This change makes it possible to support both the direct srgb-format
pipeline and indirect (color-managed, or non-srgb-format) pipeline
for the same render buffer.
Instead of having separate getters for shm formats and DMA-BUF
formats, use the same pattern as wlr_output_impl.get_primary_formats
with a single function which takes buffer caps as input.
This is the last of a set of commits which ensures that both textures
and render buffers can be accessed through _UNORM and _SRGB image
views. While _UNORM image views are not yet used for 8-bpc image
formats, they will be needed in the future to support color transforms
for both textures and render buffers.
This will become necessary when we switch away from scissoring. For the
time being, this cleans things up a bit and allows for a trivial
blending implementation for textures when that comes.
This is implemented by a two-subpass rendering scheme; the first
subpass draws (and blends) onto a linear R16G16B16A16_SFLOAT buffer,
while the second subpass performs linear->srgb conversion, writing
onto the actual output buffer.
The Vulkan spec doesn't guarantee that the driver will wait for
implicitly synchronized client buffers before texturing from them.
radv happens to perform the wait, but anv doesn't.
Fix this by extracting implicit fences from DMA-BUFs, importing
them into Vulkan as a VkSemaphore objects, and make the render pass
wait on these VkSemaphores.
struct wlr_vk_format_props contains a mix of properties for shm
and dmabuf, and it's not immediately clear which fields are for
which kind of buffer. Use a nested struct to group the fields.
Right now the Vulkan renderer blocks until the frame is complete
after rendering. This is necessary because Vulkan doesn't
interoperate well with implicit sync we use everywhere else.
Use the new kernel API to import a sync_file into a DMA-BUF to
avoid blocking.
We need to wait for the pending command buffer to complete before
re-using stage buffers. Otherwise we'll overwrite the stage buffer
with new contents before the texture is fully uploaded.
We need to wait for any pending command buffer to complete before
we're able to fully destroy a struct wlr_vk_texture: the Vulkan
spec requires the VkDescriptorSet to be kept alive.
So far we've done this in vulkan_end(), after blocking until the
command buffer completes. We'll soon stop blocking, so move this
logic in get_command_buffer(), where we check which commands buffers
have completed in a non-blocking fashion.
vkCmdCopyBufferToImage requires that the buffer offset be a multiple
of the texel block size, which for single plane uncompressed formats
is the same as the number of bytes per pixel. This commit adds an
alignment parameter to vulkan_get_stage_span which ensures that the
provided span (and the sequence of image copy operations derived which
use it) have this alignment.
Allow to get whether has alpha channel of the VkImage, it can help an
optimization to disable blending when the texture doesn't have alpha.
Because the VkFormat isn't enough because it's always set to
VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_SRGB or VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB.
Before re-using a VkCommandBuffer, we need to wait for its
operations to complete. Right now we unconditionally wait for
rendering to complete in vulkan_end(), however we have plans to
fix this [1]. To fully avoid blocking, we need to handle multiple
command buffers in flight at the same time (e.g. for multi-output,
or for rendering followed by texture uploads).
Implement a pool of command buffers. When we need to render, we
pick a command buffer from the pool which has completed its
operations. If we don't find one, try to allocate a new command
buffer. If we don't have slots in the pool anymore, block like we
did before.

Up until now we were using a VkFence for GPU-to-CPU
synchronization. This has some limitations that become a blocker
when trying to have multiple command buffers in flight at once
(e.g. for multi-output). It's desirable to implement a command
buffer pool [1], but VkFence cannot be used to track command buffer
completion for individual subpasses.
Let's just switch to timeline semaphores [2], which fix this issue,
make synchronization a lot more ergonomic and are a core Vulkan 1.2
feature.

In wlroots we add comments near struct wl_list members to indicate
which type it's linked to. The Vulkan renderer had some comments
with mistakes, and some members without a comment.
