drm/i915: Execlists small cleanups and micro-optimisations
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.
