Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
Add a Fast GI Method, either Replace for the existing behavior, or Add
to add ambient occlusion like the old world settings.
This replaces the old Ambient Occlusion settings in the world properties.
This is still useful in some cases even if not used by OpenImageDenoise. In
the future this may be replaced with a more generic system to control render
passes and filtering, but for now this just does what it did before.
Panning in camera view makes the border to be modified, which was causing
the Cycles display to believe the rendered result is unusable.
The solution is to draw the render result at the display parameters it was
updated for. This allows to avoid flickering during panning, zooming, and
camera FOV changes. The suboptimal aspect of this is that it has some jelly
effect, although it is on the same level as jelly effect of object outline
so it is not terrible.

The idea is to allow having a lot of non-intersecting volumes without
allocating volume stack to its full size.
With the F11285472 file the memory usage goes from 1400 MiB to 1000
on the RTX6000 card.
The fix makes it so the integrator work memory is allocated after
scene update which has downside of possible less efficient update
when some textures don't fit GPU memory, but has an advantage of
making proper decision and having a clear and consistent internal API.
Fixes memory part of T92014.

The approach didn't turn out to be that useful after all as there
are unavoidable dependencies of data from the device. For example,
to know whether object intersects volume or not it is required to
run displacement kernels.
The way of splitting host and device updates caused state where
some data is not yet available, causing confusion and leaving
code to be error-prone.
* Additional structs added to the hipew loader for device props
* Adds hipRTC functions to the loader for future usage
* Enables CPU+GPU usage for HIP
* Cleanup to the adaptive kernel compilation process
* Fix for kernel compilation failures with HIP with latest master
Ref T92393, D12958
Mention required CUDA and OptiX compute capability and minimum driver
version. For HIP there is a placeholder until we know the supported
architectures.
This triggered a compiler bug where it does not handle the sub.s16 PTX
instruction. Instead refactor the code so we don't need to do uint16_t
subtraction at all.
Also update OptiX device to remove the AO pass direct callable.
Thanks Patrick Mours for figuring this out.
Similar to main path compaction that happens before adding work tiles, this
compacts shadow paths before launching kernels that may add shadow paths.
Only do it when more than 50% of space is wasted.
It's not a clear win in all scenes, some are up to 1.5% slower. Likely caused
by different order of scheduling kernels having an unpredictable performance
impact. Still feels like compaction is just the right thing to avoid cases
where a few shadow paths can hold up a lot of main paths.

Apple's international keyboards have an additional `kVK_ISO_Section`
key. With some (Italian, Spanish) keyboard layouts, this is `\`, `[` keys
which Blender keymap can use.
Right now this key is explicitly set as `Unknown`.
Note that `kVK_ANSI_Grave` is located in a different location.

Easy now thanks to the main and shadow path decoupling. Doesn't help
in an benchmark scene except Spring, where it reduces render time by
maybe 2-3%.
Ref T87836
Taking advantage of the new decoupled main and shadow paths. For CPU we
just store two nested structs in the integrator state, one for direct light
shadows and one for AO. For the GPU we restrict the number of shade surface
states to be executed based on available space in the shadow paths queue.
This also helps improve performance in benchmark scenes with an AO pass,
since it is no longer needed to use the shader raytracing kernel there,
which has worse performance.

This patch cleans up code for HIP device and makes it more consistent with the CUDA code.
It also fixes the issue with high VRAM usage on AMD cards using HIP allowing better performance and usage on cards like 6600XT.
Added a check in intern/cycles/kernel/bvh/bvh_util.h to prevent compiler error with hipcc

These transparent shadows can be expansive to evaluate. Especially on the
GPU they can lead to poor occupancy when only some pixels require many kernel
launches to trace and evaluate many layers of transparency.
Baked transparency allows tracing a single ray in many cases by accumulating
the throughput directly in the intersection program without recording hits
or evaluating shaders. Transparency is baked at curve vertices and
interpolated, for most shaders this will look practically the same as actual
shader evaluation.
Fixes T91428, performance regression with spring demo file due to transparent
hair, and makes it render significantly faster than Blender 2.93.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12880
The motivation for this is twofold. It improves performance (5-10% on most
benchmark scenes), and will help to bring back transparency support for the
ambient occlusion pass.
* Duplicate some members from the main path state in the shadow path state.
* Add shadow paths incrementally to the array similar to what we do for
the shadow catchers.
* For the scheduling, allow running shade surface and shade volume kernels
as long as there is enough space in the shadow paths array. If not, execute
shadow kernels until it is empty.
* Add IntegratorShadowState and ConstIntegratorShadowState typedefs that
can be different between CPU and GPU. For GPU both main and shadow paths
juse have an integer for SoA access. Bt with CPU it's a different pointer
type so we get type safety checks in code shared between CPU and GPU.
* For CPU, add a separate IntegratorShadowStateCPU struct embedded in
IntegratorShadowState.
* Update various functions to take the shadow state, and make SVM take either
type of state using templates.

A Clang-Format configuration to make the closure definition block to
be properly recognized as such.
Also small wrapper macro to avoid comma in the actual definition code
which was causing unwanted indentation of parameters definition.
Requires Clang-Format 7 or newer. The version we ship in the libs is
12, so for recommended development setup it should all be good.

The thread affinity setting in OIDN can break multithreading on some CPUs.
While this leads to somewhat worse performance on CPUs that do work correctly,
it's better than having some CPUs use only half the cores.
The lookup tables are to be initialized after device free.
On Linux was only noticeable when rendering default cube scene with
an extra assert. On Windows it was causing an assert in STL in debug
builds.

that every device can define in its own way.
* Remove INTEGRATOR_STATE_ARGS and INTEGRATOR_STATE_PASS macros and
replace with these new typedefs.
