Hi Adrian,

Some drivers must allocate a considerable amount of memory for bookkeeping
structures and GPU's MCU-kernel shared communication regions. These are
often created as a result of the invocation of the driver's ioctl()
interface functions, so it is sensible to consider them as being owned by
the render context associated with an open drm file.

However, at the moment drm_show_memory_stats only traverses the UM-exposed
drm objects for which a handle exists. Private driver objects and memory
regions, though connected to a render context, are unaccounted for in their
fdinfo numbers.

Add a new drm_memory_stats 'internal' memory category.

Because deciding what constitutes an 'internal' object and where to find
these are driver-dependent, calculation of this size must be done through a
driver-provided function pointer, which becomes the third argument of
drm_show_memory_stats. Drivers which have no interest in exposing the size
of internal memory objects can keep passing NULL for unaltered behaviour.

So equally as in the last round of discussion back in June, internal in 
my mind still does not fit alongside the categories.

Reason is that in some drivers, at least such as i915, "internal" can be:

a) Backed by either system memory or device memory - so this does not 
provice that visibility;

b) They can also be resident or not, active or not, etc - so from that 
angle it also does not fit.

Do you lose anything if you add the internal objects into their 
respective regions and under the existing categories? Like do you have 
an use case in mind which needs to be able to distinguish between 
userspace and internal, or the problem simply is internal are 
unaccounted for?
