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.
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.
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.
Adds optional support for Nsight Aftermath. It is enabled through
ENABLE_NSIGHT_AFTERMATH in cmake. A path to the SDK has to be provided
by the environment variable NSIGHT_AFTERMATH_SDK.
Nsight Aftermath allows an application to generate "minidumps" of the
GPU state when a device loss happens. By analysing these on Nsight we
can know what a game was doing and why it triggered a device loss.
The dump is generated inside %APPDATA%\yuzu\log\gpucrash and this
directory is deleted every time a new instance is initialized with
Nsight enabled.
To enable it on yuzu there has a to be a driver and device capable of
running Nsight Aftermath on Vulkan. That means only Turing based GPUs
on the latest stable driver, beta drivers won't work for now.
It is manually enabled in Configuration>Debug>Enable Graphics Debugging
because when using all debugging capabilities there is a runtime cost.
Implement accessing textures through an index. It uses the same
interface as OpenGL, the main difference is that Vulkan bindings are
forced to be arrayed (the binding index doesn't change for stacked
textures in SPIR-V).
