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.
