Neil Roberts 02e9773bc8 i965/fs: Strip trailing constant zeroes in sample messages
If a send message is emitted with a message length that is less than
required for the message then the remaining parameters default to
zero. We can take advantage of this to save a register when a shader
passes constant zeroes as the final coordinates to the sample
function.

I think this might be useful for GLES applications that are using 2D
textures to simulate 1D textures.

On Skylake it will be useful for shaders that do
texelFetch(tex,something,0) which I think is fairly common. This helps
more on Skylake because in that case the order of the instruction
operands are u,v,lod,r which is good for 2D textures whereas before
they were u,lod,v,r which is only good for 1D textures.

On Haswell:
total instructions in shared programs: 8535730 -> 8533261 (-0.03%)
instructions in affected programs:     236968 -> 234499 (-1.04%)
helped:                                1174

On Skylake:
total instructions in shared programs: 10345646 -> 10341237 (-0.04%)
instructions in affected programs:     293011 -> 288602 (-1.50%)

v2: Applied suggestions by Kenneth Graunke:
    - Only apply on Gen5+
    - Apply to all texture opcodes, not just TEX and TXF.
    Moved the optimisation into the loop as suggested by Matt Turner.
    Fix the array index when there is a header.

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

- install python 2.7
- install scons (latest)
- install mingw, flex, and bison
- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
- install git
- download mesa from git
  see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
- run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
