Skip fast buffer uploads on Nvidia 443.24 Vulkan beta driver on OpenGL.
This driver throws the following error when calling BufferSubData or
BufferData on buffers that are candidates for fast constant buffer
uploads. This is the equivalens to push constants on Vulkan, except that
they can access the full buffer. The error:
Unknown internal debug message. The NVIDIA OpenGL driver has encountered
an out of memory error. This application might
behave inconsistently and fail.
If this error persists on future drivers, we might have to look deeper
into this issue. For now, we can black list it and log it as a temporary
solution.
Games using D3D idioms can join images and samplers when a shader
executes, instead of baking them into a combined sampler image. This is
also possible on Vulkan.
One approach to this solution would be to use separate samplers on
Vulkan and leave this unimplemented on OpenGL, but we can't do this
because there's no consistent way of determining which constant buffer
holds a sampler and which one an image. We could in theory find the
first bit and if it's in the TIC area, it's an image; but this falls
apart when an image or sampler handle use an index of zero.
The used approach is to track for a LOP.OR operation (this is done at an
IR level, not at an ISA level), track again the constant buffers used as
source and store this pair. Then, outside of shader execution, join
the sample and image pair with a bitwise or operation.
This approach won't work on games that truly use separate samplers in a
meaningful way. For example, pooling textures in a 2D array and
determining at runtime what sampler to use.
This invalidates OpenGL's disk shader cache :)

NV_transform_feedback, NV_transform_feedback2 and
ARB_transform_feedback3 with NV_transform_feedback interactions allows
implementing transform feedbacks as dynamic state.
Maxwell implements transform feedbacks as dynamic state, so using these
extensions with TransformFeedbackStreamAttribsNV allows us to properly
emulate transform feedbacks without having to recompile shaders when the
state changes.
On Intel's proprietary drivers, gl_Layer and gl_ViewportIndex are not allowed members of gl_PerVertex block, causing the shader to fail to compile. Fix this by declaring these variables outside of gl_PerVertex.
This avoids using Nvidia's ASTC decoder on OpenGL.
The last time it was profiled, it was slower than yuzu's decoder.
While we are at it, fix a bug in the texture cache when native ASTC is
not supported.
Previously we were disabling compute shaders on Intel's proprietary driver due to broken compute. This has been fixed in the latest Intel drivers. Re-enable compute for Intel proprietary drivers and remove the check for broken compute.
Geometry shaders built from Nvidia's compiler check for bits[16:23] to
be less than or equal to 0 with VSETP to default to a "safe" value of
0x8000'0000 (safe from hardware's perspective). To avoid hitting this
path in the shader, return 0x00ff'0000 from S2R INVOCATION_INFO.
This seems to be the maximum number of vertices a geometry shader can
emit in a primitive.
