Allows some implementations to avoid completely zeroing out the internal
buffer of the optional, and instead only set the validity byte within
the structure.
This also makes it consistent how we return empty optionals.
This reworks how host<->device synchronization works on the Vulkan
backend. Instead of "protecting" resources with a fence and signalling
these as free when the fence is known to be signalled by the host GPU,
use timeline semaphores.
Vulkan timeline semaphores allow use to work on a subset of D3D12
fences. As far as we are concerned, timeline semaphores are a value set
by the host or the device that can be waited by either of them.
Taking advantange of this, we can have a monolithically increasing
atomic value for each submission to the graphics queue. Instead of
protecting resources with a fence, we simply store the current logical
tick (the atomic value stored in CPU memory). When we want to know if a
resource is free, it can be compared to the current GPU tick.
This greatly simplifies resource management code and the free status of
resources should have less false negatives.
To workaround bugs in validation layers, when these are attached there's
a thread waiting for timeline semaphores.
Now that the GPU is initialized when video backends are initialized,
it's no longer needed to query components once the game is running: it
can be done when yuzu is booting.
This allows us to pass components between constructors and in the
process remove all Core::System references in the video backend.
Add HSET2_IMM. Due to the complexity of the encoding avoid using
BitField unions and read the relevant bits from the code itself.
This is less error prone.
Games using D3D idioms can join images and samplers when a shader
executes, instead of baking them into a combined sampler image. This is
also possible on Vulkan.
One approach to this solution would be to use separate samplers on
Vulkan and leave this unimplemented on OpenGL, but we can't do this
because there's no consistent way of determining which constant buffer
holds a sampler and which one an image. We could in theory find the
first bit and if it's in the TIC area, it's an image; but this falls
apart when an image or sampler handle use an index of zero.
The used approach is to track for a LOP.OR operation (this is done at an
IR level, not at an ISA level), track again the constant buffers used as
source and store this pair. Then, outside of shader execution, join
the sample and image pair with a bitwise or operation.
This approach won't work on games that truly use separate samplers in a
meaningful way. For example, pooling textures in a 2D array and
determining at runtime what sampler to use.
This invalidates OpenGL's disk shader cache :)
- Used mostly by D3D ports to Switch
Geometry shaders built from Nvidia's compiler check for bits[16:23] to
be less than or equal to 0 with VSETP to default to a "safe" value of
0x8000'0000 (safe from hardware's perspective). To avoid hitting this
path in the shader, return 0x00ff'0000 from S2R INVOCATION_INFO.
This seems to be the maximum number of vertices a geometry shader can
emit in a primitive.
Hardware S2R special registers match gl_Thread*MaskNV. We can trivially
implement these using Nvidia's extension on OpenGL or naively stubbing
them with the ARB instructions to match. This might cause issues if the
host device warp size doesn't match Nvidia's. That said, this is
unlikely on proper shaders.
