In preparation for future MTL-PXP feature support, PXP control

PXP is still a global feature though (despite its control-context
located in the owning GT structure). Additionally, we find
that the HAS_PXP macro is only used within the pxp module,

That said, lets drop that HAS_PXP macro altogether and replace it
with a more fitting named intel_gtpxp_is_supported and helpers
so that PXP init/fini can use to verify if the referenced gt supports
PXP or teelink.

Yep, I understand you as I'm not fan of these macros, specially
single usage. But we need to consider that we have multiple dependencies
there and other cases like this in the driver... Well, but I'm not
opposing, but probably better to first get rid of the macro,
then change the behavior of the function on the next patch.


Add TODO for Meteorlake that will come in future series.

This refactor patch should be standalone, without poputing it with
the changes that didn't came yet to this point.

Sure i can follow this rule, but it would then raise the question of "nothign is really changing anywhere for MTL, why
are we doing this" thats why i wanted to add that placeholder. I see "TODO"s are a common thing in the driver for larger
features that cant all be enabled at once. Respectfully and humbly, is there some documented rule? Can you show it to
me?

Separating refactoring from functional changes is one of the most basic principles we follow (and not just us) and there should never be pushback on the former due lack of functional changes.

On the basic level following this guideline makes it trivial to review the refactoring patch, and in the vast majority of cases much easier to review the functional change patch as well.

And easy to review means happy reviewers, faster turnaround time (easier to carry a rebase), happier authors, easier reverts when things go bad (only small functional patch needs to be reverted), sometimes even easier backporting if code diverged a lot.

Oh, and it even has potential to decrease internal technical debt. Often you can push refactoring upstream and keep a smaller delta behind the closed doors, when that is required.

If we are asking if it is supported on gt, then the argument must be a gt struct.

I agree with you but Daniele said above is more consistent with existing ways that is considered the standard.
Respectfully and humbly I would like to request both yourself and Daniele to show me the coding guidelines somewhere.

Honestly, this is one of the first few hunks of the first patch of the first series in a very large complex design to
enable PXP on MTL and it only a helper utility function. Respecfully and humbly, I rather we focus our energy for review
+ redo  on more critical things like the e2e usage and top-to-bottom design or coding logic flows or find actual bugs
instead of debating about coding styles for internal only helper functions.

My 2c/p is that the intel_pxp_supported_on_gt the "on_gt" part reads a bit clumsy because it makes it sound like the two are independent objects. Like I could pass one pxp to different GTs and ask if that one works here, or maybe there.

I am though a fan of intel_pxp_ prefix meaning function operates on struct intel_pxp.

In this case I don't know what is the correct relationship. If it is 1:1 between intel_pxp:intel_gt then intel_pxp_supported(pxp) sounds fine. Even if a singleton that works for me. If we do have 1:1 but only want to init the first one, but PXP truly lives in the GT block, we could have pointers per GT, with only the gt0 one being initialized, and perhaps a shadow i915->pxp pointer which points to gt[0]->pxp, if that makes for better code organisation?

I took a time to understand this movement based on the commit description.
I have the feeling that this patch deserves further split in different patches.

But also, looking a few lines above pxp_to_gt(pxp), I believe we
have further refactor to do sooner. is is one pxp per gt, then we
need to only enable in the gt0?

In our driver, PXP as reflected by the device info is being treated as a global feature.
PXP as a HW subsystem is "usable" device-wide from any workload on any engine on any tile (due to the internal mirror
component and additional plumbing across the tiles). So in line with that I rather not have the gem-exec-buf, gem-create
and gem-context calls be bothered about which GT to access to query of this global hw feature is enabled or active.
However the control point for allocating sessions, talking to the gsc firmware and doing global teardowns are only meant
to occur on and via the tile that owns the KCR engine which the media tile. This includes things like per-tile uncore
power gating controls of the GSC-CS. (although some aspects like IRQ for KCR global). So as u see its not a clean per-GT
feature.

I did speak to Daniele many months back when enabling the full feature set (on internal POC work) about whether we
should make PXP a global subsystem instead of hanging off gt but we both agreed that because the control engines are
only located on one tile, so you might face some its gonna be a trade off one way or the other:
      - pxp a global structure, then all of the init / shutdown / suspend-resume flows would then have a different set of
convoluted functions that try to get access to gt specific controls from a top level function flow.


Additionally, humbly and respectfully, perhaps you can read through the internal arch HW specs through which it can be
infered that PXP will continue to have a single entity for control events despite the feature being usable / accessible
across all tiles.
