The current kernel implementation, which grabs the idle VMID from pool when
emitting the job may:
The back-to-back submission from one process could use different VMID.
The submission to different queues from single process could use different
VMID
It works well in most case but cannot work for the SQ thread trace capture.
The VMID for the submission that set the {SQTT}_BASE, which refers to the
address of the trace buffer, is stored in shader engine.
If the profiling application have to use different VMIDs to submit IBs in its
life cycle:
Some trace is not captured since it actually uses different VMID to submit
jobs.
Some part of captured trace may come from different application since they
are accidentally uses the owner???s VMID to submit jobs.
V2:
1. address Christian's comments:
a. drop context flags for tag process, instead, add vm ioctl.
b. change order of patches.
c. sync waiting only when vm flush needs.
2. address Alex's comments;
bump module version
Chunming Zhou (6):
drm/amdgpu: add vm ioctl
drm/amdgpu: add dedicated vmid field in vm struct
drm/amdgpu: reserve vmid by vm ioctl
drm/amdgpu: add limitation for dedicated vm number v2
drm/amdgpu: implement grab dedicated vmid V2
drm/amdgpu: bump module verion for reserved vmid
