Implement VOTE using Nvidia's intrinsics. Documentation about these can
be found here
https://developer.nvidia.com/reading-between-threads-shader-intrinsics
Instead of using portable ARB instructions I opted to use Nvidia
intrinsics because these are the closest we have to how Tegra X1
hardware renders.
To stub VOTE on non-Nvidia drivers (including nouveau) this commit
simulates a GPU with a warp size of one, returning what is meaningful
for the instruction being emulated:
* anyThreadNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsEqualNV(value) -> true
ballotARB, also known as "uint64_t(activeThreadsNV())", emits
VOTE.ANY Rd, PT, PT;
on nouveau's compiler. This doesn't match exactly to Nvidia's code
VOTE.ALL Rd, PT, PT;
Which is emulated with activeThreadsNV() by this commit. In theory this
shouldn't really matter since .ANY, .ALL and .EQ affect the predicates
(set to PT on those cases) and not the registers.
Analysis passes do not have a good reason to depend on shader_ir.h to
work on top of nodes. This splits node-related declarations to their own
file and leaves the IR in shader_ir.h
Instead of having a vector of unique_ptr stored in a vector and
returning star pointers to this, use shared_ptr. While changing
initialization code, move it to a separate file when possible.
This is a first step to allow code analysis and node generation beyond
the ShaderIR class.
Implements an API agnostic texture view based texture cache. Classes
defined here are intended to be inherited by the API implementation and
used in API-specific code.
This implementation exposes protected virtual functions to be called
from the implementer.
Before executing any surface copies methods (defined in API-specific code)
it tries to detect if the overlapping surface is a superset and if it
is, it creates a view. Views are references of a subset of a surface, it
can be a superset view (the same as referencing the whole texture).
Current code manages 1D, 1D array, 2D, 2D array, cube maps and cube map
arrays with layer and mipmap level views. Texture 3D slices views are
not implemented.
If the view attempt fails, the fast path is invoked with the overlapping
textures (defined in the implementer). If that one fails (returning
nullptr) it will flush and reload the texture.
This manages two kinds of streaming buffers: one for unified memory
models and one for dedicated GPUs. The first one skips the copy from the
staging buffer to the real buffer, since it creates an unified buffer.
This implementation waits for all fences to finish their operation
before "invalidating". This is suboptimal since it should allocate
another buffer or start searching from the beginning. There is room for
improvement here.
This could also handle AMD's "pinned" memory (a heap with 256 MiB) that
seems to be designed for buffer streaming.
The scheduler abstracts command buffer and fence management with an
interface that's able to do OpenGL-like operations on Vulkan command
buffers.
It returns by value a command buffer and fence that have to be used for
subsequent operations until Flush or Finish is executed, after that the
current execution context (the pair of command buffers and fences) gets
invalidated a new one must be fetched. Thankfully validation layers will
quickly detect if this is skipped throwing an error due to modifications
to a sent command buffer.
