We've been overloading uncore->lock to protect access to the MCR
steering register. That's not really what uncore->lock is intended for,
and it would be better if we didn't need to hold such a high-traffic
spinlock for the whole sequence of (apply steering, access MCR register,
restore steering). Switch to a dedicated MCR lock to protect the
steering control register over this critical section and stop relying on
the high-traffic uncore->lock. On pre-MTL platforms the dedicated MCR
lock is just another software lock, but on MTL and beyond we also
utilize the hardware-provided STEER_SEMAPHORE that allows us to
synchronize with external hardware and firmware agents.
v2:
- Use irqsave/irqrestore locking; on platforms that use execlist
submission instead of GuC, MCR accesses can happen in interrupt
context (tasklet) during reset -> error dump.
- Extend timeout for hardware semaphore and CI taint if we ever
encounter it (this implies a hardware/firmware problem). (Mika)
- Add an extra patch optimizing xehp_setup_private_ppat by holding
forcewake & mcr lock over the sequence of register writes. (Bala)
