Skip fast buffer uploads on Nvidia 443.24 Vulkan beta driver on OpenGL.
This driver throws the following error when calling BufferSubData or
BufferData on buffers that are candidates for fast constant buffer
uploads. This is the equivalens to push constants on Vulkan, except that
they can access the full buffer. The error:
Unknown internal debug message. The NVIDIA OpenGL driver has encountered
an out of memory error. This application might
behave inconsistently and fail.
If this error persists on future drivers, we might have to look deeper
into this issue. For now, we can black list it and log it as a temporary
solution.
NV_transform_feedback, NV_transform_feedback2 and
ARB_transform_feedback3 with NV_transform_feedback interactions allows
implementing transform feedbacks as dynamic state.
Maxwell implements transform feedbacks as dynamic state, so using these
extensions with TransformFeedbackStreamAttribsNV allows us to properly
emulate transform feedbacks without having to recompile shaders when the
state changes.
This avoids using Nvidia's ASTC decoder on OpenGL.
The last time it was profiled, it was slower than yuzu's decoder.
While we are at it, fix a bug in the texture cache when native ASTC is
not supported.
Previously we were disabling compute shaders on Intel's proprietary driver due to broken compute. This has been fixed in the latest Intel drivers. Re-enable compute for Intel proprietary drivers and remove the check for broken compute.
Add code required to use OpenGL assembly programs based on
NV_gpu_program5. Decompilation for ARB programs is intended to be added
in a follow up commit. This does **not** include ARB decompilation and
it's not in an usable state.
The intention behind assembly programs is to reduce shader stutter
significantly on drivers supporting NV_gpu_program5 (and other required
extensions). Currently only Nvidia's proprietary driver supports these
extensions.
Add a UI option hidden for now to avoid people enabling this option
accidentally.
This code path has some limitations that OpenGL compatibility doesn't
have:
- NV_shader_storage_buffer_object is limited to 16 entries for a single
OpenGL context state (I don't know if this is an intended limitation, an
specification issue or I am missing something). Currently causes issues
on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
- NV_parameter_buffer_object can't bind buffers using an offset
different to zero. The used workaround is to copy to a temporary buffer
(this doesn't happen often so it's not an issue).
On the other hand, it has the following advantages:
- Shaders build a lot faster.
- We have control over how floating point rounding is done over
individual instructions (SPIR-V on Vulkan can't do this).
- Operations on shared memory can be unsigned and signed.
- Transform feedbacks are dynamic state (not yet implemented).
- Parameter buffers (uniform buffers) are per stage, matching NVN and
hardware's behavior.
- The API to bind and create assembly programs makes sense, unlike
ARB_separate_shader_objects.
Previously we naively checked for "Intel" in GL_VENDOR, but this
includes both Intel's proprietary driver and the mesa driver. Re-enable
compute shaders for mesa.
The heuristic to detect AMD's driver was not working properly since it
also included Intel. Instead of using heuristics to detect it, compare
the GL_VENDOR string.
SSBOs and other resources are limited per pipeline on Intel and AMD.
Heuristically reserve resources per stage having in mind the reported
OpenGL limits.
Nvidia's OpenGL driver maps gl(Named)BufferSubData with some requirements
to a fast. This path has an extra memcpy but updates the buffer without
orphaning or waiting for previous calls. It can be seen as a better
model for "push constants" that can upload a whole UBO instead of 256
bytes.
This path has some requirements established here:

Instead of using the stream buffer, this commits moves constant buffers
uploads to calls of glNamedBufferSubData and from my testing it brings a
performance improvement. This is disabled when the vendor is not Nvidia
since it brings performance regressions.
Implement VOTE using Nvidia's intrinsics. Documentation about these can
be found here

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.
This commit implements gl_ViewportIndex and gl_Layer in vertex and
geometry shaders. In the case it's used in a vertex shader, it requires
ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array. This extension is available on AMD and
Nvidia devices (mesa and proprietary drivers), but not available on
Intel on any platform. At the moment of writing this description I don't
know if this is a hardware limitation or a driver limitation.
In the case that ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array is not available,
writes to these registers on a vertex shader are ignored, with the
appropriate logging.
This test is intended to be invalid GLSL, but it was being invalid in
two points instead of one. The intention is to use a non-immediate
parameter in a textureOffset like function.
The problem is that this shader was being compiled as a separable
shader object and the text was writting to gl_Position without a
redeclaration, being invalid GLSL.
Address that issue by using a user-defined output attribute.
Component indexing on AMD's proprietary driver is broken. This commit adds
a test to detect when we are on a driver that can't successfully manage
component indexing.
It dispatches a dummy draw with just one vertex shader that writes to an
indexed SSBO from the GPU with data sent through uniforms, it then reads
that data from the CPU and compares the expected output.
