Nirmoy Das 2368306180 drm/xe/lnl: Offload system clear page activity to GPU
On LNL because of flat CCS, driver creates migrates job to clear
CCS meta data. Extend that to also clear system pages using GPU.
Inform TTM to allocate pages without __GFP_ZERO to avoid double page
clearing by clearing out TTM_TT_FLAG_ZERO_ALLOC flag and set
TTM_TT_FLAG_CLEARED_ON_FREE while freeing to skip ttm pool's clear
on free as XE now takes care of clearing pages. If a bo is in system
placement such as BO created with  DRM_XE_GEM_CREATE_FLAG_DEFER_BACKING
and there is a cpu map then for such BO gpu clear will be avoided as
there is no dma mapping for such BO at that moment to create migration
jobs.

Tested this patch api_overhead_benchmark_l0 from
https://github.com/intel/compute-benchmarks

Without the patch:
api_overhead_benchmark_l0 --testFilter=UsmMemoryAllocation:
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=4KB) 84.206 us
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=1GB) 105775.56 us
erf tool top 5 entries:
71.44% api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] clear_page_erms
6.34%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] __pageblock_pfn_to_page
2.24%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpa_flush

1.94%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] find_next_iomem_res

With the patch:
api_overhead_benchmark_l0 --testFilter=UsmMemoryAllocation:
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=4KB) 79.439 us
UsmMemoryAllocation(api=l0 type=Host size=1GB) 98677.75 us
Perf tool top 5 entries:
11.16% api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] __pageblock_pfn_to_page
7.85%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpa_flush
7.59%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] find_next_iomem_res

5.53%  api_overhead_be  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] lookup_address_in_pgd_attr

Without this patch clear_page_erms() dominates execution time which is
also not pipelined with migration jobs. With this patch page clearing
will get pipelined with migration job and will free CPU for more work.

v2: Handle regression on dgfx(Himal)
    Update commit message as no ttm API changes needed.
v3: Fix Kunit test.
v4: handle data leak on cpu mmap(Thomas)
v5: s/gpu_page_clear/gpu_page_clear_sys and move setting
    it to xe_ttm_sys_mgr_init() and other nits (Matt Auld)
v6: Disable it when init_on_alloc and/or init_on_free is active(Matt)
    Use compute-benchmarks as reporter used it to report this
    allocation latency issue also a proper test application than mime.
    In v5, the test showed significant reduction in alloc latency but
    that is not the case any more, I think this was mostly because
    previous test was done on IFWI which had low mem BW from CPU.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
