On a specific Radeon R9 390X board, the GPU can "randomly" hang
while gaming. Initially I thought this was a RADV bug and tried
to work around this in Mesa:
commit 8ea08747b86b ("radv: Mitigate GPU hang on Hawaii in Dota 2 and RotTR")

However, I got some feedback from other users who are reporting
that the above mitigation causes a significant performance
regression for them, and they didn't experience the hang on their
GPU in the first place.

After some further investigation, it turns out that the problem
is that the highest SCLK DPM level on this board isn't stable.
Lowering SCLK to 1040 MHz (from 1070 MHz) works around the issue,
and has a negligible impact on performance compared to the Mesa
patch. (Note that increasing the voltage can also work around it,
but we felt that lowering the SCLK is the safer option.)

To solve the above issue, add an "sclk_cap" field to smu7_hwmgr
and set this field for the affected board. The capped SCLK value
correctly appears on the sysfs interface and shows up in GUI
tools such as LACT.

<title>drm/amd/pm/smu7: Remove non-functional SMU7 voltage dependency on DAL</title>

It looks like this was written for an old version of DC (DAL)
and was never adapted afterwards. This was non-functional
because it relied on the "dal_power_level" field which was
never assigned anywhere in the code base.

Also, it was not implemented for CI ASICs.

Now superseded by the newer voltage dependency on display
clock table added by the previous commit, let's remove.

The DCE (display controller engine) requires a minimum voltage
in order to function correctly, depending on which clock level
it currently uses.

Add a new table that contains display clock frequency levels
and the corresponding required voltages. The clock frequency
levels are taken from DC (and the old radeon driver's voltage
dependency table for CI in cases where its values were lower).
The voltage levels are taken from the following function:
phm_initializa_dynamic_state_adjustment_rule_settings().
Furthermore, in case of CI, call smu7_patch_vddc() on the new
table to account for leakage voltage (like in radeon).

Use the display clock value from amd_pp_display_configuration
to look up the voltage level needed by the DCE. Send the
voltage to the SMU via the PPSMC_MSG_VddC_Request command.

The previous implementation of this feature was non-functional
because it relied on a "dal_power_level" field which was never
assigned; and it was not at all implemented for CI ASICs.

I verified this on a Radeon R9 M380 which previously booted to
a black screen with DC enabled (default since Linux 6.19), but
now works correctly.

<title>drm/amd/pm/ci: Disable MCLK DPM on problematic CI ASICs</title>

<id>9851f29cb06c09f7dad3867d8b0feec3fc71b6c8</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two known cases where MCLK DPM can causes issues:

Radeon R9 M380 found in iMac computers from 2015.
The SMU in this GPU just hangs as soon as we send it the
PPSMC_MSG_MCLKDPM_Enable command, even when MCLK switching is
disabled, and even when we only populate one MCLK DPM level.
Apply workaround to all devices with the same subsystem ID.

Radeon R7 260X due to old memory controller microcode.
We only flash the MC ucode when it isn't set up by the VBIOS,
therefore there is no way to make sure that it has the correct
ucode version.

I verified that this patch fixes the SMU hang on the R9 M380
which would previously fail to boot. This also fixes the UVD
initialization error on that GPU which happened because the
SMU couldn't ungate the UVD after it hung.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
