Adam Jackson 3e3d75d16a dri: Epoch how no-error context creation works
The bug here is that the DRI context "flags" are intended to alias the
GLX context flag values, and they don't, DRI's no-error flag is GLX's
reset-isolation flag. GLX (and EGL!) treat no-error as a context
attribute, and reset isolation predates Mesa's no-error implementation
by several years. The GL_KHR_no_error spec does describe it as a
"context flag", though, so maybe that's why we do it as a (DRI) context
flag.

In order to unalias these we need a new contract with the loader. We
remove the old __DRI_NO_ERROR extension, and add a new
__DRI_RENDERER_HAS_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR value to query. Loaders can key on
that to know to pass no-error-ness through as a context attribute,
matching the GLX/EGL calling convention. We go ahead and define
__DRI_CTX_FLAG_RESET_ISOLATION as well, and update the drivers to refuse
it since we don't support it yet.

This means mismatched drivers/loaders will not be able to create
no-error contexts. Too bad. If you want performance that badly you can
build both things at once.

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel
<irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
