Kenneth Graunke 96d8e48ed5 iris: Reduce SSBO alignment requirements from 64B to 4B
Back when SSBOs were first enabled in i965, we tried to work around
issues where the CPU and GPU were incoherently writing to the same
cacheline by forcing an alignment such that different sections of
data would fall in different cachelines.  This seems wrong.

On integrated GPUs with LLC, CPU and GPU writes should be coherent.
On integrated GPUs without LLC, we either enable snooping (so they
are again coherent), or we use WC maps (so the CPU cache isn't used).
Discrete GPUs always use WC maps (so the CPU cache isn't used).

This should work.  In other words, I think the increased alignment
was just working around coherency problems on atoms that have been
fixed in the intervening 6 year time period.

Untyped surface messages require 4B alignment.

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel
<irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
<https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the
mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org
