[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v4 00/44] anv: SPV_KHR_16bit_storage/VK_KHR_16bit_storage for gen8+

While reviewing some of the UBO pushing comments from Topi, I discovered a
fairly disturbing assert in brw_fs_nir.cpp in our implementation of
nir_intrinsic_load_uniform:

         /* Offsets are in bytes but they should always be multiples of 4 */
         assert(const_offset->u32[0] % 4 == 0);

This assertion isn't triggering with 16bit storage enabled for push
constants.  Looking at the CTS tests in a bit more detail, they're very
poor.  They only test basic types (scalars, vectors, and matrices) and only
in arrays with a dynamic index.  This means that the constant optimization
paths for UBO pulls aren't getting triggered at all.  Also, we're not using
push constants with any offsets not aligned to 4 (as per the above assert)
so there's no real assurance that that works.  Given that constant offsets
are a very common case for apps, this is very disappointing.  For the
moment, I'm going to push a patch to master to disable 16bit storage.  I'm
really sorry about that.  I think your code is great and, based on my
review, I'm pretty sure it should work but I don't think we can really ship
this extension in good faith when we know that there is a massive gaping
hole in test coverage like this.  (The coverage hole is not your fault!)
I've also filed a bug (893) against the CTS.
