Jon Leech 1ca0ea1ef0 Change log for July 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.22 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 22 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Translate the subpass self-dependency language into concrete
    validity statements, and added a validity statement about the
    restrictions on layout parameters (public issue 267).
  * Add validity requirement that
    slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:finalLayout and
    slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout must not be
    ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or
    ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED (public issue 268).
  * Clarify that slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:pResolveAttachments
    layouts are used. Make language consistent with other attachment
    arrays (public issue 270).
  * Changed 64-bit definition for
    dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE to work for x32 platform in
    +vk.xml+ and the resulting +vulkan.h+ (public issue 282).
  * Add missing error return code for
    flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
    flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 285)
  * Fix several cases of stext::VkStructName.memberName markup to
    stext::VkStructName::pname:memberName, to match other usage in the
    spec, and describe this markup in the style guide (public issue
    286).
  * Modified validity language generation script to avoid redundant
    common ancestor language if covered by generic parent language, and
    used `Both' instead of `Each' when appropriate (public issue 288).

Internal Issues:

  * Add language about behavior of flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when
    allocation fails due to fragmentation, a new error
    ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL, and a Note explaining the situation
    (internal issue 309).
  * For the features of code:PointSize, code:ClipDistance, and
    code:CullDistance, the SPIR-V capability is required to be declared
    on use (read or write) rather than on decoration (internal issue
    359).
  * Have desktop versions of GLSL respect precision qualification
    (code:mediump and code:lowp) when compiling for Vulkan. These will
    get translated to SPIR-V's code:RelaxedPrecision decoration as they
    do with OpenGL ES versions of GLSL (ESSL). The default precision of
    all types is code:highp when using a desktop version (internal issue
    360).
  * Add validity statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo specifying that
    multisampled images must be two-dimensional, optimally tiled, and
    with a single mipmap level (internal issue 369).
  * Add validity statements to slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo disallowing
    creation of images or image views with no supported features. Made
    some slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo validity statements more precise
    and consistent. Added a Note to the <<features,features>> chapter
    about formats with no features (internal issue 371).
  * Remove +manpages+ from default build targets. Nroff outputs
    containing imbedded latexmath will not render properly. Fixing this
    is a lot of work for limited use cases (internal issue 401).

Other Commits:

  * Fix flink:vkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:clearValueCount validity
    statement to be based on attachment indices rather than the number
    of cleared attachments
    (Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/issues/601).
  * Convert registry documentation from LaTeX to asciidoc source and
    rename from +src/spec/readme.tex+ to +src/spec/registry.txt+.
  * Fix lack of Oxford commas in validity language.
  * Lots of cleanup of generator scripts and Makefiles to move extension
    list for generator into the script arguments instead of the body of
    genvk.py, and express better dependencies between XML, scripts, and
    generated files.

VkSharingMode - Buffer and image sharing modes
C Specification
---------------
// refBegin VkSharingMode - Buffer and image sharing modes
Buffer and image objects are created with a _sharing mode_ controlling how
they can: be accessed from queues. The supported sharing modes are:
include::../api/enums/VkSharingMode.txt[]
Description
-----------
* ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE specifies that access to any range or
image subresource of the object will be exclusive to a single queue
family at a time.
* ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT specifies that concurrent access to any
range or image subresource of the object from multiple queue families is
supported.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT may: result in lower performance access to
the buffer or image than ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE.
====
Ranges of buffers and image subresources of image objects created using
ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE must: only be accessed by queues in the same
queue family at any given time. In order for a different queue family to be
able to interpret the memory contents of a range or image subresource, the
application must: transfer exclusive ownership of the range or image
subresource between the source and destination queue families with the
following sequence of operations:
1. Release exclusive ownership from the source queue family to the
destination queue family.
2. Use semaphores to ensure proper execution control for the ownership
transfer.
3. Acquire exclusive ownership for the destination queue family from the
source queue family.
To release exclusive ownership of a range of a buffer or image subresource
of an image object, the application must: execute a buffer or image memory
barrier, respectively (see slink:VkBufferMemoryBarrier and
slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier) on a queue from the source queue family. The
pname:srcQueueFamilyIndex parameter of the barrier must: be set to the
source queue family index, and the pname:dstQueueFamilyIndex parameter to
the destination queue family index.
To acquire exclusive ownership, the application must: execute the same
buffer or image memory barrier on a queue from the destination queue family.
Upon creation, resources using ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE are not owned
by any queue family. A buffer or image memory barrier is not required to
acquire ownership when no queue family owns the resource - it is implicitly
acquired upon first use within a queue. However, images still require a
<<resources-image-layouts,layout transition>> from
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED
before being used on the first queue. This layout transition can: either be
accomplished by an image memory barrier or by use in a render pass instance.
Once a queue family has used a range or image subresource of an
ename:VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE resource, its contents are undefined to
other queue families unless ownership is transferred. The contents may: also
become undefined for other reasons, e.g. as a result of writes to an image
subresource that aliases the same memory. A queue family can: take ownership
of a range or image subresource without an ownership transfer in the same
way as for a resource that was just created, however doing so means any
contents written by other queue families or via incompatible aliases are
undefined.
