mesa: 23.1.7 -> 23.3.0, bump patches

[colemickens]

Description of changes

• Draft PR
• bumps mesa from stable to 23.3.0
• my system is currently rebuilding with this applied (testing will be with glslang: 12.3.1 -> 13.1.1 #256154 and rustc: 1.72.1 -> 1.73.0 #259989 applied)

Maybe useful for anyone who wants to test, since we haven't merged #258017 and I don't know what the status of the 23.2 branch is for mesa. There's been no commits to the 23.2 branch since 23.2.1 was cut and released.

EDIT: To be clear, this is left as a draft, and even if it weren't is not meant to be merged as is.

I don't understand what's happening upstream around 23.2. There's been no activity in the branch for over five weeks now (only staging/23.2) and even 23.1 has newer changes and release than that. No mention in announcements, not even a proper announcement for any non-RC 23.2 version.

For now it seems that we'll keep NixOS 23.11 on mesa-23.1, as I didn't notice anything very important in 23.2 and it didn't feel "stable enough" so far.

didn't notice anything very important

Well, according to Phoronix ray tracing is turned on by default on RADV: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-23.2.1-Released

[vcunat]

I think I did see that, but importance is just subjective.

I am looking forward to AV1 video encoding on AMD graphic cards, which is added on Mesa 23.3: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Mesa-AV1-VA-API-Encode

I agree that the inactivity around 23.2 is rather strange (as I was expecting at least a 23.2.2 relatively soon after the first stable 23.2 release), it would be a bit of a shame if we won't be able to land Mesa 23.2 in NixOS 23.11, since that's my only opportunity to get a new mesa release for the next 6 months. While I don't have any specific features from 23.2 that I need, it's always nice to get the general improvements, no matter how small.

I assume that even if Mesa 23.3.0-rc4 (which should release this Wednesday) turns out to be the final release of this series, the window to get it merged for NixOS 23.11 will be too small?

[vcunat]

We normally don't even use .0 releases in nixpkgs, so who knows when 23.3.1 comes. And the window for "breaking changes" (which this probably is) was closed already.

[colemickens]

23.3.0 is out. I've bumped this PR. Leaving as draft until 23.3.1. System is rebuilding, I haven't tested yet.

[jansol]

@colemickens could you add a comment in default.nix describing what the OpenCL patch does? The patch itself isn't very obvious to me. Same for the cache dir patch, since this commit drops the original commit message from the patch file.

[colemickens]

@jansol good feedback, I'll try to re-generate the patches with their messages, and give a short comment in the default.nix. I will do this when I bump to 23.3.1 and mark as ready.

Heads-up: OLIMEX Teres-A64 has broken mesa in NixOS due to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/8198 which results in stuff erroring in DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Cannot allocate memory that eventually crash the system which was fixed in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/c426e5677f36c3b0b8e8ea199ed4f2c7fad06d47 which was backported in mesa 22.3, skipping 23.0, and will be in 23.1 as the commit was merged into main before 23.1 branches off of main where backport was not introduced in NixOS.

This update should fix the issues, please make sure that the mentioned patch is included in the update. Thanks ✌️

[jansol]

23.3.1 is out!

[K900]

Good. I'll get it tomorrow if @colemickens doesn't.
