The issue was caused by the whole viewplane used for mapping calculation
which would for sure lead to differences between final camera render and
viewport render from the camera view.
This commit makes it so window texture mapping is the same as final render
when viewing from the camera in viewport render.
It's not totally clear what's the right thing to do when viewport is not
in the camera view mode and that part is left unchanged.
This is the same as blender internal's texture mapping from another object,
so this way it's possible to control texture space of one object by another.
Quite straightforward change apart from the workaround for the stupidness of
the dependency graph. Now shader has flag telling that it depends on object
transform. This is the simplest way to know which shaders needs to be tagged
for update when object changes. This might give some false-positive tags now
but reducing them should not be priority for Cycles and rather be a priority
to bring new dependency graph.
Also GLSL preview does not support using other object for mapping.
This is actually correct for BI shading as well and to be addressed as
a part of general GLSL viewport improvements since it's not really clear
how to support this in GLSL.

This commit makes it so blackbody and beckmann lookup tables are stored on CPU
after being generated and then only being copied to the device if needed.
This solves lag of viewport update when tweaking shader tree by using 266KB of
CPU memory.
This way Cycles finally becomes feature-full on image projections
compared to Blender Internal and Gooseberry Project Team could
finally finish the movie.
* If a Background node is set to a black color or zero strength,
it now gets removed from the shader graph.
* In case the graph is empty (no background node), the kernel will skip
evaluating it and save some rendertime. This can help quite a bit in scenes,
where the majority of the image consists of a black background.
Example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=82650
In this case the render is ~16% faster.

Issue was caused by wrong order of scene device update, which could
lead to missing object flags in shader kernel.
This patch solves a bit more than that making sure objects flags are
always properly updated, so adding/removing volume BSDF will properly
reflect on viewport where camera might become being in volume and so.
They went back from string_view to string for compiler options.
Still having linking errors here, but maybe others will be more lucky to fully
compiler blender with new OSL.
This patch adds the option to set minimum/maximum latitude/longitude values for
the equirectangular panorama camera in Cycles, as discussed in T34400.
The separate functions in kernel_projection.h are needed because the regular
ones are also used as helper functions for environment map sampling.

This patch makes Cycles ignore the time spent in BVH construction etc. when
estimating the remaining time. Considering that the remaining time is calculated
based on the average time per tile so far, as far as I understand it makes no
sense to include the preprocessing time.

This is what was handy troubleshooting issues in the studio,
plus this is exactly the same thing which would be helpful
when solving issues with paths to compiled shaders and cubins
for standalone repository.
This commit enables QBVH optimization structure automatically if rendering
with CPU and SSE2 support is detected.
This brings render time of agent shot back to the speed it used to be before
the watertight intersections commit, single koro and sponza scenes are about
7% faster here.
This commit implements traversal for QBVH tree, which is based on the old loop
code for traversal itself and Embree for node intersection.
This commit also does some changes to the loop inspired by Embree:
- Visibility flags are only checked for primitives.
Doing visibility check for every node cost quite reasonable amount of time
and in most cases those checks are true-positive.
Other idea here would be to do visibility checks for leaf nodes only, but
this would need to be investigated further.
- For minimum hair width we extend all the nodes' bounding boxes.
Again doing curve visibility check is quite costly for each of the nodes and
those checks returns truth for most of the hierarchy anyway.
There are number of possible optimization still, but current state is good
enough in terms it makes rendering faster a little bit after recent watertight
commit.
Currently QBVH is only implemented for CPU with SSE2 support at least. All
other devices would need to be supported later (if that'd make sense from
performance point of view).
The code is enabled for compilation in kernel. but blender wouldn't use it
still.
Currently it acts the same as set_cancel(), but this way we're able to
distinguish situations when rendering was aborted by user demand (for
example pressing Esc in standalone renderer) or if something went horribly
wrong (for example out of VRAM error).
This way for example we wouldn't wait a fortune while BVH is building after
GPU run out of memory when loading images just to see the render failure
message.
Forbid OSL from polluting current conext with obscure stuff from
windows.h, it's not useful and unhealthy anyway.
Maybe we sohuld also forbid using abbreviated Glog constants as
well tho.
So now cases when object has both hair motion blur and deformation motion blur
vector pass is all correct.
We could get rid of the flag in the future, still need to look deeper into all
the areas trying to find a more clear solution.
Create unique flag for output shaders with displacement data and use it
to calculate transformed normal. Implementation suggested by Brecht Van
Lommel.

That code was mainly needed for the transition period, now we've
got all platforms updated to new OSL.
Plus there are some crucial fixes baking in the current upstream
sources which we'll need to have for the next Blender release.
It's the same filter which is used by default by Blender Internal renderer
and it gives crispier edges than gaussian filter.
Default filter for Cycles is unchanged because it's unclear if new filter
gives more noise or not. After some further real production tests we can
consider making Mitchell filter default for Cycles as well.
It is per-material setting which could be found under the Volume settings
in the material and world context buttons.
There could still be some code-wise improvements, like using variable-size
macro for interp3d instead of having interp3d_ex to which you can pass the
interpolation method.
Currently only summed number of traversal steps and intersections used by the
camera ray intersection pass is implemented, but in the future we will support
more debug passes which would help checking what things makes the scene slow.
Example of such extra passes could be number of bounces, time spent on the
shader tree evaluation and so.
Implementation from the Cycles side is pretty much straightforward, could only
mention here that it's a build-time option disabled by default.
From the blender side it's implemented as a PASS_DEBUG with several subtypes
possible. This way we don't need to create an extra DNA pass type for each of
the debug passes, saving us a bits.

This way there's much less cross-references between objects and meshes
device update functions.
The only thing remained s the object bounds calculation which is needed
by bvh update. This could also be decoupled, but it's not that crucial
yet because its's how it used to be for ages now.
This adds an AABB collision check for objects with volumes and if there's a
collision detected then the object will have SD_OBJECT_INTERSECTS_VOLUME flag.
This solves a speed regression introduced by the fix for T39823 by skipping
volume stack update in cases no volumes intersects the current SSS object.
This means it's no longer needed to enable experimental feature set in order to
have proper camera in volume support. And this also means if there's something
wrong going on, or if there's speed regression for cases when camera is obviously
not in the volume -- this issues are to be reported and handled in the regular
matter.
Happy blending!
