GLSLtoSPV takes an optional SPIRVCache, keyed on a 32-bit hash of the
source, stage and variant, plus the source length. A changed shader
simply misses. thin3d's shaders and the other fixed ones use a global
cache in PSP/SYSTEM/CACHE/vulkan_spirv.cache, loaded on first use and
saved after graphics init, when a game's cache is saved, and at
shutdown; it's flushed once it reaches 32 entries, about twice what a
session compiles, so outdated ones don't pile up. Game shaders keep
theirs in the .vkshadercache, ahead of the shader IDs so that the
compiles on load find it (version 60), and only what the session used
is saved.
A cold glslang costs about 40ms before its first shader here, and
0.3-0.9ms per shader after that.

imgui 1.92 hands the backend a list of dirty rectangles when its font atlas
grows, but thin3d could only replace a whole mip level, so every new glyph
re-uploaded the entire atlas.
Adds DrawContext::UpdateTextureRegions, taking a batch of regions so each
backend can submit them together:
- Vulkan: packs the regions into the push pool and issues a single
vkCmdCopyBufferToImage from the init command buffer, transitioning only
the level being written.
- OpenGL: new TEXTURE_SUBIMAGE init step. The existing sub-image path is a
render command needing an active render pass and a texture slot, which
doesn't fit here. Rows are packed caller-side since GLES2 lacks
GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH.
- D3D11: UpdateSubresource with a box, no staging texture needed.

Nothing has generated or used a geometry shader since the GS paths were removed
- GeometryShaderGenerator is gone, and ShaderWriter's BeginGSMain/EndGSMain had
no callers at all. Removes ShaderStage::Geometry and everything hanging off it:
the GS preambles and GSMain helpers in ShaderWriter, the stage mappings in all
three thin3d backends, the D3D11 geometry shader plumbing (curGS_, the pipeline
and module members, gs_4_0 compilation), CreateGeometryShaderD3D11, the unused
PipelineFlags::USES_GEOMETRY_SHADER and PipelineManagerVulkan's
UsesGeometryShader().
Also stop enabling the Vulkan geometryShader device feature, since we no longer
have any use for it.
Kept on purpose: the device feature is still listed in the feature dumps (like
other capabilities we don't use), and the Vulkan shader cache header keeps its
now-always-zero geometry shader count so the on-disk format stays compatible.
libretro/libretro_vulkan.cpp got PPSSPP's libretro core working with
RetroArch's Vulkan integration by globally monkey-patching PPSSPP's Vulkan
loader function pointers (vkCreateInstance, vkCreateDevice,
vkCreateSwapchainKHR, vkAcquireNextImageKHR, vkQueuePresentKHR,
vkQueueSubmit, etc.) so the unmodified VulkanContext class would end up
wrapping RetroArch's already-existing VkInstance/VkDevice instead of
creating its own, and so a fake VkSwapchainKHR (a self-managed array of
images synced against RetroArch's retro_hw_render_interface_vulkan
callbacks) could stand in for the real swapchain that libretro's Vulkan
model doesn't have. Flagged in-code as "a wacky wrapper".
Replaces that with first-class support in VulkanContext for the two things
libretro actually needs:
- Adopting an externally-created instance/device instead of faking
vkCreateInstance/vkCreateDevice: VulkanContext::CreateInstanceExternal()
adopts RetroArch's VkInstance; CreateDevice() gained optional
extraDeviceExtensions/extraRequiredFeatures params so RetroArch's
requirements get merged into a real vkCreateDevice() call;
ownsInstance_/ownsDevice_ flags (the latter set via
SetDeviceExternallyOwned()) mean DestroyInstance()/DestroyDevice() skip
the real vkDestroy* calls when something else owns the object, without
needing to intercept anything. VulkanLoader gained
VulkanLoadFromGetInstanceProcAddr() for bootstrapping from a
host-supplied proc-addr getter instead of dlopen/dlsym-ing the loader
ourselves - vkGetDeviceProcAddr is resolved via the real instance handle
(not NULL), since per the Vulkan spec it's not one of the handful of
commands queryable with a NULL instance.
- A pluggable presentation backend (Common/GPU/Vulkan/VulkanPresentation.h)
for hosts with no real VK_KHR_swapchain, replacing the fake-swapchain-
handle trick. VulkanContext::GetPresentation() is null by default, so
every existing platform's real-swapchain code path is untouched;
libretro/LibretroVulkanPresentation implements this interface directly
against retro_hw_render_interface_vulkan, as real class state instead of
file-scope globals. Several pieces of state that are normally only
populated as a side effect of ReinitSurface()/InitSwapchain() - the
graphics queue/queue family index (ChooseQueue() is entangled with
real-surface presentation-support checks), the swapchain format, and
the available present modes - needed presentation-aware fallbacks since
libretro never calls that real-surface path at all.
libretro/LibretroVulkanContext.cpp now drives VulkanContext's real, public
API directly - no more hijacked function pointers, no more fake surface or
swapchain. libretro/libretro_vulkan.cpp is deleted.
Verified with a full build+run in RetroArch (not just compile-time
checks): the libretro Makefile doesn't track header dependencies
(cl.exe doesn't support -MMD/-MP, and Makefile.common never sets up an
equivalent), so a `make clean` full rebuild is required after any header
change to avoid linking stale object code from before the change - several
of the fixes above were initially masked by exactly that.
Previously the exclusive fullscreen option in the settings screen was
guarded by a compile-time #ifdef VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive, which is
always true on Windows. It now uses a runtime fullScreenExclusiveSupported
cap derived from whether the extension is actually enabled by the driver.
Switching between borderless and exclusive fullscreen currently requires a
restart. This is because once DWM has claimed the window (any frames
presented), ALLOWED_EXT cannot re-engage exclusive mode on an existing
swapchain. A new process gets a fresh HWND that DWM has not claimed yet,
so ALLOWED_EXT works correctly at startup.
The proper fix is to use VK_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_APPLICATION_CONTROLLED_EXT
with vkAcquireFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT/vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT
to explicitly negotiate exclusive mode with DWM mid-session without needing
a restart. To be done in a follow-up.
Reported by Joseph on Discord.
Sometimes, things could align perfectly so allocations happend exactly
at the end of a pushbuffer. At the same time, we allow our vertex decoder to write an extra few
bytes if it needs to for speed. Unfortunately I missed this interaction,
resulting in some uncommon crashes that were especially common with
heavy-geometry things like modified GTA LCS with PS2 assets, for
example.
The problem was reported with Vulkan, but our OpenGL backend had the
same issue too.
