GPv3 uses `OB_MODE_EDIT` so it falsely shows empty mesh data in stats.

When the edit mesh modifier stack first deforms the original edit mesh,
it creates deformed positions in a separate array. That array is copied
to the mesh's vertex positions if a subsequent modifier requires an
actual mesh rather than a mesh wrapper.
However, if that last deform modifier is the last "on cage" modifier
and the next modifier requires a real Mesh, we hit a code path that
didn't copy the temporary position array, since it was contained in the
separate `EditMeshData` struct that must be handled manually.
This was a regression in 91b27ab637. In the future I hope to
make this simpler by expanding the use of implicit sharing and making
the conversion from original BMesh to a Mesh more lazy / const correct.

The issue was caused by 29aaa2922d.
With the change from the offended commit there was nothing that
would have informed objects previously linked to a light that they
need to re-calculate their light linking collections.
This change makes it so scene's hierarchy is tagged for update,
which propagates to all dependencies which do depend on hierarchy
of objects and collections in the scene.
This brings behavior closer to what it used to be, without causing
slowdown with full re-evaluation (which was fixed by the offending
commit).

Allow the user to scale shadow-map resolution per-light.
Adapt the PCF scale based on shadow-map to pixel footprint ratio,
since we can no longer assume that higher LODs don't need filtering.
This allows using much lower shadow resolutions, which can yield
quite significant performance improvements, with relatively little
perceptual quality loss (at the cost of softening shadow edges).
The per-light resolution scale is a literal scale, so for example 0.5
means half the resolution. The Scene Simplify Shadows setting has
been updated to match this behavior.

Previously, we haven't added this because there were plans to use these
declarations at a higher abstraction level where one declaration potentially
contains more than one socket. This hasn't happened yet, and we are also using
other ways to achieve dynamic socket amounts (using dynamic declarations).
Therefore, it is reasonable to simplify the code by storing the integer socket
type in the declaration directly.

Those shouldn't really exist at all currently, since we forbid them in 354915cf3c.
Unfortunately, not all cases were removed, and many node trees with such sockets
have been created during the development of 4.1 due to the auto-smooth changes.
I'm not entirely sure if it's still possible to properly remove them now. The commit
above mentions that we might lose links due to changed identifiers. Maybe we're
better off just supporting these inlined sockets while also allowing the "align with
previous socket" functionality.
Either way, not creating more of such node trees for now is reasonable, since we
explicitly disabled that functionality for now.

This uses Spherical Harmonics to store the indirect lighting and
distant lighting visibility.
We can then reuse this information for each closure which divide
the cost of it by 2 or 3 in many cases, doing the scanning once.
The storage cost is higher than previous method, so we split the
resolution scaling to be independant of raytracing.
The spatial filtering has been split to its own pass for performance
reason. Upsampling now only uses 4 bilinearly interpolated samples
(instead of 9) using bilateral weights to avoid bleeding.
This also add a missing dot product (which soften the lighting
around corners) and fixes the blocky artifacts seen at lower
resolution.

This adds the approximation of phase function convolution
of the distant lighting captured inside probe volumes.
This is based on a publication at siggraph from Bartlomiej Wronsky
"Volumetric Fog: Unified compute shader based solution to
atmospheric scattering"
Implementation is quite straightforward. However this isn't as
good as one can expect as there isn't self shadowing from the
volume themself, so the lighting is still quite flat.
To fix this, we have to add support for volumetrics inside
probe volumes baking. But this approach would still be static
so a more general solution is still to be found for dynamic
volumes like smoke simulations.

This improves performance by **reducing** the amounts of threads used for tasks
which require a high memory bandwidth.
This works because the underlying hardware has a certain maximum memory
bandwidth. If that is used up by a few threads already, any additional threads
wanting to use a lot of memory will just cause more contention which actually
slows things down. By reducing the number of threads that can perform certain
tasks, the remaining threads are also not locked up doing work that they can't
do efficiently. It's best if there is enough scheduled work so that these tasks
can do more compute intensive tasks instead.
To use this new functionality, one has to put the parallel code in question into
a `threading::memory_bandwidth_bound_task(...)` block. Additionally, one also
has to provide a (very) rough approximation for how many bytes are accessed. If
the number is low, the number of threads shouldn't be reduced because it's
likely that all touched memory can be in L3 cache which generally has a much
higher bandwidth than main memory.
The exact number of threads that are allowed to do bandwidth bound tasks at the
same time is generally highly context and hardware dependent. It's also not
really possible to measure reliably because it depends on so many static and
dynamic factors. The thread count is now hardcoded to 8. It seems that this many
threads are easily capable of maxing out the bandwidth capacity.
With this technique I can measure surprisingly good performance improvements:
* Generating a 3000x3000 grid: 133ms -> 103ms.
* Generating a mesh line with 100'000'000 vertices: 212ms -> 189ms.
* Realize mesh instances resulting in ~27'000'000 vertices: 460ms -> 305ms.
In all of these cases, only 8 instead of 24 threads are used. The remaining
threads are idle in these cases, but they could do other work if available.

This uses parallel reduction when doing the octahedral map re-mapping.
The goal is not the speedup but the accuracy of the computation (temporal
stability) and to pave the way for sunlight extraction.
This weight each individual samples using texel solid angle for correct
energy.
After optimization, the cost is not so expensive (1024px² octahedral map):
- new: 263µs remap + 12µs sum
- old: 75µs remap + 180µs irradiance update
We could optimize it more, but that feels unecessary given that the first
two filter pass are 7ms and a more pressing optimization.
The old irradiance update was fast because it was using the mip2 which
was already pre-filtered and using way less pixels (which already yield a
temporally stable output).
This new implementation does consider all pixel in the LOD0 which will
allow for more precise sunlight extraction.
This also comes with a cleanup of the update tagging.

Simplifies/optimizes the "font" shader. It runs faster now too, but primarily
this is so that it loads/initializes faster.
* Instead of doing blur via individual bilinear samples (where each sample is 4
texel fetches), do raw texel fetches of the kernel footprint and compute final
result by shifting the kernel weights according to bilinear fraction weight.
For 5x5 blur, this reduces number of texel fetches from 64 down to 36.
* Instead of checking "is the texel inside the glyph box? if so, then fetch it",
first fetch it, and then set result to zero if it was outside. Simplifies the
branching code flow in the compiled GPU shader.
* Avoid costly integer modulo/division for "unwrapping" the font texture. The
texture width is always power of two size, so division/modulo can be replaced
by masking and a shift. Setup uniforms to contain the needed data.
### Fixes
* The 3x3 blur was not doing a 3x3 blur, due to a copy-pasta typo (one of the
sample offsets was repeated twice, and thus another sample offset was
missing).
* Blur towards left/top edges of the glyphs had artifacts, because float->int
casting in GLSL rounds towards zero, but the code actually wanted to round
towards floor.
Image of how the blur has changed in the PR.
### First time initialization
* Windows 10, NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti, OpenGL: 274.4ms -> 51.3ms
* macOS, Apple M1 Max, Metal: 456ms -> 289ms (this is including PSO creation
time).
### Shader performance/complexity
Performance I only measured on macOS (M1 Max), by making a BLF text that is
scaled up to cover most of screen via Python. Using Xcode Metal profiler,
drawing that text with 5x5 shadow blur: 1.5ms -> 0.3ms.

For example, copying and moving a trivial type ends is the same.
However, currently we generate the code for both cases independently
instead of reusing the same underlying function.
This reduces the size of the Blender binary from `218.548.896` to
`218.355.552` bytes for me. So it's a reduction of about 200kb.
It's probably possible to reduce this even more, but that's for another day.
The main tricky thing here is telling the compiler that a `const` from a
function parameter can be cast away for trivial types (see code comment).
Maybe there is a better way to do this while making sure the compiler
doesn't generate unnecessary code.

This was caused by 745fd2a2cb.
The issue was that there was an attempt at calling
`uncollapse_by_default` on a `LayerViewItem`
which can't be collapsed (because it can't have any children).
This then triggered the assert.
The fix removes the call to `uncollapse_by_default` for
`LayerViewItem`.
It seems that the compiler on windows struggled to
correctly assign the namespace of the `LocalMemArena`
destructor because the struct was defined locally
in a lambda.
This moves the struct definition out of the lambda.
Fix a crash when inserting a key with tweak mode enabled, but where
`AnimData::actstrip` was NULL.
The root cause of this is that two pointers in the `AnimData` struct
(`act_track` and `actstrip`) are expected to be set when NLA tweak mode
is enabled, BUT these are not exposed to RNA and thus invisible to the
library overrides system. As such, they are NULL when loading from disk,
while the `ADT_NLA_EDIT_ON` flag still indicates they are to be used.
Rather than adding a NULL pointer check (and having to add that in many
more places), I used this two-pronged approach:
- Extend the 'NLA tweakmode' override apply code, to set the `act_track`
and `actstrip` pointers when they are incorrectly NULL. This is done
by lookup of the track and strip by name.
- Add versioning code to exit out of tweak mode whenever the
`ADT_NLA_EDIT_ON` flag is set, but those two pointers are still NULL.
The last step was necessary with the example file attached to the bug
report, as that was saved with a buggy blender version. New saves work
just fine.

This PR fixes several issues with the versioning that replaces the old
auto smooth flag with a modifier.
One issue is that the flag wasn't cleared in the initial versioning
code. That means some objects have the replacement modifier but their
meshes still have the flag set. The fix for that is to make the
versioning idempotent by trying to find an existing node group before
adding a new one. The versioning is now re-run on all objects to clear
the flags. Flags on all meshes are cleared too, even unused meshes.
That could cause loss of the auto-smooth when the mesh is linked from
a different blend-file, but that situation should be very rare.
Another issue was that the versioning wasn't run when linking objects.
That was simple to solve by adding the versioning where the proxy
versioning already existed for that case.
Finally, arguably the largest issue was that the the newly added node
groups were always added as local data-blocks. When linking, having
library data-blocks point to local data-blocks not in that library is
quite bad and breaks assumptions around Blender. This is solved by
having an auto smooth node group per library.

- Fixed issues to determine the film sample weight when `scaling_factor`

length of the same to large, what blurred the final samples.
NOTE: there are some other issues related to border rendering which was

Support for having an input and output socket in the same socket declaration
builder was added for the original node panels to be able to support inline
sockets. However, those were generally disabled for now. As can be seen in the
simulation and repeat zone, inline sockets can work differently too. Having an
input and output in the same socket declaration builder builder makes some
things simpler but makes other things much harder. For example, the current
design wouldn't work all that well if the input and output socket has different
types. This is easier to do with the `align_with_previous_socket` approach.
I'm not yet entirely sure whether we want to use the same approach for
corresponding sockets in the node tree interface, but that can be tried and

The `IndexMask` data structure was designed to allow us to implement set
operations like `union`, `intersection` and `difference` efficiently
(2cfcb8b0b8). This patch adds an evaluator for
arbitrary expressions involving the mentioned operations. The evaluator makes
use of the design of the `IndexMask` data structure to be quite efficient.
In some common cases, the evaluator runs in constant time. So it's very fast
even if the mask contains many millions of indices. If possible the evaluator
works on entire segments at once instead of looking at the individual indices.
This results in a very low constant factor even if the evaluation time is
linear. If the evaluator has to look at the individual indices to be able to
perform the operation, it can make use of multi-threading.
The evaluation consists of the following steps:
1. A coarse evaluation that looks at entire segments at once.
2. All segments that couldn't be fully evaluated by the coarse evaluation are
evaluated exactly by looking at the actual indices. There are two evaluators
for this case. One that is based on `std::set_union` etc. The other one first
converts the index masks to bit spans, then does bit operations to evaluate
the expression, and then converts the bits back into indices. Depending on
the expression, one or the other can be more efficient.
3. Construct an index mask from the evaluated segments.
Showing the performance of the evaluator is kind of difficult because it highly
depends on the input data. Comparing the performance to something that does not
short-circuit when there are full ranges is meaningless, because one can
construct an example where the new evaluator is arbitrarily faster. I'm still
working on a case where performance can be compared to e.g. using
`std::set_union`. This comparison is only fair when the input data when
constructing a case where the new evaluator can't short-circuit.
One of the main remaining bottlenecks are the calls to `slice_content` on large
index masks. I think the impact of those can still be reduced.
We are not using this evaluator much yet, except through `IndexMask::complement`
calls. I intend to use it when I get to refactoring the field evaluator for
geometry nodes to optimize the evaluation of selections.

This affect all local lights (non-sun light).
We hide the artifact caused by different tracing results from
two adjacent projection. This is visible as the shading point
switches projections.
We fix this by randomizing which shadow map projection (face)
to trace. We do that by using the point at half the ray instead
of the shading point to choose the projection. This gives
a soft enough look proportional to the light shape.
This also has the benefit of being stupidly simple.

This reverts commit c6497dd9f7.
This wasn't working the way I expected, it seems the LIB_TAG_NEW isn't
set here. Better to address the fundamental issues anyway. Sorry for
the noise.
For small confirmations that appear at mouse position, change the
position slightly so that the mouse pointer is less likely to obscure
the confirm button text.

When appending objects from an older file, versioning needs to run to add
an auto smooth modifier if necessary. However, this was running for all
objects rather than just the newly appended objects. It's quite wrong to
modify existing objects here, so add an explicit check for that. This could
improve performance as well, but skipping checks for objects when
the work is unnecessary.
The crash will hopefully be resolved by other improvements to the auto
smooth versioning (making it properly idempotent and running it again
should fix the problem with the hidden legacy flags still set). But I still think
this PR is worth committing, to be very explicit about only modifying new
objects in versioning code.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/119467
Previously I misunderstood the subsurf modifier's handling of custom
normals. The "use custom normals" check in 4.0 checked if there were
custom normals and whether the auto smooth flag was checked. I wrongly
changed that to check the mesh normals domain instead of whether there
was custom normals. In 4.1, auto smooth isn't required to use custom
normals, but that should be the only change here.
In this PR, that change is done for CPU and GPU subdivision, and for
the versioning which adds a modifier. The versioning now only puts the
new modifier before the subsurf modifier if it would have used the
custom normals interpolation in 4.0.
The last change causes two test failures which I also misunderstood
before. The previous results were arguably incorrect, because the
Cycles experimental adaptive subdivision ignored the auto smooth
angle, which was 5 degrees. It should have been 180 degrees.
I will modify those test files to remove auto smooth from the meshes.

When using mixed resolution rendering with an orthographic projection
the display was not correct. The reason was that the view boundaries
were decomposed from the winmat correctly, but when re-composing
the matrix it assumed to be in perspective.
This is fixed by composing an orthographic winmat when it was sourced
from a orthographic winmat.

On some GPUs/drivers (seemingly nvidia) and screen sizes, VSE
vectorscope and sometimes waveform have "garbage" artifacts around
them.
Root cause unknown (driver bug?), for now similar fix as a while ago

use alpha blending for the scopes texture display on top of that.

An alternative fix would be calling `update_on_change_` in the
attribute `try_create`function, but sticking with this more

This is a regression since d579ac2b3f
Ensure that the image buffers used by render passes have metadata at the
end of render, similarly to how stamping happens. This solves the reported
issue, and makes the metadata behave consistently, independent on how the
image buffer is accessed.

When drawing is visible in 3d-view and playhead is not over keyframe, in
such case erase tool is erases everything (or let's say it adds empty
keyframe). Erasing works correctly if additive drawing is enabled but
this is also expected to work when additive drawing is disabled.

With the recent changes introduced by the mixed resolution rendering
overscan and border rendering broke. Overscan is also used by the test
cases and fails the current tests.
This is a quick fix to get the overscan working.
NOTE: overscan + mixed resolution rendering will look blurry.
NOTE: this doesn't fix border rendering.
As part of PR #118396 the "generator" effect strips (color, text,
adjustment) also started to put their "raw" images into the cache.
However, seq_cache_timeline_frame_to_frame_index that has optimization
that tries to use only one cache entry based on how many frames are
present in the strip was not expecting to see effect strips, ever.
As a result, something like adjustment layer would effectively just
cache a single frame, since it has no "source frames" to speak of.
Fixed that by only doing this optimization for non-effect strips.
Similar to the recently introduced `Solver` enum. This is just friendlier
and doesn't require including `DNA_node_types.h` in the geometry
module header. There's no strong benefit to declaring these enums in
DNA in practice.
This adds a "Solver" option to the geo boolean node, with the options
Exact and Float.
The current geo boolean node only uses the Exact solver.
This adds the ability to use the faster original floating point boolean solver.
The float solver has issues with coplanar and other coincident geometry,
but is generally much faster than the Exact solver, and users have asked
for this option (which is available in the Boolean Modifier and edit mode
boolean tool).
Like the modifier, the Float solver needs to convert the Mesh to BMesh,
do the operation, and then convert back to Mesh. It also has to do it
iteratively if more than two operands are supplied.
This is the first of a planned series of commits that will add a
new exact boolean solver, based on the Ember paper, as a solver option.
Ember will be much faster than the current exact solver, but may still not
be as fast as float, and also will not handle some non-volume-enclosing
inputs as well as Float, so it is likely that the Float solver will always remain.
We may eventually retire the old Exact Solver, however.
This commit also prepares for more sensible code in the future by
changing the internal enum names for the solvers to better reflect the
algorithms used: Fast -> Float, and Exact -> Mesh_Arr (which means
"Mesh Arrangments, the name of the paper upon which the current
exact solver is based).

Fix for a crash after undo "Mask slice to new object"
When creating a new mesh object in the mask slice operator in
sculpt mode it caused a crash when undo to the initial undo step.
Moreover saving the sculpt undo state seems not necessary in
this function since undo/redo doesn't really work reliably for this
operator from the start, but there is nothing can be done about it
without systemic changes.

The IMB_dupImBuf() function does not copy the GPU texture as it might
not be possible if the GPU context is not active, but it also was not
clearing the pointer in the result ImBuf. This could potentially lead
to situation when the texture gets freed via IMB_freeImBuf of either
original or copied image buffer, leaving the other pointing to a freed
GPU texture.
It is not known whether it ever was an actual problem for artists,
but it is nice to avoid such possibility.

This fixes an issue where the `use_masks` functions on layers
and groups returned the wrong value.
The issue was that the root group doesn't have this flag set
which then propagates to all the layers and groups.
To fix this we invert the `GP_LAYER_TREE_NODE_USE_MASKS` flag (now called `GP_LAYER_TREE_NODE_HIDE_MASKS`).
The API still uses the `use_masks` function.
The Metal shader compiler was previously fully unrolling
lightprobe sampling, resulting in long compile times of
70+ seconds and high instruction counts.
Implementing Chunked unrolling to retain benefits of
unrolling e.g. latency hiding, while reducing register
pressure and improving compile time significantly.
(Only 800ms vs 70,000ms).

- Remove the unnecessary `ContainerValue` from the class hierarchy
- Construct `StringValue` with a `std::string` by value to avoid copies
- Remove some indirection by using type names directly instead of aliases
- Use utility methods to lookup/append specific data types for arrays/dicts
- Simplify conversion from unique_ptr to shared_ptr
- Avoid use of `new` and `delete`
- Avoid creating maps of all elements in vector for a single lookup
The `AssetEntryReader` and `AssetEntryWriter` classes were only used
once and just added indirection hiding the actual logic of reading and writing
asset metadata from the index. It also hid double map lookups and extra
string copies/allocations.
Changes:
- Add Vert Slide and Edge Slide to 'UV -> Transform' menu.
- Add a separator for Vert Slide and Edge Slide in the context menu.
- Don't display the "Correct UVs" option in the Redo menu of UV Editor.
It's typically only worth specifying specific captures when the lambda

as a FunctionRef as an iteration callback, we can use a less complex

That commit was an optimization attempt to reuse the depth buffer
updated by the engines.
But it fails when `GPU_clear_depth` is called for gizmos.
So, due to error proneness, revert that solution for now.

EEVEE-Next performes less on integrated GPUs then discrete GPUs.
Most shaders have been analyzed, but there will always be bottlenecks
related to architectural differences.
In order to make EEVEE-Next run smooth on integrated GPUs this change
will implement viewport pixel size option similar to Cycles. The main difference
is that the samples will still be weighted and up-sampled to the final film
resolution. This makes the pixels not look squared in the viewport but will
resolve to something close to the results without up-scaling.
This improves the performance especially on integrated GPUs. The improvement
for discrete GPUs are less noticeable. See here the stats when playing
`rain_restaurant.blend` back on a RAPHAEL_MENDOCINO iGPU.
| Pixel size | Frames per second |
|------------|-------------------|
| 1x | 0.25 FPS |
| 2x | 4.14 FPS |
| 4x | 6.90 FPS |
| 8x | 9.95 FPS |
