Environment Variables
=====================
Normally, no environment variables need to be set. Most of the
environment variables used by Mesa/Gallium are for debugging purposes,
but they can sometimes be useful for debugging end-user issues.
LibGL environment variables
---------------------------
.. envvar:: LIBGL_DEBUG
If defined debug information will be printed to stderr. If set to
``verbose`` additional information will be printed.
.. envvar:: LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH
colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers
.. envvar:: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
if set to ``true``, forces an indirect rendering context/connection.
.. envvar:: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE
if set to ``true``, always use software rendering
.. envvar:: LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS
if set to ``true``, do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol (for
debugging)
.. envvar:: LIBGL_DRI2_DISABLE
disable DRI2 if set to ``true``.
.. envvar:: LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE
disable DRI3 if set to ``true``.
.. envvar:: LIBGL_KOPPER_DISABLE
disable vulkan swapchains with zink if set to ``true``.
In general, this should not be used unless you know what you are
doing. Some examples of "knowing what you are doing" include:
- using a VK driver which has no WSI implementation for your display server
- profiling the DRI frontend against your VK driver's WSI implementation
.. envvar:: LIBGL_KOPPER_DRI2
disable DRI3 with zink if set to ``true``.
In general, this should not be used unless you know what you are
doing. Some examples of "knowing what you are doing" include:
- running xrdp
- using a VK driver which doesn't support modifiers
Core Mesa environment variables
-------------------------------
.. envvar:: MESA_NO_ERROR
if set to 1, error checking is disabled as per :ext:`GL_KHR_no_error`.
This will result in undefined behavior for invalid use of the API, but
can reduce CPU use for apps that are known to be error free.
.. envvar:: MESA_DEBUG
if set, error messages are printed to stderr. For example, if the
application generates a ``GL_INVALID_ENUM`` error, a corresponding
error message indicating where the error occurred, and possibly why,
will be printed to stderr. For release builds, :envvar:`MESA_DEBUG`
defaults to off (no debug output). :envvar:`MESA_DEBUG` accepts the
following comma-separated list of named flags, which adds extra
behavior to just set :envvar:`MESA_DEBUG` to ``1``:
``silent``
turn off debug messages. Only useful for debug builds.
``flush``
flush after each drawing command
``incomplete_tex``
extra debug messages when a texture is incomplete
``incomplete_fbo``
extra debug messages when a FBO is incomplete
``context``
create a debug context (see ``GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB``) and
print error and performance messages to stderr (or
``MESA_LOG_FILE``).
.. envvar:: MESA_PROCESS_NAME
if set, overrides the process name string used internally for various
purposes (e.g. for driconf option matching, logging, artifact storage,
etc.).
.. envvar:: MESA_LOG_FILE
specifies a file name for logging all errors, warnings, etc., rather
than stderr
.. envvar:: MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE
can be used to enable/disable extensions. A value such as
``GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar`` will enable the ``GL_EXT_foo`` extension
and disable the ``GL_EXT_bar`` extension. Note that this will override
extensions override configured using driconf.
.. envvar:: MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR
The ``GL_EXTENSIONS`` string returned by Mesa is sorted by extension
year. If this variable is set to year X, only extensions defined on
or before year X will be reported. This is to work-around a bug in
some games where the extension string is copied into a fixed-size
buffer without truncating. If the extension string is too long, the
buffer overrun can cause the game to crash. This is a work-around for
that.
.. envvar:: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE
changes the value returned by ``glGetString(GL_VERSION)`` and
possibly the GL API type.
- The format should be ``MAJOR.MINOR[FC|COMPAT]``
- ``FC`` is an optional suffix that indicates a forward compatible
context. This is only valid for versions >= 3.0.
- ``COMPAT`` is an optional suffix that indicates a compatibility
context or :ext:`GL_ARB_compatibility` support. This is only valid
for versions >= 3.1.
- GL versions <= 3.0 are set to a compatibility (non-Core) profile
- GL versions = 3.1, depending on the driver, it may or may not have
the :ext:`GL_ARB_compatibility` extension enabled.
- GL versions >= 3.2 are set to a Core profile
- Examples:
``2.1``
select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 2.1.
``3.0``
select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 3.0.
``3.0FC``
select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version 3.0.
``3.1``
select GL version 3.1 with :ext:`GL_ARB_compatibility` enabled
per the driver default.
``3.1FC``
select GL version 3.1 with forward compatibility and
:ext:`GL_ARB_compatibility` disabled.
``3.1COMPAT``
select GL version 3.1 with :ext:`GL_ARB_compatibility` enabled.
``X.Y``
override GL version to X.Y without changing the profile.
``X.YFC``
select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version X.Y.
``X.YCOMPAT``
select a Compatibility profile with GL version X.Y.
- Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given
version. (for developers only)
.. envvar:: MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE
changes the value returned by ``glGetString(GL_VERSION)`` for OpenGL
ES.
- The format should be ``MAJOR.MINOR``
- Examples: ``2.0``, ``3.0``, ``3.1``
- Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given
version. (for developers only)
.. envvar:: MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE
changes the value returned by
``glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION)``. Valid values are
integers, such as ``130``. Mesa will not really implement all the
features of the given language version if it's higher than what's
normally reported. (for developers only)
.. envvar:: MESA_DRICONF_EXECUTABLE_OVERRIDE
if set, overrides the "executable" string used specifically for driconf
option matching. This takes higher precedence over more general process
name override (e.g. MESA_PROCESS_NAME).
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DISABLE
if set to ``true``, disables the on-disk shader cache. If set to
``false``, enables the on-disk shader cache when it is disabled by
default. Note that EGL_ANDROID_blob_cache is still enabled even
if on-disk shader cache is disabled.
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_CACHE_MAX_SIZE
if set, determines the maximum size of the on-disk cache of compiled
shader programs. Should be set to a number optionally followed by
``K``, ``M``, or ``G`` to specify a size in kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes. By default, gigabytes will be assumed. And if unset, a
maximum size of 1GB will be used.
.. note::
A separate cache might be created for each architecture that Mesa is
installed for on your system. For example under the default settings
you may end up with a 1GB cache for x86_64 and another 1GB cache for
i386.
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR
if set, determines the directory to be used for the on-disk cache of
compiled shader programs. If this variable is not set, then the cache
will be stored in ``$XDG_CACHE_HOME/mesa_shader_cache`` (if that
variable is set), or else within ``.cache/mesa_shader_cache`` within
the user's home directory.
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_CACHE_SHOW_STATS
if set to ``true``, keeps hit/miss statistics for the shader cache.
These statistics are printed when the app terminates.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE
if set to 1, enables the single file Fossilize DB on-disk shader
cache implementation instead of the default multi-file cache
implementation. This implementation reduces the overall disk usage by
the shader cache and also allows for loading of precompiled cache
DBs via :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS` or
:envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS_DYNAMIC_LIST`. This
implementation does not support cache size limits via
:envvar:`MESA_SHADER_CACHE_MAX_SIZE`. If
:envvar:`MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR` is not set, the cache will be stored
in ``$XDG_CACHE_HOME/mesa_shader_cache_sf`` (if that variable is set)
or else within ``.cache/mesa_shader_cache_sf`` within the user's home
directory.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS
if set with :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE` enabled, references
a string of comma separated file paths to read only Fossilize DB
shader caches for loading at initialization. The file paths are
relative to the cache directory and do not include suffixes,
referencing both the cache DB and its index file. E.g.
``MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=filename1`` refers to ``filename1.foz``
and ``filename1_idx.foz``. A limit of 8 DBs can be loaded and this limit
is shared with :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS_DYNAMIC_LIST`.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_DATABASE
if set to 1, enables the Mesa-DB single file on-disk shader cache
implementation instead of the default multi-file cache implementation.
Like :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE`, Mesa-DB reduces overall
disk usage but Mesa-DB supports cache size limits via
:envvar:`MESA_SHADER_CACHE_MAX_SIZE`. If
:envvar:`MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR` is not set, the cache will be stored
in ``$XDG_CACHE_HOME/mesa_shader_cache_db`` (if that variable is set)
or else within ``.cache/mesa_shader_cache_db`` within the user's home
directory.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_DATABASE_NUM_PARTS
specifies number of mesa-db cache parts, default is 50.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_DATABASE_EVICTION_SCORE_2X_PERIOD
Mesa-DB cache eviction algorithm calculates weighted score for the
cache items. The weight is doubled based on the last access time of
cache entry. By default period of weight doubling is set to one month.
Period value is given in seconds.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS_DYNAMIC_LIST
if set with :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE` enabled, references
a text file that contains a new-line separated list of read only
Fossilize DB shader caches to load. The list file is modifiable at
runtime to allow for loading read only caches after initialization
unlike :envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS`. This variable
takes an absolute path to the list file. The list file must exist at
initialization for updating to occur. Cache files in the list take
relative paths to the current cache directory like
:envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS`. A limit of 8 DBs can be
loaded and this limit is shared with
:envvar:`MESA_DISK_CACHE_READ_ONLY_FOZ_DBS`.
.. envvar:: MESA_DISK_CACHE_COMBINE_RW_WITH_RO_FOZ
if set to 1, enables simultaneous use of :abbr:`RW (read-write)` and
:abbr:`RW (read-write)` Fossilize DB caches. At first, data will be
retrieved from the RO Fossilize cache. If data isn't found in the RO
cache, then it will be retrieved from the RW cache.
.. envvar:: MESA_GLSL
:ref:`shading language compiler options <envvars>`
.. envvar:: MESA_NO_MINMAX_CACHE
when set, the minmax index cache is globally disabled.
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_CAPTURE_PATH
see :ref:`Capturing Shaders <capture>`
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_DUMP_PATH
see :ref:`Experimenting with Shader Replacements <replacement>`
.. envvar:: MESA_SHADER_READ_PATH
see :ref:`Experimenting with Shader Replacements <replacement>`
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE
changes the Vulkan physical device version as returned in
``VkPhysicalDeviceProperties::apiVersion``.
- The format should be ``MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH]``
- This will not let you force a version higher than the driver's
instance version as advertised by ``vkEnumerateInstanceVersion``
- This can be very useful for debugging but some features may not be
implemented correctly. (For developers only)
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE
overrides the WSI present mode clients specify in
``VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR::presentMode``. Values can be ``fifo``,
``relaxed``, ``mailbox`` or ``immediate``.
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_WSI_HEADLESS_SWAPCHAIN
Forces all swapchains to be headless (no rendering will be display
in the swapchain's window).
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_ABORT_ON_DEVICE_LOSS
causes the Vulkan driver to call abort() immediately after detecting a
lost device. This is extremely useful when testing as it prevents the
test suite from continuing on with a lost device.
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_ENABLE_SUBMIT_THREAD
for Vulkan drivers which support real timeline semaphores, this forces
them to use a submit thread from the beginning, regardless of whether or
not they ever see a wait-before-signal condition.
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT_DEBUG
print debug info about device selection decision-making
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_TRACE
A comma-separated list of trace types used for offline analysis. The
option names are equal to the file extension. Traces are dumped into ``/tmp``.
Captures can be triggered by pressing ``F1`` with the application window
focused (Currently X11 only) or via :envvar:`MESA_VK_TRACE_FRAME` and
:envvar:`MESA_VK_TRACE_TRIGGER`.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - File extension
- Offline analysis tool
- Supported drivers
* - ``rmv``
- Radeon Memory Visualizer
- ``RADV``
* - ``rgp``
- Radeon GPU Profiler
- ``RADV``
* - ``rra``
- Radeon Raytracing Analyzer
- ``RADV``
* - ``ctxroll``
- Context rolls
- ``RADV``
- Creating RMV captures requires the ``scripts/setup.sh`` script in the
Radeon Developer Tools folder to be run beforehand
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_TRACE_FRAME
Specifies a frame index at which a trace capture is automatically triggered.
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_TRACE_TRIGGER
Specifies a trigger file. Creating the file triggers the capture. (e.g.
``export MESA_VK_TRACE_TRIGGER=/tmp/trigger`` and then ``touch /tmp/trigger``)
.. envvar:: MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE
chooses a different driver binary such as ``etnaviv`` or ``zink``.
.. envvar:: DRI_PRIME_DEBUG
print debug info about device selection decision-making
.. envvar:: DRI_PRIME
the default GPU is the one used by Wayland/Xorg or the one connected to a
display. This variable allows to select a different GPU. It applies to OpenGL
and Vulkan (in this case "select" means the GPU will be first in the reported
physical devices list). The supported syntaxes are:
- ``DRI_PRIME=N``: selects the Nth non-default GPU (N > 0).
- ``DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_02_00_0``: selects the GPU connected to this PCIe bus
- ``DRI_PRIME=vendor_id:device_id``: selects the first GPU matching these ids.
For Vulkan it's possible to append ``!``, in which case only the selected GPU
will be exposed to the application (eg: DRI_PRIME=1!).
.. note::
``lspci -nn | grep VGA`` can be used to know the PCIe bus or ids to use.
.. envvar:: DRIRC_CONFIGDIR
If set, overrides the global search-directories used when searching for
drirc config files. The user-local one will still be used. Mostly useful for
internal debugging.
NIR passes environment variables
--------------------------------
The following are only applicable for drivers that uses NIR, as they
modify the behavior for the common ``NIR_PASS`` and ``NIR_PASS_V`` macros,
that wrap calls to NIR lowering/optimizations.
.. envvar:: NIR_DEBUG
a comma-separated list of debug options to apply to NIR
shaders. Use ``NIR_DEBUG=help`` to print a list of available options.
.. envvar:: NIR_SKIP
a comma-separated list of optimization/lowering passes to skip.

automated test-runs.
Intel driver environment variables
----------------------------------------------------
.. envvar:: ANV_NO_GPL
If set to 1, true, or yes, then VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library
will be disabled.
.. envvar:: INTEL_BLACKHOLE_DEFAULT
if set to 1, true or yes, then the OpenGL implementation will
default ``GL_BLACKHOLE_RENDER_INTEL`` to true, thus disabling any
rendering.
.. envvar:: INTEL_COMPUTE_CLASS
If set to 1, true or yes, then I915_ENGINE_CLASS_COMPUTE will be
supported. For OpenGL, iris will attempt to use a compute engine
for compute dispatches if one is detected. For Vulkan, anvil will
advertise support for a compute queue if a compute engine is
detected.
.. envvar:: INTEL_COPY_CLASS
If set to 1, true or yes, then I915_ENGINE_CLASS_COPY will be
supported. For Vulkan, anvil will advertise support for a transfer
queue if a copy engine is detected.
.. envvar:: INTEL_DEBUG
a comma-separated list of named flags, which do various things:
``ann``
annotate IR in assembly dumps

To make test wait forever, we need to set preempt_timeout_ms and
i915.enable_hangcheck to zero.
``fall``

``fs``
dump shader assembly for fragment shaders
``gs``
dump shader assembly for geometry shaders

mark all state dirty on each draw call
``rt``
dump shader assembly for ray tracing shaders
``sf``
emit messages about the strips & fans unit (for old gens, includes
the SF program)
``soft64``
enable implementation of software 64bit floating point support
``sparse``
dump usage of sparse resources
``spill_fs``
force spilling of all registers in the scalar backend (useful to
debug spilling code)
``spill_vec4``

``INTEL_DECODE=+color,-floats``) :
``color``
print colored output
``floats``
try to decode floating point data in buffers
``full``
print additional custom information for instructions (usually
pulling more information by inspecting memory)
``offsets``
print offsets of instructions
.. envvar:: INTEL_EXTENDED_METRICS
By default, only a standard set of gpu metrics are advertised. This
reduces time to collect metrics and hides infrequently used metrics.
To enable all metrics, set value to 1.
.. envvar:: INTEL_MEASURE
Collects GPU timestamps over common intervals, and generates a CSV report
to show how long rendering took. The overhead of collection is limited to
the flushing that is required at the interval boundaries for accurate
timestamps. By default, timing data is sent to ``stderr``. To direct output
to a file:
``INTEL_MEASURE=file=/tmp/measure.csv {workload}``
To begin capturing timestamps at a particular frame:
``INTEL_MEASURE=file=/tmp/measure.csv,start=15 {workload}``
To capture only 23 frames:
``INTEL_MEASURE=count=23 {workload}``
To capture frames 15-37, stopping before frame 38:
``INTEL_MEASURE=start=15,count=23 {workload}``
Designate an asynchronous control file with:
``INTEL_MEASURE=control=path/to/control.fifo {workload}``
As the workload runs, enable capture for 5 frames with:
``$ echo 5 > path/to/control.fifo``
Enable unbounded capture:
``$ echo -1 > path/to/control.fifo``
and disable with:
``$ echo 0 > path/to/control.fifo``
Select the boundaries of each snapshot with:
``INTEL_MEASURE=draw``
Collects timings for every render (DEFAULT)
``INTEL_MEASURE=rt``
Collects timings when the render target changes
``INTEL_MEASURE=batch``
Collects timings when batches are submitted
``INTEL_MEASURE=frame``
Collects timings at frame boundaries
With ``INTEL_MEASURE=interval=5``, the duration of 5 events will be
combined into a single record in the output. When possible, a single
start and end event will be submitted to the GPU to minimize
stalling. Combined events will not span batches, except in
the case of ``INTEL_MEASURE=frame``.
Collect CPU timestamps instead of GPU timestamps. Prints results
immediately instead of waiting for GPU execution. Useful when used
with interactive debug to know which frame, or where in frame, you
are currently in.
``INTEL_MEASURE=cpu {workload}``
.. envvar:: INTEL_MODIFIER_OVERRIDE
if set, determines the single DRM modifier reported back to (Vulkan)
applications, in order to make selecting modifier deterministic
between Vulkan driver and applications. The value can be one of the
supported modifiers on a platform, but other values are also acceptable
for debug purposes.
.. envvar:: INTEL_NO_HW
if set to 1, true or yes, prevents batches from being submitted to the
hardware. This is useful for debugging hangs, etc.
.. envvar:: INTEL_PRECISE_TRIG
if set to 1, true or yes, then the driver prefers accuracy over
performance in trig functions.
.. envvar:: INTEL_SHADER_OPTIMIZER_PATH
if set, determines the directory to be used for overriding shader
assembly. The binaries with custom assembly should be placed in
this folder and have a name formatted as ``sha1_of_assembly.bin``.
The SHA-1 of a shader assembly is printed when assembly is dumped via
corresponding :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG` flag (e.g. ``vs`` for vertex shader).
A binary could be generated from a dumped assembly by ``i965_asm``.
For :envvar:`INTEL_SHADER_ASM_READ_PATH` to work it is necessary to enable
dumping of corresponding shader stages via :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG`.
It is advised to use ``nocompact`` flag of :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG` when
dumping and overriding shader assemblies.
The success of assembly override would be signified by "Successfully
overrode shader with sha1 <SHA-1>" in stderr replacing the original
assembly.
.. envvar:: INTEL_SHADER_ASM_READ_PATH
if set, determines the directory to be used for overriding shader
assembly. The binaries with custom assembly should be placed in
this folder and have a name formatted as ``sha1_of_assembly.bin``.
The SHA-1 of a shader assembly is printed when assembly is dumped via
corresponding :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG` flag (e.g. ``vs`` for vertex shader).
A binary could be generated from a dumped assembly by ``i965_asm``.
For :envvar:`INTEL_SHADER_ASM_READ_PATH` to work it is necessary to enable
dumping of corresponding shader stages via :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG`.
It is advised to use ``nocompact`` flag of :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG` when
dumping and overriding shader assemblies.
The success of assembly override would be signified by "Successfully
overrode shader with sha1 <SHA-1>" in stderr replacing the original
assembly.
.. envvar:: INTEL_SHADER_BIN_DUMP_PATH
if set, determines the directory to which the compiled shaders will be
dumped. They will be dumped as ``sha1_of_assembly.bin``, where the sha1
values will be the same as can be found in the :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG`
output, and can be used for :envvar:`INTEL_SHADER_ASM_READ_PATH` input.
.. note::
Unlike the text form of shader dumping, :envvar:`INTEL_DEBUG`
does not affect on the list of shaders to dump. All generated shaders
are always dumped if :envvar:`INTEL_SHADER_BIN_DUMP_PATH` variable is
set.
.. envvar:: INTEL_SIMD_DEBUG
a comma-separated list of named flags, which control simd dispatch widths:
``fs8``
allow generation of SIMD8 fragment shader
``fs16``
allow generation of SIMD16 fragment shader
``fs32``
allow generation of SIMD32 fragment shader
``cs8``
allow generation of SIMD8 compute shader
``cs16``
allow generation of SIMD16 compute shader
``cs32``
allow generation of SIMD32 compute shader
``ts8``
allow generation of SIMD8 task shader
``ts16``
allow generation of SIMD16 task shader
``ts32``
allow generation of SIMD32 task shader
``ms8``
allow generation of SIMD8 mesh shader
``ms16``
allow generation of SIMD16 mesh shader
``ms32``
allow generation of SIMD32 mesh shader
``rt8``
allow generation of SIMD8 ray-tracing shader
``rt16``
allow generation of SIMD16 ray-tracing shader
``rt32``
allow generation of SIMD32 ray-tracing shader
If none of widths for particular shader stage was specified, then all
widths are allowed.
DRI environment variables
-------------------------
.. envvar:: DRI_NO_MSAA
disable MSAA for GLX/EGL MSAA visuals
Vulkan mesa device select layer environment variables
-----------------------------------------------------
.. envvar:: MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT

.. envvar:: VK_DRIVER_FILES
Force the loader to use the specific driver JSON files. The value contains
a list of delimited full path listings to driver JSON Manifest files
and/or paths to folders containing driver JSON files.
See `Vulkan loader docs on environment variables`_.
.. envvar:: VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE
A comma-delimited list of globs to search for in known layers and used to
select only the layers whose layer name matches one or more of the
provided globs.
Known layers are those which are found by the loader taking into account
default search paths and other environment variables (like VK_LAYER_PATH).
