Two new tracepoints placed at the call sites where requests are
actually passed to the GPU enable userspace to track engine
utilisation.

These tracepoints are only enabled when the
DRM_I915_LOW_LEVEL_TRACEPOINTS Kconfig option is enabled.

But how to get out for guc? We could do a similar in for ringbuffer.
The original way I used it was in == dispatch, out == ring-notify, which
is why trace_i915_gem_ring_dispatch enabled the signaling.

That was my thinking as well.

Hmm. Following on from that we can add the out tracepoint as a
fence-callback. For the moment, I'd drop guc/legacy
trace_i915_gem_request_in and we will try something more magical. Though
once we do enable the fake GuC scheduler we will have an appropriate
place to drop an trace_i915_gem_request_out. Just leaving ringbuffer as
the odd one out, but for who arguably the in/out logic is not as
important.

Fence signalled is very lazy if no one is listening, no? So until the GUC backend I thought request_in and deriving the _out from _notify in userspace would be OK. Meaning enable signalling stays until then.

Tvrtko
