When ops get allocated that use the same stats as the last op, put them
into the same ShaderOp. This reduces the number of ShaderOps we need to
record, which has 3 benefits:
1. It's less work when iterating over all the ops.
This isn't a big win, but it makes submit() and print() run a bit
faster.
2. We don't need to manage data per-op.
This is a large win because we don't need to ref/unref descriptors
as much anymore, and refcounting is visible on profiles.
3. We save memory.
This is a pretty big win because we iterate over ops a lot, and when
the array is large enough (I've managed to write testcases that makes
it grow to over 4GB) it kills all the caches and that's bad.
The main benefit of all this are glyphs, which used to emit 1 ShaderOp
per glyph and can now end up with 1 ShaderOp for multiple text nodes,
even if those text nodes use different fonts or colors - because they
can all share the same ColorizeOp.
With potentially multiple ops per ShaderOp, we may encounter situations
where 1 ShaderOp contains more ops than we want to merge. (With
GSK_GPU_SKIP=merge, we don't want to merge at all.)
So we still merge the ShaderOps (now unconditionally), but we then run
a loop that potentially splits the merged ops again - exactly at the
point we want to.
This way we can merge ops inside of ShaderOps and merge ShaderOps, but
still have the draw calls contain the exact number of ops we want.
This just introduces the variable and sets it to 1 everywhere.
The ultimate goal is to allow one ShaderOp to collect multiple ops into
one, thereby saving memory in the ops array and leading to faster
performance.
A variation is a #define/specialization constant that every shader can
use to specialize itself as it sees fit.
This commit adds the infrastrcture, future commits will add
implementations.
In the case where descriptor indexing is not enabled and the number of
max images is small (or we use extensive amounts of immutable samplers),
we need to be able to switch descriptors.
This patch makes that possible.
We compile custom shaders for Vulkan 1.0 that don't require the
extension.
We also ensure that our accesses are uniform by only executing one
shader at a time.
Carry an n_external_textures variable around when selecting programs and
compile different programs for different amounts of external textures.
For now, this code is unused, but dmabufs will need it.
This allows having different layouts sothat we can support immutable
samplers, whcih are required for multiplane and YUV formats.
We don't use them yet.
Introduce a new GskGpuImageDescriptors object that tracks descriptors
for a set of images that can be managed by the GPU.
Then have each GskGpuShaderOp just reference the descriptors object they are
using, so that the coe can set things up properly.
To reference an image, the ops now just reference their descriptor -
which is the uint32 we've been sending to the shaders since forever.
Use glDrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance() to draw. (Yay for GL naming.)
That allows setting up the offset in the vertex array without having to
glVertexAttribPointer() everything again.
However, this is only supported since GL 4.2 and not at all in stock GLES,
so we need to have code that can work without it.
Fortunately, it is mandatory in Vulkan, so every recent GPU supports it.
And if that GPU has a proper driver, it will also expose the GL extension
for it.
(Hint: You can check https://opengles.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php for
how many proper drivers exist outside of Mesa.)
Because GL flips its shit sometimes (ie when it's the framebuffer),
pass the height of the target as the flip variable, so commands
that need to operate on the pixels can flip the y axis around this value.
This heaves over an inital chunk of code from the Vulkan renderer to
execute shaders.
The only shader that exists for now is a shader that draws a single
texture.
We use that to replace the blit op we were doing before.
