Michel Thierry 142bc7d99b drm/i915: Modify error handler for per engine hang recovery
This is a preparatory patch which modifies error handler to do per engine
hang recovery. The actual patch which implements this sequence follows
later in the series. The aim is to prepare existing recovery function to
adapt to this new function where applicable (which fails at this point
because core implementation is lacking) and continue recovery using legacy
full gpu reset.

A helper function is also added to query the availability of engine
reset. A subsequent patch will add the capability to query which type
of reset is present (engine -> full -> no-reset) via the get-param
ioctl.

It has been decided that the error events that are used to notify user of
reset will only be sent in case if full chip reset. In case of just
single (or multiple) engine resets, userspace won't be notified by these
events.

Note that this implementation of engine reset is for i915 directly
submitting to the ELSP, where the driver manages the hang detection,
recovery and resubmission. With GuC submission these tasks are shared
between driver and firmware; i915 will still responsible for detecting a
hang, and when it does it will have to request GuC to reset that Engine and
remind the firmware about the outstanding submissions. This will be
added in different patch.

v2: rebase, advertise engine reset availability in platform definition,
add note about GuC submission.
v3: s/*engine_reset*/*reset_engine*/. (Chris)
Handle reset as 2 level resets, by first going to engine only and fall
backing to full/chip reset as needed, i.e. reset_engine will need the
struct_mutex.
v4: Pass the engine mask to i915_reset. (Chris)
v5: Rebase, update selftests.
v6: Rebase, prepare for mutex-less reset engine.
v7: Pass reset_engine mask as a function parameter, and iterate over the
engine mask for reset_engine. (Chris)
v8: Use i915.reset >=2 in has_reset_engine; remove redundant reset
logging; add a reset-engine-in-progress flag to prevent concurrent
resets, and avoid dual purposing of reset-backoff. (Chris)
v9: Support reset of different engines in parallel (Chris)
v10: Handle reset-engine flag locking better (Chris)
v11: Squash in reporting of per-engine-reset availability.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
