Cycles can use a per face flag to determine if a face is smooth or flat,
and there is no need to use corner normals in such cases. So revert to
not doing that as before, which also saves a bit of memory.
There is a pre-existing issue where faces are split by sharp edges and
autosmooth, which is not solved by this. It's only fixing the regression.
The pre-4.0 Principled BSDF had a special diffuse BSDF that contained
the roughness value from the node. Since 4.0, the regular Diffuse BSDF is used,
so we need to ignore it when determining the roughness value for baking.
Enable huge pages for jemalloc. This requests the Linux kernel to use
huge (2 MB) pages for large allocations. This has the effect of speeding
up first accesses to those allocations, and possibly also speeds up future
accesses by reducing TLB faults.
By default, 4 KB pages are used unless the user enables huge pages through
a kernel parameter or an obscure sysfs setting.
For Cycles benchmarks, this gives about a 5% CPU rendering performance
improvement. It likely also improves performance in other areas of Blender.

Caused by e968b4197b / 67e23b4b29
Since culprit commits, we are not running `MANTA::initGuiding` /
`fluid_alloc_guiding` if guiding is meant to be pulled from other
domains (it does work with effectors though). This is because atm. only
the `FLUID_DOMAIN_ACTIVE_GUIDE` flag sets `mUsingGuiding` to true
(activated in `update_obstacleflags`, so only for effectors).
So to fix this, we have to ensure that `MANTA::initGuiding` runs (also
if guiding is pulled from domains), but also make sure we dont run into
the crashes from T102257.
It seems that the real reason we were getting crashes in T102257 is that
67e23b4b29 made it so that resetting the cache (including a call to
`fluid_modifier_reset_ex`) in `fluid_modifier_processDomain` happens
**after** `FluidDomainSettings.active_fields` have been updated (this
happens in `update_flowsflags` & `update_obstacleflags`).
But `fluid_modifier_reset_ex` also resets
`FluidDomainSettings.active_fields`. If we then update pointers later in
`fluid_modifier_processDomain`, we never get anything in the guiding
related pointers for the new `mCurrentID` (specifically `mPhiGuideIn`
will be a nullptr). This is the real reason `initGuiding()` runs a
second time (it does once for `fluid_modifier_init` then again as a
consequence of the call to `manta_guiding`).
This patch proposes to move the resetting process from 67e23b4b29
**above** the refreshing of the `FluidDomainSettings.active_fields`,
this way these field stay intact, we do get the first run of
`initGuiding()` from `fluid_modifier_init`, manta pointers get updated
with intact fields afterwards (so we then get a valid `mPhiGuideIn`),
which then prevents the second run from `manta_guiding` to actually call
the python script again.
The fix from e968b4197b is then not needed and reverted in this patch.
This should be good for LTS I think.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

In this case the object transform can use more motion steps, but the
geometry needs to have its motion steps fixed since the velocity
attribute completely overrides them.
There was one functional issue with the previous API which was its
use in `VolumeGrid<T>::grid_for_write(tree_token)`. The issue was
that the tree token had to be received before the grid is accessed.
However, this `grid_for_write` method might create a copy of the
`VolumeGridData` internally and if it does, the passed in `tree_token`
corresponds to the wrong tree.
The solution is to output the token as part of the method. This has two
additional benefits:
* The API is more safe, because one can't pass an r-value into the methods
anymore. This generally shouldn't be done, because the token should
live at least as long as the OpenVDB tree is used and shouldn't be freed
immediatly.
* The API is a bit simpler, because it's not necessary to call the
`VolumeGrid.tree_access_token()` method anymore.
Regression from [0] based on the incorrect assumption that X11's
Time was a uint64. Despite the `Time` type being 8 bytes,
the value wraps at UINT32_MAX.

- GHOST_SystemX11::m_start_time now uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of
gettimeofday(..) since event times should always increase.
- Event timestamps now accumulate uint32 rollover.

When a mesh light is shadow-linked to something with a specific
shader network it was possible that the emission_sd_storage was
not bit enough for sampling.
The shade_dedicate_light kernel only evaluates emission of either
light or mesh emitter and then resumes the regular path tracer.
There is no need to store closures.
This change makes it so a smaller storage is used, and also
passes flag to the shader evaluation function indicating that
closures are not to be stored.

Bundling many tests in a single binary reduces build time and disk space
usage, but is less convenient for running individual tests command line
as filter flags need to be used.
This adds WITH_TESTS_SINGLE_BINARY to generate one executable file per
source file. Note that enabling this option requires a significant amount
of disk space.
Due to refactoring, the resulting ctest names are a bit different than
before. The number of tests is also a bit different depending if this
option is used, as one uses gtests discovery and the other is organized
purely by filename, which isn't always 1:1.

The IES parser in Cycles would lead to heap buffer overflow error
when non-supported or invalid data is provided to it.
The error was caused by the way how stirng is copied to vector
skipping the last null-terminator. Later C-style string utilities
are used for parsing, and they expect the data to be null-terminated.
It is unclear why data needs to be stored as vector: storing it as
string simplifies initialization.
Easiest to reproduce the issue is to use Blender build with address
sanitizer enabled.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format

If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
The use-after-free is triggered when the GHOST system is created
multiple timers during the application timelife which happens in
the integration tests.
The solution is to release the application delegate and set it
to nil when the GHOST system is being destroyed. This ensures that
all subsequent GHOST systems properly initialize application
delegate, and that there is no application delegate which points
to a freed system.
The original issue was noticed by a flackey behavior of the
bf_gpu_tests test which was failing at random. The issue could
be reliably reproduced by running this test with ASAN enabled.

Using a non-null background brush does remove an initial white flash
while the program is loading and before we start painting. But this
results in some extra and unnecessary redraws. Default WM_ERASEBKGND
behaviour is to do nothing if this is brush is null, so if non-null we
get erased and must redraw. Suppressing WM_ERASEBKGND will not give us
that initial paint, so no benefit in keeping the brush added in #115968.

There are some tragic design flaws with the Microsoft STL
implementation of `std::dequeue`. Unless we implement our
own similar data structure or use an implementation from
another library, the change isn't worth it.
This reverts commit b26cd6a4b9.
This reverts commit cc11ba33d9.
This reverts commit c929d75054.
This reverts commit bd3d5a750d.
Some common headers were including this. Separating the includes
will ideally lead to better conceptual separation between CustomData
and the attribute API too. Mostly the change is adding the file to
places where it was included indirectly before. But some code is
shuffled around to hopefully better places as well.
GSQueue dates back over 21 years, past the initial git commit. Nowadays
we generally prefer to use data structures from the C++ standard library
or our own C++ data structures. Previous commits replaced this container
with `std::queue` in a few areas. Now it is unused and can be removed.
Remove most includes of this header inside other headers, to remove unnecessary
indirect includes which can have a impact on compile times. In the future we may
want more dedicated "_fwd.hh" headers, but until then, this sticks with the
solution in existing code.
Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to remove the include from `BKE_geometry_set.hh`.
Each value is now out of the global namespace, so they can be shorter
and easier to read. Most of this commit just adds the necessary casting
and namespace specification. `enum class` can be forward declared since
it has a specified size. We will make use of that in the next commit.
This refactors how volume grids are stored with the following new goals in mind:
* Get a **stand-alone volume grid** data structure that can be used by geometry nodes.
Previously, the `VolumeGrid` data structure was tightly coupled with the `Volume` data block.
* Support **implicit sharing of grids and trees**. Previously, it was possible to share data
when multiple `Volume` data blocks loaded grids from the same `.vdb` files but this was
not flexible enough.
* Get a safe API for **lazy-loading and unloading** of grids without requiring explicit calls
to some "load" function all the time.
* Get a safe API for **caching grids from files** that is not coupled to the `Volume` data block.
* Get a **tiered API** for different levels of `openvdb` involvement:
* No `OpenVDB`: Since `WITH_OPENVDB` is optional, it's helpful to have parts of the API that
still work in this case. This makes it possible to write high level code for volumes that does
not require `#ifdef WITH_OPENVDB` checks everywhere. This is in `BKE_volume_grid_fwd.hh`.
* Shallow `OpenVDB`: Code using this API requires `WITH_OPENVDB` checks. However, care
is taken to not include the expensive parts of `OpenVDB` and to use forward declarations as
much as possible. This is in `BKE_volume_grid.hh` and uses `openvdb_fwd.hh`.
* "Full" `OpenVDB`: This API requires more heavy `OpenVDB` includes. Fortunately, it turned
out to be not necessary for the common API. So this is only used for task specific APIs.
At the core of the new API is the `VolumeGridData` type. It's a wrapper around an
`openvdb::Grid` and adds some features on top like implicit sharing, lazy-loading and unloading.
Then there are `GVolumeGrid` and `VolumeGrid` which are containers for a volume grid.
Semantically, each `VolumeGrid` has its own independent grid, but this is cheap due to implicit
sharing. At highest level we currently have the `Volume` data-block which contains a list of
`VolumeGrid`.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Volume --> VolumeGrid --> VolumeGridData --> openvdb::Grid
```
The loading of `.vdb` files is abstracted away behind the volume file cache API. This API makes
it easy to load and reuse entire files and individual grids from disk. It also supports caching
simplify levels for grids on disk.
An important new concept are the "tree access tokens". Whenever some code wants to work
with an openvdb tree, it has to retrieve an access token from the corresponding `VolumeGridData`.
This access token has to be kept alive for as long as the code works with the grid data. The same
token is valid for read and write access. The purpose of these access tokens is to make it possible
to detect when some code is currently working with the openvdb tree. This allows freeing it if it's
possible to reload it later on (e.g. from disk). It's possible to free a tree that is referenced by
multiple owners, but only no one is actively working with. In some sense, this is similar to the
existing `ImageUser` concept.
The most important new files to read are `BKE_volume_grid.hh` and `BKE_volume_grid_file_cache.hh`.
Most other changes are updates to existing code to use the new API.

Make the naming consistent with the recent change from "loop" to
"corner". Avoid the need for a special type for these triangles by
conveying the semantics in the naming instead.
- `looptris` -> `corner_tris`
- `lt` -> `tri` (or `corner_tri` when there is less context)
- `looptri_index` -> `tri_index` (or `corner_tri_index`)
- `lt->tri[0]` -> `tri[0]`
- `Span<MLoopTri>` -> `Span<int3>`
- `looptri_faces` -> `tri_faces` (or `corner_tri_faces`)
If we followed the naming pattern of "corner_verts" and "edge_verts"
exactly, we'd probably use "tri_corners" instead. But that sounds much
worse and less intuitive to me.
I've found that by using standard vector types for this sort of data,
the commonalities with other areas become much clearer, and code ends
up being naturally more data oriented. Besides that, the consistency
is nice, and we get to mostly remove use of `DNA_meshdata_types.h`.

Remove null IME checks for to resolve an assertion and allow for the
window be set at any time before the event has been generated,
or generate the events even when there is no window.
Reported by Lukas Toenne who ran into this while debugging.
Under GNOME resizing a window often caused the window contents could be
a different size to the window-frame, resizing was also slow.
This occurred with LIBDECOR on Wayland when a window configure event
was called from a non-main thread.
Resolve by postponing the commit-configuration call until the main event
can handle it (matching XDG behavior).
A workaround using malloc_usable_size is currently needed.
While relying on the malloc size is not so portable and worth avoiding,
it resolves noticeable glitches and allows other workarounds to be
removed.
Any application that supports threaded event handing with LIBDECOR
will need a way to postpone applying the configuration.
Even once LIBDECOR supports this properly, a workaround is necessary
until support older versions of LIBDECOR can be dropped.
Before #108014, toggling "Auto Smooth" was an easy way to disable
evaluation of custom normals and face corner normals for faster
viewport playback performance. Now that corner normals are calculated
automatically as necessary, it's helpful to still have a way to disable
expensive normal computation for faster playback.
This commit adds a "Normals" scene simplify setting. To avoid a bunch
of complexity, it just influences which normals are requested from the
object by viewport rendering. In my tests, skipping calculating at
least doubled viewport FPS in a few test files with a large mesh with
custom normals. This works well because normals are cached and lazily
calculated.

This was an attempt to fix a crash resizing windows #107797
(which I can't reproduce), however it didn't fix the issue and meant
that a window would sometimes not reach the desired size,
the maximized window for e.g. would sometimes remain the un-maximized
size.
Since the preferred fractional scale callback runs,
remove a workaround that guessed the fractional scale from the output.
While it could be kept, it added unnecessary complexity.
Recent re-ordering change [0] on Wayland window initialization crashed
WLROOTS based compositors, resolve by keeping the updates and only
postponing the state change.
[0]: 39f378da37
Starting blender with --window-maximized wouldn't always size the
windows properly, similar to the fix for LIBDECOR, move setting the
window state last.
With fractional scale under GNOME, the window frames didn't match
the window contents. This was caused by updates needed to call
libdecor_frame_get_xdg_toplevel initializing the LIBDECOR window
before the window scale, internal buffer - etc were set.
Resolve by accessing moving the window state assignment last.
When the final buffer scale is known, set the window scaling on startup.
This avoids scaling immediately after creating the window which
flickers. It also resolves an paper-cut with KDE where fractional
scaling caused the window to be placed on the screen center,
then the size increased pushing the window contents off the bottom right
hand portion of the screen.
The term `looptri` was used ambiguously for both single & arrays.
The term `tri` was also used, causing `tri->tri`.
Use terms:
- `looptris` for an array or when dealing with multiple items.
- `looptri` is used when dealing with a single item.
- `lt` for a single MLoopTri variables & arguments.
This was already a convention but not followed closely.
From what I can tell time-stamps are supposed to be monotonic
however with LIBDECOR & GNOME click events after resizing the window
can cause this to happen.
Resolve by only considering the value wrapped when the new time-stamps
wrapped difference is less than the unwrapped difference.
Also skip wrapping when the current offset is closer to the current time
than it would be with the offset applied.
There were two problems here:
- libdecor_frame_get_content_* is not available in LIBDECOR v0.1.0.
- These functions aren't exposed by <libdecor.h>,
they're only exposed by `libdecor-plugin.h`
(intended for plug-ins that implement window decorations).
Resolve by storing the last applied size from LIBDECOR for reuse.

This commit aim at making the behaviors of `BLI_rename` and
`BLI_rename_overwrite` more consistent and coherent across all
supported platforms.
* `BLI_rename` now only succeeds in case the target `to` path does not
exists (similar to Windows `rename` behavior).
* `BLI_rename_overwrite` allows to replace an existing target `to` file
or (empty) directory (similar to Unix `rename` behavior).
NOTE: In case the target is open by some process on the system, trying
to overwrite it will still fail on Windows, while it should succeed on
Unix-like systems.
The main change for Windows is the usage of `MoveFileExW`
instead of `_wrename`, which allows for 'native support' of file
overwrite (using the `MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING` flag). Directories
still need to be explicitly removed though.
The main change for *nix systems is the use of `renamex_np` (OSX) or
`renameat2` (most Linux systems) to allow forbidding renaming to an
already existing target in an 'atomic' way.
NOTE: While this commit aims at avoiding the TOC/TOU problem as
much as possible by using available system's primitives for most
common cases, there are some situations where race conditions
(filesystem changes between checks on FS state, and actual rename
operation) remain possible.

Currently all buffer types were stored in host memory, which is visible to the GPU as well.
This is typically slow as the data would be transferred over the PCI bus when used.
Most of the time Index and Vertex buffers are written once and read many times so it makes
more sense to locate them on the GPU. Storage buffers typically require quick access as they
are created for shading/compute purposes.
This PR will try to store vertex buffers, index buffers and storage buffers on device memory
to improve the performance.
Uniform buffers are still located on host memory as they can be uploaded during binding process.
This can (will) reset the graphics pipeline triggering draw calls using unattached resources.
In future this could be optimized further as in:
* using different pools for allocating specific buffers, with a fallback when buffers cannot be
stored on the GPU anymore.
* store uniform buffers in device memory

OpenImageDenoise V2 comes with GPU support for various backends. This adds a new class, OIDNDenoiserGPU, in order to add this functionality into the existing Cycles post processing pipeline without having to change it much. OptiX and OIDN CPU denoising remain as they are. Rendering on a supported Intel GPU will automatically select the GPU denoiser.
Device support is initially limited to the oneAPI devices that are supported by Cycles, but can be extended.

The current code ran afoul of various arithmetic overflow conditions
when attempting to either Copy out or Paste in large images that would
overflow either the naive `w * h * 4` expression or the size of what the
DibV5 header allowed (DWORD, uint32_t).

This path merges the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes into a single
combined Noise Texture node. The reasoning is that both nodes
intrinsically do the same thing, which is the layering of Perlin noise
derivatives to produce fractal noise. So the patch de-duplicates code
and unifies the use of fractal noise for the end use.
Since the Noise node had a Distortion input and a Color output, while
the Musgrave node did not, those are now available to the Musgrave types
as new functionalities.
The Dimension input of the Musgrave node is analogous to the Roughness
input of the Noise node, so both inputs were unified to follow the same
behavior of the Roughness input, which is arguable more intuitive to
control. Similarly, the Detail input was slightly different across both
nodes, since the Noise node evaluated one extra layer of noise. This was
also unified to follow the behavior of the Noise node.
The patch, coincidentally fixes an unreported bug causing repeated
output for certain noise types and another floating precision bug
#112180.
The versioning code implemented with this patch ensures backward
compatibility for both the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes. When
opening older Blender files in Blender 4.1 the output of both nodes are
guaranteed to always be exactly identical to that of Blender files
created before the nodes were merged in all cases.
Forward compatibility with Blender 4.0 is implemented by #114236.
Forward compatibility with Blender 3.6 LTS is implemented by #115015.

Empty hair geometry in Cycles may still report having one curve, even when
there are no actual segments in that curve. This caused an attempt to build
an acceleration structure with zero primitives, which due to other setup
OptiX rejected with an error. Fix that by checking the number of segments
rather than the number of curves in the hair geometry, since the former will
always be zero for empty geometry.

Different from most layouts. The Turkish keyboard layout treats the `i` as the lowercase `İ` and the `ı` as the lowercase `I`.
So we have 2 different types of i: `ı` and `İ`. And two different I key positions on the keyboard.
This key with a different position is mapped as special and returns the corresponding `event->type` of the US keyboard `"` (`EVT_QUOTEKEY`).
The apparently most appropriate event for this key would be `EVT_IKEY`.
This type of change needs to be treated with care, as it may alter other shortcuts that are already common to Turkish users.

This is never define and has no use in current blender.
If we want to keep this functionality, we should
at the very least rename it to `GHOST_WINDOW_ALPHA`.

Anisotropy samplers are optional in Vulkan. This change will disable
anisotropy samplers when the feature isn't available on the device.
The support for anisotropy samplers is around 90% so would not expect
any compatibility issues.

The first problem was triangles with motion blur were all grouped into
one category without separating the ones with and without triangle
motion steps.
The second problem was HIP RT uses the generic motion triangle
intersection function and this function checks prim_visibility buffer.
HIP RT doesn't provide the buffer per primitive but passes it to HIP RT
core per instance.
The buffer name was changed to prim_visibility from visibility to be
the same as what Cycles uses but when the motion triangle intersection
function is called from HIP RT kernels, the instance id is passed to
the function instead of primitive id.

A windows pending actions wasn't cleared for new windows.
Although I'm not aware of user visible bugs, this prevents
unpredictable updates for new windows.
This PR works around an issue where zero-filled motion TLAS instance descriptors can cause unexpected hangs during downstream TLAS builds on M3. Instead of zeroing the descriptor we insert an explicit "null" BLAS, achieving the same result.

Remove `Material > Shadow Mode` and use `Object > Shadow Ray Visibility`
and `Material > Transparent Shadows` instead.
The versioning system auto-updates objects/materials in EEVEE
scenes so their behavior is as close as possible to the previous one.
Update Cycles to use the native `use_transparent_shadow` property.
Note:
Material changes don't set any `recalc` flag on the objects that use
them, so the EEVEE Next shadow maps don't update when changing
settings/nodes.
Fixing this issue is required for 4.1, but it's out of the scope of this PR.

In order to speedup compilation, we upgrade IGC to 1.0.14828.26 along
with ocloc and the associated dependencies.
We also bump min-driver version accordingly to 26918.

Done by passing USES_TERMINAL to the add_custom_command().
This allows to see sub-command messages early on, before they
are finished executing.
This should help buildbots to "see" that the kernels are still
being compiled and not kill the build because it did not output
anything in a long time.

This PR adds tunings for the [newly announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkW3V0Mh-k) M3 family of chips. In particular, MetalRT will be enabled as the automatic default for intersection testing on M3 and beyond to take advantage of hardware raytracing. This will result in significant path-tracing speedups, as well as faster BVH builds.

`shaderOutputLayer` and `shaderOutputViewportIndex` are optional in
Blender, but when used they should be activated on physical device level.
This wasn't the case and when used the validation layer reported an error.
This PR activates the features when creating the device if the features
are available.

The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
_(NOTE: This is a clone of [PR 114067](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/114067), but targeting `blender-v4.0-release` as originally intended)_
This PR removes the "experimental" disclaimer from the MetalRT control now that the unit tests all render correctly with it enabled. As well as "Off" and "On", this adds a third "Auto" setting - a new default which can be used to pick the best option.

This fixes an issue where animation frames occasionally get corrupted (e.g. when rendering "Pokedstudio" Blender 2.77 splash screen). This happens when the KernelData is refreshed but the MD5 isn't immediately regenerated which can cause the wrong PSO to be selected.

While the fix worked in my tests, the compositor is allowed to ignore
a requested window state change which could have entered an eternal
loop. Avoid this by limiting the while loop to 2x round-trips.
Even though the window was maximized, the non-maximized size was used.
Since the display size was used the window would be slightly larger,
clipping the status bar in GNOME.
As the window state will have been initialized, read the current window
state instead of assuming normal so changes are properly detected.
Also note that the cause of #107314 has been fixed up-stream.
This PR adds `@autoreleasepool` blocks around functions that have been observed to create hidden temporary NSObjects, and eventually cause command buffer failures. A couple of allocations needed to be tweaked in order to maintain correct retain/release behaviour. This PR also fixes the command buffer error text to show more useful information.

When the output wasn't fractionally scaled but the compositor supports
fractional scaling, new windows were smaller than requested.
Caused by [0] which was incorrectly calculating the non-fractional scale
used by LIBDECOR (which isn't accessible via it's API).
Resolve by only using fractional scaling logic when outputs
have a fractional component.
