[i-g-t,v4] tests/perf_pmu: Improve accuracy by waiting on spinner to start

Commit Message

Tvrtko Ursulin March 16, 2018, 10:17 a.m. UTC
From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

More than one test assumes that the spinner is running pretty much
immediately after we have create or submitted it.

In actuality there is a variable delay, especially on execlists platforms,
between submission and spin batch starting to run on the hardware.

To enable tests which care about this level of timing to account for this,
we add a new spin batch constructor which provides an output field which
can be polled to determine when the batch actually started running.

This is implemented via MI_STOREDW_IMM from the spin batch, writing into
memory mapped page shared with userspace.

Using this facility from perf_pmu, where applicable, should improve very
occasional test fails across the set and platforms.

v2:
 Chris Wilson:
 * Use caching mapping if available.
 * Handle old gens better.
 * Use gem_can_store_dword.
 * Cache exec obj array in spin_batch_t for easier resubmit.

v3:
 * Forgot I915_EXEC_NO_RELOC. (Chris Wilson)

v4:
 * Mask out all non-engine flags in gem_can_store_dword.
 * Added some debug logging.
