This makes constant buffer uploads safer and more accurate by updating the GPU memory as soon as the CB Data method is invoked. The previous implementation was deferring the updates until a different maxwell 3d method was detected, then writing all CB data at once.
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 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.
fmt now automatically prints the numeric value of an enum class member
by default, so we don't need to use casts any more.
Reduces the line noise a bit.
This reduces the overhead of bounds checking on each element.
It won't reduce the cost of allocation because usually this vector's
capacity is usually large enough to hold whatever we push to it.
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.
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
Drop MemoryBarrier from the buffer cache and use Maxwell3D's register
WaitForIdle.
To implement this on OpenGL we just call glMemoryBarrier with the
necessary bits.
Vulkan lacks this synchronization primitive, so we set an event and
immediately wait for it. This is not a pretty solution, but it's what
Vulkan can do without submitting the current command buffer to the queue
(which ends up being more expensive on the CPU).
