/* Mali GPUs are tiled-mode renderers, rather than immediate-mode.
 * Conceptually, the screen is divided into 16x16 tiles. Vertex shaders run.
 * Then, a fixed-function hardware block (the tiler) consumes the gl_Position
 * results. For each triangle specified, it marks each containing tile as
 * containing that triangle. This set of "triangles per tile" form the "polygon
 * list". Finally, the rasterization unit consumes the polygon list to invoke
 * the fragment shader.
 *
 * In practice, it's a bit more complicated than this. On Midgard chips with an
 * "advanced tiling unit" (all except T720/T820/T830), 16x16 is the logical
 * tile size, but Midgard features "hierarchical tiling", where power-of-two
 * multiples of the base tile size can be used: hierarchy level 0 (16x16),
 * level 1 (32x32), level 2 (64x64), per public information about Midgard's
 * tiling. In fact, tiling goes up to 4096x4096 (!), although in practice
 * 128x128 is the largest usually used (though higher modes are enabled).  The
 * idea behind hierarchical tiling is to use low tiling levels for small
 * triangles and high levels for large triangles, to minimize memory bandwidth
 * and repeated fragment shader invocations (the former issue inherent to
 * immediate-mode rendering and the latter common in traditional tilers).
 *
 * The tiler itself works by reading varyings in and writing a polygon list
 * out. Unfortunately (for us), both of these buffers are managed in main
 * memory; although they ideally will be cached, it is the drivers'
 * responsibility to allocate these buffers. Varying buffer allocation is
 * handled elsewhere, as it is not tiler specific; the real issue is allocating
 * the polygon list.
 *
 * This is hard, because from the driver's perspective, we have no information
 * about what geometry will actually look like on screen; that information is
 * only gained from running the vertex shader. (Theoretically, we could run the
 * vertex shaders in software as a prepass, or in hardware with transform
 * feedback as a prepass, but either idea is ludicrous on so many levels).
 *
 * Instead, Mali uses a bit of a hybrid approach, splitting the polygon list
 * into three distinct pieces. First, the driver statically determines which
 * tile hierarchy levels to use (more on that later). At this point, we know the
 * framebuffer dimensions and all the possible tilings of the framebuffer, so
 * we know exactly how many tiles exist across all hierarchy levels. The first
 * piece of the polygon list is the header, which is exactly 8 bytes per tile,
 * plus padding and a small 64-byte prologue. (If that doesn't remind you of
 * AFBC, it should. See pan_afbc.c for some fun parallels). The next part is
 * the polygon list body, which seems to contain 512 bytes per tile, again
 * across every level of the hierarchy. These two parts form the polygon list
 * buffer. This buffer has a statically determinable size, approximately equal
 * to the # of tiles across all hierarchy levels * (8 bytes + 512 bytes), plus
 * alignment / minimum restrictions / etc.
 *
 * The third piece is the easy one (for us): the tiler heap. In essence, the
 * tiler heap is a gigantic slab that's as big as could possibly be necessary
 * in the worst case imaginable. Just... a gigantic allocation that we give a
 * start and end pointer to. What's the catch? The tiler heap is lazily
 * allocated; that is, a huge amount of memory is _reserved_, but only a tiny
 * bit is actually allocated upfront. The GPU just keeps using the
 * unallocated-but-reserved portions as it goes along, generating page faults
 * if it goes beyond the allocation, and then the kernel is instructed to
 * expand the allocation on page fault (known in the vendor kernel as growable
 * memory). This is quite a bit of bookkeeping of its own, but that task is
 * pushed to kernel space and we can mostly ignore it here, just remembering to
 * set the GROWABLE flag so the kernel actually uses this path rather than
 * allocating a gigantic amount up front and burning a hole in RAM.
 *
 * As far as determining which hierarchy levels to use, the simple answer is
 * that right now, we don't. In the tiler configuration fields (consistent from
 * the earliest Midgard's SFBD through the latest Bifrost traces we have),
 * there is a hierarchy_mask field, controlling which levels (tile sizes) are
 * enabled. Ideally, the hierarchical tiling dream -- mapping big polygons to
 * big tiles and small polygons to small tiles -- would be realized here as
 * well. As long as there are polygons at all needing tiling, we always have to
 * have big tiles available, in case there are big polygons. But we don't
 * necessarily need small tiles available. Ideally, when there are small
 * polygons, small tiles are enabled (to avoid waste from putting small
 * triangles in the big tiles); when there are not, small tiles are disabled to
 * avoid enabling more levels than necessary, which potentially costs in memory
 * bandwidth / power / tiler performance.
 *
 * Of course, the driver has to figure this out statically. When tile
 * hiearchies are actually established, this occurs by the tiler in
 * fixed-function hardware, after the vertex shaders have run and there is
 * sufficient information to figure out the size of triangles. The driver has
 * no such luxury, again barring insane hacks like additionally running the
 * vertex shaders in software or in hardware via transform feedback. Thus, for
 * the driver, we need a heuristic approach.
 *
 * There are lots of heuristics to guess triangle size statically you could
 * imagine, but one approach shines as particularly simple-stupid: assume all
 * on-screen triangles are equal size and spread equidistantly throughout the
 * screen. Let's be clear, this is NOT A VALID ASSUMPTION. But if we roll with
 * it, then we see:
 *
 *      Triangle Area   = (Screen Area / # of triangles)
 *                      = (Width * Height) / (# of triangles)
 *
 * Or if you prefer, we can also make a third CRAZY assumption that we only draw
 * right triangles with edges parallel/perpendicular to the sides of the screen
 * with no overdraw, forming a triangle grid across the screen:
 *
 * |--w--|
 *  _____   |
 * | /| /|  |
 * |/_|/_|  h
 * | /| /|  |
 * |/_|/_|  |
 *
 * Then you can use some middle school geometry and algebra to work out the
 * triangle dimensions. I started working on this, but realised I didn't need
 * to to make my point, but couldn't bare to erase that ASCII art. Anyway.
 *
 * POINT IS, by considering the ratio of screen area and triangle count, we can
 * estimate the triangle size. For a small size, use small bins; for a large
 * size, use large bins. Intuitively, this metric makes sense: when there are
 * few triangles on a large screen, you're probably compositing a UI and
 * therefore the triangles are large; when there are a lot of triangles on a
 * small screen, you're probably rendering a 3D mesh and therefore the
 * triangles are tiny. (Or better said -- there will be tiny triangles, even if
 * there are also large triangles. There have to be unless you expect crazy
 * overdraw. Generally, it's better to allow more small bin sizes than
 * necessary than not allow enough.)
 *
 * From this heuristic (or whatever), we determine the minimum allowable tile
 * size, and we use that to decide the hierarchy masking, selecting from the
 * minimum "ideal" tile size to the maximum tile size (2048x2048 in practice).
 *
 * Once we have that mask and the framebuffer dimensions, we can compute the
 * size of the statically-sized polygon list structures, allocate them, and go!
 *
 * -----
 *
 * On T720, T820, and T830, there is no support for hierarchical tiling.
 * Instead, the hardware allows the driver to select the tile size dynamically
 * on a per-framebuffer basis, including allowing rectangular/non-square tiles.
 * Rules for tile size selection are as follows:
 *
 *  - Dimensions must be powers-of-two.
 *  - The smallest tile is 16x16.
 *  - The tile width/height is at most the framebuffer w/h (clamp up to 16 pix)
 *  - There must be no more than 64 tiles in either dimension.
 *
 * Within these constraints, the driver is free to pick a tile size according
 * to some heuristic, similar to units with an advanced tiling unit.
 *
 * To pick a size without any heuristics, we may satisfy the constraints by
 * defaulting to 16x16 (a power-of-two). This fits the minimum. For the size
 * constraint, consider:
 *
 *      # of tiles < 64
 *      ceil (fb / tile) < 64
 *      (fb / tile) <= (64 - 1)
 *      tile <= fb / (64 - 1) <= next_power_of_two(fb / (64 - 1))
 *
 * Hence we clamp up to align_pot(fb / (64 - 1)).

 * Extending to use a selection heuristic left for future work.
 *
 * Once the tile size (w, h) is chosen, we compute the hierarchy "mask":
 *
 *      hierarchy_mask = (log2(h / 16) << 6) | log2(w / 16)
 *
 * Of course with no hierarchical tiling, this is not a mask; it's just a field
 * specifying the tile size. But I digress.
 *
 * We also compute the polgon list sizes (with framebuffer size W, H) as:
 *
 *      full_size = 0x200 + 0x200 * ceil(W / w) * ceil(H / h)
 *      offset = 8 * ceil(W / w) * ceil(H / h)
 *
 * It further appears necessary to round down offset to the nearest 0x200.
 * Possibly we would also round down full_size to the nearest 0x200 but
 * full_size/0x200 = (1 + ceil(W / w) * ceil(H / h)) is an integer so there's
 * nothing to do.
