Instead, build-depnd on glslc to build them.
glslc is available in all important distros for a while:
Fedora >= 28
Ubuntu >= 23.04
Debian >= 12
Arch
Opensuse >= 15.2
msys2
are the ones I checked.
So we can depend on it and avoid having to deal with keeping spirv files
up-to-date in all commits.
It's also 700kB of data, and not updating it helps.
We now store all the relevant state of the image inside the VulkanImage
struct, so we can delay barriers for as long as possible.
Whenever we want to use an image, we call the new
gsk_vulkan_image_transition() and it will add a barrier to the desired
state if one is necessary.
... and all the remaining functions still using it.
It's all unused and has been replaced by upload and download ops.
With this change, all GPU operations now go via GskVulkanOp.command()
and no more side channels exist.
This op queues a download of an image. The image will only be available
once the commands finished executing, so it requires waiting for the
render to finish, which makes the API a bit awkward.
Included is also a download_png_op() useful for debugging.
The render pass ops were not updating the image's layout to the final
layout when a render pass ends.
Fix that.
Also make the layouts explicit arguments to the render pass op.
Split out the function that uploads using a buffer, so that it can be
used with an area to only update parts of the image.
That feature is not used yet, but will be in future commits.
We were clowing through all the Pango caches for no benefit.
It made the test generation stuck in fontconfig loops instead of
quickly generating tests.
So don't do that and limit the different fonts to some reasonable list
of options.
If a command takes too long to execute, Vulkan drivers will think they
are inflooping and abort what they were doing.
For the simple color shader with smallish nodes, this happens around
10M instances, as tested with the output of
./tests/rendernode-create-tests 10000000 colors.node
So just limit it to way lower, so that we barely never hit it, ut still
pick a big number so this optimization stays noticable.
For small regions, the optimization doesn't matter that much, so we
don't need to do lots of work on the CPU.
In particular, this should catch icons and their backgrounds (32x32),
but I was generous in selecting the number.
Gets my discrete AMD on widget-factory back to the 1900fps it had before
this optimization while making the driver clock the GPU's shader at
1.7GHz instead of the 2.1GHz it used before.
Using clear avoids the shader engine (see last commit), so if we can get
pixels out of it, we should.
So we detect the overlap with the rounded corners of the clip region and
emit shaders for those, but then use Clear() for the rest.
With this in place, widget-factory on my integrated Intel TigerLake gets
a 60% performance boost.
The op emits a vkCmdClearAttachments() with a given color. That can be
used with color nodes that are pixel-aligned and opaque to significantly
speed up rendering when the window background is a solid color.
However, currently this fails a bit outside of fullscreen when rounded
clip rectangles are in use to draw rounded corners.
Instead of using the upload vfunc and going via the code in
GskVulkanImage, copy/paste the relevant code into the command() vfunc.
This is meant to achieve multiple things:
1. Get rid of GskVulkanUploader and its own command buffer and general
non-integration with operations.
2. Get rid of GskVulkanOp:upload()
3. Get the upload/download code machinery for GskVulkanImage and put it
with the actual operations.
The current code can't do direct upload/download, that will follow in a
future commit.
... instead of doing the equivalent things manually by creating a
RenderPass and calling the relevant functions.
Now all renderpass operations are indeed stored in ops.
Also reshuffle the command emission code, because we no longer need to
emit the ops for the base renderpass.
As a result we only submit a single command buffer containing all the
render passes instead of once per render pass.
We also bind vertex buffers and descriptor sets only once now at the
start instead of once per renderpass.
Use the OpClass.stage to order operations:
1. Put upload ops first
This way we can ensure they are executed first.
2. Move subpasses for offscreens in front of the pass using them.
This is a massive refactoring because it collects all the renderops
of all renderpasses into one long array in the Render object.
Lots of code in there is still flaky and needs cleanup. That will
follow in further commits.
Other than that it does work fine though.
All the ops that just execute a shader do pretty much the same stuff, so
put it all in a single function that they all call.
It's basically faking a base class for them.
Instead of recreating the same renderpass object in every frame and for
every offscreen, just reuse it.
Technically, we can save this per-renderer or even per-display (it
should really be cached by VkDevice), but we have no infrastructure for
that.
The function name gsk_vulkan_render_get_pipeline() had been used for
GskVulkanPipeline. Since those are gone now, we can use that name for
VkPipelines.
