[PATCH 00/15] CPU binds and ULLS on migration queue

[Matthew Brost]

We now have data to back up the need for CPU binds and ULLS on the
migration queue, as generated from [1].

On BMG, it is shown that when the GPU is consistently processing faults,
copy jobs run approximately 40–65µs faster (depending on the test case)
with ULLS compared to traditional GuC submission with SLPC enabled on
the migration queue (not upstream, but last patch in series can enable
this). Without SLPC enabled (upstream), ULLS is approximately 100–200µs
faster. Startup from a cold GPU shows an even larger speedup. Given the
critical nature of fault performance, ULLS appears to be a worthwhile
feature.

ULLS will consume more power (not yet measured) due to a continuously
running batch on the paging engine. However, compute UMDs already do
this on engines exposed to users. Again, this seems like a worthwhile
tradeoff.

CPU binds are required for ULLS to function, as the migration queue
needs exclusive access to the paging hardware engine. Thus, CPU binds
are included here. Beyond being a requirement for ULLS, CPU binds
should also reduce VM bind latency and decouple kernel binds from
unrelated copy/clear jobs—this is especially beneficial when faults are
serviced in parallel. Average bind time in a parallel faulting test case
was reduced by approximately 15µs-in the worst case, 2M copy time (~140µs)
* (number of page fault threads - 1) latency would be added to single
fault.

This series could be merged in phases: first CPU binds, then ULLS on the
migration execution queue.

Last couple of patches in series add modparams for quick performance /
power experiments.
