Re: [PATCH 00/11] drm/vkms: improve color curve LUTs precision

Thanks a lot for the series!

I'm using it as part of a branch [1] to test my/our Weston post-blend color-op pipeline implementation [2] - including additional commits using the new script to add gamma 2.2 and 2.4 [3] curves. The Weston tests compare the vkms output against the GL renderer for e.g. NV12 bt709-limited-range bt1886/gamma2.4 content - successfully (i.e. the results match very closely).

I also went through the commits and didn't spot any more issues. Thus with the 32bit issues raised by the bot addressed the whole series is:

Currently VKMS only supports uniform LUTs. Besides the userspace
provided LUTs, it also represents color curves with LUTs, as it can't
simply implement the continuous curve formulas (floating-point would be
required).

This adds support to represent color curves with non-uniform LUTs,
improving the precision significantly. It also provides a script
that was used to create these LUTs.

The optimized LUTs use more samples in regions where the interpolation
and quantization errors are higher (usually in regions with a steeper
slope). The LUT generator script compares different strategies and uses
greedy subdivision, which outperformed the other methods, to generate
the optimized LUTs for VKMS.

drm/vkms: rename VKMS_LUT_SIZE to VKMS_GAMMA_LUT_SIZE
drm/vkms: allow color curve LUTs to have different sizes
drm/vkms: remove TEST_LUT_SIZE
drm/vkms: remove linear_eotf
drm/vkms: improve the way in which we access LUT member
drm/vkms: rename struct vkms_color_lut::base to y
drm/vkms: rename get_lut_index() to get_uniform_lut_index()
drm/vkms: add support to non-uniform LUT for internal color curves
drm/vkms: test sRGB and inverse sRGB LUTs using more samples
drm/vkms: add script to create optimized LUTs for color curves
drm/vkms: replace uniform sRGB LUT and its inverse with optimal ones
