This emulates the behavior we get on GLSL with regular SSBOs with a
pointer + length pair. It aims to be consistent with the crashes we
might get.
Out of bounds stores are ignored. Atomics are ignored and return zero.
Reads return zero.
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 the necessary CMake code to copy the contents in a string source
shader (GLSL or GLASM) to a header file then consumed by video_core
files.
This allows editting GLSL in its own files without having to maintain
them in source files.
For now, only OpenGL presentation shaders are moved, but we can add
GLASM presentation shaders and static SPIR-V generation through
glslangValidator in the future.
Migrates a remaining common file over to the Common namespace, making it
consistent with the rest of common files.
This also allows for high-traffic FS related code to alias the
filesystem function namespace as
namespace FS = Common::FS;
for more concise typing.
Does not allocate more threads than available in the host system for boot-time shader compilation and always allocates at least 1 thread if hardware_concurrency() returns 0.
NV_shader_buffer_{load,store} is a 2010 extension that allows GL applications
to use what in Vulkan is known as physical pointers, this is basically C
pointers. On GLASM these is exposed through the LOAD/STORE/ATOM
instructions.
Up until now, assembly shaders were using NV_shader_storage_buffer_object.
These work fine, but have a (probably unintended) limitation that forces
us to have the limit of a single stage for all shader stages. In contrast,
with NV_shader_buffer_{load,store} we can pass GPU addresses to the
shader through local parameters (GLASM equivalent uniform constants, or
push constants on Vulkan). Local parameters have the advantage of being
per stage, allowing us to generate code without worrying about binding
overlaps.
