When selecting a mesa_format to use for a texture, we are constrained by
the user's requested internalFormat. If the requested internalFormat is
generic (e.g. GL_RGBA) it imposes no preferred type or layout and so we
are free to choose any compatible mesa_format. In this case, we can
inspect the incoming pixelformat and see if the hardware natively
supports it, and if so use that for the texture format as then
uploads/downloads are conversion free (implying no loss of fidelity and
should be fastest), utilizing the hardware samplers to do the conversion
and filtering as required (which again should be faster and both higher
and controllable accuracy).
A trivial demonstration using mesa-demos/teximage on the puny byt:
Before:
GetTexImage(RGB/ubyte 256 x 256): 269.2 images/sec, 50.5 MB/sec
GetTexImage(RGB/565 256 x 256): 99.5 images/sec, 12.4 MB/sec
GetTexImage(BGRA/ubyte 256 x 256): 252.0 images/sec, 63.0 MB/sec
GetTexImage(BGRA/8888r 256 x 256): 229.2 images/sec, 57.3 MB/sec
GetTexImage(RGBA/float 256 x 256): 1059.5 images/sec, 1059.5 MB/sec
After:
GetTexImage(RGB/ubyte 256 x 256): 279.6 images/sec, 52.4 MB/sec
GetTexImage(RGB/565 256 x 256): 6681.9 images/sec, 835.2 MB/sec
GetTexImage(BGRA/ubyte 256 x 256): 4262.2 images/sec, 1065.6 MB/sec
GetTexImage(BGRA/8888r 256 x 256): 4262.2 images/sec, 1065.6 MB/sec
GetTexImage(RGBA/float 256 x 256): 1061.7 images/sec, 1061.7 MB/sec
