Speckles and missing lights were experienced in scenes with Nishita Sky
Texture and a Sun Size smaller than 1.5°, such as in Lone Monk and Attic
scenes.
We previously worked around these by using a more precise
software implementation of cosine.
After recent changes in Cycles, it turns out this workaround isn't
currently needed.
The API for the kernels library is defined, there is no need to
export more than that. This change only affects linux since hidden
visiblity is the default on Windows.
Use the common BVH utilities header for this.
Added a special type qualifier ccl_ray_data which is defined to ccl_private
for all platforms but Metal. On Metal it is defined to ray_data.
The tricky part is that the BVH utilities are wrapped into the Metal context
class. In some of the BVH functions the context has been already constructed,
but it wasn't done in all the callbacks.
From a quick render tests of the Junkshop benchmark scene there is no render
time difference,
No functional changes are expected.

<algorithm> header include is missing from some sycl headers, this will
be fixed upstream with https://github.com/intel/llvm/pull/10424,
meanwhile, we work around it by including it directly.
NanoVDB headers have unused code using "double" type, which is not supported on Arc GPUs.
Recent DPC++ changes enforced runtime verifications:
7663dc201d
which prevents execution when such type has been present even if unused.
This is a solution to avoid double to be compiled at all, similar as how it is done for Metal.
When running oneAPI with AoT binaries, on hardware that's not compatible with
these, recompilation could have been missing from the kernels loading phase and
happen during execution instead.
These changes fixes it, any kernel compilation will now happen during the
kernels loading phase.
Updated Embree 4 library with GPU support is required for it to be
compiled - compatiblity with Embree 3 and Embree 4 without GPU support
is maintained.
Enabling hardware raytracing is an opt-in user setting for now.

This patch replaces `dispatchThreadgroups` with `dispatchThreads` which takes care of non-uniform threadgroup bounds. This allows us to remove the bounds guards in the integrator kernel entry points.

Also minor changes in comments:
- Reference BLENDER_HISTORY_FILE instead of the literal file-name
(simplifies looking up usage).
- Use usernames in tags, as noted in code-style.

Increasing the precision of cosf fixes it.
This functionality is related only to debugging of SYCL implementation
via single-threaded CPU execution and is disabled by default.
Host device has been deprecated in SYCL 2020 spec and we removed it
in 305b92e05f.
Since this is still very useful for debugging, we're restoring a
similar functionality here through SYCL 2020 Host Task.
This adds a new mirror image extension type for shaders and
geometry nodes (next to the existing repeat, extend and clip
options).
See D16432 for a more detailed explanation of `wrap_mirror`.
This also adds a new sampler flag `GPU_SAMPLER_MIRROR_REPEAT`.
It acts as a modifier to `GPU_SAMPLER_REPEAT`, so any `REPEAT`
flag must be set for the `MIRROR` flag to have an effect.

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.

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.
JIT compilation of oneAPI kernels now happens during load stage
and proper message gets shown in the GUI during compilation.
Also, this implementation skips kernels that aren't needed for
the used scene, reducing overall (re)compilation time.
This is a minimal set of changes, allowing a lot of cleanup that can
happen afterward as it allows sycl method and objects to be used outside
of kernel.cpp.

Windows drivers 101.3430 fix an important GUI-related crash and it's
best to prevent users from running into it.
Linux drivers weren't affected but still had relevant gpu binary
compatibility fixes, so it makes sense to keep the min-supported version
aligned across OSes.
Now explicitly including math.h first before #defining funcitons.
This avoids undefined behavior and improves compatibility with
different SYCL compilers and backends.
sycl/L0 runtime reports compute-runtime version since Intel graphics
driver 101.3268 on Windows, when querying driver version from sycl.
Prior to this driver, it was 0. Now we can bump minimum requirement to
this one and filter-out devices returning 0.
