Francisco Jerez 4d1959e693 intel/cfg: Represent divergent control flow paths caused by non-uniform loop execution.
This addresses a long-standing back-end compiler bug that could lead
to cross-channel data corruption in loops executed non-uniformly.  In
some cases live variables extending through a loop divergence point
(e.g. a non-uniform break) into a convergence point (e.g. the end of
the loop) wouldn't be considered live along all physical control flow
paths the SIMD thread could possibly have taken in between due to some
channels remaining in the loop for additional iterations.

This patch fixes the problem by extending the CFG with physical edges
that don't exist in the idealized non-vectorized program, but
represent valid control flow paths the SIMD EU may take due to the
divergence of logical threads.  This makes sense because the i965 IR
is explicitly SIMD, and it's not uncommon for instructions to have an
influence on neighboring channels (e.g. a force_writemask_all header
setup), so the behavior of the SIMD thread as a whole needs to be
considered.

No changes in shader-db.

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

- install python 2.7
- install scons (latest)
- install mingw, flex, and bison
- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
- install git
- download mesa from git
  see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
- run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
