[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: Implement SINGLE_TIMELINE with a syncobj

[Jason Ekstrand]

I'd love to delete the SINGLE_TIMELINE API because it leaks an
implementation detail of contexts through to the API and is something
that userspace can do itself, trivially.  Unfortunately, it's used by
the media driver so we can't do that.  We can, however, do the next-best
thing which is to embed a syncobj in the context and do exactly what
we'd expect from userspace internally.

This has a couple of advantages.  One is that we're no longer leaking a
detail of the current execlist scheduler which will be problematic when
we try to add GuC scheduling.  Second is that, together with deleting
the CLONE_CONTEXT API, we should now have a 1:1 mapping between
intel_context and intel_timeline which should make some of our locking
mess a bit easier.
