From 9c3be6d21fa6a45852045d0286b80fb420f82fe3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Crocker Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 20:27:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] llvmpipe: use ppc64le/ppc64 Large code model for JIT-compiled shaders Large programs, e.g. gnome-shell and firefox, may tax the addressability of the Medium code model once a (potentially unbounded) number of dynamically generated JIT-compiled shader programs are linked in and relocated. Yet the default code model as of LLVM 8 is Medium or even Small. The cost of changing from Medium to Large is negligible: - an additional 8-byte pointer stored immediately before the shader entrypoint; - change an add-immediate (addis) instruction to a load (ld). Testing with WebGL Conformance (https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html) yields clean runs with this change (and crashes without it). Testing with glxgears shows no detectable performance difference.
