With timeline semaphores we can avoid creating objects. Instead of
creating an event, grab the current tick from the scheduler and flush
the current command buffer. When the fence has to be queried/waited, we
can do so against the master semaphore instead of spinning on an event.
If Vulkan supported NVN like events or fences, we could signal from the
command buffer and wait for that without splitting things in two
separate command buffers.
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.
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.
Vulkan has requirements for primitive topologies that don't play nicely
with yuzu's. Since it's only 4 bits, we can move it to fixed state
without changing the size of the pipeline key.

Houses.
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.
State track the current primitive topology with a regular comparison
instead of using dirty flags.
This fixes a bug in dirty flags for this particular state and it also
avoids unnecessary state changes as this property is stored in a
frequently changed bit field.
This moves dynamic state present in VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state to a
separate structure in FixedPipelineState. This is structure is at the
bottom allowing us to hash and memcmp only when the extension is not
supported.
Make stream buffer and cached buffers as resident and query their
address. This allows us to use GPU addresses for several proprietary
Nvidia extensions.
There's no need to load contents from the CPU when a clear resets all
the contents of the underlying memory. This is already implemented on
OpenGL and the texture cache.
This allows rendering to 3D textures with more than one slice.
Applications are allowed to render to more than one slice of a texture
using gl_Layer from a VTG shader.
This also requires reworking how 3D texture collisions are handled, for
now, this commit allows rendering to slices but not to miplevels. When a
render target attempts to write to a mipmap, we fallback to the previous
implementation (copying or flushing as needed).
- Fixes color correction 3D textures on UE4 games (rainbow effects).
- Allows Xenoblade games to render to 3D textures directly.
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
Constant attributes (in OpenGL known disabled attributes) are not
supported on Vulkan, even with extensions. To emulate this behavior we
return zero on reads from disabled vertex attributes in shader code.
This has no caching cost because attribute formats are not dynamic state
on Vulkan and we have to store it in the pipeline cache anyway.
- Fixes Animal Crossing: New Horizons terrain borders
This was a left over from OpenGL when disabled buffers where not properly
emulated. We no longer have to assert this as it is checked in vertex
buffer initialization.
