wanted by some customers, cgroups controller, dynamic SSEU tuning,...

Externally, in sysfs, we expose time spent on GPU per client and per engine
class.

Sysfs interface enables us to implement a "top-like" tool for GPU tasks. Or with
a "screenshot":

Implementation wise we add a a bunch of files in sysfs like:

	# cd /sys/class/drm/card0/clients/
	# tree
	.
	├── 7
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	├── 8
	│   ├── busy
	│   │   ├── 0
	│   │   ├── 1
	│   │   ├── 2
	│   │   └── 3
	│   ├── name
	│   └── pid
	└── 9
	    ├── busy
	    │   ├── 0
	    │   ├── 1
	    │   ├── 2
	    │   └── 3
	    ├── name
	    └── pid

Files in 'busy' directories are numbered using the engine class ABI values and
they contain accumulated nanoseconds each client spent on engines of a
respective class.

It is stil a RFC since it misses dedicated test cases to ensure things really
work as advertised.
