Only happened when rendering second time with OSL enabled.
Was caused by fix for T47201. Hopefully now all the issues
are solved (meaning, we don't keep files opened and don't
crash either).
Now image will be opened for while render session is active, this is
needed to keep image cache working correctly. But stopping render
should now release all files descriptors.
Displacement shader was not updating motion vertex positions.
Current solution is not totally correct because it applies same offset
for all time steps. Ideally we'll need to evaluate displacement shader
for every time offset separately, but currently we don't have subframe
image access.
For the time being will consider this a TODO.
Compiling OSL scripts with errors in them would cause Blender to crash since the OSL version
bump to 1.6.9 instead of printing the error to the console as it did before.
With version 1.6.2, OSL added a pointer to an OpenImageIO ErrorHandler as an argument to the
OSLCompiler constructor. However, since it defaults to the NULL pointer, Blender still compiled
fine after the OSL version bump.
It turns out, though, that this pointer is used without further checks inside the OSL code, which
makes it crash when it tries to report an error unless a valid ErrorHandler pointer is specified.
Therefore, this commit simply passes a pointer to the static default handler that OIIO offers,
which prints the error to the console just like OSL did before.
Using this feature for a more advanced error handling and displaying from the Blender side would
be possible and seems reasonable, but for now it's not really relevant for fixing this bug.
The combined pass is built with the contributions the user finds fit.
It is useful for lightmap baking, as well as non-view dependent effects
baking.

This patch adds the "Hilbert Spiral", a custom-designed continuous space-filling curve, as a tile order for rendering in Cycles.
It essentially works by dividing the tiles into tile blocks which are processed in a spiral outwards from the center. Inside each
block, the tiles are processed in a regular Hilbert curve pattern. By rotating that pattern according to the spiral direction,
a continuous curve is obtained, which helps with cache coherency and therefore rendering speed.
The curve is a compromise between the faster-rendering Bottom-to-Top etc. orders and the Center order, which is a bit slower,
but starts with the more important areas. The Hilbert Spiral also starts in the center (unless huge tiles are used) and is still
marginally slower than Bottom-to-Top, but noticeably faster than Center.

Patch from be28706 made it so integrator will use last shader's transparent
shadow flag, which is wrong since last shader might not have transparent
shadow while shaders prior to it might have one.
This commit changes the way how we pass bounce information to the Light
Path node. Instead of manualy copying the bounces into ShaderData, we now
directly pass PathState. This reduces the arguments that we need to pass
around and also makes it easier to extend the feature.
This commit also exposes the Transmission Bounce Depth to the Light Path
node. It works similar to the Transparent Depth Output: Replace a
Transmission lightpath after X bounces with another shader, e.g a Diffuse
one. This can be used to avoid black surfaces, due to low amount of max
bounces.

I tested compilation and usage on CPU (SVM and OSL), CUDA, OpenCL Split

The issue was caused by OSL using TLS which is required to be freed before the
Cycles session is freed. This is quite tricky to do in Cycles because different
render session are sharing the same task scheduler, so when one session is being
freed TLS might need to be active still.
In order to solve this, we are now doing JIT optimization ahead of the time
which ensures either TLS of JIT is freed before the render on multi-core system
or freed on OSLRenderSession destroy on single-core system.
This might increase synchronization time due to JIT of unused function, but
that we can solve later with some smart idea,
This commit overrides the user's choice of tile order in the case of viewport rendering and always uses bottom-to-top instead.
This was already done until the TileManager redesign, but since it removed the distinction between viewport and regular rendering
in the manager, the viewport was now also using the selected order. Since this requires sorting of the generated tiles,
it slows down rendering a bit. With the forced bottom-to-top order, this sorting step can now be avoided again.
Since the tile order is invisible anyways for viewport rendering, this commit won't have any impact on users (apart from a slight speedup).
This commit adds "Bands Saw" and "Rings Saw" to the options for the Wave texture node in Cycles, behaving similar to the Saw option in BI textures.

This is an attempt to emulate real CMOS cameras which reads sensor by scanlines
and hence different scanlines are sampled at a different moment in time, which
causes so called rolling shutter effect. This effect will, for example, make
vertical straight lines being curved when doing horizontal camera pan.
This is controlled by the Shutter Type option in the Motion Blur panel.
Additionally, since scanline sampling is not instantaneous it's possible to have
motion blur on top of rolling shutter.
This is controlled by the Rolling Shutter Time slider which controls balance
between pure rolling shutter effect and pure motion blur effect.

Vector mapping node was doing some weird mapping of both original and mapped
coordinates. Mapping of original coordinates was caused by the clamping nature
of the LUT generated from the node. Mapping of the mapped value again was quite
totally obscure -- one needed to constantly keep in mind that actual value will
be scaled up and moved down.
This commit makes it so values in the vector curve mapping are always absolute.
In fact, it is now behaving quite the same as RGB curve mapping node and the
code could be de-duplicated. Keeping the code duplicated for a bit so it's more
clear what exact parts of the node changed.

The idea is to have separate sets per node name in order to speed up the
comparison process. This will use a bit more memory and slow down simple
shaders, but this extra memory is not so much huge and time penalty is
not really measurable (at least from initial tests).
This saves orders of magnitude seconds when de-duplicating 17K nodes and
overall process now takes 0.01sec on my laptop,
Use Summary structure to collect all summary related on the shader compilation
process which then could be either simply reported to the log or be passed to
some user interface or so.
This is type of the summary / report which is most flexible and useful and
something we could use for other parts like shader optimization.
The idea of this commit is to merge nodes which has identical settings
and matching inputs into a single node in order to minimize number of
SVM instructions.
This is quite simple bottom-top graph traversal and the trickiest part
is how to compare node settings without too much trouble which seems to
be solved is quite clean way.
Still possibilities for further improvements:
- Support comparison of BSDF nodes
- Support comparison of volume nodes
- Support comparison of curve mapping/ramp nodes

- When rendering in the Viewport, next_tile is sometimes called after a reset has been performed, but before
new tiles were generated. In that case, the tile list would be invalid, causing Blender to crash randomly.
- When generating new tiles, the TileManager would not clear the tile lists before re-generating them, leading
to some tiles being skipped during viewport rendering.
- When popping the next tile from a tile list, a reference to the just-deleted object would be returned, now the
object is copied before deleting it.
This way socket type conversions (such as color to float, or float to vector) do not stop the folding process.
Example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=96803 (selected nodes are folded).
This commit modifies the TileManager to sort render tiles once after tiling the image,
instead of searching the next tile every time a new tile is acquired by a device.
This makes acquiring a tile run in constant time, therefore the render time is linear
w.r.t. the amount of tiles, instead of the quadratic dependency before.
Furthermore, each (logical) device now has its own Tile list, which makes acquiring
a tile for a specific device easier.
Also, some code in the TileManager was deduplicated.

This is actually intended behavior to return NULL when the socket is not
found. It's used in certain BSDF nodes to query whether some inputs exists
or not.
Perhaps we can be more explicit here and have dedicated logic to query
socket existance and keep assert in place.
In any case, even if we lost assert() for the constant fold now it's
still somewhat better than duplicated code. Perhaps.
This way, connecting Value or RGB node to e.g. a Math node will still allow folding.
Note: The same should be done for the ConvertNode, but I leave that for another day.
Previously RGB Curves node will clamp input to 0..1 which is rather useless
when one wants to use HDR image textures and do bit of correction on them.
Now kernel code supports extrapolation of baked LUT based on first/last two
table points and performs linear extrapolation.
The only tricky part is to guess the range to bake the LUT for. Currently
it's using simple approach -- minmax of the input curves. While this behaves
ok for the simple cases it's easy to trick the system up causing incorrect
results.
Not sure we can solve those issues in a general case and since the new code
is giving more expected results it's not that bad actually. In the worst
case artist migh always create explicit point to make sure LUT is created
for the needed HDR range.

Previously render nodes will be always created with just a VECTOR socket
type and then those sockets will try to be set as all point, vector and
normal to work around lack of such a subtype distinguishing in blender.
This change makes it so subtype is being queried from OSL itself and
proper subtupe is being used for socket.
It's still not in use for the official builds because it requires changes
applied recently on the 1.7 branch of OSL:
