freedreno/a3xx/compiler: new compiler

Graphics / Mesa 3D Graphics Library / Mesa - Rob Clark [freedesktop.org] - 3 February 2014 17:26 UTC

The new compiler generates a dependency graph of instructions, including a few meta-instructions to handle PHI and preserve some extra information needed for register assignment, etc.

The depth pass assigned a weight/depth to each node (based on sum of instruction cycles of a given node and all it's dependent nodes), which is used to schedule instructions. The scheduling takes into account the minimum number of cycles/slots between dependent instructions, etc. Which was something that could not be handled properly with the original compiler (which was more of a naive TGSI translator than an actual compiler).

The register assignment is currently split out as a standalone pass. I expect that it will be replaced at some point, once I figure out what to do about relative addressing (which is currently the only thing that should cause fallback to old compiler).

There are a couple new debug options for FD_MESA_DEBUG env var:

optmsgs - enable debug prints in optimizer optdump - dump instruction graph in .dot format, for example:

At this point, thanks to proper handling of instruction scheduling, the new compiler fixes a lot of things that were broken before, and does not appear to break anything that was working before[1]. So even though it is not finished, it seems useful to merge it in it's current state.

[1] Not merged in this commit, because I'm not sure if it really belongs in mesa tree, but the following commit implements a simple shader emulator, which I've used to compare the output of the new compiler to the original compiler (ie. run it on all the TGSI shaders dumped out via ST_DEBUG=tgsi with various games/apps):
