Recording damage from other operations (e.g. creating a client damage record)
may confuse the migration code resulting in corruption.
Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" appears safe now, so enable it by default. Also
remove it from the manpage, as it should only be necessary on request in the
course of bug report diagnostics anymore.
This was an attempt to avoid scratch gc creation and validation for paintwin
because that was expensive. This is not the case in current servers, and the
danger of failure to implement it correctly (as seen in all previous
implementations) is high enough to justify removing it. No performance
difference detected with x11perf -create -move -resize -circulate on Xvfb.
Leave the screen hooks for PaintWindow* in for now to avoid ABI change.
Improve exaShmPutImage performance and reuse its core in exaPutImage as it
seems faster than the previous code when the driver doesn't provide an
UploadToScreen hook.
Make sure all damage records are notified of the damage incurred by actual
ShmPutImage calls.
Remove superfluous manual damage tracking for actual PutImage calls.
Exclude bits that will be overwritten from migration.
Use exaGlyphs even when Composite can't be accelerated, to avoid PolyFillRect
roundtrip via offscreen memory.
Initialize mask pixmap in exaGlyphs in FB in addition to system if the driver
provides Composite hooks to avoid migration overhead.
Remove manual damage tracking where superfluous.
Initialize system and FB copy in exaFillRegionSolid and adapt
exaGetPixmapFirstPixel to the new migration infrastructure.
This should mostly eliminate migration overhead for these, whether they are
used for acceleration or fallbacks.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
The fb pointer would be left uninitialized when exaPixmapIsOffscreen
returned false. When it returned true and the pixmap was damaged,
fb would be initialized from the pixmap's devPrivate.ptr before the
exaDoMigration and exaPrepareAccess calls, at which point
devPrivate.ptr would still be pointing at offscreen memory.
If the pixel in framebuffer memory isn't modified since we uploaded it, we
can just read from the system memory copy, wihch avoids both a readback and
an accelerator stall.
In principle this function is still wrong, and all the framebuffer pixel
access should be going through (w)fb so we can get pixel layout corrections.
* Convert rects to region and use it for damage tracking.
* When possible, defer to exaFillRegion{Solid,Tiled} using converted region.
* Always migrate for fallbacks.
* Move damage tracking out of ExaCheckPolyFillRect.
Mostly due to exaDrawableDirty() now calculating the backing pixmap coordinates
internally, for cases where they aren't trivially known. There's a new
exaPixmapDirty() function for the other cases.
which still happen somewhat frequently and were cluttering up my
fallback debugging output. x11perf says it's a major performance win in
those cases (though probably irrelevant), and it passes Xlib9.
implementation to avoid unprepared access to the tile. Also, relocate
the fbGetDrawable to avoid using a stale dest pointer after
exaSolidBoxClipped() may have migrated it. Revealed by xtest.
devPrivate.ptr when pointing at offscreen memory, outside of
exaPrepare/FinishAccess(). This was used with fakexa to find (by NULL
dereference) many instances of un-Prepared CPU access to the
framebuffer:
- GC tiles used in several ops when fillStyle == FillTiled were never
Prepared.
- Migration could lead to un-Prepared access to mask data in render's
Trapezoids and Triangles
- PutImage's UploadToScreen failure fallback failed to Prepare.
plug in the accelerated one, even if the destination pixmap is
currently offscreen. This was a leftover from when kaa originally got
accelerated offscreen pixmap support, and its only concievable use was
to avoid a little overhead on ops to in-system pixmaps that weren't
going to get migrated. At this point, we probably care more about just
getting everything accelerated that we easily can, which should happen
with the new migration support.
manual conversion to allow for different migration schemes to be
implemented reasonably, but does include some minor improvements such
as accounting for pinned pixmaps not being acceleratable, and for our
current GetImage and GetSpans not being accelerated.
pixmaps's contents are undefined, so we won't need to upload the
undefined contents in MoveIn. Use the ExaCheck* for async ops as well,
so that dirty is always tracked. While the performance impact for my ls
-lR test was not significant (though the avoiding-upload path was being
hit), it's likely to be important for the upcoming Get/PutImage
acceleration from ajax.
than the max, it was bumped, and then if you were above the threshhold
you got moved in. Instead, do the above-threshhold check separate from
score starting out less than max. While this will likely make thrashing
cases worse, I hope it will fix some issues with long term performance
(think of an xcompmgr with a backbuffer it's doing only accelerated
operations to. If some new pixmap comes in and bumps it out, even once,
it will never get a chance to re-migrate because its score will be
maxed). Change migration-out to be the same way for symmetry, though it
shouldn't ever affect anything.
- Fix a lot of debugging output, both in terms of printing quality, and
completeness. The fallback debugging covers a lot more now, pointing
out new areas for improvement. Debugging toggles are now centralized in
exaPriv.h.
around CPU access to the framebuffer. This allows the hardware to set
up swappers to deal with endianness, or to tell EXA to move the pixmap
out to framebuffer if insufficient swappers are available (note: must
not fail on front buffer!).

Now, if either source or dest were in framebuffer, try to get both
there, but prefer system memory for both otherwise. Required making
exaasync.c go through the try-acceleration path. This significantly
improves window resizing under composite, because previously the
pattern of creating a new pixmap and copying default contents from the
screen caused a fallback every time due to the new destination pixmap
being in system memory.
