[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 11/11] ac/radv: using tls to store llvm related info and speed up compiles (v3)

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

I'd like to encourage people to test this to see if it helps (like
does it make app startup better or less hitching in dxvk).

The basic idea is to store a bunch of LLVM related data structs
in thread local storage so we can avoid reiniting them every time
we compile a shader. Since we know llvm objects aren't thread safe
it has to be stored using TLS to avoid any collisions.

This should remove all the fixed overheads setup costs of creating
the pass manager each time.

This takes a demo app time to compile the radv meta shaders on nocache
and exit from 1.7s to 1s.

TODO: this doesn't work for radeonsi yet, but I'm not sure how TLS
works if you have radeonsi and radv loaded at the same time, if
they'll magically try and use the same tls stuff, in which case
this might explode all over the place.

v2: fix llvm6 build, inline emit function, handle multiple targets
in one thread
v3: rebase and port onto new structure
