Implement VOTE using Nvidia's intrinsics. Documentation about these can
be found here
https://developer.nvidia.com/reading-between-threads-shader-intrinsics
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.
With shader caches on the horizon, one requirement is to provide visible
feedback for the progress. The shader cache reportedly takes several
minutes to load for large caches that were invalidated, and as such we
should provide a loading screen with progress.
Adds a loading screen widget that will be shown until the first frame of
the game is swapped. This was chosen in case shader caches are not being
used, several games still take more than a few seconds to launch and
could benefit from a loading screen.
The mingw builds aren't submitting telemetry because the curl library
they are linked against is configured to use openSSL and openSSL looks
for the certificates in the users home folder. This keeps it from
contacting web services because it can't communicate over SSL.
This commit adds a download in mingw builds that will download a
precompiled curl for mingw linked against winssl and sspi.
