Hello Marek,

FWIW: Tested-by: Dieter... ;-)

I saw, you've committed it all the way.

But some numbers for RX580 for you.
Not only 'very small' amount, here.

Xeon X3470, ~3 GHz, 4/8 Cores, 24 GB
with R600_DEBUG=ce

glmark2
(final result) goes _down_ by ~5,6%
single tests in the range of 2 - 8%
(worse is [texture] texture-filter=nearest) - or _better_ ;-)

Best results _ever_.

Kernel
self compiled
4.13.0-rc2-1.g7262353-default+ (amd-staging-drm-next)
and
openSUSE Kernel:stable
4.12.7-1.g7dae241-default (which show the GREATEST numbers)

So I have to figure out which optimizations the openSUSE kernel team use... --- Hello Jiri, Stefan?!

Congrats to the whole 'AMD (Linux) Vega Team',
very impressive numbers on day-0.
I'll hope RX5xx see some further improvements, too.

Cheers,
Dieter

It makes performance worse by a very small (hard to measure) amount.
We've done extensive profiling of this feature internally.
