Before this change messages of ERROR and above were printed.
This change makes it so LOG(INFO), LOG(WARNING), LOG(ERROR)
and LOG(FATAL) will be printed to the console by default
(without --debug-libmv and --debug-cycles).
On a user level nothing is changed because neither INFO nor
WARNING severity are used in our codebase. For developers this
change allows to use LOG(INFO) to print relevant for debugging
information. Bering able to see WARNING messages is also nice,
since those are not related to debugging, but are about some
detected "bad" state.
After this change the LOG(INFO) is really treated as a printf.
Why not to use printf to begin with? Because it is often more
annoying to print non-scalar types. Why not to use cout? Just
a convenience, so that all type of logging is handled in the
same way. When one is familiar with Glog used in the area, it
is easy to use same utilities during development. Also, it is
easy to change LOG(INFO) to VLOG(2) when development is done
and one wants to keep the log print but make it only appear
when using special verbosity flags.
The initial reason why default severity was set to maximum
possible value is because of misuse of VLOG with verbosity
level 0, which is the same as LOG(INFO). This is also why
back in the days --debug-libmv was introduced.
Now there is some redundancy between --debug-libmv, --debug-cyles
and --verbose, but changes in their meaning will cause user
level side effects.

Usage of LOG(INFO) actually went against own guidelines in the
logging.h: the INFO is for messages which are to be printed
regardless of debug/verbosity settings.
This issue seems to be caused by the reallocation flag not being set on
the device shader data array so it was never updated on the GPU although
the host memory was modified.
This bumps OSL to 1.11.10.0. OSL Has a new build time
dependency: Clang, and more importantly it expects
clang and llvm to share a library folder, which it
previously for us did not.
This patch changes:
-OSL Update to 1.11.10.0
-refactor the llvm/clang/clang-tools-extra builds into the llvm
build using the llvm-project tarball for building that has all
of the subprojects in it.
-update ispc/openmp builds since clang no longer its own dependency
and they have to depend on the llvm build now.
-Update the windows builder to use the 64 bit host tools since it
ran out of ram linking clang
-Since OSL now needs clang to link successfully a findclang.cmake
has been provided for linux/OSX

m_tabletInRange is no longer set for Wintab after 2e81f2c01a
reverted Wintab changes. This reverts most button processing to
behavior present in 2.91.2.
Left in place is a bugfix for Windows Ink: button events while a
Windows Ink pen is in range should still be processed. Events processed
by Windows Ink and not passed to DefWindowProc do not create WM_*BUTTON
events, but button events from e.g. tablet pad express keys do create
WM_*BUTTON events and should be handled.
Windows mouse history function GetMouesMovePointsEx has well documented
bugs where it receives and returns 32 bit screen coordinates, but
internally truncates to unsigned 16 bits. For mouse (relative position)
input this is not a problem as motion events and the resulting screen
coordinates reliably fit within 16 bit precision.
For tablets (absolute position) the 16 bit truncation results in
corrupt history when tablet drivers use mouse_event or SendInput from
the Windows API to move the mouse cursor. Both of these functions take
absolute mouse position as singed 32 bit value on the range of 0-65535
(or 0x0-0xFFFF) inclusive. Values larger than 0x7FFF (the largest
signed 16 bit value) are reliably corrupt when retrieved from
GetMouesMovePointsEx history. This is true regardless of whether mouse
history is retrieved using display resolution (GMMP_USE_DISPLAY_POINTS)
or high resolution points (GMMP_USE_HIGH_RESOLUTION_POINTS), the latter
of which should return points in range 0-65535.

There are cases where the default input passes of color+albedo do not yield useful results
and while this was possible to change that for final frame rendering (in the layer settings),
viewport denoising always used a fixed color+albedo. This adds an option to change the
input passes for viewport denoising too, so that one can use it in scenes that otherwise
wouldn't work well with it.

* For macOS sse2neon.h is included as part of the precompiled libraries.
* For Linux it is enabled if the sse2neon.h header file is detected. However
this library does not have official releases and is not shipped with any Linux

This patch has originally been written by Kévin Dietrich, thanks!
It is part of D10210.
As Brecht noted in D10210, this might not handle all cases yet.
I better solution should come soonish.
Windows Ghost cursor movement was previously changed to use SendInput
because SetCursorPos sporadically allows the cursor to escape the
window. This is now reverted because SendInput causes mouse history via
GetMouseMovePointsEx to contain invalid movement history, likely due to
interaction with mouse acceleration. This resulted in popups closing
when the cursor appeared to leave their range.
This revert removes handling of cursor move and button press events
during Wintab's WT_PACKET event, instead storing pressure and tilt
information to be combined with Window's WM_MOUSEMOVE events.
This also reverts dynamic enabling and disabling of Wintab, dependent
on the chosen Tablet API. If the Tablet API is not explictly Windows
Ink during startup, Wintab is loaded and enabled.
Left in place is a fallback to Windows Ink when the Tablet API is set
to Automatic and no Wintab devices are present. This allows devices
with Wintab installed but not active to fallback to Windows Ink.
Using position provided by Wintab was found to have too many
regressions to include in Blender 2.93. The primary source of
regressions was tablets which mapped coordinates incorrectly on multi-
monitor and scaled displays. This resulted in an offset between what
the driver controlled Win32 cursor position and the Wintab reported
position. A special case of this included tablets set to mouse mode,
where Wintab reported absolute position while the system cursor moved
as a relative mouse with mouse acceleration.
This required using a fork of Embree, newer LLVM version, unreleased ISPC
version and sse2neon directly from Git. Hopefully over time all the required
changes end up in official releases. For now we deviate from other platforms.

Cycles has supported path-traced subsurface scattering for a while, but while it's
more accurate than other approaches, the increase in noise makes it an expensive option.
To improve this, this patch implements Dwivedi guiding, a technique that is based on
zero-variance random walk theory from particle physics and helps to produce shorter
random walks with more consistent throughput.
The idea behind this is that in non-white materials, each scattering event inside the
medium reduces the path throughput. Therefore, the darker the material is, the lower the
contribution of paths that travel far from the origin is.
In order to reduce variance, Dwivedi guiding uses modified direction and distance sampling
functions that favor paths which go back towards the medium interface.
By carefully selecting these sampling distributions, variance can be greatly reduced, and
as a neat side effect shorter paths are produced, which speeds up the process.
One limitation of just blindly applying this is that the guiding is derived from the
assumption of a medium that covers an infinite half-space. Therefore, at corners or thin
geometry where this does not hold, the algorithm might lead to fireflies.
To avoid this, the implementation here uses MIS to combine the classic and guided sampling.
Since each of those works on one of the three color channels, the final estimator combines
six sampling techniques. This results in some unintuitive math, but I tried to structure
it in a way that makes some sense.
Another improvement is that in areas where the other side of the mesh is close (e.g. ears),
the algorithm has a chance to switch to guiding towards the other side. This chance is based
on how deep the random walk is inside the object, and once again MIS is applied to the
decision, giving a total of nine techniques.
Combining all this, the noise of path-traced subsurface scattering is reduced significantly.
In my testing with the Rain character model and a simple lighting setup, the path-traced
SSS is now actually less noisy than the Christensen-Burley approximation at same render time
while of course still being significantly more realistic.
