We need them for mask-only textures.
For tiffs, we convert the formats to RGBA (the idea that tiff can save
everything needs to be buried I guess) as tiffs can't do alpha-only.
When a GdkMemoryFormat is not supported natively and there's
postprocessing required, add a way to mark a VulkanImage as such via the
new postprocess flags.
Also allow texting such iamges only with new_for_upload() and detect
when that is the case and then run a postprocessing step that converts
that image to a suitable format.
This is done with a new "convert" shader/op.
This now supports all formats natively, no conversions happen on the CPU
anymore (unless the GPU is old).
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It's all unused and has been replaced by upload and download ops.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.
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.
If a node has a higher depth, pick the RGBA format that has that depth
as the texture format we're renderig to with render_texture().
Support for adapting the swapchain is not part of this.
When a GdkMemoryFormat isn't supported, pick close formats that have a
higher chance of being supported.
Make sure this works recursively and the whole loop always ends up at
R8G8B8A8_UNORM because that one is mandatory.
Roughly, follow these rules:
1. Drop the unpremultiplied
2. Expand channels to include all of RGBA
3. pick swizzle that is RGBA
4. pick next largest depth
5. pick R8G8B8A8_UNORM
This way, we unify the code paths for memory access to textures.
We also technically gain the ability to modify images, though I have no
use case for this.
That way, the offscreen can create images of different types.
Its not used in this commit, but will come in handy when we want to
support high bit depth.
Now that we don't use the old environment variables anymore to force
staging buffer/image uploads, we don't need them.
However, we do autodetect the fast path for avoiding a staging buffer
now, and we might want to be able to turn that off for testing.
So add GSK_DEBUG=staging that does exactly that.
This is unused now that all the code uses map/unmap.
The only thing that map/unmap doesn't do that the old code did, was use
a staging image instead as alternative to a staging buffer for image
uploads.
However, that code is not necessary for anything, so I'm sure we can do
without.
If the memory heap that the GPU uses allows CPU access
(which is the case on basically every integrated GPU, including phones),
we can avoid a staging buffer and write directly into the image memory.
Check for this case and do that automatically.
Unfortunately we need to change the image format we use from
VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL to VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR, I haven't found a way
around that yet.
As an alternative to gsk_vulkan_image_new_from_data() that
takes a given data and creates an image from it, add a 3 step process:
gsk_vulkan_image_new_for_upload()
gsk_vulkan_image_map_memory()
/* put data into memory */
gsk_vulkan_image_unmap_memory()
The benefit of this approach is that it potentially avoids a copy;
instead of creating a buffer to pass and writing the data into it before
then memcpy()ing it into the image, the data can be written straight
into image memory.
So far, only the staging buffer upload is implemented.
There are also no users, those come in the next commit(s).
This doesn't make any difference now, but will allow us to copy
subregions more easily. This is not obvious, but here's a quick
explanation:
Leaving 'bufferRowLength' and 'bufferImageHeight' implies that
Vulkan will assume the size passed in the 'imageExtent' field.
Right now, this assumption is correct - the only user of this
function is the glyph cache, and it only copies and uploads
exact rects. Next commits will change that assumption, so we
must pass 'buffer*' fields, and tell Vulkan, "this part of the
buffer represents an image of width x height, and I want the
subregion (x, y, smallerWidth, smallerHeight) of this image".
When creating an image using gsk_vulkan_image_new_for_framebuffer(),
it passes VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL.
However, this is a mistake. The spec demands that the initial
layout must be either VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or
VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED.
Apparently this was an oversight from commit b97fb75146, since the
commit message even documents that, and all other calls pass either
VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED.
Create framebuffer images using VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED, which is
what was originally expected.
Multiple images in the before barrier array are defined with
VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_WRITE_BIT and VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_READ_BIT,
which requires passing VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TRANSFER_BIT and
VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_HOST_BIT to vkCmdPipelineBarrier().
Pass these flags correctly.
