Description Clemens Eisserer 2016-11-02 13:42:18 UTC
When using glamor on top of the i965 driver (haswell GPU), the x11perf -putimage10 score is extremly low, while shmput10 is quite fast:

      20000 trep @   1.2639 msec (   791.0/sec): PutImage 10x10 square
   14000000 trep @   0.0019 msec (537000.0/sec): ShmPutImage 10x10 square

a netbook based on AMD's mullins chip (low-power jaguar cores) is fast for both operations:

     800000 trep @   0.0344 msec ( 29000.0/sec): PutImage 10x10 square
     800000 trep @   0.0356 msec ( 28100.0/sec): ShmPutImage 10x10 square

This issue slows down Java's antialiased rendering a lot (it doesn't use trapezoids for AA geometry, instead it uploads 32x32 coverage masks using XPutImage and later uses this data as mask for XRenderComposite). 

As more and more distributions switch to glamor directly or indirectly (XWayland or X+modesetting) it would be great to see this fixed.

So this is not limited to haswell, on an arrandale laptop I get (90% of the cycles are spent in clflush_object):

       1200 reps @   6.1682 msec (   162.0/sec): PutImage XY 10x10 square

Hi Clemens,

I've checked x11perf -putimage10 on my Haswell on 12.0.3, 10.6.9 and 12.1.0 versions of mesa and score looks good. Here is outputs:
