The check to see if newly requested attributes are not already in the
cache was not taking into account the possibility that we do not have
new requested attributes (`num_requests == 0`). In this case, if
`attr_used` already had attributes, but `attr_requested` is empty, we
would consider the cache as dirty, and needlessly rebuild the attribute
VBOs.
These features are complicated to support on GPU and hardly compatible
with subdivision in the first place. In the future, with T68891 and
T68893, subdivision and custom smooth shading will be separate workflows.
For now, and to better prepare for this future (although long term
plan), we should discourage workflows mixing subdivision and custom
smooth normals, and as such, this disables GPU subdivision when
autosmoothing or custom split normals are used.
This also adds a message in the modifier's UI to indicate that GPU
subdivision will be disabled if autosmooth or custom split normals are
used on the mesh.

The issue has two causes: on one hand origin indices were not handled
properly, on the other hand the extraction type (Mesh, BMesh, or mapped)
was not detected correctly.
For the second case reuse the MeshRenderData creation from the coarse
code path so that we make the same decisions. Loose geometry extraction
had to be updated to properly handle the BMesh cases.
For the origin indices, in some cases (for edges and faces), the arrays
used by the subdivision code already have the origin indices baked into
them, so mapping them a second time through the origin index layer is
wrong, and could cause out of bounds accesses.
For vertices especially, we would use two arrays: one for mapping
subdivision vertices to coarse vertices, and another one to map coarse
vertices to subdivision loops used for the selection index buffer. The
second one is now removed (which saves a bit of memory) as it is did not
have the proper data setup for use with the origin indices and we can
easily compute it using the first array anyway.

This commit adds infrastructure for 8 bit signed integer attributes.
This can be useful given the discussion in T94193, where we want to
store spline type, Bezier handle type, and other small enums as
attributes.
This is only exposed in the interface in the attribute lists, so it
shouldn't be an option in geometry nodes, at least for now.
I expect that this type won't be used directly very often, it
should mostly be cast to an enum type. However, with support
for 8 bit integers, it also makes sense to add things like mixing
implementations for consistency.

The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing
other evaluated IDs such as materials.
It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be
re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing
bugs like
T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render
The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in
the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following:
- It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report.
- Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh
is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level.
This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with
an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before
the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all
objects which share the mesh).
There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to
allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows
with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored
by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW
operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are
not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in
the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph.
There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes:
should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption.
Tested scenarios:
- Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the
same scene.
- Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359
This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.

This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).

This reverts commit 03013d19d1.
This commit broke the windows build pretty badly and I don't
feel confident landing the fix for this without review.
Will post a possible fix in D12969 and we'll take it from there.
This adds generic attribute rendering support for meshes for Eevee and
Workbench. Each attribute is stored inside of the `MeshBufferList` as a
separate VBO, with a maximum of `GPU_MAX_ATTR` VBOs for consistency with
the GPU shader compilation code.
Since `DRW_MeshCDMask` is not general enough, attribute requests are
stored in new `DRW_AttributeRequest` structures inside of a convenient
`DRW_MeshAttributes` structure. The latter is used in a similar manner
as `DRW_MeshCDMask`, with the `MeshBatchCache` keeping track of needed,
used, and used-over-time attributes. Again, `GPU_MAX_ATTR` is used in
`DRW_MeshAttributes` to prevent too many attributes being used.
To ensure thread-safety when updating the used attributes list, a mutex
is added to the Mesh runtime. This mutex will also be used in the future
for other things when other part of the rendre pre-processing are multi-threaded.
`GPU_BATCH_VBO_MAX_LEN` was increased to 16 in order to accommodate for
this design.
Since `CD_PROP_COLOR` are a valid attribute type, sculpt vertex colors
are now handled using this system to avoid to complicate things. In the
future regular vertex colors will also use this. From this change, bit
operations for DRW_MeshCDMask are now using uint32_t (to match the
representation now used by the compiler).
Due to the difference in behavior for implicit type conversion for scalar types
between OpenGL and what users expect (a scalar `s` is converted to
`vec4(s, 0, 0, 1)` by OpenGL, vs. `vec4(s, s, s, 1)` in Blender's various node graphs) ,
all scalar types are using a float3 internally for now, which increases memory usage.
This will be resolved during or after the EEVEE rewrite as properly handling
this involves much deeper changes.

`MeshBufferCache` is a struct representing a list of buffers.
As such, `GPUIndexBuf **tris_per_mat` is out of place as it does not
represent one of the buffers in the list.
In fact this member should be close to `GPUBatch **surface_per_mat` as
they are related.

The `ibo.tris` extraction in multithread is currently only done if the
mesh has only 1 material.
Now we cache a map indicating the index of each polygon after sort and
thus allow the extraction of tris with materials in multithreaded.
As caching is a heavy operation and was already being performed in
multi-thread for triangle offsets, no significant improvements are
expected.
The benefit will be much greater when we can skip updating the cache
while transforming a geometry.

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

Part of the problem was in traversing the same loop type in different threads. The concurrent access of the BMesh Elements slowed the reading.
This patch simplifies the use of threads by merging all the old callbacks from the extracts into a single series of iteration functions.
The type of extraction can be chosen using flags.

Some discard of vertbuf were not correctly followed by discards of
the GPUBatches that were using them. This lead to a use-after-free
situation where GPUBatches would reuse old VBO information. This did
not crash immediatly because the VBO indices were cached by our VAO
caching system. It kept working on some implementation because VBO
reference in the VAO (probably) preventing the VBO from being freed
by reference counting.

Before this change, you could have the new sculpt symmetry code and the
older weight paint symmetry code active at the same time. This would
lead to users easily trashing their weigh paint data if they were not
careful when switching between modes.
Now the specific weight paint symmetry code is an exclusive toggle so
the user can't accidentally mirror strokes and vertex groups at the same
time. This also paves the way of supporting Y and Z symmetry in the
future for weight groups mirroring if we decide to add it in the future.

Weight Paint Multi-Paint definitely depends on the weight specific

The rest of object_vgroup.c possibly should be changed too, but
that requires more consideration than these obvious cases.
The root cause of this bug is that the function that updates the PBVH
normals is drw_sculpt_generate_calls. As now both the overlays and
mesh can be drawn without using pbvh drawing, the normals were not
updating. This patch forces a normals updates also in the no PBVH
drawing code path of the overlays. This was affecting both shading and
sculpt surface sampling in both flat and smooth shading modes.
Having the sculpt normals being updated by the drawing code is a wrong
design which also causes other issues like:
Brushes that sample the surface and do multiple stroke steps between
redraws will sample invalid normals, creating artifacts during the
stroke clearly visible in some brushes.
Brushes that do not need to sample the surface update the normals on
each redraw. This affects performance a lot as in some cases, updating the
normals takes more time than doing the brush deformation. If flat shading
is being used, this is only necessary to do once after the stroke ends.

Issue caused by {9582797d4b50} in b2.90. The surface per material used
an index buffer owned by the batch. These index buffers are created at
the same time the surface tris index buffer was created. When a material
per batch buffer was invalidated it used the surface tris index buffer
rendering all materials on all surfaces making the last draw command
render succeed.
This patch stores the surface tris per material in the cache so they can
be reused. There is also no need to use the `saved_elem_ranges` anymore as they are
now part of the cache.
The ugly bit of the implementation is that in `extract_tris_finish` the
MeshBufferCache is retrieved. But as this part was already documented as
a hack and it is something that is only used for final meshes. Other
solutions would impact performance or made the fix not condensed
