Info about polygon offset calculation which i've found:

About integer part of offset:

• min value is -32 and max is 31
• it's calculated in following way:
  (value << 18) & ~0xff000000;

About decimal part of offset:

• precision to 1 decimal place (1,1 value is equal to 1,15)

Fractal value of polygon offset -> target value in hex
0 - 2 -> 0x00000000
3 - 4 -> 0x00010000
5 - 7 -> 0x00020000
8 - 9 -> 0x00030000

If offset < 0 then result = integer part - fractal part
else result = integer part + fractal part

Test data:

TODO find out what is the place where polygon offset unit is stored.

[anarsoul]

@PabloPL are you still working on it?

[PabloPL]

@anarsoul
At this moment i don't have time to work more on this. At first post i've tried to describe what i've found when comparing mali binary dumps. I've also added some test data (which i gathered and was using to verify my calculation).
There is only one thing missing - polygon offset unit is stored in some different place in memory (not in depth_test).

If You want, be free to continue this.

[PabloPL]

Also i had to add https://github.com/PabloPL/mesa-lima/commit/20ac8f025525bc3bc4b46cb68dcb0da5a9621d22 (so we can have format which supports depth).

[anarsoul]

So looks like offset_scale is calculated like this:

   int offset_scale;
   
   if (rst->offset_scale < -32)
      offset_scale = -32;
   else if (rst->offset_scale > 31)
      offset_scale = 31;
   else
      offset_scale = rst->offset_scale * 4;

   if (offset_scale < 0)
      offset_scale = 0x100 + offset_scale;

According to limare, polygon_offset_units is used to adjust viewport->translate[2], but it does some weird cast from float to int and then just substracts polygon_offset_units from viewport->translate[2]. Unfortunately I don't understand how that's supposed to work.

[yuq]

viewport transform will be applied to each vertex at the end of GP shader:
V * viewport_scalar + viewport_translate
viewport->translate[2] is the Z value.

[anarsoul]

@yuq you misunderstood me, I don't understand how this's supposed to work:

https://github.com/limadriver-ng/lima/blob/master/limare/lib/limare.c#L848

Note that state->viewport_transform[6] is float. So basically the code casts float pointer to int pointer and then does some math on int.

Least significant bits (22 to 0) of float contain fraction part, but the code doesn't check exponent value:

Does anyone know why eglinfo shows now depth/stencil visuals?

[yuq]

You mean "no" or "now"?

[anarsoul]

I meant 'no', but I figured that out - I added formats to lima_screen.c, but used stale libraries, so eglinfo showed no depth/stencil visuals.

[anarsoul]

@yuq do you know how to attach depth/stencil buffer? Basically if I just enable depth test it works somehow, but I'm not sure where it stores Z values, because ctx->framebuffer.zsbuf isn't used anywhere

[yuq]

One way I can think of is creating a gbm_bo and attach it to FBO's GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT.

[anarsoul]

@yuq I'm talking about lima. See lima_set_framebuffer_state() in lima_state.c, framebuffer->zsbuf is only used in this function and not anywhere else.

[yuq]

Sorry, I don't know either. The zsbuf I just write it there for reminder, haven't actually use it. But from the lima-ng, I also can't find a dedicated depth buffer attached for each draw. Maybe a reverse engineer dump is needed for this case.

[anarsoul]

I checked the dump and I don't understand where it stores depth values.

[yuq]

Could this possible:

1. for app not use the depth buffer explicitly (attached to FBO's depth slot), mali don't need a depth buffer at all
2. for explicit usage, one drm_lima_pp_wb_reg is used for it, as the type field comment 1 is for depth

So maybe you can try to dump a app using FBO GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT.

[anarsoul]

@yuq you're right - mali400 doesn't require in-memory depth buffer, see http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/previous/www_2010/media/Hot3D/HPG2010_Hot3D_ARM.pdf page 9:

Z, stencil, MSAA samples never go off-chip

So it uses on-chip 16x16 tile buffer for Z and stencil.
