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.
Let's just forward-declare struct wlr_backend instead.
We need to fixup the Vulkan renderer: it needs makedev(), which
got included by chance via <wlr/backend.h> → <wlr/backend/session.h>
→ <libudev.h>.
We'll use this function from wlr_shm too.
Add some assertions, use int32_t (since the wire protocol uses that,
and we don't want to use 16-bit integers on exotic systems) and
switch the stride check to be overflow-safe.
Call glGetGraphicsResetStatusKHR in wlr_renderer_begin to figure
out when a GPU reset occurs. Destroy the renderer when this
happens (the OpenGL context is defunct).
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.
`modifiers` and `external_only` are never initialized, and free'd later. This
commit explicitly initializes them to NULL to prevent segfaults on `free()`
It's not safe to destroy any resources which might still be in-use
by the GPU. Wait for any asynchronous tasks to complete before
destroying everything.
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.

If NULL is returned by vkGetDeviceProcAddr(), either the driver
is buggy, either the wlroots code is buggy. For a valid device and
command name, drivers are not allowed to return NULL per the spec.
This mirrors what the GLES2 renderer does in load_gl_proc().
Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_* functions to allow get the VkInstance,
VkPhysicalDevice, VkDevice, queue family of a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_current_image_attribs function to allow get
the VkImage of current renderer buffer to use on compositors.
Added wlr_renderer_is_vk function, it's like the wlr_renderer_is_gles2,
returns true if the wlr_renderer is a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_image_get_attribs function to get a VkImage and it's
extras information (e.g. a VkImageLayout and VkImageFormat of the
VkImage) from a wlr_texture.
Instead of filling the fields one by one, use a struct initializer.
This avoids repeating the name of the variable and is more
consistent with the wlroots code style.
find_extensions() is clunky to use when checking only a single
extension, and it's surprising that it returns NULL on success.
Simplify by replacing it with a check_extension() function which
just checks whether a single extension is in the list.
Instead of having a C file with strings for each shader, move each
shader into its own file. Use a small POSIX shell script to convert
the files into C strings (can't wait for C23 #embed...).
The benefits from this are:
- Improved readability and syntax highlighting.
- Line numbers in shader compiler errors are easier to make sense of.
- Consistency with the Vulkan renderer.
- Shaders will become more complicated as we add color management
features.
