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.
Only migrate once in exaTrapezoids/Triangles instead of every time in
exaRasterizeTrapezoid/AddTriangles. Adapt manual damage tracking to new
infrastructure.
Also move definition of NeedsComponent() closer to where it's used.
We finally want to catch all cases where the pixmap pointer is dereferenced
outside of exaPrepare/FinishAccess.
Also fix a couple of such cases exposed by this change.
The initiator of migration can pass in a region that defines the relevant area
of each source pixmap or the irrelevant area of the destination pixmap. By
default, the pending damage region is assumed relevant for the destination
pixmap, and everything for source pixmaps.
Thanks to Jarno Manninen for reassuring me that my own ideas for this were
feasible and for providing additional ideas.
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.
miTrapezoids creates an alpha pixmap and initializes the contents
using PolyFillRect, which causes the pixmap to be moved in for
acceleration. The subsequent call to RasterizeTrapezoid won't be
accelerated by EXA, which causing the pixmap to be moved back out
again.
By wrapping Trapezoids and using ExaCheckPolyFillRect instead of
PolyFillRect to initialize the pixmap, we avoid this roundtrip.
Instead of system-memory data which prevents accelerated
compositing of glyphs, (at least without forcing an upload
of the glyph data before compositing).
* Support planemasks, different ALUs and arbitrary tile origin.
* Leave damage tracking and non-trivial fallbacks to callers.
* Always migrate for fallbacks.
This is in preparation for using these from more other functions.
This is a new behavior for version 2.1 of EXA, and only takes effect if the
driver has requested that. Otherwise, the previous behavior remains the same.
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.
one behaves somewhat between Greedy and Always. It moves in if we can
accelerate, unless the destination is clean and shouldn't be kept in
framebuffer according to the score, in which case we migrate out (and
force-migrate anything where migration is free). This should help fix
lack of acceleration for drivers without UTS since removing
exaAsyncPixmapGCOps, and has removed one performance trap with Radeon
I'd noticed. It is the new default.

exaPrepare/FinishAccess(). This was used with fakexa to find (by NULL
dereference) many instances of un-Prepared CPU access to the
framebuffer:

- Migration could lead to un-Prepared access to mask data in render's

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.
ZPixmap, planeMask ~= FB_ALLONES, bitsPerPixel >= 8 case. I'm pretty
convinced that this is the only case that we care about at all. Tested

pixmap, and damage is tracked so that a later exaMoveInPixmap won't
result in an upload if no upload is necessary. This will likely improve
the performance of the "Always" migration scheme significantly, and is
a step in the path to more exact damage tracking between framebuffer
and system memory.
desired location always (unless they don't fit in FB, in which case
they all get moved out for software rendering). The default remains as
before, but can be controlled by the MigrationHeuristic xorg.conf
option (which is intentionally not documented, as it may be
short-lived). This is part of the exa-damagetrack work, which appears
stable in testing with fakexa, unlike the work as a whole.

implemented reasonably, but does include some minor improvements such
as accounting for pinned pixmaps not being acceleratable, and for our

Hopefully the documentation will stay much more up-to-date this way.

dependencies. It was nearly abstract enough already to be used by
multiple DDXes. This will be useful for EXA development through
providing a fake acceleration implementation within Xephyr, so that
testing can be done on new EXA code without worrying about buggy
drivers.
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.

- Disable the shortcut for switching from 3d to 3d in radeon_exa.c. It
appears that we do need the cache flush here, thought it's not clear
why. Disable the 2d to 2d shortcut while here, since I'm unsure of what
we're doing. Exposed by the following bit:
- Bug #4485: Add a new routine, exaGlyphs, to handle font drawing. Glyphs
were being accumulated in from non-migratable scratch pixmaps, causing
the destination pixmap to move towards screen but the migration
necessary for source never to happen, leading to abysmal performance.
Instead, copy the scratch glyph data into a real pixmap first, then
composite from that into the destination, allowing for migration. time

- Create exaDrawableUse* wrapping exaPixmapUse*, but which are aware of

ensures that composited windows will be migrated as normal when we turn
off cw for EXA. (issue brought up by keithp)
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.
