Bug 88316

I have reported a performance bug on XWayland that was caused by Glamor. Details are available on bug #86815. perf report shows that the most time consuming routines are:

Overhead Command  Shared Object     Symbol
28.77%   Xwayland i915_dri.so       [.] fetch_vector4
19.88%   swapper  [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle
15.43%   Xwayland i915_dri.so       [.] _mesa_execute_program
12.57%   Xwayland i915_dri.so       [.] store_vector4

Other routines are below 5%

Hardware is reported as:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller

Device id is respectively 8086:a011 and 8086:a012

Someone said on the original bug report:

I only have a performance problem using XWayland. Running Xorg itself is fine (I suppose it uses the intel driver directly then)

XWayland should work right out of the box, so either this performance problem could be fixed in Glamor, and it should be done. Or glamor should detect such situation and tell XWayland, so it could disable glamor.
