Kenneth Graunke 24994ae926 i965: Push most TES inputs in vec4 mode.
(This is commit 4a1c8a3037 for vec4 mode.)

Using the push model for inputs is much more efficient than pulling
inputs - the hardware can simply copy a large chunk into URB registers
at thread creation time, rather than having the thread send messages to
request data from the L3 cache.  Unfortunately, it's possible to have
more TES inputs than fit in registers, so we have to fall back to the
pull model in some cases.

However, it turns out that most tessellation evaluation shaders are
fairly simple, and don't use many inputs.  An arbitrary cut-off of
24 vec4 slots (12 registers) should suffice.  (I chose this instead of
the 32 vec4 slots used in the scalar backend to avoid regressing a few
Piglit tests due to the vec4 register allocator being too stupid to
figure out what to do.  We probably ought to fix that, but it's a
separate issue.)

Improves performance in GPUTest's tessmark_x64 microbenchmark by
41.5394% +/- 0.288519% (n = 115) at 1024x768 on my Clevo W740SU
(with Iris Pro 5200).

Improves performance in Synmark's Gl40TerrainFlyTess microbenchmark by
38.3576% +/- 0.759748% (n = 42).

v2: Simplify abs/negate handling, as requested by Matt.

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.
