Right, I went for both in the end; EBADF if fdget fails and EINVAL if
the fd is ok but we fail to lookup a context with it.

Ah yes; fixed.

Ok, using i915_mutex_interruptible makes sense, I've also moved the
locking into init_oa_buffer.
About the GPU error handling, do you have any thoughts on what could
be most helpful here? I'm thinking a.t.m of extending
i915_capture_reg_state() in i915_gpu_error.c to capture the OACONTROL
+ OASTATUS state and perhaps all the UCGCTL unit clock gating state
too.

Yes, it's a shame.
I probably only really know enough about the OA unit design to be
dangerous and won't try and comment in detail here, but I think
there's more to it than not saving state in a power context. As I
understand it, there were a number of design changes made to enable
OA+RC6 support for BDW+, including having the OA unit automatically
write out reports to the OA buffer when entering RC6.
I think just FORCEWAKE_RENDER would work here, but only say that
because it looks like HSW only has the render forcewake domain from
what I could tell.
I think I need to update the comment above these lines as I don't
think these will affect crclk gating; these just handle disabling RC6.
The WIP patch I sent out basically represents me trying to get to the
bottom of the clock gating constraints we have.
At this point I think I need to disable CS unit gating via UCGCTL1, as
well as DOP gating for the render trunk clock via MISCCPCTL but I'm
not entirely confident about that just yet. At least empirically I see
these fixing some issues in rudimentary testing.

ok, not sure if this is a prod to add that, a heads up that this is
coming or seething because some prior attempt to add this was nack'd.

ok, so I still haven't put write barriers within update_oacontrol()
itself, but I've now added mmiowb()s just before unlocking which is
done outside of the update_oacontrol(). I think a barrier just within
update_oacontrol() could be ok a.t.m while the pinning hooks currently
just use update_oacontol(), but in case we might introduce more
overlapping mmio configuration within these critical sections, waiting
until the unlock might be preferable. On the other hand, a.t.m the
pinning callbacks now have redundant wb()s while there is no specific
context filtering - not sure if that should be a concern.
Looking at this, I also didn't feel happy with the way I reset
oa_pmu->specific_context when destroying an event, considering that
->specific_context being set is what determines whether the pinning
callbacks may call update_oacontrol() asynchronously with respect to
the pmu methods. Although we know oacontrol will be disabled by the
time we come to destroy an event, it didn't seem great that that we
could be continuing to run update_oacontrol() up to the point where we
are resetting all the clock gating, power management and NOA enable
state. I'll attach a separate patch to see if you agree this is worth
changing.
Thanks for the comments.
