Description Darius Spitznagel 2017-11-01 18:59:44 UTC 
Hello Mesa team,

today I wanted to try out the Intel disk shader cache which landed some hours ago in mesa master with Shadow of Mordor.
I started the game after some months not playing it and was surprised by a broken start menu (Talion was also not visible). The menu was not responding and I hit ALT+F4 several times.
Some seconds later SoM exited.
dmesg showed...

    i965: make use of nir linking
    
    For now linking is just removing unused varyings between stages.

Could someone please look into this?

Strange master is working fine on my BDW.

Could it be something about HSW using vec4/vs and BDW using scalar/vs?
Comment 3 Darius Spitznagel 2017-11-03 10:22:19 UTC 
In the meantime I've tested more games...

HITMAN Free Trial > SIGSEV 11 > GPU Hang in dmesg
ASTROKILL (UE4 Engine) > Huge regression > unplayable
EVERSPACE (UE4 Engine) > Huge regression > unplayable
Tomb Raider > OK
Mad Max (OpenGL) > OK

When I start SoM with MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=-GL_ARB_compute_shader start menu works again, but Talion is misrendered.
Seems like 17.4.0-devel has problems with some compute shaders on Haswell.

More Specs:
OS: Debian 9.2
Kernel: 4.9.59
Libdrm: 2.4.84
Xorg: 1.19.5
Comment 4 Timothy Arceri 2017-11-03 11:07:24 UTC 
I'm still waiting for SoM to install on my HSW but I suspect patches 17-19 from this series [1] will fix the bug.

I've applied the patches to todays mesa master (git-608af05ffb) and they fix the broken menu (Talion is visible again too) but not completely.
Little rendering problems still remain.

I took one screenshot from the menu and one from the buildin benchmark.

In the first one you can see rendering artifacts in the face of Talion.
In the second one you can see rendering artifacts on the cloak of Talion.

Sometimes there are more rendering artifacts sometimes less.

I've disabled nir linking on HSW and below until someone has time to look into why this regression is happening.
