The traversable handle of a BLAS may be zero when the relevant geometry
is empty (no triangles/curves/points/...), as no BLAS is built in such cases.
It is not correct to attach a zero handle to a TLAS, so filter out such instances.
Materials without connections to the output node would crash with OSL
in OptiX, since the Cycles `OSLCompiler` generates an empty shader
group reference for them, which resulted in the OptiX device
implementation setting an empty SBT entry for the corresponding direct
callables, which then crashed when calling those direct callables was
attempted in `osl_eval_nodes`. This fixes that by setting the SBT entries
for empty shader groups to a dummy direct callable that does nothing.
Switching viewport denoising causes kernels to be reloaded with a new
feature mask, which would destroy the existing OptiX pipelines. But OSL
kernels were not reloaded as well, leaving the shading pipeline
uninitialized and therefore causing an error when it is later attempted to
execute it. This fixes that by ensuring OSL kernels are always reloaded
when the normal kernels are too.
Cycles already treats denoising fairly separate in its code, with a
dedicated `Denoiser` base class used to describe denoising
behavior. That class has been fully implemented for OIDN
(`denoiser_oidn.cpp`), but for OptiX was mostly empty
(`denoiser_optix.cpp`) and denoising was instead implemented in
the OptiX device. That meant denoising code was split over various
files and directories, making it a bit awkward to work with. This
patch moves the OptiX denoising implementation into the existing
`OptiXDenoiser` class, so that everything is in one place. There are
no functional changes, code has been mostly moved as-is. To
retain support for potential other denoiser implementations based
on a GPU device in the future, the `DeviceDenoiser` base class was
kept and slightly extended (and its file renamed to
`denoiser_gpu.cpp` to follow similar naming rules as
`path_trace_work_*.cpp`).

This patch generalizes the OSL support in Cycles to include GPU
device types and adds an implementation for that in the OptiX
device. There are some caveats still, including simplified texturing
due to lack of OIIO on the GPU and a few missing OSL intrinsics.
Note that this is incomplete and missing an update to the OSL
library before being enabled! The implementation is already
committed now to simplify further development.

If no OPTIX_ROOT is set, nvcc fails to compile because there is a stray "-I"

This allows individual users or Linux distributions to specify a directory
Cycles will automatically look for the OptiX include folder, to compile kernels
at runtime.
It is still possible to override this with the OPTIX_ROOT_DIR environment
variable at runtime.
Based on patch by Sebastian Parborg.

This patch causes the render buffers to be copied to the denoiser
device only once before denoising and output/display is then fed
from that single buffer on the denoiser device. That way usually all
but one copy (from all the render devices to the denoiser device)
can be eliminated, provided that the denoiser device is also the
display device (in which case interop is used to update the display).
As such this patch also adds some logic that tries to ensure the
chosen denoiser device is the same as the display device.

This was tested in some places to check if code was being compiled for the
CPU, however this is only defined in the kernel. Checking __KERNEL_GPU__
always works.
* Rename "texture" to "data array". This has not used textures for a long time,
there are just global memory arrays now. (On old CUDA GPUs there was a cache
for textures but not global memory, so we used to put all data in textures.)
* For CUDA and HIP, put globals in KernelParams struct like other devices.
* Drop __ prefix for data array names, no possibility for naming conflict now that
these are in a struct.
Acceleration structures in the viewport default to building with the fast
build flag, but the intersection program used for curves was queried with
the fast trace flag. The resulting mismatch caused an exception in the
intersection kernel. Since it's difficult to predict whether dynamic or static
acceleration structures are going to be built at the time of kernel loading,
this fixes the mismatch by always using the fast trace flag for curves.
Move MNEE to own kernel, separate from shader ray-tracing. This does introduce
the limitation that a shader can't use both MNEE and AO/bevel, but that seems
like the better trade-off for now.
We can experiment with bigger kernel organization changes later.

OptiX 7.4 adds support for splitting the costly creation of an OptiX
module into smaller tasks that can be executed in parallel on a
thread pool.
This is only really relevant for the "shader_raytrace" kernel variant
as the main one is small and compiles fast either way. It sheds of
a few seconds there (total gain is not massive currently, since it is
difficult for the compiler to split up the huge shading entry point
that is the primary one taking up time, but it is still measurable).

Caused by an integer overflow in the tiling utilities of OptiX SDK.
Seems for now it's easier to copy and modify code to our sources so
that we don't need to bump SDK version requirement (which might lead
to an increased driver requirement as well).
There are still some fixes needed from a newer driver to have such
denoising to work properly: Windows requires 511.79, Linux 510.54.
Thanks Patrick for investigation!

There are two things achieved by this change:
- No possible downcast of size_t to int when calculating motion steps.
- Disambiguate call to `min()` which was for some reason considered
ambiguous on 32bit platforms `min(int, unsigned int)`.
- Do the same for the `max()` call to keep them symmetrical.
On an implementation side the `min()` is defined for a fixed width
integer type to disambiguate uint from size_t on 32bit platforms,
and yet be able to use it for 32bit operands on 64bit platforms without
upcast.
This ended up in a bit bigger change as the conditional compile-in of
functions is easiest if the functions is templated. Making the functions
templated required to remove the other source of ambiguity which is
`algorithm.h` which was pulling min/max from std.
Now it is the `math.h` which is the source of truth for min/max.
It was only one place which was relying on `algorithm.h` for these
functions, hence the choice of `math.h` as the safest and least
intrusive.
Fixes 32bit platforms (such as i386) in Debian package build system.

This add support for rendering of the point cloud object in Blender, as a native
geometry type in Cycles that is more memory and time efficient than instancing
sphere meshes. This can be useful for rendering sand, water splashes, particles,
motion graphics, etc.
Points are currently always rendered as spheres, with backface culling. More
shapes are likely to be added later, but this is the most important one and can
be customized with shaders.
For CPU rendering the Embree primitive is used, for GPU there is our own
intersection code. Motion blur is suppored. Volumes inside points are not
currently supported.
Implemented with help from:
* Kévin Dietrich: Alembic procedural integration
* Patrick Mourse: OptiX integration
* Josh Whelchel: update for cycles-x changes

The OptiX denoiser does have an upper limit as to how many pixels it can denoise at once, so
this changes the OptiX denoising process to use tiles for high resolution images.
The OptiX SDK does have an utility function for this purpose, so changes are minor, adjusting
the configured tile size and including enough overlap.

Some enum names were changed/removed in OptiX 7.4, so some changes are necessary to
make things compile still.
In addition, OptiX 7.4 also adds built-in support for catmull-rom curves, so it is no longer
necessary to convert the catmull-rom data to cubic bsplines first, and has endcaps disabled
by default now, so can remove the special handling via any-hit programs that filtered them
out before.

Happens when device runs out of memory and Cycles is moving some
textures to the host memory.
The delayed memory free for OptiX BVH was moving data from one
device_memory to another, leaving the original device memory in
an invalid state. This was ruining the allocation map in the CUDA
device which is using pointer to the device_memory.
This change makes it so the memory pointer is stolen from BVH
into the delayed memory free list.
Additionally, forbid copying and moving instances of device_memory
and added sanity checks in the device implementation.

Partially reverts commit rB440a3475b8f5410e5c41bfbed5ce82771b41356f because
"optixDenoiserComputeIntensity" does not currently support input images that are not packed (the
"pixelStrideInBytes" field is not zero). As a result the intensity calculation would take into account
data from other passes in the image, some of which was scaled by the number of samples still and
therefore produce widely incorrect results that then caused artifacts in the denoised image.
Maniphest Tasks: T93029
Adds a pass before denoising that calculates the intensity of the image, which can be
passed into the OptiX denoiser for more optimal results for very dark or very bright images.
In addition this also fixes a crash that sometimes occurred on exit. The OptiX denoiser object
has to be destroyed before the OptiX device context object (since it references that). But in
C++ the destructor function of a class is called before its fields are destructed, so
"~OptiXDevice" was always called before "OptiXDevice::~Denoiser" and therefore
"optixDeviceContextDestroy" was called before "optixDenoiserDestroy", hence the crash.

Adds a workaround for a driver bug in r495 that causes artifacts with OptiX denoising.
`optixDenoiserSetup` is not working properly there when called with a stream other than the
default stream, so use the default stream for now and force synchronization across the entire
context afterwards to ensure the other stream Cycles uses to enqueue the actual denoising
command cannot execute before the denoising setup has finished.

Instead of printing debug flags listing various CPU and GPU settings that
may or may not be used, print when we are using them. This include CPU
kernel types, OptiX debugging and CUDA and HIP adaptive compilation. BVH
type was already printed.
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the

This triggered a compiler bug where it does not handle the sub.s16 PTX

Also update OptiX device to remove the AO pass direct callable.
Thanks Patrick Mours for figuring this out.
Previously the storage here was optimized to avoid indirections in BVH2
traversal. This helps improve performance a bit, but makes performance
and memory usage of Embree and OptiX BVHs a bit worse also. It also adds
code complexity in other parts of the code.
Now decouple triangle and curve primitive storage from BVH2.
* Reduced peak memory usage on all devices
* Bit better performance for OptiX and Embree
* Bit worse performance for CUDA
* Simplified code:
** Intersection.prim/object now matches ShaderData.prim/object
** No more offset manipulation for mesh displacement before a BVH is built
** Remove primitive packing code and flags for Embree and OptiX
** Curve segments are now stored in a KernelCurve struct
* Also happens to fix a bug in baking with incorrect prim/object
