--- Comment #7 from Daniel Scharrer daniel@constexpr.org --- Same here on TAHITI (Radeon HD 7950) with Mesa git e93566a, LLVM svn r228889 and kernel 3.18.6-gentoo.
I can confirm that reverting 0e9cdedd2e3943bdb7f3543a3508b883b167e427 fixes the grass, but it also brings back the GPU fault errors in dmesg from bug #87278, although not reproducible with the first apitrace there. Here's a new apitrace showing both the missing grass (with 0e9cded) or GPU faults (with 0e9cded reverted):
