Jamie Nicol bdf491aa7e Bug 1565827 - Ensure glReadPixels for profiler screenshots happens asynchronously. r=kvark
The glReadPixels call for capturing profiler screenshots is very slow
on Adreno devices. Similarly to bug 1498732, this is because the
stride of the data being transferred is not a multiple of 256, so the
driver is taking the synchronous path instead of reading in to a PBO
asynchronously.

This solves this problem by increasing the width of the area we read
so that we hit the fast path. To do this we must ensure that the PBO
and the final scale-down texture are large enough to include the extra
pixels in each row. As the required size of the PBO or texture may now
change, for example after a screen rotation, we now handle deleting
and recreating them when necessary.

WebRender

Version

GPU renderer for the Web content, used by Servo.

Note that the canonical home for this code is in gfx/wr folder of the mozilla-central repository at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central. The Github repository at https://github.com/servo/webrender should be considered a downstream mirror, although it contains additional metadata (such as Github wiki pages) that do not exist in mozilla-central. Pull requests against the Github repository are still being accepted, although once reviewed, they will be landed on mozilla-central first and then mirrored back. If you are familiar with the mozilla-central contribution workflow, filing bugs in Bugzilla and submitting patches there would be preferred.

Update as a Dependency

After updating shaders in WebRender, go to servo and:

  • Go to the servo directory and do ./mach update-cargo -p webrender
  • Create a pull request to servo

Use WebRender with Servo

To use a local copy of WebRender with servo, go to your servo build directory and:

  • Edit Cargo.toml
  • Add at the end of the file:
[patch."https://github.com/servo/webrender"]
"webrender" = { path = "<path>/webrender" }
"webrender_api" = { path = "<path>/webrender_api" }

where <path> is the path to your local copy of WebRender.

  • Build as normal

Documentation

The Wiki has a few pages describing the internals and conventions of WebRender.

Testing

Tests run using OSMesa to get consistent rendering across platforms.

Still there may be differences depending on font libraries on your system, for example.

See this gist for how to make the text tests useful in Fedora, for example.
