By recording the location of every request in the ringbuffer, we know
that in order to retire the request the GPU must have finished reading
it and so the GPU head is now beyond the tail of the request. We can
therefore provide a conservative estimate of where the GPU is reading
from in order to avoid having to read back the ring buffer registers
when polling for space upon starting a new write into the ringbuffer.
A secondary effect is that this allows us to convert
intel_ring_buffer_wait() to use i915_wait_request() and so consolidate
upon the single function to handle the complicated task of waiting upon
the GPU. A necessary precaution is that we need to make that wait
uninterruptible to match the existing conditions as all the callers of
intel_ring_begin() have not been audited to handle ERESTARTSYS
correctly.
By using a conservative estimate for the head, and always processing all
outstanding requests first, we prevent a race condition between using
the estimate and direct reads of I915_RING_HEAD which could result in
the value of the head going backwards, and the tail overflowing once
again. We are also careful to mark any request that we skip over in
order to free space in ring as consumed which provides a
self-consistency check.
Given sufficient abuse, such as a set of unthrottled GPU bound
cairo-traces, avoiding the use of I915_RING_HEAD gives a 10-20% boost on
Sandy Bridge (i5-2520m):
firefox-paintball 18927ms -> 15646ms: 1.21x speedup
firefox-fishtank 12563ms -> 11278ms: 1.11x speedup
which is a mild consolation for the performance those traces achieved from
exploiting the buggy autoreported head.
v2: Add a few more comments and make request->tail a conservative
estimate as suggested by Daniel Vetter.

While I think the previous code is correct, it was hard to follow and
hard to debug. Since we already have a ring abstraction, might as well
use it to handle the semaphore updates and compares.
I don't expect this code to make semaphores better or worse, but you

Whilst the GT is powered down (rc6), writes to MMADDR are placed in a
FIFO by the System Agent. This is a limited resource, only 64 entries, of
which 20 are reserved for Display and PCH writes, and so we must take
care not to queue up too many writes. To avoid this, there is counter
which we can poll to ensure there are sufficient free entries in the
fifo.
"Issuing a write to a full FIFO is not supported; at worst it could
result in corruption or a system hang."

During suspend, Linus found that his machine would hang for 3 seconds,
and identified that intel_ring_buffer_wait() was the culprit:
"Because from looking at the code, I get the notion that
"intel_read_status_page()" may not be exact. But what happens if that
inexact value matches our cached ring->actual_head, so we never even
try to read the exact case? Does it _stay_ inexact for arbitrarily
long times? If so, we might wait for the ring to empty forever (well,
until the timeout - the behavior I see), even though the ring really
_is_ empty."
As the reported HEAD position is only updated every time it crosses a
64k boundary, whilst draining the ring it is indeed likely to remain one
value. If that value matches the last known HEAD position, we never read
the true value from the register and so trigger a timeout.
