This series adds a deadline hint to fences, so realtime deadlines such as vblank can be communicated to the fence signaller for power/ frequency management decisions.
This is partially inspired by a trick i915 does, but implemented via dma-fence for a couple of reasons:
1) To continue to be able to use the atomic helpers 2) To support cases where display and gpu are different drivers
This iteration adds a dma-fence ioctl to set a deadline (both to support igt-tests, and compositors which delay decisions about which client buffer to display), and a sw_sync ioctl to read back the deadline. IGT tests utilizing these can be found at:

v1: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/93035/ v2: Move filtering out of later deadlines to fence implementation to avoid increasing the size of dma_fence v3: Add support in fence-array and fence-chain; Add some uabi to support igt tests and userspace compositors. v4: Rebase, address various comments, and add syncobj deadline support, and sync_file EPOLLPRI based on experience with perf/ freq issues with clvk compute workloads on i915 (anv) v5: Clarify that this is a hint as opposed to a more hard deadline guarantee, switch to using u64 ns values in UABI (still absolute CLOCK_MONOTONIC values), drop syncobj related cap and driver feature flag in favor of allowing count_handles==0 for probing kernel support. v6: Re-work vblank helper to calculate time of _start_ of vblank, and work correctly if the last vblank event was more than a frame ago. Add (mostly unrelated) drm/msm patch which also uses the vblank helper. Use dma_fence_chain_contained(). More verbose syncobj UABI comments. Drop DMA_FENCE_FLAG_HAS_DEADLINE_BIT. v7: Fix kbuild complaints about vblank helper. Add more docs. v8: Add patch to surface sync_file UAPI, and more docs updates.
