Jon Leech 22a5a1459f Change log for October 6, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.124 spec update:
* Update release number to 124.

Github Issues:

  * Fix Makefile SPECREMARK macro to work when not building in a git tree
    (public issue 992).
  * Ignore pname:aspectMask for unused attachments in
    slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR valid usage statements (public pull
    request 1028).
  * Minor markup / spelling fixes (public pull requests 1035, 1045).

Internal Issues:

  * Fix markup in Valid Usage statement for slink:VkCreateFramebuffer
    (internal issue 1823).
  * Add a new <<synchronization-signal-operation-order, _signal operation
    order_>> section to the synchronization chapter which describes in
    detail the ordering guarantees provided by the API between fence and
    semaphore signal operations (internal merge request 3368).
  * Move generated `appendix/meta/` files into the Makefile GENERATED
    directory (internal merge request 3381).

New Extensions

  * `<<VK_KHR_shader_clock>>`
  * `<<VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore>>`

This extension provides functionality to use a logical device that consists
of multiple physical devices, as created with the
`<<VK_KHR_device_group_creation>>` extension.
A device group can allocate memory across the subdevices, bind memory from
one subdevice to a resource on another subdevice, record command buffers
where some work executes on an arbitrary subset of the subdevices, and
potentially present a swapchain image from one or more subdevices.

=== Version History
* Revision 1, 2016-10-19 (Jeff Bolz)
- Internal revisions
* Revision 2, 2017-05-19 (Tobias Hector)
- Removed extended memory bind functions to VK_KHR_bind_memory2, added
dependency on that extension, and device-group-specific structs for
those functions.
* Revision 3, 2017-10-06 (Ian Elliott)
- Corrected Vulkan 1.1 interactions with the WSI extensions.
All Vulkan 1.1 WSI interactions are with the VK_KHR_swapchain
extension.
* Revision 4, 2017-10-10 (Jeff Bolz)
- Rename "SFR" bits and structure members to use the phrase "split
instance bind regions".
