intel/compiler,anv: put some vertex and primitive data in headers
Both per-primitive and per-vertex space is allocated in MUE in 8 dword
chunks and those 8-dword chunks (granularity of
3DSTATE_SBE_MESH.Per[Primitive|Vertex]URBEntryOutputReadLength)
are passed to fragment shaders as inputs (either non-interpolated
for per-primitive and flat vertex attributes or interpolated
for non-flat vertex attributes).
Some attributes have a special meaning and must be placed in separate
8/16-dword slot called Primitive Header or Vertex Header.
Primitive Header contains 4 such attributes (Cull Primitive,
ViewportIndex, RTAIndex, CPS), leaving 4 dwords (the rest of 8-dword
slot) potentially unused.
Vertex Header is similar - it starts with 3 unused dwords, 1 dword for
Point Size (but if we declare that shader doesn't produce Point Size
then we can reuse it), followed by 4 dwords for Position and optionally
8 dwords for clip distances.
This means we have an interesting optimization problem - we can put
some user attributes into holes in Primitive and Vertex Headers, which
may lead to smaller MUE size and potentially more mesh threads running
in parallel, but we have to be careful to use those holes only when
we need it, otherwise we could force HW to pass too much data to
fragment shader.
Example 1:
Let's assume that Primitive Header is enabled and user defined
12 dwords of per-primitive attributes.
Without packing we would consume 8 + ALIGN(12, 8) = 24 dwords of
MUE space and pass ALIGN(12, 8) = 16 dwords to fragment shader.
With packing, we'll consume 4 + 4 + ALIGN(12 - 4, 8) = 16 dwords of
MUE space and pass ALIGN(4, 8) + ALIGN(12 - 4, 8) = 16 dwords to
fragment shader.
16/16 is better than 24/16, so packing makes sense.
Example 2:
Now let's assume that Primitive Header is enabled and user defined
16 dwords of per-primitive attributes.
Without packing we would consume 8 + ALIGN(16, 8) = 24 dwords of
MUE space and pass ALIGN(16, 16) = 16 dwords to fragment shader.
With packing, we'll consume 4 + 4 + ALIGN(16 - 4, 8) = 24 dwords of
MUE space and pass ALIGN(4, 8) + ALIGN(16 - 4, 8) = 24 dwords to
fragment shader.
24/24 is worse than 24/16, so packing doesn't make sense.
This change doesn't affect vk_meshlet_cadscene in default configuration,
but it speeds it up by up to 25% with "-extraattributes N", where
N is some small value divisible by 2 (by default N == 1) and we
are bound by URB size.
