2022-05-26lib/intel_allocator: Add flag signalling multiprocess readynessZbigniew Kempczyński
Currently when children processes try to communicate to not existing allocator thread they got crash with vague SIGSEGV. Adding readyness flag and detailed explanation in assert should hint the developer to add missing intel_allocator_multiprocess_start|stop) functions.

2021-04-13lib/intel_allocator_msgchannel: Scale to 4k of parallel clientsZbigniew Kempczyński
When playing with multiprocess mode in allocator we're currently using sysvipc message queues in blocking mode (request/response). We can calculate then what is maximum depth for the queue for requested number of children. Change alters kernel queue depth to cover 4k users (1 is main thread and 4095 are children). We're still prone to unlimited wait in allocator thread (more than 4095 children successfully send the messages) but we're going to address this later.

2021-04-13lib/intel_allocator: Add intel_allocator coreZbigniew Kempczyński
For discrete gens we have to cease of using relocations when batch buffers are submitted to GPU. On cards which have ppgtt we can use softpin establishing addresses on our own. We added simple allocator (taken from Mesa; works on lists) and random allocator to exercise batches with different addresses. All of that works for single VM (context) so we have to add additional layer (intel_allocator) to support multiprocessing / multithreading. For main IGT process (also for threads created in it) intel_allocator resolves addresses "locally", just by mutexing access to global allocator data (ctx/vm map). When fork() is in use children cannot establish addresses on they own and have to contact to the thread spawned within main IGT process. Currently SysV IPC message queue was chosen as a communication channel between children and allocator thread. Child calls same functions as main IGT process, only communication path will be chosen instead of acquiring addresses locally. v2: Add intel_allocator_open_full() to allow user pass vm range. Add strategy: NONE, LOW_TO_HIGH, HIGH_TO_LOW passed to allocator backend. v3: Child is now able to use allocator directly as standalone. It only need to call intel_allocator_init() to reinitialize appropriate structures. v4: Add pseudo allocator - INTEL_ALLOCATOR_RELOC which just increments offsets to avoid unnecessary conditional code. v5: Alter allocator core according to igt_map changes. v6: Add internal version __intel_allocator_alloc() to return ALLOC_INVALID_ADDRESS without assertion. v7: Add libatomic for linking libigt library. It is required on some archs, like mips.
