[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/2] gallium/docs: clarify TGSI_SEMANTIC_SAMPLEMASK, again

[Brian Paul]

I've since discovered the fragment shader sample mask system value (which
corresponds to gl_SampleMaskIn).

v2: It's a system value, not a shader input.

 TGSI_SEMANTIC_SAMPLEMASK

-For fragment shaders, this semantic label indicates that an output contains
-the sample mask used to disable further sample processing.  The output's
-type is uint[4] but only the X component is used (i.e. gl_SampleMask[0]).
-Each bit corresponds to one sample position (up to 32x MSAA is supported).
+For fragment shaders, this semantic label can be applied to either a
+shader system value input or output.
+
+For a system value, the sample mask indicates the set of samples covered by
+the current primitive.  If MSAA is not enabled, the value is (1, 0, 0, 0).
+
+For an output, the sample mask is used to disable further sample processing.

+For both, the register type is uint[4] but only the X component is used
+(i.e. gl_SampleMask[0]). Each bit corresponds to one sample position (up
