MTLFrameBuffer has been implemented to support creation of RenderCommandEncoders, along with supporting functionality in the Metal Context.
Optimisation stubs for GPU_framebuffer_bind_ext has been added, which enables specific assignment of attachment load-store ops at the bind level, rather than on a framebuffer object as a whole.
Begin and end frame markers are used to encapsulate frame boundaries for explicit workload submission. This is required for explicit APIs where implicit flushing of work does not occur.

Intel iGPU (HD4000) supports OpenGL 4.4 but doesn't support conservative
depth. (GL_ARB_conservative_depth). This change will only check for the
availability of the extension.
It is a know issue that split normals aren't supported when using high
quality normals in the viewport. Some AMD platforms were pushed to use
high quality normals to work around a driver bug where 1010102 texture
formats `GL_INT_2_10_10_10_REV` wasn't uploaded to the GPU.
This change will remove commonly used polaris platforms from the
work-around. This has been tested with a RX480 against the latest AMD
whql drivers (22.5.1). Users need to ensure that they use the latest
drivers that are available on their platform.
Although this change doesn't fix the underlying issue to support edit
normals when high quality normals are enabled. It will not force that
common platforms cannot use a feature as their platform is forced into
using a work-around.
This allows using the Graphic API to copy buffer data.
The GPU module do not expose untyped buffers even if that's what most API
do, so the copy function need to be strongly typed.
Contains GL backend implementation.
GLSL has different max number of ssbo per glsl stage.
This patch checks if the number of compute ssbo blocks matches
our requirements for the GPU Subdiv, before enabling it.
Some platforms allow more ssbo bindings then blocks per stage.

Viewports where cleared explicitly due to compatibility reasons with Intel iGPUs.
This slowed down other platforms as well, this wasn't noticeable on all platforms.
This patch will be more selective when to enable the workaround.
Currently only for iGPUs on Mac + Linux.
The bitwise XOR used to compute the delta (`changed`) might produce NaN and
thus produce undefined behavior when comparing to another float (because of
float promotion).
This commit removes all EEVEE specific code from the `gpu_shader_material*.glsl`
files. It defines a clear interface to evaluate the closure nodes leaving
more flexibility to the render engine.
Some of the long standing workaround are fixed:
- bump mapping support is no longer duplicating a lot of node and is instead
compiled into a function call.
- bump rewiring to Normal socket is no longer needed as we now use a global
`g_data.N` for that.
Closure sampling with upstread weight eval is now supported if the engine needs
it.
This also makes all the material GLSL sources use `GPUSource` for better
debugging experience. The `GPUFunction` parsing now happens in `GPUSource`
creation.
The whole `GPUCodegen` now uses the `ShaderCreateInfo` and is object type
agnostic. Is has also been rewritten in C++.
This patch changes a view behavior for EEVEE:
- Mix shader node factor imput is now clamped.
- Tangent Vector displacement behavior is now matching cycles.
- The chosen BSDF used for SSR might change.
- Hair shading may have very small changes on very large hairs when using hair
polygon stripes.
- ShaderToRGB node will remove any SSR and SSS form a shader.
- SSS radius input now is no longer a scaling factor but defines an average
radius. The SSS kernel "shape" (radii) are still defined by the socket default
values.
Appart from the listed changes no other regressions are expected.
This patch fixes a typo in commit e59f754c16 which incorrectly uses `GPU_TEXTURE_ARRAY` instead of `GPU_FORMAT_COMPRESSED`.
`GPU_FORMAT_COMPRESSED` and `GPU_TEXTURE_ARRAY` both currently evaluate to 16, so this patch does not change anything functionally; however, this patch will prevent issues from arising in the future.

Metal shading language follows the C++ 14 standard and in some cases requires a greater level of explicitness than GLSL. There are also some small language differences:
- Explicit type-casts (C++ requirements)
- Explicit constant values (C++ requirements, e.g. floating point values using 0.0 instead of 0).
- Metal/OpenGL compatibility paths
- GLSL Function prototypes
- Explicit accessors for vector types when sampling textures.

Adding WITH_METAL option to CMAKE to guard compilation for macOS only. Implemented stub METALBackend to mirror GPUBackend interface and added capabilities initialisation, along with API initialisation paths.
Global rendering coordination commands added to backend with GPU_render_begin and GPU_render_end() commands globally wrapping GPU work. This is required for Metal to ensure temporary resources are generated within an NSAutoReleasePool and freed accordingly.

This uses a StorageBuf as the source of indirect dispatch argument.
The user needs to make sure the parameters are in the right order.
There is no support for argument offset for the moment as there is no
need for it. But this might be added in the future.
Note that the indirect buffer is synchronized at the backend level. This is
done for practical reasons and because this feature is almost always used
for GPU driven pipeline.
This is a faster way to clear a buffer instead of reuploading new data.
It is equivalent to `memset` and runs directly on the GPU.
This is better to clear huge buffers and to avoid the sync cost of data upload.
This was getting in the way in multiple instances. Compute shaders dispatch
are still made in the presence of the last bound framebuffer even if they
do not interact with it.
This adds detection of the maximum number of shader storage buffer
bindings that is supported on the current platform. This can be
useful to turn off features that require compute shaders but use
more buffer bindings than available.

Some drivers for legacy platforms seem to have issues with compute
shaders, as revealed by T94936. This disables compute shader for the
known drivers where this issue is present. It is not clear if the issue
is Windows only or not, so this disable them for all operating systems.
See T94936 for a list of configurations where the issue is reproducible
or not.
