Eric Anholt 456dbcc337 i965/fs: Before reg alloc, schedule instructions to reduce live ranges.
This came from an idea by Ben Segovia.  16-wide pixel shaders are very
important for latency hiding on i965, so we want to try really hard to
get them.  If scheduling an instruction makes some set of instructions
available, those are probably the ones that make the instruction's
result dead.  By choosing those first, we'll have a tendency to reduce
the amount of live data as opposed to creating more.

Previously, we were sometimes getting this behavior out of the
scheduler, which was what produced the scheduler's original performance
wins on lightsmark.  Unfortunately, that was mostly an accident of the
lame instruction latency information that I had, which made it
impossible to fix the actual scheduling for performance.  Now that we've
fixed the scheduling for setup for register allocation, we can safely
update the latency parameters for the final schedule.

In shader-db, we lose 37 16-wide shaders, but gain 90 new ones.  4
shaders that were spilling change how many registers spill, for a
reduction of 70/3899 instructions.

v2: Simplify the new loop.

Last updated: 23 April 2011


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.
