This patch series provides preliminary support for MSAA (multisample antialiasing) in i965/gen7. It depends on my previous MSAA patch series "[PATCH v2 0/5] i965/gen6: Begin implementing MSAA."
The patches can be grouped into 3 sets: Patch 01 fixes a small bug in the Gen6 MSAA implementation: when allocating an MSAA surface, we weren't accounting for the fact that the pattern in which MSAA samples are interleaved repeats for every 2x2 block of pixels. As a result, if the surface width or height was an odd number, the data in the last row or column of pixels would be corrupted. Patches 02-15 make the necessary modifications to allow the blorp engine to work on Gen7. First (patches 02-05) we add the ability to dispatch the WM program in MSDISPMODE_PERSAMPLE mode (one dispatch per sample rather than one dispatch per pixel), which reduces the amount of coordinate swizzling the WM program needs to do. Then (patches 06-07) we make adjustments to the rendering pipeline configuration when running blorp programs on Gen7. Then (patch 08) we add support for the Gen7 texel fetch messages (which differ from those in Gen6), and finally in patch 09 we enable the blorp engine on Gen7. Patches 10-15 adapt the MSAA code to work on Gen7, which lays out MSAA color buffers differently from Gen6. First (patch 10) we add the necessary defines to allow the rendering pipeline to be configured properly. Then (patches 11-12), we modify the surface allocation and rendering pipeline setup code to account for the new layout. Then (patches 13-14) we make the necessary modifications to the blorp engine to support MSAA on Gen7. Finally (patch 15) we enable MSAA on Gen7. As with Gen6, MSAA support is still preliminary; however since the driver *claims* to support GL 3.0 (and MSAA is a required part of GL 3.0), I think it is reasonable to turn it on now and address the remaining limitations as future "bug fix" patches. The work left to do is the same as for Gen6, with one additional item: 8x MSAA is not yet implemented for Gen7 hardware.
