Current index builder is designed to be used in a single thread.
This makes all index buffer extractions single threaded.
This patch adds a thread safe solution enabling multithreaded
building of index buffers.
To reduce locking the solution would provide a task/thread local
index buffer builder (called sub builder).
When a thread is finished this thread local index buffer builder
can be joined with the initial index buffer builder.
`GPU_indexbuf_subbuilder_init`: Initialized a sub builder. The
index list is shared between the parent and sub buffer, but the
counters are localized. Ensuring that updating counters would
not need any locking.
`GPU_indexbuf_subbuilder_finish`: merge the information of the
sub builder back to the parent builder. Needs to be invoked outside
the worker thread, or when sure that all worker threads have been
finished. Internal the function is not thread safe.
For testing purposes the extract_points extractor has been migrated to
the new API. Herefore changes to the mesh extractor were needed.
* When creating tasks, the task number of current task is stored in
ExtractTaskData including the total number of tasks.
* Adding two functions in `MeshExtract`.
** `task_init` will initialize the task specific userdata.
** `task_finish` should merge back the task specific userdata back.
* adding task_id parameter to the iteration functions so they can
access the correct task data without any need for locking.
There is no noticeable change in end user performance.

This implements T87633
This overlay renders a flash animation on the target object when
transfering the mode to it using the mode transfer operator.
This provides visual feedback when switching between objects without
extra overlays that affect the general color and lighting in the scene.
Differences with the design task:
- This uses just a fade out animation instead of a fade in/out animation.
The code is ready for fade in/out, but as the rest of the overlays
(face sets, masks...) change instantly without animation, having a fade
in/out effect gives the impression that the object flashes twice (once
for the face sets, twice for the peak alpha of the flash animation).
- The rendering uses a flat color without fresnel for now, but this can
be improved in the future to make it look more like the shader in the
prototype.
- Not enabled by default (can be enabled in the overlays panel), maybe
the defaults can change for 3.0 to disable fade inactive and enable this
instead.

EEVEE uses hashing to sync aov names and types with the gpu.
For the type a hashed value was overridden making `decalA`
and `decalB` choose the same hash. This patches fixes this
by removing the most significant bit.

draw_cache_extract_mesh for task scheduling. Will be refactored to draw_cache_extract_mesh_scheduling later on after migrating to CPP.
draw_cache_extract_mesh_render_data extraction of mesh render data from edit mesh/mesh into a more generic structure.
draw_cache_extract_mesh_extractors containing all the extractors. This will be split up further into a single file per extractor.
This patch replaces / redoes the entire MeshExtractors system.
Although they were useful and facilitated the addition of new buffers, they made it difficult to control the threads and added a lot of threading overhead.
Part of the problem was in traversing the same loop type in different threads. The concurrent access of the BMesh Elements slowed the reading.
This patch simplifies the use of threads by merging all the old callbacks from the extracts into a single series of iteration functions.
The type of extraction can be chosen using flags.
This optimized the process by around 34%.

Reuse loose geometry during selection (and other operations) from
previous calculation. Loose geometry stays the same, but was
recalculated to determine the size of GPU buffers. This patch would
reuse the previous loose geometry when geometry wasn't changed.
Although not the main bottleneck during selection it is measurable.

When using ``Path`` alignment, if the stroke has one point the texture rotates randomly when move the viewport. This was because with one point is impossible to calculate a path.
Now, if the stroke has only one point, the texture for this stroke is aligned to Object.
This patch will use compute shaders to create the VBO for hair.
The previous implementation uses transform feedback.
Timings before: between 0.000069s and 0.000362s.
Timings after: between 0.000032s and 0.000092s.
Speedup isn't noticeable by end-users. The patch is used to test
the new compute shader pipeline and integrate it with the draw
manager. Allowing EEVEE, Workbench and other draw engines to
use compute shaders with the introduction of `DRW_shgroup_call_compute`
and `DRW_shgroup_vertex_buffer`.
Future improvements are possible by generating the index buffer
of hair directly on the GPU.
NOTE: that compute shaders aren't supported by Apple and still use
the transform feedback workaround.

Both before and after can have artifacts with some normal maps, but this seems to give
worse artifacts on average which are not worth the minor performance increase.
This reverts commit 5c4d24e1fd.
Ref T88368, D10084
This patch adds relatively small changes to the curve draw
cache implementation in order to draw the curve data in the
viewport. The dependency graph iterator is also modified
so that it iterates over the curve geometry component, which
is presented to users as `Curve` data with a pointer to the
`CurveEval`
The idea with the spline data type in geometry nodes is that
curve data itself is only the control points, and any evaluated
data with faces is a mesh. That is mostly expected elsewhere in
Blender anyway. This means it's only necessary to implement
wire edge drawing of `CurveEval` data.
Adding a `CurveEval` pointer to `Curve` is in line with changes
I'd like to make in the future like using `CurveEval` in more places
such as edit mode.
An alternate solution involves converting the curve wire data
to a mesh, however, that requires copying all of the data, and
since avoiding it is rather simple and is in-line with future plans
anyway, I think doing it this way is better.

Event though in practice this wasn't causing problems as the fixed size
buffers are generally large enough not to truncate text.
Using the result from `snprint` or `BLI_snprintf` to step over a fixed
size buffer allows for buffer overruns as the returned value is the size
needed to copy the entire string, not the number of bytes copied.
Building strings using this convention with multiple calls:
ofs += BLI_snprintf(str + ofs, str_len_max - ofs);
.. caused the size argument to become negative,
wrapping it to a large value when cast to the unsigned argument.
