<karolherbst> but I assume it wouldn't be too hard to make gnome work without an edid? Do you know what the edid is needed for?
<karolherbst> (I suspect some info not accessible via kms(
<karolherbst> )
<airlied> gnome should work okay, virt rarely has edids
<alyssa> airlied: Oh, it works, it just says "Unknown Display" in control centre which is annoying
<karolherbst> ahh
<alyssa> (because I do have the product/vendor name. But I am.. not going to construct a fake EDID and get it wrong and break userspace worse.)
<karolherbst> alyssa: provide a fake edid without just the display name or something? :D I don't know
<alyssa> that seems like it'll break things
<karolherbst> I am sure it will
<alyssa> and I'd rather get Night Light working 😋
nchery has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<vsyrjala> i would say the edid name is often fairy useless. especially if you have multiple similar displays
<alyssa> fair enough
<alyssa> I think macOS's equivalent of Night Light is done by a matrix multiply
<alyssa> (where the matrix is specified in a particular DCP set_matrix method)
<alyssa> I guess GNOME does it with gamma curves
<alyssa> KMS has all of degamma, CTM, and gamma ... right...
<alyssa> (where the easy thing on DCP is CTM)
<alyssa> there is a set_gamma_table called but I've never seen macOS use it

<kusma> What llvmpipe is doing here is really far outside of what GL allows for, even if D3D allows it.
<kusma> The best solution would probably be to do 16 bit filtering instead of 8 bit. That's much closer to what GL specifies (and probably within spec, given the vague wording)
<kusma> I gave it a honest attempt, but couldn't get it working. It's hairy code to touch.
<airlied> I think recent GL CTS changes mean we'd have to fix it for GL4.6

<cwabbott> mareko: intel doesn't really do dynamic register sharing, but they can switch between wave sizes, and since SIMD16 uses the same physical register file for twice as many threads at once as SIMD8 it's kinda similar, and there is support for spawning programs with a different wave size
<mareko> is SIMD8 twice as fast as SIMD16 similar to how Wave32 and Wave64 work?
Ahuj has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
Ahuj has joined #dri-devel
<cwabbott> yes, SIMD16 just repeats each instruction twice
<cwabbott> but SIMD8 programs have access to twice the registers, because values take up two registers in SIMD16
<alyssa> jadahl: I was assuming it would use the connector name or some KMS property
<alyssa> (I do have the name from the firmware's lossy parsed version of the EDID)
<alyssa> pq: delightful.
<pq> alyssa, both connector names and monitor names can be meaningful. One tracks the connector, the other tracks (poorly, the serial number is better if it exists) the monitor, obviously.
<pq> if a DE wants to implement heuristics to aid the end user, the end user decides which one is key on re-cabling things.
<alyssa> Hum, alright
<pq> alyssa, the fun part is that KMS never had API to expose monitor make/model/serial, it has always been "parse the EDID"
<alyssa> without EDID, gnome just says "Unknown" regardless of anything else but i digress
<pq> probably because EDID parsing existed before KMS
<pq> and the kernel does nothing with those names
<jadahl> alyssa: maybe the fallback can be changed to "Unknown (DP-42)"

<alyssa> the vendor/product/serial are all interesting properties that I do have. but there's no KMS for that, see pq
<alyssa> synthesizing a fake EDID is a recipe for breakage
<jadahl> right, only the fancy edid blob
<alyssa> there /might/ be a way to get at the raw EDID through a side channel. this remains to be seen

<dschuermann> a full liveness analysis just to remove some components :|
<alyssa> oh, right
<alyssa> dschuermann: I mean 100% agreed on not extending the core NIR liveness analysis code, that's just asking for trouble
<alyssa> It's just..
<alyssa> I want to see this MR land, I really do, I am just /extremely/ uncomfortable giving it an R-b because I don't see how this doesn't result in subtle breakage down the line
<dschuermann> subtle like "oh this shader is 90% smaller - neat improvement or just broken"?
<alyssa> subtle like "we improved nir_validate to catch more bugs and now CI is failing on ACO+Panfrost"
<alyssa> the MR does a lot of tricky manipulations, some of which (write mask) violate NIR invariants, and it is very hard as a reviewer to reason about that.
<alyssa> obviously "it passes CI for ACO" is Good but not really enough for something this delicate
<alyssa> + if (!((mask >> i) & 0x1))
<alyssa> ...wait, this is just supposed to be `!(mask & BITFIELD_BIT(i))` right?
<alyssa> er, guess that idiom is already used in this pass
<alyssa> still super opaque
<alyssa> (also petition to rename BITFIELD_BIT to BIT like the kernel intensifiess)
<dschuermann> o_O I never saw this macro before
<dschuermann> ACO doesn't really hit any of the code. only when I don't lower vec2fp16, and then we only have a couple of shaders
<dschuermann> but I had some regressions with this approach without the per-component DCE
<alyssa> few shaders hitting it gives me even less confidence..

<alyssa> writemasks are not a toy
<dschuermann> I *think* that invariant is broken in more places

<cwabbott> it does say "Ignored if dest.is_ssa is true" though
<cwabbott> what's clear is that it's useless except for registers... so backends must ignore it or nir_validate should check it equals the only sensible thing
<cwabbott> apparently I assumed the first thing way back when, but then we do initialize it
<alyssa> nir_validate checking it's 0 would also be sensible, but probably would break some (already broken) backends.
<alyssa> I think I got this right in my backends but 🤷
<dschuermann> well, whatever solution. I can make the pass repair the writemask afterwards

<alyssa> danvet: airlied: Re cursor cropping mess, are The DRM Maintainers™ inherently opposed to the apple KMS driver allocating a shadow framebuffer for cursors and doing a software blit in kernel space to crop planes smaller than 32x32?
<danvet> alyssa, why not reject cursors smaller than 32x32?
<alyssa> The benefit of this is that cursor planes will Just Work and I don't need to go fix 5 different compositors and possibly extend the UABI to do the crop in userspace
<alyssa> The drawback is that, this is ugly as hell.
<danvet> also cursor faking is pretty standard, but maybe not for real hw :-)
<sven> sounds par for the course when dealing with M1 drivers :(
<alyssa> danvet: Right, I already reject cursors smaller than 32x32 but the actual requirement is more sinister: the cropped size has to be min 32x32
<emersion> compositors in general just allocate with the size you give in the caps
<alyssa> emersion: ^
<danvet> alyssa, aw
<danvet> so at the edges it'll fail?
<alyssa> right
<alyssa> If you have a 64x64 cursor, but then have it 3/4 off-screen, to the DCP that's a 16x64 cursor
<alyssa> and then that'll get clamped up to 32x64 and the cursor will be squashed 2x and not cropped.
<emersion> you can't do offset/stride magic?
<emersion> keep stride, add offset, change width/height
<alyssa> emersion: Same side of the same coin -- width/height for the plane are min 32x32
<emersion> ah, hm
<alyssa> AFAIU macOS creates "cursor partially offscreen" framebuffers to make it fit properly.
<alyssa> I do not know if it does so in user or kernel code.
<jekstrand> jenatali: Can we assume c11 on Windows?
<jenatali> jekstrand: I think so
<jekstrand> jenatali: Trying to decide if I have _Generic()
<alyssa> Anyway, it's reasonable to enforce LINEAR cursors, and doing the fixup for LINEAR surfaces should be trivial enough. And fast enough since it only happens in edge cases (literally) and only for smallish regions-of-interest.
<alyssa> But it's still ugly as hell and I don't want to write the code if it's going to be NAK'd on sight.
<jenatali> I think we need to update the docs for min-spec compilers, but the default in meson.build is already C11
<danvet> alyssa, so we already have various drivers where cursor just randomly fails
<danvet> edge is kinda popular
<alyssa> delightful.
<alyssa> when I tried rejecting partial-offscreen cursors in atomic_check, Weston hung (IIRC) which seemed like a big "do not do this"
<danvet> so "fixing compositors to fall back to sw and then retry on next cursor pos" doesn't sound like the dumbest
<emersion> compositors aren't really prepared for this sadly
<alyssa> nod. but teaching weston/wlroots/kwin/mutter/Xorg about a strictly inferior solution .... doesn't seem appealing when I can bandaid over in kernel space and get hw accel

slattann has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<emersion> btw, are there any overlay planes on M1?
<alyssa> emersion: yes, one. but it competes with the cursor plane
<emersion> competes?
<alyssa> in effect, there are 2 overlay planes and 0 primary/cursor
<emersion> ah
<alyssa> probably will expose as 1 primary/cursor/overlay and reject having more than 2 active at once
<alyssa> (actually, the DCP advertises 3 or 4 planes but rejects have more than 2 active. It's real fun.)
<alyssa> (It's an open question whether the cropping issues also apply to overlays. They do with the hw of course, but probably compositors are more prepared for overlays to be randomly rejected.)
<emersion> yeah you should be able to do pretty much any rstriction with overlays
<alyssa> (But this hack wouldn't translate so well, because enforcing LINEAR overlay planes would suck!)

hansg has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<pq> alyssa, if you do the rejecting in the right place, I think weston should fall back to sw cursor with not even a hickup, IIRC.
<MrCooper> FWIW, rejecting an attempt to move the cursor partially offscreen probably won't work out well for the legacy cursor ioctls; e.g. older versions of mutter completely stopped using the HW cursor if the legacy ioctl ever returns EINVAL
<pq> of course, that may not be any consolation with legacy cursor UAPI.
<alyssa> pq: I think atomic test-only path, but it was a few weeks ago

<cwabbott> hopefully you'll be able to use my thing

<alyssa> it's not a problem, it's just annoying
<alyssa> (C.f. AGX where there's a dedicated slot in the shader record for a pilot shader address, so the cmdstream is ~identical)
<alyssa> (Consequently, Apple is much more aggressive than Arm about using pilot shaders. As in, Apple will do a pilot shader to save a single ALU instruction iirc.)
<cwabbott> yeah, on qcom it's just a few magic instructions
<cwabbott> just emit the sequence, inline the call to the preamble function and you're off to the races
<alyssa> yeah
<alyssa> then again if Mali can't bother with indirect draws, why should this be different 🙄

<alyssa> fixed-rate compression, with fixed rate less than 1
<alyssa> but it's still lossless because you can't tell the difference right?
<HdkR> Oh, afbc is lossless, I misremembered
<bnieuwenhuizen> sounds like fun to get passing with CTS
<HdkR> alyssa: Is their marketing material still jpeg files so you can't see the difference through the jpeg artifacts?
<alyssa> bnieuwenhuizen: it's for winsys I guess

<daniels> danvet: omg
<daniels> that is actually really good
<daniels> jekstrand: and you too
<daniels> why did we not do this months ago ...
<daniels> it's all so simple!
<daniels> it's a suggestion so good it literally broke my watch as well - right as you were saying it, part of it went flying off somehow

<danvet> daniels, I definitely need to convert this into a good meme
<daniels> for those not at XDC, jekstrand suggested solving GPUs needing userspace synchronisation by using xshmfence (!) to make it work for X11, and danvet suggested solving Vulkan stacks running on dma-fence winsys (which it can't know until well after device initialisation) by sending device_lost, shooting the context, and stashing somewhere persistent that the next context should come up in dma-fence mode ...
<danvet> well for that binary probably
<danvet> maybe binary+ mesa version, so they get a chance
<jekstrand> These are all terrible ideas
<danvet> perhaps combined with some vk_MESA extension so apps can tell right away what they want at startup
* lynxeye still not convinced
<jekstrand> I started my presentation with blame. I probably should have ended with an apology.
<lynxeye> but maybe drinking helps to make it sound like a good idea
<danvet> jekstrand, tbh I don't aim for pretty or nice here
<danvet> as long as it at least works and doesn't break any of the tons of use-cases
<danvet> which very much includes "people use cl and vk for very long running compute workloads"
<danvet> daniels, perfect
<daniels> jekstrand: terrible problems demand terrible solutions ...
<danvet> daniels, probably a galaxy brain meme in there too
<daniels> danvet: shitposting -> quick 'works for me' hacks -> hardcore detailed design -> shitposting
<ajax> trying to decide where exactly "what if x11 but autotools" lies on that loop
<daniels> ajax: what does that actually ... mean?
<ajax> i feel like replacing imake with autotools sounds like a shitposty idea at first and then you follow through with it and then decide what if this sucks and we should do something entirely other both for build and for thing-being-built
<ajax> which is back around to the shitpost you started with
RauLi has joined #dri-devel
<ajax> this joke sucks, i think
<ajax> i take it back
<danvet> there's another one here with the git migration, except we also adopted patches on mailing lists together with git
<daniels> haha
<daniels> one massive repo -> 237 individual repos -> one massive repo
<daniels> je regrette
<danvet> but yeah the autotools one was also a bit "this great new hell looks lovely"
<danvet> daniels, almost as good as the js world
<danvet> except they insist it's better
<daniels> eh, I still stand behind autotools
<daniels> nothing's more Here's One Weird Trick Which All Users Absolutely Hate than writing your own build system
<daniels> the number of times I've nearly smashed my laptop to bits after discovering that a project uses something which sort of looks like ./configure, but does not in fact work like ./configure ...
<danvet> yeah I guess autotools only looks bad looking at it through meson
<daniels> time to close my laptop and walk away before I start getting all anti-nostalgic for SSHing into fd.o (the one fd.o machine) to do yet more hand-hacking on RCS files to fix the CVS megarepo
<daniels> (strange that all the CVS->anything-else conversion tools out there completely choked when trying to import whatever the hell it was we'd ended up with ...)

<bnieuwenhuizen> daniels: what is the problem we're solving with xshmemfence?
<bnieuwenhuizen> or danvet ^
* bnieuwenhuizen is very confused
<danvet> bnieuwenhuizen, oh dear
<daniels> bnieuwenhuizen: userspace memory fences ...
<daniels> s/ memory//
<alyssa> daniels: do you include waf on your One Weird Trick list?
<danvet> waf?
<daniels> danvet: 'what if a build system, but not actually a build system'
<alyssa> daniels: the 'build system' that is copied, not linked/packagaed/invoked/etc, into every user project
<alyssa> er danvet
<daniels> alyssa: I do not, but I do include it in my 'it's 7:34pm and I am absolutely taking the hint and going home' list
<bnieuwenhuizen> that doesn't sound entirely unlike autotools
<alyssa> daniels: Fair.
<daniels> bnieuwenhuizen: it's worse in all axes other than being Python rather than a mashup of shell/m4/Make
<bnieuwenhuizen> daniels: hey I assigned no value judgment, just put out there the fact that most of my configure scripts come with the source

<ajax> anyone mind if i fix the namespacing hell around the word "dri2"?
<ajax> and "dri" generally?
<ajax> the entire egl swrast path has the word "dri2" all over it and never touches the DRI2 X extension
<zmike> 👍
<anholt_> making any sense of egl and loader baklava would be welcome.

<jenatali> ajax: If/once classic is gone, does that also mean removing arbitrary indirections from frontends to Gallium through DRI methods?
<ajax> jenatali: i do want to fold a lot of that away, but the blocker is more xserver than classic
<jenatali> Ah fair
<ajax> there's code in Xwayland to do almost the right thing there instead, i just need to finish a) making it actually right b) generalizing it to xfree86 so mesa can legitimately say move on
<jenatali> For my new EGL backend, a bunch of it could be common with DRI if it wasn't for that indirection - probably also plenty of opportunity for re-use with the frontends/wgl code too
<ajax> i say "i" but if someone wanted to fix that for me i'd not complain

<jekstrand> Woo! More common Vulkan infra
<jekstrand> Next task: vk_device_report_lost()
<airlied> time for that list of apps that handle device lost :P
<jekstrand> Does "#define ASSERT_ALIVE(thing) if ((thing) == VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST) abort()" count as handling it?
<jekstrand> airlied: At least, with ANV's tracking, you can figure out which queue died in your debug_report logs. That's something, I guess.
<airlied> maybe we should just queue a device lost first up always :-P

<airlied> if anyone starts a new spec, the first thing is that on the first draw after open will trigger the equiv of a full reset :-P
<danvet> seanpaul, for @chromium patches, I'm assuming you'll take care until they got commit rights?
<jekstrand> airlied: We talked about doing just that during the LPC fence talk today. :)
<danvet> or anholt_ depending which group it's from I guess
<anholt_> huh?

<dianders> I can help with some stuff if I was CCed on it. ;-) I've been trying to make sure that I'm giving stuff enough time on the lists before landing it though, unless someone else has also reviewed it or it's urgent.
<alyssa> dianders: are there rules written down for that stuff?
<danvet> dianders, it's more stuff that's all reviewed and submitted by @chromium, but submitter doesn't have commit rights
<alyssa> kernel commit rights sound like a liability >_<
<danvet> alyssa, well I started this all to get out of it

<danvet> git apply-mbox gets really boring after the first 10k merged patches
<danvet> I should get a prize for stupid for doing it that long
<alyssa> I guess if DCP driver gets merged I'm liable to get drm-misc commit rights.
<alyssa> Maybe I shouldn't upstream this thing after all....
<dianders> danvet: sure, makes sense. ...ones that are all "within chromium" are ones that definitely need sufficient time on the list though. :-) In general I've been trying to telegraph my plans as much as possible by saying that I will plan to commit things after X number of days. ;-)

<danvet> alyssa, you don't have them yet with panfrost?
<danvet> whomisc says no
<danvet> daniels, ^^ fix this?
<danvet> dianders, it's a bit up to judgement, anything between a day or weeks might be right :-)
<danvet> if you push and there's agony on irc it was too quick
<danvet> but also if you don't push and peopel are frustrated about how it all drags, it was too slow
<dianders> danvet: OK, fair enough. If you seem me making the right judgement calls please let me know.
<dianders> ...err, the "wrong" ones. I guess silence = right. :-)
<danvet> yeah

<alyssa> danvet: I maintain the whole panfrost userspace, but not kernel space
<alyssa> (kernel, I'm a designated reviewer but historically that's more wearing the hat of "make sure kernel doesn't screw up my userspace" and not because I am inherently concerned about the kernel code)
<alyssa> that admittedly is changing now that I'm doing more kernel stuff with M1 and getting a lot less scared of Mali kernel as a result
