A recent security update to macOS 10.15.7 causes crashes when using Eevee and
various other 3D viewport features. It appears that glGenerateMipmap is
broken, causing a crash whenever its commands are flushed/submitted to the GPU.
Ideally this would be fixed in a driver update, however it's unlikely this will
happen. Earlier macOS versions have been receiving security updates for 2 years,
and that window has just passed for 10.15. Further, computers with these GPUs
can't upgrade to a newer macOS version.
As a workaround, disable mipmaps on these GPUs, by setting the mipmap max level
to 0 and not calling glGenerateMipmaps. Effects like depth of field also use
mipmaps, but fill in the mip levels by other means. In those cases we keep the
mipmap level.

Some GPU's have support for compute shaders, but don't support
GLSL 4.3. This resulted in compiler errors and crashes.
This issue could have been solved by supporting older GLSL languages but
that would have been a hassle to get it right. We already have a
fallback in place for GPU's that don't support compute shaders at all.
This patch fixes an issue with missing faces when assigning a material slot other than the first to faces on AMD TAHITI cards. Refer to T78390 and T74024 for a description of this issue.
This patch also incorporates fix from T78390 for KAVERI.

AMD Drivers didn't report an additional space in the rendered. This made
testing for the HQ workaround fail and the issue appeared back on
certain cards.
This fix will test with surrounding spaces or if the renderer name
endswith the given string. If any of these are the case the hq normals
workaround will be enabled.
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.

With the compute pipeline calculation can be offloaded to the GPU.
This patch only adds the framework for compute. So no changes for users at
this moment.
NOTE: As this is an OpenGL4.3 feature it must always have a fallback.
Use `GPU_compute_shader_support` to check if compute pipeline can be used.
Check `gpu_shader_compute*` test cases for usage.
This patch also adds support for shader storage buffer objects and device only
vertex/index buffers.
An alternative that had been discussed was adding this to the `GPUBatch`, this
was eventually not chosen as it would lead to more code when used as part of a
shading group. The idea is that we add an `eDRWCommandType` in the near
future.

Linux does not report the driver version. It does report the OpenGL
version. This change will check the OpenGL version to enable the HQ
normal work around.
THe high quality normals work around is enabled for Polaris cards using
the official drivers. Since driver version 2.11.2 they fail to render
using low quality normals.
The detection of polaris cards is done by matching the opengl renderer.
The renderer strings have been extracted from various reports linked to
{T82856} but isn't complete as some reports are missing the exact
renderer as users don't always report via the help menu.
This is a workaround for T80804.
There's a startup crash that happens on 2.91.0 on Windows, an `EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION`
on `atio6axx.dll`. It is triggered by `glClear` on the `detect_mip_render_workaround`
function. The workaround moves the function after the device/driver workaround section and
sets the flag to the affected one to avoid running the check.
It is deprecated hardware that has not meet the minimum requirements since 2.79, but is
still usable and this extends its usability a bit before the cards are finally blacklisted.

Since Blender 2.91 the TeraScale 2 based cards crash during startup.
This patch will show the user a screen that the platform they are using
isn't supported.
The GPUs have been carefully handpicked from dozens of reports. T83124,
T83127, T83103, T83091, T83045, T83065, T82750, T82889, T82925, T82640,
T82429, T82436, T82446.
This wraps the functionality used to speedup EEVEE volumetrics.
This touches the rendering code of EEVEE as it should fix a mis-usage of
the GL barrier. The barrier changed type and location, removing an
unused barrier.
This makes it possible to disable all the extensions when forcing
workarounds.
Also it will allow future options to selectively disable each extension
to know which one is buggy.
This is to improve debugging on older hardware that may not support
4.3 debug capabilities (like Macs).
This avoids sprinkling glGetErrors manually. This might still be needed
to find the root cause since not all functions are covered.
This overrides the functions pointers that GLEW have already init.
This is only enabled if using --debug-gpu option and the debug extension
are not available.
This also cleanup the usage of GLContext::debug_layer_support and use
wrapper to set object labels.
This is part of the Vulkan task T68990.
This commits changes a few things:
- Rename extensions to capabilities (but left the file name untouched).
- Cubemap mip render workaround detection is rewritten using gl
commands to avoid using the GPU API before initialization.
- Put all the capabilities that are only relevant for the GL backend
inside GLContext as static variables.
- Cleanup the names of the limit variables.
- Separate all GL related workaround search inside the GL module.
Part of the vulkan implementation T68990.
Pretty straight forward. Just move the GL code inside the GLBackend and
make the GPUPlatformGlobal a class object.
