New MR: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/17
This MR begins the process of being able to optimize external memory access
by first moving us over to using deref instructions for UBO/SSBO access.
Many of the patches are cleanups or fairly small refactors of NIR or
SPIR-V. More notable changes include:
Reworking some NIR variable modes to properly distinguish between UBOs
and other uniforms
Adding support to glsl_type for explicit strides/offsets on types.
Adding a new ptr-as-array deref type to NIR
Adding a new nir_opt_deref pass to optimize ptr-as-array derefs
Relaxing several NIR validation rules
Adding support for cast derefs to a couple of passes
Adding UBO/SSBO deref support to spirv_to_nir but hidden behind a flag
Enabling the new path in ANV.
All in all, I think I finally have a version of this that I'm actually
happy with. It took several iterations to figure out how I wanted to best
describe the type information coming out of SPIR-V. The glsl_type
modifications ended up being not nearly as bad as I expected so I went that
route.
Happy reviewing!
