ARB_copy_image Support Lands For AMD RadeonSI

[dungeon]

Is there a reason why amdgpu doesn't appear in GL3.txt? I thought it would appear when it arrived in the Linux kernel, but apparently not. Or maybe it's because it's not activated yet?

You are probably the reason i discussed with Bridgman name changing in mesa ... Because from amdgpu driver user POV, only mesa part has different name... everything else (kernel driver, drm, ddx, llvm) is called amdgpu.

Reason? Maybe userspace blob UMD will be amdgpu something, but dunno

And also nice job Marek and Brian (for the review)! You can be sure that my next card going to be an AMD (as for my current one actually).

Yeah, thanks Marek and Brian fpr that "craziness" :-)

amdgpu only exists on the kernel side, for mesa there is no such thing. Mesa's radeonsi driver will use either the old radeon kernel backend (for cards up to Hawaii / R9 290) or the new amdgpu one (for 3xx cards, at least if they're really new ones and not just renamed). That's why it doesn't make sense to have amdgpu in GL3.txt :-)

amdgpu is a kernel driver not a mesa driver. It provides hardware support not GL support. radeonsi will be used for both kernel drivers to provide OpenGL.

Hurray! Finally RadeonSI is in the lead over Nvidia

Nice catch!

"I wonder if the craziness was worth it."
