Chad Versace 413c491412 intel: Improve teximage perf for Google Chrome paint rects (v3)
This patch reduces the time spent in glTexImage and glTexSubImage by
over 5x on Sandybridge for the workload described below.

It adds a new fast path for glTexImage2D and glTexSubImage2D,
intel_texsubimage_tiled_memcpy, which is optimized for Google Chrome's
paint rectangles. The fast path is implemented only for 2D GL_BGRA
textures for chipsets with a LLC.

=== Performance Analysis ===

Workload description:

    Personalize your google.com page with a wallpaper.  Start chromium
with flags "--ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-accelerated-painting
--force-compositing-mode".  Start recording with chrome://tracing. Visit
google.com and wait for page to finish rendering.  Measure the time spent
by process CrGpuMain in GLES2DecoderImpl::HandleTexImage2D and
HandleTexSubImage2D.

System config:

    cpu: Sandybridge Mobile GT2+ (0x0126)
    kernel 3.4.9 x86_64
    chromium 21.0.1180.89 (154005)

Statistics:

                  | N   Median  Avg   Stddev
    --------------|-------------------------
    before (msec) | 8   472.5  463.75 72.6
    after  (msec) | 8    78.0   79.6   5.7

    Arithmetic difference at 95.0% confidence:
       -384.1  +/- 55.2 msec
        -82.8% +/- 11.9%

    Ratio at 95.0% confidence:
          5.81 +/- 0.119

v2:
    - Replace check for `intel->gen >= 6` with `intel->has_llc`, per
      danvet.
    - Fix typo in comment, s/throuh/through/.
    - Swap 'before' and 'after' rows in stat table.

v3:
    - If the current batch references the bo, then flush batch before mapping
      the bo. Found by Chris.
    - Restrict supported texture images to level 0 of target
      GL_TEXTURE_2D. This avoids an arithmetic bug in calculating image
      offsets within the miptree, found by Paul. This restriction does not
      diminish this patch's benefit to Chrome OS performance.
    - Use less instructions for bit6 swizzling, suggested by Paul.
    - Remove erroneous comment about Y-tiling, for Paul.
    - Print perf_debug messages when flushing and stalling.
    - Update stats in commit message; run workload under a release build
      rather than a debug build.

Note: This is a candidate for the 9.0 branch.

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

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

Run

  scons osmesa mesagdi

to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or

  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.


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.
