Reimplement the buffer cache using cached bindings and page level
granularity for modification tracking. This also drops the usage of
shared pointers and virtual functions from the cache.
- Bindings are cached, allowing to skip work when the game changes few
bits between draws.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders no longer copy when a region has been modified
from the GPU to emulate constant buffers, instead GL_EXT_memory_object
is used to alias sub-buffers within the same allocation.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders stream constant buffer data using
glProgramBufferParametersIuivNV, from NV_parameter_buffer_object. In
theory this should save one hash table resolve inside the driver
compared to glBufferSubData.
- A new OpenGL stream buffer is implemented based on fences for drivers
that are not Nvidia's proprietary, due to their low performance on
partial glBufferSubData calls synchronized with 3D rendering (that
some games use a lot).
- Most optimizations are shared between APIs now, allowing Vulkan to
cache more bindings than before, skipping unnecesarry work.
This commit adds the necessary infrastructure to use Vulkan object from
OpenGL. Overall, it improves performance and fixes some bugs present on
the old cache. There are still some edge cases hit by some games that
harm performance on some vendors, this are planned to be fixed in later
commits.
Instead of using a two step initialization to report errors, initialize
the GPU renderer and rasterizer on the constructor and report errors
through std::runtime_error.
The "VK" prefix predates the "Vulkan" namespace. It was carried around
the codebase for consistency. "VKDevice" currently is a bad alias with
"VkDevice" (only an upcase character of difference) that can cause
confusion. Rename all instances of it.
For listing the available physical devices we can use Vulkan 1.0.
Now that MoltenVK supports 1.1 we can require it for running games.
Add missing documentation.
Move surface initialization code to a separate file. It's unlikely to
use this code outside of Vulkan, but keeping platform-specific code
(Win32, Xlib, Wayland) in its own translation unit keeps things cleaner.
Initialize debug callbacks (messenger) from a separate file. This allows
sharing code with different backends.
Change our Vulkan error handling to use exceptions instead of error
codes, simplifying the initialization process.
The current texture cache has several points that hurt maintainability
and performance. It's easy to break unrelated parts of the cache
when doing minor changes. The cache can easily forget valuable
information about the cached textures by CPU writes or simply by its
normal usage.The current texture cache has several points that hurt

This commit aims to address those issues.
Migrates the video core code closer to enabling variable shadowing
warnings as errors.
This primarily sorts out shadowing occurrences within the Vulkan code.
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.
Reduces some header churn and reduces rebuilds when some header
internals change.
While we're at it we can also resolve a missing include in buffer_cache.
Changes the GraphicsContext to be managed by the GPU core. This
eliminates the need for the frontends to fool around with tricky
MakeCurrent/DoneCurrent calls that are dependent on the settings (such
as async gpu option).
This also refactors out the need to use QWidget::fromWindowContainer as
that caused issues with focus and input handling. Now we use a regular
QWidget and just access the native windowHandle() directly.
Another change is removing the debug tool setting in FrameMailbox.
Instead of trying to block the frontend until a new frame is ready, the
core will now take over presentation and draw directly to the window if
the renderer detects that its hooked by NSight or RenderDoc
Lastly, since it was in the way, I removed ScopeAcquireWindowContext and
replaced it with a simple subclass in GraphicsContext that achieves the
same result
