A large part of the function preamble overhead is the multi-indirection
lookup for retrieving the sna pointer. We can eliminate most of these by
storing a pointer on the Pixmap as well, which we often need to lookup
anyway.

Rather than a blank 25Hz, use twice the vblank interval to hopefully

This is set in configure and redefining it later inside the C files just
leads to trouble and broken compilation.

Julien Cristau disliked my broadcasting of the git tree used to build
his distribution package as it bore little relevance to his users. As it
is only useful for people installing their own drivers (as a means of
sanity checking that they are running the right driver), we introduce
the --with-builderstring idiom borrowed from the xserver. This allows
the builder to override the use of `git describe` and either leave it
blank or to fill it with something useful for their own purposes.

Hopefully, I have all the dependencies correct for auto-updating and
should continue to work with tarballs...
The next step is to perhaps include it in the usual version number,
perhaps as patch level?

As we use GTT mappings if writing directly into the tiled buffer and the
available aperture is reported by the kernel as the total GTT and not
limited to the fenceable/mappable region, we need to manually probe this
value and ensure that our creation and fenced routines observe this
distinct limit.

Zaphod support is a rudimentary method for creating an Xserver with
multiple screens from a single device. The Device is instantiated, with
a duplication of its resources, as many as required up to a maximum of
the number of its outputs, and each instance is attached to a Screen
and added to the ServerLayout. A Device can be bound to a selection of
outputs using a comma separated list of RandR names.
Note: in general, this is not the preferred solution! And will be
superseded by per-crtc-pixmaps in RandR-1.4.
For example, the following xorg.conf fragment creates an XServer with
two screens, one attached to the LVDS panel on the laptop, and the other
to any external output:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "ZaphodHeads" "LVDS1"
Screen 0
EndSection

The premise is that switching between rings (i.e. the BLT and
RENDER rings) on SandyBridge imposes a large latency overhead whilst
rendering. The cause is that in order to switch rings, we need to split
the batch earlier than is desired and to add serialisation between the
rings. Both of which incur large overhead.
By switching to using a pure 3D blit engine (ok, not so pure as the BLT
engine still has uses for the core drawing model which can not be easily
represented without a combinatorial explosion of shaders) we can take
advantage of additional efficiencies, such as relative relocations, that
have been incorporated into recent hardware advances. However, even
older hardware performs better from avoiding the implicit context
switches and from the batching efficiency of the 3D pipeline...
But this is X, and PolyGlyphBlt still exists and remains in use. So for
the operations that are not worth accelerating in hardware, we introduce a
shadow buffer mechanism through out and reintroduce pixmap migration.
Doing this efficiently is the cornerstone of ensuring that we do exploit
the increased potential of recent hardware for running old applications and
environments (i.e. so that the latest and greatest chip is actually faster
than gen2!)
For the curious, sna is SandyBridge's New Acceleration. If you are
running older chipsets and welcome the performance increase offered by
this patch, then you may choose to call it Snazzy instead.

gen6 ocitysmap 1401.61 (1402.24 0.40%) -> 2365.74 (2379.14 4.12%): 1.69x slowdown
[Note the performance regression for ocitysmap comes from that we now
attempt to support rendering to and (more importantly) from large
surfaces. By enabling such operations is the only way to one day be
faster than purely using the CPU, in the meantime we suffer regression
due to the increased migration and aperture thrashing. The other couple
of regressions will be eliminated with improved span and shader support,
now that the framework for such is in place.]
The performance increase for Cairo completely overlooks the other
critical aspects of the architecture:
World of Padman:
gen3 (800x600): 57.5 -> 96.2
gen4 (800x600): 47.8 -> 74.6
gen6 (1366x768): 100.4 -> 140.3 [F15]
144.3 -> 146.4 [drm-intel-next]
x11perf (gen6);
aa10text: 3.47 -> 14.3 Mglyphs/s [unthrottled!]
copywinwin10: 1.66 -> 1.99 Mops/s
copywinpix10: 2.28 -> 2.98 Mops/s
And we do not have a good measure for how much improvement the reworking
of the fallback paths give, except that xterm is now over 4x faster...
PS: This depends upon the Xorg patchset "Remove the cacheing of the last
scratch PixmapRec" for correct invalidations of scratch Pixmaps (used by
the dix to implement SHM operations, used by chromium and gtk+ pixbufs.
