They are used by helper shaders, the intention is avoiding needing to recompile the shaders (from GLSL to SPIR-V) if the bindings changes on the translated guest shaders
* add avalonia support
* only lock around skia flush
* addressed review
* cleanup
* add fallback size if avalonia attempts to render but the window size is 0. read desktop scale after enabling dpi check
* fix getting window handle on linux. skip render is size is 0
Occlusion queries are usually used in a depth only pass so the attachments changing is a better indication of the query block ending.
Write mask changes are also considered since some games do depth only pass by setting 0 write mask on all the colour targets.
Clamp is unsupported on Vulkan, but ClampToEdge behaves almost the same. ClampToBorder on the other hand (which was being used before) is pretty different
Tries to reset returned queries in background when possible, rather than ending the render pass.
Still ends render pass when resetting a counter after draws, but maybe that can be solved too. (by just pulling an empty object off the pool?)
This path is only taken if the much faster check of "is the buffer rented at all" is triggered, so it doesn't actually end up costing too much, and the time saved by not ending render passes (and on gpu for not waiting on barriers) is probably helpful.
Avoids ending render passes to update buffer data (not all the time)
- 140-180 to 35-45 in SMO metro kingdom (these updates are in the UI)
- Very variable 60-150(!) to 16-25 in mario kart 8 (these updates are in the UI)
As well as allowing more data to be preloaded persistently, this will also allow more data to be loaded in the preload buffer, which should be faster as it doesn't need to insert barriers between draws. (and on tbdr, does not need to flush and reload tile memory)
Improves performance in GPU limited scenarios. Should notably improve performance on TBDR gpus. Still a lot more to do here.
