The mmio bases we're currently storing in the intel_engines array are
only valid for a subset of gens, so we need to ignore them and use
different values in some cases. Instead of doing that, we can have a
table of [starting gen, mmio base] pairs for each engine in
intel_engines and select the correct one based on the gen we're
running
on in a consistent way.

It's not bad, but I am just wondering if it is too complicated
versus simply duplicating the tables.
Duplicated tables would certainly be much less code and complexity,
but what about the size of pure data?
In this patch sizeof(struct engine_info) grows by MAX_MMIO_BASES *
sizeof(u32), so 12, to the total of 30 if I am not mistaken. Times
NUM_ENGINES equals 240 bytes for intel_engines[] array with this
scheme.
we remove a u32 (the old mmio base) so we only grow 8 per engine,
but the compiler rounds up to a multiple of u32 so 28 per engine,
for a total of 224.
Separate tables per gens would be:
sizeof(struct engine_info) is 18 bytes.
For < gen6 we'd need 3 engines * 18 = 54
< gen11 = 5 engines * 18 = 90
>= gen11 = 8 engines * 18 = 144
54 + 90 + 144 = 288 bytes
So a little bit bigger. Hm. Plus we would need to refactor so
intel_engines[] is not indexed by engine->id but is contiguous
array with engine->id in the elements. Code to lookup the compact
array should be simpler than combined new code from this patch,
especially if you add the test as Chris suggested. So separate
engine info arrays would win I think overall - when considering
size of text + size of data + size of source code.
Not sure. I would exclude the selftest, which is usually not
compiled for released kernels, which leads to:
Yes, but we cannot exclude its source since selftests for separate
tables wouldn't be needed.

Total growth is 93, which is less then your estimation for the
growth introduced by replicating the table.
But on the other hand your solution might be more future proof. So
I don't know. Use the crystal ball to decide? :)
I think we should expect that the total engine count could grow with
future gens. In this case to me adding a new entry to a unified
table seems much cleaner (and uses less data) than adding a
completely new table each time.
Okay I was off in my estimates. But in general I was coming from the
angle of thinking that every new mmio base difference in this scheme
grows the size for all engines. So if just VCS grows one new base,
impact is multiplied by NUM_ENGINES. But maybe separate tables are
also not a solution. Perhaps pulling out mmio_base arrays to outside
struct engine_info in another set of static tables, so they could be
null terminated would be best of both worlds?
struct engine_mmio_base {
u32 gen : 8;
u32 base : 24;
};
static const struct engine_mmio_base vcs0_mmio_bases[] = {
{ .gen = 11, .base = GEN11_BSD_RING_BASE },
{ .gen = 6, .base = GEN6_BSD_RING_BASE },
{ .gen = 4, .base = BSD_RING_BASE },
{ },
};
And then in intel_engines array, for BSD:
{
...
.mmio_bases = &vcs0_mmio_bases;
...
},
This way we limit data growth only to engines which change their mmio
bases frequently.
Just an idea.
I gave this a try and the code actually grows:

I have no idea what the compiler is doing to grow intel_engines, since
by replacing and array of 3 u32s with a pointer I would expect a
shrink of 4 bytes per-engine. Anyway, even without the compiler
weirdness with
It probably has to align the pointer to 8 bytes so that creates a hole.
Moving mmio_base pointer higher up, either to the top or after two
unsigned ints should work. Or packing the struct.
this method we would grow the code size of at least 4 bytes per engine
because we replace an array of 3 u32 (12B) with a pointer (8B) and an
array of at 2 or more u32 (8B+). I guess we can reconsider if/when one
engine reaches more than 3 mmio bases.
Yeah it's fine. I was thinking that since you are almost there it makes
sense to future proof it more, since no one will probably remember it
later. But OK.
One idea to compact more, in addition to avoiding alignment holes, could
be to store the engine_mmio_base directly in the engine_mmio_base
pointer when it is a single entry, othewrise use a pointer to null
terminated array. Actually we could store two without table indirection
to be most optimal on 64-bit. Something like:
struct engine_mmio_base {
u32 base : 24; /* Must be LSB, */
u32 gen : 8;
};
union engine_mmio {
struct engine_mmio_base mmio_base[2];
struct engine_mmio_base *mmio_base_list;
};
#define MMIO_PTR_LIST BIT(0)
{
... render engine ...
.mmio = { (struct engine_mmio_base){.base = ..., ..gen = ...} },
...
},
{
...
.mmio = { .mmio_base_list = &vcs0_mmio_bases | MMIO_PTR_LIST }
...
},
This could be the best of both worlds, with up to two bases built-in,
and engines with more point to an array.
