This patch fixes an undefined behaviour where we were trying to use linked functions with binary archives. This isn't supported yet. At best this will fail silently, but this is not guaranteed in future. To fix this we simply disable binary archives if any linked functions are involved. The impact of this is that the `SHADE_SURFACE_RAYTRACE` and `SHADE_SURFACE_MNEE` kernels will fall back to the file system cache when MetalRT is enabled. The file system cache will occasionally be purged due to factors beyond Blender's control.

Only Embree CPU BVH was built in the multi-device case. However, one
Embree GPU BVH is needed per GPU, so we now reuse the same logic as in
the other backends.

Hardware Raytracing wasn't properly disabled or enabled in the
subdevices of the multi-device.
This construct:
foreach ( DeviceInfo &info,
(device.multi_devices.size() != 0 ?
device.multi_devices : vector<DeviceInfo>({device}))
)
was a nice trap - it was giving a copy to iterate on.

xdg_surface_ack_configure must run once the events have been handled
which is not the case configure runs from the event handling thread.
In practice this could lead to glitches resizing windows, although some
flickering on startup remains on KDE which would be good to resolve.
Exiting with multiple overlapping windows (a file selector for e.g.)
reliably crashes.
Closing the windows on exit caused the the keyboard enter handler to be
called with a NULL window surface (wl_surface).
While this doesn't look to be documented anywhere, SDL's code-comments
note this happens when windows have just been closed.
GTK also check surfaces for NULL.
Only make libdecor a hard-requirement for using Wayland in gnome-shell
when X11 is available, as it's possible to disable Xwayland.
This also fixes window-borders not being used in gnome-shell when
WITH_GHOST_X11 is off.
Now it's possible to test Blender under gnome without libdecor by
uninstalling libdecor & running with DISPLAY environment variable
set to an empty string - useful for troubleshooting issues which
could be caused by libdecor.
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.
Area light sampling use special techniques to reduce noise with small
spread angles; the change in sampled area was not taken into
consideration when computing the pdf in MNEE.

After the removal of the Shadow pass this no longer worked. Now it works by
marking the object as a shadow catcher and returning the Shadow Catcher pass.
The result is different than before, since it also takes into account indirect
light now and uses a different method to weight the contribution of lights that
is adaptive to the light strength.
This PR enabled the swapchain to be used with AMD GPUs.
The issue is that we had to separate the swapchain into
2 functions and therefore the rendering is also not
controlled at the same time.
Semaphores were finished, before being used and the
driver stalled when waiting for those Semaphores.
This doesn't solve the issue that renderdoc can still
crash the graphics driver.

This PR replaces the previous implementation of the swap chain.
The previous implementation was based on a gaming loop where
inside a single function an image is requested, the drawing occurs
and the requested image is presented on screen.
In blender the drawing isn't controlled in a single function and
this approach lead to freezes, missing frames and other
artifacts.
This approach is not be the final approach but a step into a
direction where the acquiring of the next image in the swap chain
is separated from the swapping.

This will make further changes for light linking easier, where we want to
build multiple trees specialized for each light linking set.
It's also easier to understand than the stack used previously.

For derived mesh triangulation information, currently the three face
corner indices are stored in the same struct as index of the mesh
polygon the triangle is part of. While those pieces of information are
often used together, they often aren't, and combining them prevents
the indices from being used with generic utilities. It also means that
1/3 more memory has to be written when recalculating the triangulation
after deforming the mesh, and that the entire triangle data has to be
read when only the polygon indices are needed.
This commit splits the polygon index into a separate cache on `Mesh`.
The triangulation data isn't saved to files, so this doesn't affect
.blend files at all.
In a simple test deforming a mesh with geometry nodes, the time used
to recalculate the triangulation reduced from 2.0 ms to 1.6 ms,
increasing overall FPS from 14.6 to 15.

Previous GHOST_ContextVK would create a logical device for each
context. Blender uses multiple contexts at the same time and wasn't able
to share resources between them as the logical device where different.
This patch will create a single logical device and share them between
multiple contexts. This allows sharing memory/shaders between contexts
and make sure that all memory allocations are freed from the device it
was allocated from.
Some allocations in Blender are freed when there isn't a context, this
was failing in the previous implementation. We didn't noticed it before
as we didn't test multiple contexts.
This patch also moves device specific data structures from VKContext to
VKDevice like the descriptor pools, debug layers etc.

- Rename name/filename/path to filepath when it's used for full paths.
- Rename name/path to dirpath when it refers to a directory.
- Rename file to filepath or path (when it may be a file or dir).
- Rename ImBuf::name & anim::name to filepath.
In some cases the Geometry Nodes Volume Cube generates
a Volume grid that doesn't contain any leaf nodes. This can happen
when only tiles are needed to represent the volume.
This PR changes the `empty_grid` check function to also check if
there are any active tiles in the grid before returning `true`.

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.

Detecting when to show warnings about GHOST/XKB modifier
mismatches was rather involved, remove the check as it's
unnecessary for Gnome-Shell >= v43.
Older versions of Gnome-Shell will show warnings on window activation
with modifier keys held.
Reading modifiers from XKB caused a complications in getModifierKeys(..)
when called on a window that was activated, before the keyboard enter
handler had run - because the keys held by GHOST had not yet been
updated by XKB. This caused a problem which Gnome-shell which runs
the keyboard-enter handler after window activation.
This change would have fixed the Super key being stuck, see: #107314.
Keep the previous fix since in the unlikely case GHOST & XKB get out of
sync, stuck modifier keys should still be prevented.
This change means the warning for GHOST & XKB getting out of sync
can be enabled for Gnome-shell again, as it was previously suppressed
as it happened frequently on window activation.
There were two issues here preventing the proper display of the IES
files in question.
The primary one was that these lights are actually vertical. Their
profiles actually point upwards from 90deg to 180deg but our parser was
trying hard to adjust it to start at 0deg incorrectly.
Lastly, the files in question ended with the parser in the `eof`
state - they are "missing" the final carriage return that other IES
files tend to have but other viewers don't seem to mind. Change the
`eof` check instead for a better one that will indicate if any parsing
errors occurred along the way.
