Hello,
I have a Radeon HD7950 and use Kubuntu 16.04 with Kernel 4.8 and padoka ppa (for mesa) to play Shadow of Mordor. I just tried out the 4.9-rc1 and noticed a significant performance drop in the built in benchmark.
Kernel; Resolution; Details Setting; Min FPS; Avg FPS; Max FPS 4.8; FullHD; Very High; 21,37; 37,29; 64,47 4.8; FullHD; Lowest; 27,42; 48,70; 86,77 4.8; 384x216; Very High; 20,30; 39,66; 73,23 4.8; 384x216; Lowest; 27,14; 50,30; 87,34 4.9; FullHD; Very High; 15,15; 29,59; 59,51 4.9; FullHD; Lowest; 26,00; 39,20; 67,31 4.9; 384x216; Very High; 14,94; 30,33; 58,00 4.9; 384x216; Lowest; 22,07; 37,98; 70,93
4.8.1 seems fine as well, but I only tested FullHD / Very High getting the same results as with 4.8.
All runs used: - mesa (1:12.1~git161016172400.c61eb3c~y~padoka0) - libdrm (2.4.71+git1610081859.a44c9c3~x~padoka0)
I build the 4.9-rc1 kernel as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
If it helps I could try to bisect the kernel but that might take a few days (maybe even a week or two) depending on how much free time I have.

87744ab3832b83ba71b931f86f9cfdb000d07da5 is the first bad commit commit 87744ab3832b83ba71b931f86f9cfdb000d07da5 Author: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Fri Oct 7 17:00:18 2016 -0700
mm: fix cache mode tracking in vm_insert_mixed()
vm_insert_mixed() unlike vm_insert_pfn_prot() and vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(), fails to check the pgprot_t it uses for the mapping against the one recorded in the memtype tracking tree. Add the missing call to track_pfn_insert() to preclude cases where incompatible aliased mappings are established for a given physical address range.

Yes that did it.
Only tested Full HD with Very High Details.
Kernel compiled from; Min FPS; Avg FPS; Max FPS d66ba15bde22703b3c0cec6782519cb0765a6777; 21,14; 36,85; 63,29 87744ab3832b83ba71b931f86f9cfdb000d07da5; 15,78; 30,47; 59,13
Had to compile with CONFIG_OPROFILE and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER disabled, to avoid this error: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9364811/

--- Comment #5 from Christian Nissen christiannissen@gmx.de --- Did a quick retested with 4.9-rc5. I'm now getting 37-ish average FPS on both 4.8 and 4.9. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
