This was required for OSL, which used to be compiled entirely without
RTTI for LLVM. However OSL now only compiles a private part of its code
without RTTI, so this no longer necessary.

The NanoVDB headers are not compatible with Metal due to missing address
space qualifiers. We currently have a big patch for NanoVDB header
files, which is difficult to update for OpenVDB 11. Instead extract a
few hundred lines of code from NanoVDB to do just what we need.

This makes the GPU tricubic implementation more efficient. The dense
grid code implemented this in terms of trilinear lookups that are
hardware accelerated, but for NanoVDB this just causes unnecessary voxel
reads. Instead match the CPU code.

While this code is suspect, better to go back to the old state for now,
as there is no simple fix that doesn't introduce other issues.

This reverts commit 063a9e8964.
The side effect which wasn't that obvious from the documentation
is that tasks in the console pool are executed sequentially. This
made the compile-gpu step to take a long time, because the parallel
compilation got disabled.
That was unintended change, so reverting the change.
Instead, for the buildbot, increase the time limit for the step.
This reverts commit 4b891b4afe.
OpenImageDenoise V2 comes with GPU support for various backends. This adds a new class, OIDNDenoiserGPU, in order to add this functionality into the existing Cycles post processing pipeline without having to change it much. OptiX and OIDN CPU denoising remain as they are. Rendering on a supported Intel GPU will automatically select the GPU denoiser.
Device support is initially limited to the oneAPI devices that are supported by Cycles, but can be extended.

This path merges the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes into a single
combined Noise Texture node. The reasoning is that both nodes
intrinsically do the same thing, which is the layering of Perlin noise
derivatives to produce fractal noise. So the patch de-duplicates code
and unifies the use of fractal noise for the end use.
Since the Noise node had a Distortion input and a Color output, while
the Musgrave node did not, those are now available to the Musgrave types
as new functionalities.
The Dimension input of the Musgrave node is analogous to the Roughness
input of the Noise node, so both inputs were unified to follow the same
behavior of the Roughness input, which is arguable more intuitive to
control. Similarly, the Detail input was slightly different across both
nodes, since the Noise node evaluated one extra layer of noise. This was
also unified to follow the behavior of the Noise node.
The patch, coincidentally fixes an unreported bug causing repeated
output for certain noise types and another floating precision bug
#112180.
The versioning code implemented with this patch ensures backward
compatibility for both the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes. When
opening older Blender files in Blender 4.1 the output of both nodes are
guaranteed to always be exactly identical to that of Blender files
created before the nodes were merged in all cases.
Forward compatibility with Blender 4.0 is implemented by #114236.
Forward compatibility with Blender 3.6 LTS is implemented by #115015.

The first problem was triangles with motion blur were all grouped into
one category without separating the ones with and without triangle
motion steps.
The second problem was HIP RT uses the generic motion triangle
intersection function and this function checks prim_visibility buffer.
HIP RT doesn't provide the buffer per primitive but passes it to HIP RT
core per instance.
The buffer name was changed to prim_visibility from visibility to be
the same as what Cycles uses but when the motion triangle intersection
function is called from HIP RT kernels, the instance id is passed to
the function instead of primitive id.

Done by passing USES_TERMINAL to the add_custom_command().
This allows to see sub-command messages early on, before they
are finished executing.
This should help buildbots to "see" that the kernels are still
being compiled and not kill the build because it did not output
anything in a long time.

Adjust clamping of inputs in the Principled BSDF to avoid errors and
inconsistencies between render engines, while trying to leave as many
inputs as possible unclamped for artisitc purposes.

The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
The previous formula for adjusting Coat Tint intensity resulted
in strong tints and sudden colour changes when using a low coat weight.
This commit fixes these issues by mixing between a white tint (no tint)
and the chosen tint based on the Coat Weight.

The increased amount of BSDF code from Principled BSDF v2 and the
microfacet BSDF led to a big performance regression on Metal and AMD.
We have not been able to find a good workaround for all scenes.
This change disables the Principled Hair BSDF code when it is not used
in the scene. This makes common benchmark scenes faster, but
performance is still bad in scenes that do use it.

Update the OSL script for the "Geometry" node to follow the correct
Tangent code path when working with point clouds.
There should be no functional change for the end user since the correct
code path was already taken by accident.

Cycles implements the "Taming the Shadow Terminator" paper by Matt Jen-Yuan
Chiang to solve shadow terminator issues when a bump map is applied, as well
as similar approach for the glossy reflection to ensure ray does not get
reflected to inside of the object.
This correction term is applied unconditionally, which makes it harder to have
full control over shading via normals for stylistic reasons.
This change exposes this corrective term as an option called "Bump Map
Correction" which is available in the shader settings next to the
"Transparent Shadows".
The reason to make it per-shader rather than per-object is to allow flexibility
of a control: it is possible that an object has multiple shaders attached to it,
and only some of them used for bump mapping. Another, and possibly stronger
reason to have it per-shader is ease of assets control: shader brings settings
which are needed for its proper behavior. So if material at some point
decides to take over normals, artists would not need to update settings on
every asset which uses that material.
The option is enabled by default, so there is no changes for existing setups.

CYCLES_ONEAPI_SPIR64_GEN_DEVICES -> CYCLES_ONEAPI_INTEL_BINARIES_ARCH
so it's more aligned with the name for the other backends, such as
CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES_ARCH.
Update the Glass BSDF to internally use Generalized Schlick fresnel.
This allows for easier expansion of certain features in the future.
There should be no functional change from the users perspective.
