mesa won't pick client storage unless this bit is set, and we
*absolutely* want to be using client storage for our DR PBOs.
Performance is shit on AMD otherwise. (Nvidia always uses client storage
for persistent coherent buffers whether you tell it it or not, probably
because it's way faster and nvidia doesn't trust users to figure that
out on their own)
It makes no sense to have this on an already created buffer.
If anything, the ra backend would have to export this as a global value
(e.g. struct ra field), so that whatever allocates the buffer can
account for the required alignment. Since this code is in vo_opengl.c in
the first place, and since GL doesn't dictate any special alignment
here, it doesn't make sense in the first place to export this. (Maybe
something like this will be required later.)
Also add some more helpers.
Fix the broken math.h include statement.
utils.c uses ra_gl.h internals, which it shouldn't, and which will be
removed again as soon as this code gets converted to ra fully.
Format handling via ra_* was added earlier, but the format negotiation
part was forgotten.
Actually move some aspects of it to ra_get_imgfmt_desc(). Also make sure
the unorm and float formats selected by the common format lookup
functions are linear filterable. (For OpenGL, this is implicitly
guaranteed, so it wasn't done before.) Whether these assumptions should
be checked/enforced in the ra code at all is a bit fuzzy, but with ra
being helper code only for the actual video renderer, it's probably
justified.
This starts work on moving OpenGL-specific code out of the general
renderer code, so that we can support other other GPU APIs. This is in
a very early stage and it's only a proof of concept. It's unknown
whether this will succeed or result in other backends.
For now, the GL rendering API ("ra") and its only provider (ra_gl) does
texture creation/upload/destruction only. And it's used for the main
video texture only. All other code is still hardcoded to GL.
There is some duplication with ra_format and gl_format handling. In the
end, only the ra variants will be needed (plus the gl_format table of
course). For now, this is simpler, because for some reason lots of hwdec
code still requires the GL variants, and would have to be updated to
use the ra ones.
Currently, the video.c code accesses private ra_gl fields. In the end,
it should not do that of course, and it would not include ra_gl.h.
Probably adds bugs, but you can keep them.
