Francisco Jerez f80af89d48 ra: Disable round-robin strategy for optimistically colorable nodes.
The round-robin allocation strategy is expected to decrease the amount
of false dependencies created by the register allocator and give the
post-RA scheduling pass more freedom to move instructions around.  On
the other hand it has the disadvantage of increasing fragmentation and
decreasing the number of equally-colored nearby nodes, what increases
the likelihood of failure in presence of optimistically colorable
nodes.

This patch disables the round-robin strategy for optimistically
colorable nodes.  These typically arise in situations of high register
pressure or for registers with large live intervals, in both cases the
task of the instruction scheduler shouldn't be constrained excessively
by the dense packing of those nodes, and a spill (or on Intel hardware
a fall-back to SIMD8 mode) is invariably worse than a slightly less
optimal scheduling.

Shader-db results on the i965 driver:

total instructions in shared programs: 5488539 -> 5488489 (-0.00%)
instructions in affected programs:     1121 -> 1071 (-4.46%)
helped:                                1
HURT:                                  0
GAINED:                                49
LOST:                                  5

v2: Re-enable round-robin already for the lowest one of the nodes
    pushed optimistically onto the sack (Connor).
v3: Use UINT_MAX instead of ~0, open-code MIN2 (Jason, Connor).

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 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.

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.
