This allows for extra output passes that encode automatic object and material masks
for the entire scene. It is an implementation of the Cryptomatte standard as
introduced by Psyop. A good future extension would be to add a manifest to the
export and to do plenty of testing to ensure that it is fully compatible with other
renderers and compositing programs that use Cryptomatte.
Internally, it adds the ability for Cycles to have several passes of the same type
that are distinguished by their name.

Apparently quite a few users would like to have the noisy pass available when using the denoiser, and since it's being generated anyways we might as well expose it by default.

* Remove tex_* and pixels_* functions, replace by mem_*.
* Add MEM_TEXTURE and MEM_PIXELS as memory types recognized by devices.
* No longer create device_memory and call mem_* directly, always go
through device_only_memory, device_vector and device_pixels.
This was originally done with the first sample in the kernel for better
performance, but it doesn't work anymore with atomics. Any benefit was
very minor anyway, too small to measure it seems.
This commit contains the first part of the new Cycles denoising option,
which filters the resulting image using information gathered during rendering
to get rid of noise while preserving visual features as well as possible.
To use the option, enable it in the render layer options. The default settings
fit a wide range of scenes, but the user can tweak individual settings to
control the tradeoff between a noise-free image, image details, and calculation
time.
Note that the denoiser may still change in the future and that some features
are not implemented yet. The most important missing feature is animation
denoising, which uses information from multiple frames at once to produce a
flicker-free and smoother result. These features will be added in the future.
Finally, thanks to all the people who supported this project:
- Google (through the GSoC) and Theory Studios for sponsoring the development
- The authors of the papers I used for implementing the denoiser (more details
on them will be included in the technical docs)
- The other Cycles devs for feedback on the code, especially Sergey for
mentoring the GSoC project and Brecht for the code review!
- And of course the users who helped with testing, reported bugs and things
that could and/or should work better!
This upgrade the drawing code to use latest opengl calls.
Also, it adds a fallback shader for opencolorio.

The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

This is to help debug and track memory usage for generic buffers. We
have similar for textures already since those require a name, but for
buffers the name is only for debugging proposes.
This allows to save a memory copy, which will be particularly useful for network rendering.

Swap the for-loops in the RenderBuffer reset code to follow the convention
of looping over y in the outer loop.
The improved cache performance won't really be noticable here, but it's nicer
if it follows the usual style.
Quite straightforward implementation, but still needs some work for the split
kernel. Includes both regular and split kernel implementation for that.
The pass is not exposed to the interface yet because it's currently not really
easy to have same pass listed in the menu multiple times.
This more a workaround for CUDA optimizer which can't optimize clamp(x, 0, 1)
into a single instruction and uses 4 instructions instead.
Original patch by @lockal with own modification:
Don't make changes outside of the kernel. They don't make any difference
anyway and term saturate() has a bit different meaning outside of kernel.
This gives around 2% of speedup in Barcelona file, but in more complex shader
setups with lots of math nodes with clamping speedup could be much nicer.

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.

Issue was caused by the wrong usage of OCIO GLSL binding API. To make it
work properly on pre-GLSL-1.3 drivers shader is to be enabled after the
texture is binded to the opengl context. Otherwise it wouldn't know the
proper texture size.
This is actually a regression in 2.70 and to be ported to 'a'.
