The Perlin noise algorithms suffer from precision issues when a coordinate
is greater than about 250000.
To fix this the Perlin noise texture is repeated every 100000 on each axis.
This causes discontinuities every 100000, however at such scales this
usually shouldn't be noticeable.

This uses Spherical Harmonics to store the indirect lighting and
distant lighting visibility.
We can then reuse this information for each closure which divide
the cost of it by 2 or 3 in many cases, doing the scanning once.
The storage cost is higher than previous method, so we split the
resolution scaling to be independant of raytracing.
The spatial filtering has been split to its own pass for performance
reason. Upsampling now only uses 4 bilinearly interpolated samples
(instead of 9) using bilateral weights to avoid bleeding.
This also add a missing dot product (which soften the lighting
around corners) and fixes the blocky artifacts seen at lower
resolution.

The output of the Color Ramp node in the GPU compositor and EEVEE is
slightly off. That's because the factor is evaluated directly at the
sampler without proper half pixel offsets to account for the sampler's
linear interpolation, which this patch adds.

The GPU compositor incorrectly extrapolates values of RGBA curves node.
That's because the code introduces a half-pixel offset to the color
values since they will be used to sample the curve maps. Those same
values are then used for extrapolation, which shouldn't take the
half-pixel value into account.
This patch fixes that by computing sampler coordinate in a separate
step.

This layout is more flexible and polymorphic.
While the worst case is worse (4 + 3 layers),
the common case is more optimized (2 + 2 layers).
The average written closure data is also lower
since we can compact the data for special cases
which are quite frequent.
Some adjustment had to be made in the denoise an
tile classify shaders.

This adds correct object bounds estimation.
This works by creating an occupancy texture where one
bit represents one froxel. A geometry pre-pass fill this
occupancy texture and doesn't do any shading. Each bit
set to 0 will not be considered occupied by the object
volume and will discard the material compute shader for
this froxel.
There is 2 method of computing the occupancy map:
- Atomic XOR: For each fragment we compute the amount of
froxels **center** in-front of it. We then convert that
into occupancy bitmask that we apply to the occupancy
texture using `imageAtomicXor`. This is straight forward
and works well for any manifold geometry.
- Hit List: For each fragment we write the fragment depth
in a list (contained in one array texture). This list
is then processed by a fullscreen pass (see
`eevee_occupancy_convert_frag.glsl`) that sorts and
converts all the hits to the occupancy bits. This
emulate Cycles behavior by considering only back-face
hits as exit events and front-face hits as entry events.
The result stores it to the occupancy texture using
bit-wise `OR` operation to compose it with other non-hit
list objects. This also decouple the hit-list evaluation
complexity from the material evaluation shader.
## Limitations
### Fast
- Non-manifolds geometry objects are rendered incorrectly.
- Non-manifolds geometry objects will affect other objects
in front of them.
### Accurate
- Limited to 16 hits per layer for now.
- Non-manifolds geometry objects will affect other objects
in front of them.

Replaces all usage by the the gpu_shader_math
equivalent. This is because the old shader
library was quite tangled.
This avoids dependency hell trying to
mix libraries.
Changes are split into isolated commits until
I had to do mass changes because of inter-

This add the possibility to create a
orthogonal basis around a given unit
vector.
The name was chosen to match the naming
convention already in place and match
the other matrix construction functions.
In other places (ex: renderers), this same
function is commonly named `make_orthonormal`
or `make_basis`.
The function is not given to have a fixed
implementation and might change overtime.
That's why the test only covers the
assumptions and not the raw values.
The implementation is borrowed from
Cycles and adapted to our math API.

Shadow Map Ray Tracing is a technique that ray cast against the shadow
depth buffer. The technique is described in "Soft Shadows by
Ray Tracing Multilayer Transparent Shadow Maps".
Note that we only implement the single layer approach since storing
multiple depth is prohibitively expensive.

When GLSL sources were first included in Blender they were treated as
data (like blend files) and had no license header.
Since then GLSL has been used for more sophisticated features
(EEVEE & real-time compositing)
where it makes sense to include licensing information.
Add SPDX copyright headers to *.glsl files, matching headers used for
C/C++, also include GLSL files in the license checking script.
As leading C-comments are now stripped,
added binary size of comments is no longer a concern.

Both the `Math` node and the `Vector Math` currently only explicitly
support modulo using truncated division which is oftentimes not the
type of modulo desired as it behaves differently for negative numbers
and positive numbers.
Floored Modulo can be created by either using the `Wrap` operation or
a combination of multiple `Math` nodes. However both methods obfuscate
the actual intend of the artist and the math operation that is actually
used.
This patch adds modulo using floored division to the scalar `Math` node,
explicitly stating the intended math operation and renames the already
existing `"Modulo"` operation to `"Truncated Modulo"` to avoid confusion.
Only the ui name is changed, so this should not break compatibility.

This is a full rewrite of the raytracing denoise pipeline. It uses the
same principle as before but now uses compute shaders for every stages
and a tile base approach. More aggressive filtering is needed since we
are moving towards having no prefiltered screen radiance buffer. Thus
we introduce a temporal denoise and a bilateral denoise stage to the
denoising. These are optionnal and can be disabled.
Note that this patch does not include any tracing part and only samples
the reflection probes. It is focused on denoising only. Tracing will
come in another PR.
The motivation for this is that having hardware raytracing support
means we can't prefilter the radiance in screen space so we have to
have better denoising. Also this means we can have better surface
appearance with support for other BxDF model than GGX. Also GGX support
is improved.
Technically, the new denoising fixes some implementation mistake the
old pipeline did. It separates all 3 stages (spatial, temporal,
bilateral) and use random sampling for all stages hoping to create
a noisy enough (but still stable) output so that the TAA soaks the
remaining noise. However that's not always the case. Depending on the
nature of the scene, the input can be very high frequency and might
create lots of flickering. That why another solution needs to be found
for the higher roughness material as denoising them becomes expensive
and low quality.

In some cases comments at the end of control statements were wrapped
onto new lines which made it read as if they applied to the next line
instead of the (now) previous line.
Relocate comments to the previous line or in some cases the end of the
line (before the brace) to avoid confusion.
Note that in quite a few cases these blocks didn't read well
even before MultiLine was used as comments after the brace caused
wrapping across multiple lines in a way that didn't follow
formatting used everywhere else.
This patch implements the Anti-Aliasing node by porting SMAA from
Workbench into a generic library that can be used by the realtime
compositor and potentially other users. SMAA was encapsulated in an
algorithm to prepare it for use by other nodes that require SMAA
support.

Implement GBuffer prepass and deferred lighting (lights only).
This decouple lighting from the material shaders making them lighter,
less expensive and faster to compile.
Trying to keep a nice data flow so we could potentially use the
subpass programable blending feature on tiled GPU arch.
Not everything is covered yet and #105880 is making the GBuffer layout
a bit awkward and not easily extendable.

These allow the usage of `atomicMin` and `atomicMax` function with float
values as there is no overload for these types in GLSL.
This also allows signed 0 preservation.
- Matrix normalize overloads needs to have the vector normalize redefined.
- double underscore (anywhere in symbol name) are reserved.
- Some operation yield different result due to float imprecision. Increasing
epsilon threshold for the failing tests.
