Jon Leech b557dd2167 Change log for December 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.96 spec update:
* Update release number to 96.

Public Issues:

  * Fix typo in `vk.xml` for `structextends` attribute of
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShadingRateImagePropertiesNV (public PR 870).
  * Fix links in optimized PDF output (public PR 879).

Internal Issues:

  * Add a link to GitHub contributors in the <<credits, Other Credits>>
    section (internal issue 808).
  * Clarify the behavior of command aliases described in the <<versions,Core
    Revisions>> and <<initialization-functionpointers, Command Function
    Pointers>> sections and the registry schema document with respect to
    whether they are or are not the same entry point, and what the behaviour
    of the ftext:vkGet*ProcAddr commands is for each alias (internal issue
    1462).
  * Update slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo valid usage statements for
    writing to code:Layer and code:viewportIndex to apply to any vertex
    processing stage (internal issue 1475).
  * Make sparse image creation optional for Y'C~B~C~R~ formats in the
    <<features-required-format-support, Required Format Support>> section
    and the <<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, Formats
    requiring sampler Y'C~B~C~R~ conversion for
    ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT image views>> table (internal issue
    1476).
  * Modify the valid usage statement for
    flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT::pname:vertexStride to use the
    pname:maxTransformFeedbackBufferDataStride limit rather than the
    pname:maxVertexInputBindingStride limit, which is a better match for
    transform feedback related operations (internal issue 1487).
  * Changed all members of slink:VkPhysicalDevicePCIBusInfoPropertiesEXT to
    have the `uint32_t` type. This is an imcompatible change to an EXT
    that's very recently released; although this is against usual Vulkan WG
    policy, we discussed and consider this an acceptable risk, but have
    polled the mesa-dev list in case there are use cases we missed (internal
    issue 1492).
  * Set spec vetsion to 1 for `VK_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1` and
    `VK_GOOGLE_decorate_string` in `vk.xml` (internal MR 2948).
  * Remove redundant valid usage statement `VkImageCreateInfo-pNext-02395`
    (internal MR 2950).
  * Add `check_spec_links.py` script, use it in Gitlab CI, and fix many
    minor markup issues discovered by the script (internal MR 2955).
  * Update `BUILD.md` to the current Ruby version (2.5.3), and make some
    corresponding updates to per-platform build instructions (internal MR
    2956).
  * Fix binding numbers and other details in
    flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplate.txt example code blocks
    (internal MR 2960).
  * Remove some nautovalidity="true" in `vk.xml` for NV extensions where
    it's clearly wrong (internal MR 2970).

== Indirect Commands Generation
[open,refpage='vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX',desc='Perform a reservation of command buffer space',type='protos']
--
Command space for generated commands recorded into a secondary command
buffer must: be reserved by calling:
include::../../api/protos/vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX.txt[]
* pname:commandBuffer is the secondary command buffer in which the space
for device-generated commands is reserved.
* pname:pProcessCommandsInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
slink:VkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsInfoNVX structure containing
parameters affecting the reservation of command buffer space.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX-commandBuffer-01329]]
The provided pname:commandBuffer must: not have had a prior space
reservation since its creation or the last reset.
* [[VUID-vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX-commandBuffer-01330]]
The state of the pname:commandBuffer must: be legal to execute all
commands within the sequence provided by the
pname:indirectCommandsLayout member of pname:pProcessCommandsInfo.

include::../../api/structs/VkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsInfoNVX.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:objectTable is the slink:VkObjectTableNVX to be used for the
generation process.
Only registered objects at the time
flink:vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX is called, will be taken into
account for the reservation.
* pname:indirectCommandsLayout is the slink:VkIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
that must: also be used at generation time.
* pname:maxSequencesCount is the maximum number of sequences for which
command buffer space will be reserved.
include::../../validity/structs/VkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsInfoNVX.txt[]
--
The generated commands will behave as if they were recorded within the call
to fname:vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX, that means they can inherit state
defined in the command buffer prior this call.
However, given the stateless nature of the generated sequences, they will
not affect commands after the reserved space.
Treat the state that can: be affected by the provided
sname:VkIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX as undefined:.
[open,refpage='vkCmdProcessCommandsNVX',desc='Performs the generation of commands on the device',type='protos']
--
The actual generation on the device is handled with:
include::../../api/protos/vkCmdProcessCommandsNVX.txt[]
* pname:commandBuffer is the primary command buffer in which the
generation process takes space.
* pname:pProcessCommandsInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
slink:VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX structure containing parameters
affecting the processing of commands.

include::../../api/structs/VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:objectTable is the slink:VkObjectTableNVX to be used for the
generation process.
Only registered objects at the time
flink:vkCmdReserveSpaceForCommandsNVX is called, will be taken into
account for the reservation.
* pname:indirectCommandsLayout is the slink:VkIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
that provides the command sequence to generate.
* pname:indirectCommandsTokenCount defines the number of input tokens
used.
* pname:pIndirectCommandsTokens provides an array of
slink:VkIndirectCommandsTokenNVX that reference the input data for each
token command.
* pname:maxSequencesCount is the maximum number of sequences for which
command buffer space will be reserved.
If pname:sequencesCountBuffer is dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE, this is also the
actual number of sequences generated.
* pname:targetCommandBuffer can: be the secondary slink:VkCommandBuffer in
which the commands should be recorded.
If pname:targetCommandBuffer is `NULL` an implicit reservation as well
as execution takes place on the processing sname:VkCommandBuffer.
* pname:sequencesCountBuffer can: be slink:VkBuffer from which the actual
amount of sequences is sourced from as code:uint32_t value.
* pname:sequencesCountOffset is the byte offset into
pname:sequencesCountBuffer where the count value is stored.
* pname:sequencesIndexBuffer must: be set if
pname:indirectCommandsLayout's
ename:VK_INDIRECT_COMMANDS_LAYOUT_USAGE_INDEXED_SEQUENCES_BIT_NVX is set
and provides the used sequence indices as code:uint32_t array.
Otherwise it must: be dlink:VK_NULL_HANDLE.
* pname:sequencesIndexOffset is the byte offset into
pname:sequencesIndexBuffer where the index values start.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-objectTable-01331]]
The provided pname:objectTable must: include all objects referenced by
the generation process.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-indirectCommandsTokenCount-01332]]
pname:indirectCommandsTokenCount must: match the
pname:indirectCommandsLayout's pname:tokenCount.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-tokenType-01333]]
The pname:tokenType member of each entry in the
pname:pIndirectCommandsTokens array must: match the values used at
creation time of pname:indirectCommandsLayout
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-targetCommandBuffer-01334]]
If pname:targetCommandBuffer is provided, it must: have reserved command
space.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-targetCommandBuffer-01335]]
If pname:targetCommandBuffer is provided, the pname:objectTable must:
match the reservation's objectTable and must: have had all referenced
objects registered at reservation time.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-targetCommandBuffer-01336]]
If pname:targetCommandBuffer is provided, the
pname:indirectCommandsLayout must: match the reservation's
indirectCommandsLayout.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-targetCommandBuffer-01337]]
If pname:targetCommandBuffer is provided, the pname:maxSequencesCount
must: not exceed the reservation's maxSequencesCount.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-sequencesCountBuffer-01338]]
If pname:sequencesCountBuffer is used, its usage flag must: have
ename:VK_BUFFER_USAGE_INDIRECT_BUFFER_BIT bit set.
* [[VUID-VkCmdProcessCommandsInfoNVX-sequencesCountBuffer-01339]]

Referencing the functions defined in <<indirectmdslayout>>,
fname:vkCmdProcessCommandsNVX behaves as:
[source,c]
---------------------------------------------------
// For targetCommandBuffers the existing reservedSpace is reset & overwritten.
VkCommandBuffer cmd = targetCommandBuffer ?
targetCommandBuffer.reservedSpace :
commandBuffer;
uint32_t sequencesCount = sequencesCountBuffer ?
min(maxSequencesCount, sequencesCountBuffer.load_uint32(sequencesCountOffset) :
maxSequencesCount;
cmdProcessAllSequences(cmd, objectTable,
indirectCommandsLayout, pIndirectCommandsTokens,
sequencesCount,
sequencesIndexBuffer, sequencesIndexOffset);
// The stateful commands within indirectCommandsLayout will not
// affect the state of subsequent commands in the target
// command buffer (cmd)
---------------------------------------------------
[NOTE]
.Note
====
It is important to note that the state that may be affected through
generated commands must: be considered undefined: for the commands following
them.
It is not possible to setup generated state and provoking work that uses
this state outside of the generated sequence.
