Anyway a much bigger > project than what I have time for at the moment. Maybe it isn't needed for every commit. Depending on the architecture you are testing you would focus on some commits. For example, I have a radeon with the r600 driver, so I don't need to check all the intel and nvidia related commits. Even if it's not feasible for every commit, we may try to do it for individual series. Or even, we may send some commits with some kind of 'request for test for performance'. But we would need to have some kind of standarized benchmark/tests for this, à la piglit.

Which brings the question why didn't you post to that thread/topic in
first place instead :P
Ideally mesa should have an infrastructure/farm that handles regressions
- be that performance or otherwise. Pretty sure some companies have such
features but those seem to be hidden behind locked doors :'(
Yes, that's unfortunate. But atleast we have Phoronix :)
Can you confirm that it does not cause issues with "interesting" setups
such as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71547
Challenge accepted! What my patch is doing is to check for provided
compile flags (-msse, ...) on compile time (__SSE__, ...) and set
"cpu_has_sse" macro to "1" which allows any sane compiler to turn this
pieces of code:
#ifdef USE_SSE
if (cpu_has_sse)
{
/* SSE code path */
}
else
#endif
{
/* C fallback */
}
into this:
/* SSE code path */
by using compile time information by target CPU.

Siavash Eliasi.
