      drm/i915: Move execlists irq handler to a bottom half · 27af5eea
      Tvrtko Ursulin 提交于
      Doing a lot of work in the interrupt handler introduces huge
      latencies to the system as a whole.
      
      Most dramatic effect can be seen by running an all engine
      stress test like igt/gem_exec_nop/all where, when the kernel
      config is lean enough, the whole system can be brought into
      multi-second periods of complete non-interactivty. That can
      look for example like this:

      I could not explain, or find a code path, which would explain
      a +20 second lockup, but from some instrumentation it was
      apparent the interrupts off proportion of time was between
      10-25% under heavy load which is quite bad.
      
      When a interrupt "cliff" is reached, which was >~320k irq/s on
      my machine, the whole system goes into a terrible state of the
      above described multi-second lockups.
      
      By moving the GT interrupt handling to a tasklet in a most
      simple way, the problem above disappears completely.
      
      Testing the effect on sytem-wide latencies using
      igt/gem_syslatency shows the following before this patch:
      
      gem_syslatency: cycles=1532739, latency mean=416531.829us max=2499237us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=1839434, latency mean=1458099.157us max=4998944us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=1432570, latency mean=2688.451us max=1201185us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=1533543, latency mean=416520.499us max=2498886us
      
      This shows that the unrelated process is experiencing huge
      delays in its wake-up latency. After the patch the results
      look like this:
      
      gem_syslatency: cycles=808907, latency mean=53.133us max=1640us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=862154, latency mean=62.778us max=2117us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=856039, latency mean=58.079us max=2123us
      gem_syslatency: cycles=841683, latency mean=56.914us max=1667us
      
      Showing a huge improvement in the unrelated process wake-up
      latency. It also shows an approximate halving in the number
      of total empty batches submitted during the test. This may
      not be worrying since the test puts the driver under
      a very unrealistic load with ncpu threads doing empty batch
      submission to all GPU engines each.
      
      Another benefit compared to the hard-irq handling is that now
      work on all engines can be dispatched in parallel since we can
      have up to number of CPUs active tasklets. (While previously
      a single hard-irq would serially dispatch on one engine after
      another.)
      
      More interesting scenario with regards to throughput is
      "gem_latency -n 100" which  shows 25% better throughput and
      CPU usage, and 14% better dispatch latencies.
      
      I did not find any gains or regressions with Synmark2 or
      GLbench under light testing. More benchmarking is certainly
      required.
      
      v2:
         * execlists_lock should be taken as spin_lock_bh when
           queuing work from userspace now. (Chris Wilson)
         * uncore.lock must be taken with spin_lock_irq when
           submitting requests since that now runs from either
           softirq or process context.
      
      v3:
         * Expanded commit message with more testing data;
         * converted missed locking sites to _bh;
         * added execlist_lock comment. (Chris Wilson)
      
      v4:
         * Mention dispatch parallelism in commit. (Chris Wilson)
         * Do not hold uncore.lock over MMIO reads since the block
           is already serialised per-engine via the tasklet itself.
           (Chris Wilson)
         * intel_lrc_irq_handler should be static. (Chris Wilson)
         * Cancel/sync the tasklet on GPU reset. (Chris Wilson)
         * Document and WARN that tasklet cannot be active/pending
           on engine cleanup. (Chris Wilson/Imre Deak)

      drm/i915: Execlists small cleanups and micro-optimisations · c6a2ac71
      Tvrtko Ursulin 提交于
      Assorted changes in the areas of code cleanup, reduction of
      invariant conditional in the interrupt handler and lock
      contention and MMIO access optimisation.
      
       * Remove needless initialization.
       * Improve cache locality by reorganizing code and/or using
         branch hints to keep unexpected or error conditions out
         of line.
       * Favor busy submit path vs. empty queue.
       * Less branching in hot-paths.
      
      v2:
      
       * Avoid mmio reads when possible. (Chris Wilson)
       * Use natural integer size for csb indices.
       * Remove useless return value from execlists_update_context.
       * Extract 32-bit ppgtt PDPs update so it is out of line and
         shared with two callers.
       * Grab forcewake across all mmio operations to ease the
         load on uncore lock and use chepear mmio ops.
      
      v3:
      
       * Removed some more pointless u8 data types.
       * Removed unused return from execlists_context_queue.
       * Commit message updates.
      
      v4:
       * Unclumsify the unqueue if statement. (Chris Wilson)
       * Hide forcewake from the queuing function. (Chris Wilson)
      
      Version 3 now makes the irq handling code path ~20% smaller on
      48-bit PPGTT hardware, and a little bit less elsewhere. Hot
      paths are mostly in-line now and hammering on the uncore
      spinlock is greatly reduced together with mmio traffic to an
      extent.
      
      Benchmarking with "gem_latency -n 100" (keep submitting
      batches with 100 nop instruction) shows approximately 4% higher
      throughput, 2% less CPU time and 22% smaller latencies. This was
      on a big-core while small-cores could benefit even more.
      
      Most likely reason for the improvements are the MMIO
      optimization and uncore lock traffic reduction.
      
      One odd result is with "gem_latency -n 0" (dispatching empty
      batches) which shows 5% more throughput, 8% less CPU time,
      25% better producer and consumer latencies, but 15% higher
      dispatch latency which is yet unexplained.
