v18 cover Add memory bandwidth management to NVIDIA Tegra DRM driver

This series adds memory bandwidth management to the NVIDIA Tegra DRM driver, which is done using interconnect framework. It fixes display corruption that happens due to insufficient memory bandwidth.

Changelog:

v18: - Moved total peak bandwidth from CRTC state to plane state and removed
dummy plane bandwidth state initialization from T186+ plane hub. This was suggested by Thierry Reding to v17.

- I haven't done anything about the cursor's plane bandwidth which doesn't contribute to overlapping bandwidths for a small sized window because it works okay as-is.

v17: - No changes, re-sending for v5.14.

v16: - Implemented suggestions that were given by Michał Mirosław to v15.

- Added r-b from Michał Mirosław to the debug-stats patch.

- Rebased on top of a recent linux-next.

- Removed bandwidth scaling based on width difference of src/dst windows since it's not actual anymore. Apparently the recent memory driver changes fixed problems that I witnessed before.

- Average bandwidth calculation now won't overflow for 4k resolutions.

- Average bandwidth calculation now uses the size of the visible area instead of the src area since debug stats of the memory controller clearly show that downscaled window takes less bandwidth, proportionally to the scaled size.

- Bandwidth calculation now uses "adjusted mode" of the CRTC, which is what used for h/w programming, instead of the mode that was requested by userspace, although the two usually match in practice.

v15: - Corrected tegra_plane_icc_names[] NULL-check that was partially lost
by accident in v14 after unsuccessful rebase.

v14: - Made improvements that were suggested by Michał Mirosław to v13:

- Changed 'unsigned int' to 'bool'.
- Renamed functions which calculate bandwidth state.
- Reworked comment in the code that explains why downscaled plane require higher bandwidth.
- Added round-up to bandwidth calculation.
- Added sanity checks of the plane index and fixed out-of-bounds access which happened on T124 due to the cursor plane index.

v13: - No code changes. Patches missed v5.12, re-sending them for v5.13.

PATCH v18 1/2 drm/tegra: dc: Support memory bandwidth management

Display controller (DC) performs isochronous memory transfers, and thus, has a requirement for a minimum memory bandwidth that shall be fulfilled, otherwise framebuffer data can't be fetched fast enough and this results in a DC's data-FIFO underflow that follows by a visual corruption.

The Memory Controller drivers provide facility for memory bandwidth management via interconnect API. Let's wire up the interconnect API support to the DC driver in order to fix the distorted display output on T30 Ouya, T124 TK1 and other Tegra devices.

PATCH v18 2/2 drm/tegra: dc: Extend debug stats with total number of events

In reply to Dmitry Osipenko

It's useful to know the total number of underflow events and currently the debug stats are getting reset each time CRTC is being disabled. Let's account the overall number of events that doesn't get a reset.

The display controller does _NOT_WORK_ properly without bandwidth management. Can we get this patch into 5.14? What is the problem?

That's surprising. So either it has never worked before (which I think I'd know) or something has caused this regression recently. In the latter case we need to identify what that was and revert (or fix) it.

There was not enough time to review and test this, so I didn't feel comfortable picking it up so close to the -rc6 cut-off. I plan to pick this up early in the v5.14 release cycle and target v5.15.

The problem is caused by the support of dynamic memory frequency scaling which does a good job at keeping memory in a low power state during idle time. So display controller may not get enough bandwidth at the start of scanout if it won't request BW beforehand. This problem existed for many years on T124 and now T20/30 are also affected. The DC of T20 is the least tolerant to memory bandwidth troubles.

This problem is not critical, but it hurts user experience since high resolution modes may not work at all and display output may become distorted, requiring a DC reset.

Thank you for the explanation! It's not uncommon to forget about patches, so the silence worries me. I hoped that both the dynamic freq scaling and display BW support would be merged around the same time, but apparently we got a disconnect here.
