Linux kernel source tree

A workaround was added to the driver to allow compute workloads to run 'forever' by disabling pre-emption on the RCS engine for Gen12. It is not totally unbound as the heartbeat will kick in eventually and cause a reset of the hung engine. However, this does not work well in GuC submission mode. In GuC mode, the pre-emption timeout is how GuC detects hung contexts and triggers a per engine reset. Thus, disabling the timeout means also losing all per engine reset ability. A full GT reset will still occur when the heartbeat finally expires, but that is a much more destructive and undesirable mechanism. The purpose of the workaround is actually to give compute tasks longer to reach a pre-emption point after a pre-emption request has been issued. This is necessary because Gen12 does not support mid-thread pre-emption and compute tasks can have long running threads. So, rather than disabling the timeout completely, just set it to a 'long' value. v2: Review feedback from Tvrtko - must hard code the 'long' value instead of determining it algorithmically. So make it an extra CONFIG definition. Also, remove the execlist centric comment from the existing pre-emption timeout CONFIG option given that it applies to more than just execlists.

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 Restructured Text 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.
