In T93382, the problem was that the Blender-side rendering code was
still generating the subsurface passes because the old render pass
flags were set, even though Cycles doesn't generate them anymore.
After a closer look, it turns out that the entire hardcoded pass
creation code can be removed. We already have an Engine API function
to query the list of render passes from the engine, so we might as
well just call that and create the returned passes.
Turns out that Eevee already did this anyways. On the Cycles side, it
allows to deduplicate a lot of `BlenderSync::sync_render_passes`.
Before, passes were defined in engine.py and in sync.cpp. Now, all
passes that engine.py returns are created automatically, so sync.cpp
only needs to handle a few special cases.
I'm not really concerned about affecting external renderer addons,
since they already needed to handle the old "builtin passes" in
their Engine API implementation anyways to make them show up in the
compositor. So, unless they missed that for like 10 releases, they
should not notice any difference.

The external cancel callback destroyed the data source but didn't
clear the pointer. While this didn't cause problems,
avoid keeping references freed pointers.
Known Issues:
- Command buffer failures when using binary archives (binary archives is disabled for Intel GPUs as a workaround)
- Wrong texture sampler being applied (to be addressed in the future)

Previously, a first build using ninja would throw "ninja: error:
'intern/cycles/kernel/cycles_kernel_oneapi.lib', needed by
'bin/blender.exe', missing and no known rule to make it".
MSVC Tools version doesn't match MSVC Redist version on some systems and
it's not populated when using Ninja outside of Visual Studio shell,
trying another way.
Add command line argument to switch gpu backend. Add `--gpu-backend` option to
override the gpu backend selected by Blender.
Values for this option that will be available in releases for now are:
* opengl: Force blender to select OpenGL backend.
During development and depending on compile options additional values can exist:
* metal: Force Blender to select Metal backend.
When this option isn't provided the internal logic for GPU backend selection will be used.
Note that this is at the time of writing the same as always selecting the opengl backend.

Smooth & discrete scrolling may both be set, instead of always
prioritizing discrete, use discrete scrolling when the source is a
mouse wheel, otherwise prioritize smooth scrolling.
These events are interpreted as MOUSEPAN by Blender.
Tested with a Wacom Intuos5. This isn't full touch support
which is needed to support gestures such as Swipe, Rotate .. etc.
Previously this was only available as a build options, making it
difficult to get user feedback when NDOF events didn't work as expected.
Now logging can be enabled with:
blender --log "ghost.ndof.*" --log-level 2 --log-show-basename

- Use `_` suffix for private members.
- Use `wl_` prefix for Wayland native types to help distinguish
them from local types.
- Replace single character names `d` & `w` with `display` `window`.
- Rename `selection` to `clipboard`. Using the primary selection as a
clipboard is a separate and as yet unsupported feature.
These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
Using varargs had the disadvantages, replace with a macro which has
some advantages.
- Arguments are type checked.
- Less verbose.
- Unintended NULL arguments would silently terminate joining paths.
- Passing in a NULL argument warns with GCC.
This was a floating point precision issue - or, to be more precise,
an issue with how Cycles split floats into the integer and fractional
parts for Perlin noise.
For coordinates below -2^24, the integer could be wrong, leading to
the fractional part being outside of 0-1 range, which breaks all sorts
of other things. 2^24 sounds like a lot, but due to how the detail
octaves work, it's not that hard to reach when combined with a large
scale.
Since this code is originally based on OSL, I checked if they changed
it in the meantime, and sure enough, there's a fix for it:
https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio/commit/5c9dc68391e9
So, this basically just ports over that change to Cycles.
The original code mentions being faster, but as pointed out in the
linked commit, the performance impact is actually irrelevant.
I also checked in a simple scene with eight Noise textures at
detail 15 (with >90% of render time being spent on the noise), and
the render time went from 13.06sec to 13.05sec. So, yeah, no issue.
Test kernel will now test functionalities related to kernel execution
with USM memory allocations instead of with SYCL buffers and accessors
as these aren't currently used in the backend.
This change removes CMake code for automatic calculation of the number
of offline device compiler instances, to hand over control to developers
instead as it incurs a rather large memory usage with around 8GB per
instance at peak.
Use SYCL_OFFLINE_COMPILER_PARALLEL_JOBS CMake variable to configure it.
Currently Cycles uses zero as a default radius when no "radius"
attribute exists. This is more confusing than helpful. Instead,
use the same default radius as EEVEE and Workbench.
This patch enables MNEE on macOS >= 13. There was an inefficiency in the calculation of spill requirements, fixed as of macOS 13. This patch also adds a temporary inlining workaround for a Metal compiler bug which causes `mnee_compute_constraint_derivatives` to behave incorrectly.

- Unload Wayland libraries when Wayland fails to load.
For some compiler and linker configurations, linking would fail as the
wayland libs were linked at a high level and not at the actual code
where they were needed.
After talking to Campbell, we decided to clean up this part and now
only link both the X11 and Wayland libs where they are used.
