Issue is a regression since threaded objetc update and caused
by the fact that some objects might share the same proxy object.
It's all fine but object_handle_update() will call update for
a proxy object which screws up threaded update.
The thing is, proxy object is marked as depending on a scene
object and such a call makes it so the children objetc is
being updated.
This is really bad and depsgraph is to take all responsibility
on updating the proxy objects.
So for now used a simple solution (which is safe to backport
to 'a') which is skipping proxy update if the scene update is
threaded and based on the DAG traversal.
There are some still areas which calls object update directly
and for that cases proxy object is still being updated from
object_handle_update().
This is a failure of viewport direct displist creation
caused by existing curve_cache pointer which empty content.
Made it so if the curve isn't evaluated it's curve_cache is NULL.
This is just-another-regression to be ported to the release.
Fluid particles use the particle system's bvhtree structure, which is a
runtime BVH tree. This was not reset properly on copying objects/psys,
which lead to concurrent access in threaded depsgraph updates and memory
corruption.
in threaded depgraph updates and effector list construction.
Gathering effectors during depgraph updates will call the
psys_check_enabled function. This in turn contained a DNA alloc call
for the psys->frand RNG arrays, which is really bad because data must be
immutable during these effector constructions.
To avoid such allocs the frand array is now global for all particle
systems. To avoid correlation of pseudo-random numbers the psys->seed
value is complemented with random offset and multiplier for the actual
float array. This is not ideal, but work sufficiently well (given that
random numbers were already really limited and show repetition quite
easily for particle counts > PSYS_FRAND_COUNT).
It was intended to work actually using particle cache's stack index
but this index might have been calculated incorrect in special case:
* With default cube scene, add particle system to the cube
* Add disk cache to the particle system
* Save file and reload it
* Add another particle system and enable disk cache
This would lead to two point caches with the same stack index of zero.
This happened because point cache indices list wasn't stored in the
.blend file so once you've reload your file blender doesn't know anything
about number or point caches used.
And what was even more confusing is that point cache indices list was
trying to be load from the file, but this failed because it wasn't in the
file.
This commit solves the root of the issue which is ability of producing
.blend file with two point caches using the same disk cache. This is
done by making it sure that point cache indices list is stored in the
.blend file. And also made it so disabling disk cache will tag it to
recalculate stack index.
Old broken files wouldn't magically start working, but fixing them is
rather simple manually by toggling Disk Cache option.

Issue partially caused by own errors (glicth in new BKE_boundbox_ray_hit_check() code causing segfault in volume snapping,
and we have to treat ortho and persp differently in case of face snapping, because in persp our ray_start might very well
already be *inside* the boundbox of the checked object), and partly due to the fact that ED_view3d_win_to_vector()
was returning wrong vector (negated one) for ortho views (see previous commit).
Issue is caused by start point of ray used to detect faces under the mouse is set rather far away in ortho 3dviews.
The loss of precision on the ray location induced by this can lead to face snapping failures.
Solution is to do the raycasting with a temp start point, much closer to the object we check, and add back
to the found distance the diff to the real start point once detection is done (as we need all hit distances
from all tested objects to be relative to a common point!).
Note this commit only addresses the "face snapping on mesh" case, other kind of snapping do not seem to suffer
from this issue.

Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Issue is causes by vertex parent modifies original BMesh from
a multiple threads. Ideally this is to be done as a separate
update callback for mesh datablock, but it's not so much simple
now (would need to do some re-arranges to DAG which might conflict
with the work from Ali or will double amount of work we did).
So for now use simple solution with mutex lock.
Based on the patch from Campbell Barton with some fixes to make
changes really thread-safe.

It doesn't make any sense anymore with the current depsgraph and probably was
not useful for a long time, just a leftover from the pre 2.04 game engine.
Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

Summary:
Issue was caused by access to pchan->custom object from channel free
function when freeing all objects from main. Order of objects free
is not defined and such an access might easily end up with access
to freed memory.
We don't need to do user counter stuff when freeing main, so added
an _ex functions with do_id_user flag which is used when freeing main.
We had the same issue with other datablocks, so now it should be
easier to support relevant user counter.
This issue was caused by the fix for T36391, so perhaps that's indeed
high time to do real user counter.

Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

There were several issues with how bounding box and texture space
are calculated:
- This was done at the same time as applying modifiers, meaning if
several objects are sharing the same curve datablock, bounding
box and texture space will be calculated multiple times.
Further, allocating bounding box wasn't safe for threading.
- Bounding box and texture space were evaluated after pre-tessellation
modifiers are applied. This means Curve-level data is actually
depends on object data, and it's really bad because different
objects could have different modifiers and this leads to
conflicts (curve's data depends on object evaluation order)
and doesn't behave in a predictable way.
This commit moves bounding box and texture space evaluation from
modifier stack to own utility functions, just like it's was done
for meshes.
This makes curve objects update thread-safe, but gives some
limitations as well. Namely, with such approach it's not so
clear how to preserve the same behavior of texture space:
before this change texture space and bounding box would match
beveled curve as accurate as possible.
Old behavior was nice for quick texturing -- in most cases you
didn't need to modify texture space at all. But texture space
was depending on render/preview settings which could easily lead
to situations, when final result would be far different from
preview one.
Now we're using CV points coordinates and their radius to approximate
the bounding box. This doesn't give the same exact texture space,
but it helps a lot keeping texture space in a nice predictable way.
We could make approximation smarter in the future, but fir now
added operator to match texture space to fully tessellated curve
called "Match Texture Space".

Patch by Martin Felke, many thanks.
When copying that modifier across objects, we also have to ensure that a skin CDLayer is present in dest objects (just as when adding it).
