The multi device code did not correctly handle cases where some GPUs store a
resource in device memory and others store it in host mapped memory.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D6126
Was caused by D6068, which did not handle "MEM_PIXELS" memory
when not in background mode. Before that it always fell back to using
generic device memory, so restoring that behavior. In future this
should be changes to use OpenGL interop for optimal performance.
The OptiX implementation wasn't trying to allocate memory on the host if device allocation failed, while the CUDA implementation did. This copies the implementation over to OptiX to remedy that.

Rendering would produce invalid results or crash if the Vector pass was active but motion blur was inactive. This caused the OptiX BVH to be built with motion (because objects reported motion available), but the pipeline to be built without motion support (since with disabled motion blur this is not in the list of requested features). The two are not compatible and therefore caused issues. This patch fixes that by not building the BVH with motion if motion blur is not active (which makes sense).

Curves with motion blur produced wrong results with OptiX (T69801). This is because the AABBs for the motion steps were calculated from incorrect attribute data because the offset into the attribute data array was incorrect.

The "optix_devices" array was not freed on exit, which caused a memory leak (see T69801).

OpenCL Parallel compilation only works inside Blender. When using cycles in a different setup (standaline or other software) it failed compiling kernels as they don't have the appropriate Python API and command line arguments.
This change introduces a `running_inside_blender` debug flag, that triggers out of process compilation of the kernels. Compilation still happens in subthread that enabled the preview kernels and compilation of the kernels during BVH building

Before there were two options: Paste to original layer called "Paste" and Paste to active layer called "Paste & Merge"
Now, by default the paste is in active layer and the "Paste & Merge" has been renamed "Paste".
For old "Paste", now is called "Paste by Layer" and it's not the default value anymore.

The issue was caused by un-initialized local storage for volume
intersection hits which are supposed to be stored in per-thread
KernelGlobals.
Fix is to make thread_shader() be the same as thread_render() in
respect of KernelGlobals.

We want users to go to the current version for their current version
when possible if not point to latest.
/dev should really only be for development related work. End users
should not be browsing /dev unless they are reading about upcoming
features ahead of time.
When compute preemption is available we schedule more work which is more
efficient. However the CUDA driver appears to be incorrectly reporting this as
unavailable, even though it should be supported starting with Windows 10 1803
and Pascal and Turing (10x0 and 20x0) graphics cards.
This reduces render time by about a 25% difference on our benchmark scenes. On
Linux compute preemption appears to be reported correctly.
Previously, bright edges (e.g. caused by rim lighting) would sometimes get
halos around them after denoising.
This change introduces a log(1+x) highlight compression step that is performed
before denoising and reversed afterwards. That way, the denoising algorithm
itself operates in the compressed space and therefore bright edges cause less
numerical issues.
The kernel does not use AVX2 vectorization, and trying to use BVH8 was
leading to an empty scenes.
Fixes T64624: Ctest : Win32 + AVX2 fails virtually all cycles tests
This adds our own OSL texture handle, that has info for OIIO textures or our
own custom texture types. A filename to handle hash map is used for lookups.
This is efficient because it happens at OSL compile time, because the optimizer
can figure out constant strings and replace them with texture handles.
It's effectively always enabled, only not on some unsupported OpenCL devices.
For testing those it's not useful to disable these features. This is replaced
by the more fine grained feature toggles that we have now.
This version fixes various bugs, and there is no need anymore to use both
9.1 and 10.0 for different cards.
There is a bug related to WITH_CYCLES_CUBIN_COMPILER and bump mapping in the
regression tests, so that remains disabled same as it was for CUDA 10.0.
Fix T59286: CUDA bake failing on some cards.
Fix T56858: CUDA 9.2 and 10 issues.
The main goals of this change is faster starting when using foreground
rendering.
This patch will build kernels in parallel to the update process of
the scene. When these optimized kernels are not available (yet) an AO
kernel will be used.
These AO kernels are fast to compile (3-7 seconds) and can be
reused by all scenes. When the final kernels become available we
will switch to these kernels.
In background mode the AO kernels will not be used.
Some kernels are being used during Scene update (displace, background
light). When these kernels are being used the process can halt until
these become available.

The functions that determine the program name + filename of kernels
were missing some base kernels like denoising and base. For completeness
I added those kernels so the function returns the correct results.
This patch will reduce the number of times that we need to
recompile kernels. It does this by (en/dis)abling features
by default. So when the user needs them that the kernels are
already available.
Other features are enabled by default for background and foreground
rendering. When in background rendering the user wants the best
render performance. When in foreground rendering the user wants
the least amount of recompilations.
Enabling volumetrics or subdivision evaluation will still trigger
a recompilation during foreground rendering.

Part of the cleanup of the OpenCL codebase.
Single program is not effective when using OpenCL, it is slower
to compile and slower during rendering (when used in for example
`barbershop` or `victor`).
