[Intel-gfx] [ANNOUNCE] GLAMOR 0.4 Release

[Zhigang Gong]

sorry , there is a last minutes bug in v0.4,  As gradient shader has bugs, I
disable it but forgot to disable the finalization calling

which trigger a unresolved symbol when you quit the xserver and lead to you
can't back to the terminal which is really

bad.

 

I submit a patch to branch 0.4-fix,  and tag it as v0.4.1. Please use this
version instead of the v0.4 if you want

to give a try. Sorry again for that.

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] GLAMOR 0.4 Release

 

Hi,

 

I'm pleased to announce a new version of glamor project. The new version

is 0.4, here are the details:

 

= What's New =

 

The latest version is 0.4. Here is the new features in this release:

1. DRI2 now works well, and texture-from-pixmap also works well.

2. Fully support glx including AIGLX, indirect glx's GL context

    coexists with glamor's GL context safely. Thanks for Chris

    Wilson's help to refine this function.

3. Optimize most of the fallback path and avoid whole pixmap 

    downloading/uploading as much as possible.

4. 1BPP picture uploading now will not fallback the whole rendering

    path.

5. Fully support all color formats for GLES2 port. Thanks for

    Lipeng's contribution and testing for the GLES2 port on

    PVR545 platform. And thanks Zhengyu to fix some PVR related problems.

6. Fixed many of the bugs for cairo-test-suite, now we get almost

    identical or even better result than UXA.

7. Implemented a fbo/texture cache pool mechanism which will reduce

    the overhead of texture/fbo destruction and creation, and bring

    overall 15-20% performance improvement. On PVR545 platform, we

    even get about 10x performance improvement with this feature.

 

= How to Enable Glamor? =

To enable the Glamor, the following steps is needed:

 

1. Rebuild the mesa using the parameter:

    --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm --with-gallium-drivers=  --enable-gbm
--enable-shared-glapi --enable-glx-tls

2. Rebuild the xf86-video-intel driver, add parameter

    --enable-glamor

    to enable glamor module which is embedded in intel driver.

3. Build and install glamor source.

4. Make sure you have the xorg configure file named glamor.conf

    at conf/glamor.conf under the directory

    /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. 

    Although make install will try to install that file to the correct

    directory. But it may failed, as if you are installing the xserver

    to a local directory, then the "make install" will install

    glamor.conf to your local directory rather than the two system

    directories. So you may need to manually copy the file to the system's 

    configuration directory. Otherwise, you will encounter segfault when

    start the xserver. Here is the content of the glamor.conf.

 

  . Section "Module"

  . Load "dri2" 

  . Load "glamoregl"

  . EndSection

 

The reason why we need to load dri2/glamoregl earlier is both glx-xserver

and glamor are a dri2 loader. And glx-xserver side has a own glapi/dispatch
table 

implementation which is a subset of the standard mesa's implementation. So
if

the glx module is loaded earlier than dri2/glamoregl, then we will get an
incomplete 

dispatch table and everything is broken in glamor then. This is also why we
need to

add --enable-glx-tls parameters when build mesa, as we need to keep mesa
align 

with Xserver's behaviors, xserver will enable-glx-tls by default, but mesa
will not.

 

After you finish all the above steps, then you can try to start x with
glamor enabled

DDX. To make sure it's the glamor running, you can refer to Xorg.0.log, and 

check that the Glamor is enabled if you can find the log like:

''__intel(0): Use GLAMOR acceleration.__''

 

= Plan =

 

We plan to release next version 0.5 at early of June. And the following
major features will be added:

1. Fully gradient optimization including linear and radial. Actually, 

    the code is already in this release, but as it has some bugs and

    we disable it currently. Will fix those bug and enable it at next

    release.

2. Large pixmap support. Currently, mesa only support 8Kx8K texture

    size, if a pixmap has larger size, we have to store it in main

    memory and is not efficient. This feature will tile a large

    pixmap to a texture array.

3. Fully trapezoid optimization. Currently, the trapezoid rendering

    is not optimized, and it will call pixman to do the rasterization

    and then call glamor_composite to do the following composition,

    and then many texture uploading overhead is triggered there.

4. Fine tune the fbo cache mechanism.

 

There is also a wiki page about glamor for your reference at:

Thanks for Junyan to prepare it.
