radeonsi: if there's just const buffer 0, set it in place of CONST/SSBO
pointer
SI_SGPR_CONST_AND_SHADER_BUFFERS now contains the pointer to const buff=
er 0
if there is no other buffer there.
Benefits:
- there is no constbuf descriptor upload and shader load
It's assumed that all constant addresses are within bounds. Non-constant
addresses are clamped against the last declared CONST variable.
This only works if the state tracker ensures the bound constant buffer
matches what the shader needs.
Once we get 32-bit pointers, we can only do this for user constant buff=
ers
where the driver is in charge of the upload so that it can guarantee a
32-bit
address.
The real performance benefit might not be measurable.
These apps get 100% theoretical benefit in all shaders (except where
noted):
- antichamber
- barman arkham origins
- borderlands 2
- borderlands pre-sequel
- brutal legend
- civilization BE
- CS:GO
- deadcore
- dota 2 -- most shaders
- europa universalis
- grid autosport -- most shaders
- left 4 dead 2
- legend of grimrock
- life is strange
- payday 2
- portal
- rocket league
- serious sam 3 bfe
- talos principle
- team fortress 2
- thea
- unigine heaven
- unigine valley -- also sanctuary and tropics
- wasteland 2
- xcom: enemy unknown & enemy within
- tesseract
- unity (engine)
