Subject: [PATCH] llvmpipe: use ppc64le/ppc64 Large code model for JIT-compiled
653880
 shaders
653880
653880
Large programs, e.g. gnome-shell and firefox, may tax the
653880
addressability of the Medium code model once a (potentially unbounded)
653880
number of dynamically generated JIT-compiled shader programs are
653880
linked in and relocated.  Yet the default code model as of LLVM 8 is
653880
Medium or even Small.
653880
653880
The cost of changing from Medium to Large is negligible:
653880
- an additional 8-byte pointer stored immediately before the shader entrypoint;
653880
- change an add-immediate (addis) instruction to a load (ld).
653880
653880
Testing with WebGL Conformance
653880
(https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html)
653880
yields clean runs with this change (and crashes without it).
653880
653880
Testing with glxgears shows no detectable performance difference.
