modified the test plan a bit, but since this is limited to radeon & llvmpipe it is different compared to HWE backports.
** Description changed: [Impact] This is needed for some new AMD RDNA4 platforms that require the newer llvm for runtime shader compilation. Skipping oracular, as it is going to be EOL soon. Note that llvm-toolchain-20 needs to be built twice on noble, first without llvm-spirv-20 which doesn't exist yet, and then after spirv- llvm-translator-20 has built, it's built a second time *with* llvm- spirv-20 which is needed to build libclc-20 which Mesa needs. [Test case] Install updates, check that drivers that require llvm still work, - including swrast (llvmpipe), radeonsi. + including swrast (llvmpipe), radeonsi: - Test with normal desktop usage, glxgears, glmark2, Unigine demos. That - should give enough confidence that things still work. + - check that the desktop is still using hw acceleration and hasn't fallen back to swrast/llvmpipe + - run freely available benchmarks that torture the GPU (Unigine Heaven/Valley/Superposition) + - run some games from Steam if possible + [Where things could go wrong] The new llvm version might result in buggy behaviour with the swrast/radeonsi drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2111265 Title: migrate mesa to llvm 20.1.2 or newer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-20/+bug/2111265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
