Summary
=======
This series of patches refactor some vkms components in order to introduce
new formats to the planes and writeback connector.
Now in the blend function, the plane's pixels are converted to ARGB16161616
and then blended together.
The CRC is calculated based on the ARGB1616161616 buffer. And if required,
this buffer is copied/converted to the writeback buffer format.
And to handle the pixel conversion, new functions were added to convert
from a specific format to ARGB16161616 (the reciprocal is also true).
Tests
=====
This patch series was tested using the following igt tests:
-t ".*kms_plane.*"
-t ".*kms_writeback.*"
-t ".*kms_cursor_crc*"
-t ".*kms_flip.*"
New tests passing
-------------------
- pipe-A-cursor-size-change
- pipe-A-cursor-alpha-transparent
Performance
-----------
Following some optimization proposed by Pekka Paalanen, now the code
runs way faster than V1 and slightly faster than the current implementation.
| Frametime |
|:---------------:|:---------:|:--------------:|:------------:|
| implmentation | Current | Per-pixel(V1) | Per-line(V2) |
| frametime range | 8~22 ms | 32~56 ms | 6~19 ms |
| Average | 10.0 ms | 35.8 ms | 8.6 ms |
Writeback test
--------------
During the development of this patch series, I discovered that the
writeback-check-output test wasn't filling the plane correctly.
So, currently, this patch series is failing in this test. But I sent a
patch to igt to fix it[1].
XRGB to ARGB behavior
=====================
During the development, I decided to always fill the alpha channel of
the output pixel whenever the conversion from a format without an alpha
channel to ARGB16161616 is necessary. Therefore, I ignore the value
received from the XRGB and overwrite the value with 0xFFFF.
