drm/i915: Use unlocked register accesses for LUT loads
We have to bash in a lot of registers to load the higher
precision LUT modes. The locking overhead is significant, especially
as we have to get this done as quickly as possible during vblank.
So let's switch to unlocked accesses for these. Fortunately the LUT
registers are mostly spread around such that two pipes do not have
any registers on the same cacheline. So as long as commits on the
same pipe are serialized (which they are) we should get away with
this without angering the hardware.
The only exceptions are the PREC_PIPEGCMAX registers on ilk/snb which
we don't use atm as they are only used in the 12bit gamma mode. If/when
we add support for that we may need to remember to still serialize
those registers, though I'm not sure ilk/snb are actually affected
by the same cacheline issue. I think ivb/hsw at least were, but they
use a different set of registers for the precision LUT.
I have a test case which is updating the LUTs on two pipes from a
single atomic commit. Running that in a loop for a minute I get the
following worst case with the locks in place:
intel_crtc_vblank_work_start: pipe B, frame=10037, scanline=1081
intel_crtc_vblank_work_start: pipe A, frame=12274, scanline=769
intel_crtc_vblank_work_end: pipe A, frame=12274, scanline=58
intel_crtc_vblank_work_end: pipe B, frame=10037, scanline=74
And here's the worst case with the locks removed:
intel_crtc_vblank_work_start: pipe B, frame=5869, scanline=1081
intel_crtc_vblank_work_start: pipe A, frame=7616, scanline=769
intel_crtc_vblank_work_end: pipe B, frame=5869, scanline=1096
intel_crtc_vblank_work_end: pipe A, frame=7616, scanline=777
The test was done on a snb using the 10bit 1024 entry LUT mode.
The vtotals for the two displays are 793 and 1125. So we can
see that with the locks ripped out the LUT updates are pretty
nicely confined within the vblank, whereas with the locks in
place we're routinely blasting past the vblank end which causes
visual artifacts near the top of the screen.
