drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded
It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when
there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command
submission.
This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the
chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere.
Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of
eight.
Work around it by introducing a new power domain named,
POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is
held for the duration of command submission activity.
CNL has the same problem which will be addressed as a follow-up. Doing
that requires a fix for a DC6 context corruption problem in the CNL DMC
firmware which is yet to be released.
v2:
* Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson)
* Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula)
v3:
* Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre)
* Commit message and comment text updates.
* Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC
firmware release.
v4:
* Power domain should be inner to device runtime pm. (Chris)
* Simplify NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro. (Chris)
* Handle async DMC loading by moving the GT_IRQ power domain logic into
intel_runtime_pm. (Daniel, Chris)
* Include small core GEN9 as well. (Imre)
v5
* Special handling for async DMC load is not needed since on failure the
power domain reference is kept permanently taken. (Imre)
v6:
* Drop the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro since all firmwares have now been
deployed. (Imre, Chris)
