With the advent of software scoreboarding, we emit sync instructions in various places to synchronize the execution pipelines. This results in assembly being littered with a bunch of sync.nop instructions. That means that when you reorder anything in the program, the scoreboarding changes, and the number of sync.nops can vary wildly - even if the code isn't really materially better or worse. This makes it hard to use tools like shader-db or fossil-db on post-Icelake platforms. For now, exclude sync.nops from the instruction count statistic. One day we may want to consider improving the software scoreboarding pass to emit fewer redundant sync.nop instructions, at which point tracking this as a separate stat might be useful. For now though, it's simply cluttering and confusing our results. Reviewed-by: Ian Romanick <ian.d.romanick@intel.com> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/27701>
`Mesa <https://mesa3d.org>`_ - The 3D Graphics Library ====================================================== Source ------ This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa. Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported. Build & install --------------- You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst <https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_): .. code-block:: sh $ mkdir build $ cd build $ meson .. $ sudo ninja install Support ------- Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel <irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if necessary. Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might take a while before someone qualified sees your question. To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your question, check out `Who's Who on IRC <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_. The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_ Bug reports ----------- If you think something isn't working properly, please file a bug report (`docs/bugs.rst <https://mesa3d.org/bugs.html>`_). Contributing ------------ Contributions are welcome, and step-by-step instructions can be found in our documentation (`docs/submittingpatches.rst <https://mesa3d.org/submittingpatches.html>`_).
