[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 00/19] drm/i915/guc: Refactor ADS access to use dma_buf_map

[Lucas De Marchi]

While porting i915 to arm64 we noticed some issues accessing lmem.
Some writes were getting corrupted and the final state of the buffer
didn't have exactly what we wrote. This became evident when enabling
GuC submission: depending on the number of engines the ADS struct was
being corrupted and GuC would reject it, refusin to initialize.

>From Documentation/core-api/bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst:

	This memory is called "PCI memory" or "shared memory" or "IO memory" or
	whatever, and there is only one way to access it: the readb/writeb and
	related functions. You should never take the address of such memory, because
	there is really nothing you can do with such an address: it's not
	conceptually in the same memory space as "real memory" at all, so you cannot
	just dereference a pointer. (Sadly, on x86 it **is** in the same memory space,
	so on x86 it actually works to just deference a pointer, but it's not
	portable).

When reading or writing words directly to IO memory, in order to be portable
the Linux kernel provides the abstraction detailed in section "Differences
between I/O access functions" of Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst.

This limits our ability to simply overlay our structs on top a buffer
and directly access it since that buffer may come from IO memory rather than
system memory. Hence the approach taken in intel_guc_ads.c needs to be
refactored. This is not the only place in i915 that neeed to be changed, but
the one causing the most problems, with a real reproducer. This first set of
patch focuses on fixing the gem object to pass the ADS

After the addition of a few helpers in the dma_buf_map API, most of
intel_guc_ads.c can be converted to use it. The exception is the regset
initialization: we'd incur into a lot of extra indirection when
reading/writting each register. So the regset is converted to use a
temporary buffer allocated on probe, which is then copied to its
final location when finishing the initialization or on gt reset.

Testing on some discrete cards, after this change we can correctly pass the
ADS struct to GuC and have it initialized correctly.
