Change 3186089 on 2016/11/03 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Duplicate CL #3169764:
Fixed automatic conversion of G8_sRGB into RGBA8_sRGB required for Mac Metal, which fixes FORT-27627.
#jira FORT-27627
Change 3186113 on 2016/11/03 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Duplicate CL #3183807:
Change the way we access the Metal viewport's backbuffer, to reduce possible causes of FORT-31649:
- Added console variable "rhi.Metal.SupportsIntermediateBackBuffer" to control whether to use an extra render-target so we can support screenshots & movie capture, or render directly to the back-buffer to save memory & GPU performance. Still defaults to ON for Mac & OFF for iOS/tvOS.
- Change the way we handle updates to the back-buffer size to ensure that the different threads access their intended version.
#jira FORT-31649
Change 3186116 on 2016/11/03 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Duplicate CL #3183823:
Record Metal resource & state objects used in a command-buffer when rhi.Metal.RuntimeDebugLevel is set to 3 or higher. The object labels, types & descriptions will be printed on failure - if the object is deleted prior to this then we have a lifetime error and it will crash at this point and can be debugged further using our -metalretainrefs command-line option or Xcode's zombie-objects.
Used to verify that FORT-31649 is not a simple resource lifetime error and thereby speed up Apple/vendor investigations.

Change 3209265 on 2016/11/23 by Arne.Schober
DR - originally unshelved from 3153924 - Made Depth and Velocity Rendering Passes to use PSO only RHI interface,
We are now passing down two structs that collect all the necessary information for the drawing policies to construct a PSO object.
One during construction of the Policy, which contains information abouyt the CullMode, FillMode and PrimType.
And another during rendering that passes infomation like BlendState and DepthStencilState down to the low levelrenderer into SetSharedState.
Performance of the static drawlist ist slightly slower (less than 0.1ms on Consoles) due to some addtional branches and copies. The branches in the FDrawingPolicyRenderState will go away as soon as everything is converted to use the PSO interface.
Performace of the GPU is slightly better due to less context rolls (mainly CullMode sorts in differently now)

Changes from UE4-DX12:
*** CL 3183818 ***
Update D3D12 RHI to 4.14:
- Merged changes from Epic up until 10/20/16
- Fixed an issue where command allocators where resetting too early. I changed to aggressive command list batching by default now that more SubmitCommandListHint calls exist in the upper engine, we don't need to worry about starving the GPU. Fewer ExecuteCommandLists calls means better performance and fewer Signals() so this change provides a GPU perf win.
I had to fix an issue with aggressive batching where we would sometimes hold on to a command list long enough (in the pending list) but hadn't executed it yet. The command allocator was being put back in the queue of allocators during ReleaseCommandAllocator() without a syncpoint set and was thus being reset too early. I added a simple counter to the command allocator so it could track how many command lists were using it. It doesn't need to be thread safe since only one thread uses a command allocator at a time.
I also added some stats around the # command lists and # command allocators since it would be possible to leak command allocators now if it's pending command list count isn't decremented correctly. In that case we'd keep creating new command allocators and eventually run out of memory.
-Remove clear during allocate in the FD3D12FastConstantAllocator and FD3D12FastAllocator. The supplied resource locations are assumed to be new and thus don't need to be cleared.
-Cleanup D3D12RHI stats. There were some unused stats as well as some missing ones.
-Mark shader resource table uniform buffers as dirty only when the shader changes. Cleanup SetComputeShader calls and Dispatch calls to not set/unset the CS for each Dispatch.
-Remove unused Check SRV resolved code that epic added to the D3D11 RHI and was brought over. We dont need it and we won't use this.
-Remove "always on" cycle counters for high frequency RHI methods like RHISetShaderTexture. These should use the engine's stat macros as they are removed on TEST + SHIPPING builds. On Xbox a significant amount of CPU time is spent in things like QueryPerformanceCounter even when STATS aren't enabled. Currently 1% of an entire capture on XBOX is spent inside this call.
I improved and cleaned up high freqency call stacks like:
- RHISetShaderTexture
- RHISetShaderResourceViewParameter
- RHISetShaderParameter
- RHISetUAVParameter
In general I moved to use templated functions, removed unused parameters, unnecessary copies, etc.
-Change D3D12 PIX profiling enable/disable to match Xbox and handle logic in the UEBuildWindows.cs for UBT. Also add a static assert to inform the developer when PIX profiling is requested but the engine is compiling out draw events.
-Resources should be associated with the rendering thread's frame that it's currently recording command lists for and they shouldnt be cleaned up until those command lists have been translated to D3D12 command lists on the RHI thread AND completed executing on the GPU. This was confirmed to resolve an issue where CBV resources were being released too early.
This work involved a couple changes:
1) Move the "frame" fence to be incremented on the rendering thread (during RHIAdvanceFrameForGetViewportBackBuffer()) so that resources that are deleted from the rendering thread are assosicated with the correct frame count
2) Queue up a command from the rendering thread to signal the "frame" fence. It needs to be queued to ensure that it's signaled at the correct time on the RHI thread (after that frame's command lists have been executed).
-Disable GRHIRequiresEarlyBackBufferRenderTarget. Metal/Vulkan/Xbox11.x already do this. This is used by the Slate renderer during BeginRenderFrame and avoids a SetRenderTargets call.
-Enable GRHISupportsMSAADepthSampleAccess (used in the Editor). This was enabled for D3D11 on SM5, but not for D3D12.
-Delay load D3D12.dll and add root signature 1.1 support.
-Add explicit flush calls to improve resource barrier batching instead of implict flushes inside FConditionalScopeResourceBarrier and FScopeResourceBarrier. Also update those classes with const members.

Fix the D3D12 RHI after integrating UE 4.14 updates:
- Fixed a bug where we would try to get the PSO of a nullptr in SetPipelineState if we needed to reset the current PSO on the cmd list.
- Fixed a spelling error
- Removed the need for bForceState, we use dirty bits now
*** CL 3183830 ***
- GetDebugFlags RHI extension, needed by XB1 movie player.
- Only query memory info if stats are enabled
- Add support for the engine's new RHISubmitCommandsAndFlushGPU function
- Update CommitPendingPipelineState to be Graphics/Compute specific and avoid the need for a IsCompute parameter.
*** CL 3183837 ***
Made PipelineState caches contain pointers to FD3D12PipelineState objects to avoid issues with using pointers to after Find/Add to the maps. TMap indicates that the pointer to the value associated with a key "is only valid until the next change to any key in the map." The lifetime of the PSO pointers is managed by the low level caches (graphics and compute). Added stat for the number of Pipeline State Objects.
*** CL 3183931 ***
Update Windows D3D12 headers and libs to RS1 release bits (10.0.14393.0)
*** CL 3183978 ***
Update UBT Windows build settings:
- Change D3D12 PIX profiling enable/disable to match Xbox and handle logic in the UEBuildWindows.cs for UBT. Also add a static assert to inform the developer when PIX profiling is requested but the engine is compiling out draw events.
-Delay load D3D12.dll and add root signature 1.1 support.
*** CL 3184132 ***
Fix Xbox PSO cache code where it could leak PSOs. Related to change 3183837.
*** Changelist 3211714 ***
Update D3D12 RHI with fixes:
- Check if we can reserve slots in GatherUniqueSamplerTables
- DirtyState more often in StateCache
- Remove InternalSetSamplerState. The alternate function isn't used.
- Allow MRTClear for arrays with holes in them
- Fix uninitialized descriptors. This was causing a GPU hang on Xbox. We need to set dirty bits for resources bound to slots outside of the current descriptor table's range
- Cleanup SetDescriptorHeap code. Move setting descriptor heap logic to the descriptor cache since it also owns things like the sampler maps. Added members to the descriptor cache to track the last heaps that were set on the command list to avoid dirtying bit unnecessarily.
- Resource transitions: go through Common between queues (3D <--> Compute)
- Fix initial state for placed resources.
- Merging epic

Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Change 3170391 on 2016/10/21 by Ben.Woodhouse
Remove the wait on end of frame ensure, because we can't rely on all the the underlying codepaths to never miss a call to flush RHI resources. The consequences of missing a flush on a given frame are not serious now, since we enforce the synchronisation with a fence, preventing the rendering thread from getting too far ahead. We will simply accumulate resources for an additional frame when this happens.

* New StaticMeshComponent properties bCastDynamicIndirectShadow and DynamicIndirectShadowMinVisibility
* New WorldSettings property DynamicIndirectShadowsSelfShadowingIntensity which replaces the cvar
* The GBuffer now stores HasDynamicIndirectShadowCasterRepresentation instead of HasHeightfieldRepresentation
* DFAO from landscape is now done through the global distance field entirely. Landscape contribution to the global distance field is deferred to attempt to workaround texture streaming issues.

Change 3163562 on 2016/10/14 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Tidy up and extend the Metal debugging options:
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferScribble which when enabled will fill freed buffer regions with 0xCD to help identify any areas where we are writing to a buffer while it is still being processed on the GPU.
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferZeroFill which will zero-fill newly allocated buffer regions before any other data is read/written. Useful for catching cases where we might be reading uninitialised memory.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourcePurgeOnDelete which will purge the backing store of resources prior to releasing them back to the system or the respective pool. This will make any use-after-free conditions much more likely.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourceDeferDeleteNumFrames to defer releasing resources to the system or the resource pool by the specified number of frames (in addition to the current policy of waiting for the current end of frame & command-buffer completion). Useful for tracking down resource lifetime errors.
- Fixed a number of bugs related to the modifications to vertex stream handling and addition of the SetShaderBytes API.
- Track the start & end of FRingBuffer ranges - it appeared that the ring-buffer usage was invalid but it was in fact only my assumptions about the range that needed to be scribbled for rhi.Metal.BufferScribble. There is still the possibility that command-buffers that are implicitly parallelised by the driver may cause the ring-buffer range tracking to go awry - but with our data dependencies and the separation of the async. compute context I don't believe this is likely.
- Fix up the "nometalv2" flag so that we can disable the features only available on iOS/tvOS-10/macOS-10.12 on newer devices to save having to reboot all the time.
- Fixed the flickering geometry when enabling rhi.Metal.RuntimeDebugLevel=4 which breaks render passes into separate command-buffers - the occlusion query was waiting on the wrong command buffer in this case.

Change 3122544 on 2016/09/13 by Ben.Woodhouse
Shadow stencil optimisation with cvar (enabled by default)
Avoids redundant clearing the stencil buffer for per-object and pre shadows by zeroing the stencil during testing, following discussion on UDN.
This means we don't benefit from Hi Stencil on GCN for the shadow projection draw calls, but it's still faster in all the cases I could find, including for the player character where the bounding box is quite large. (Note: early stencil still works fine, according to PIX)
Shadow projection GPU time profiling :
Test map with 35 characters, stationary directional light
- 4ms-2ms on XB1
- 2.5ms to 0.9ms on PC (r9-390X)
- 3ms-2ms on PS4
Paragon PS4 (roughly 20% reduced - from ~0.39ms)

Change 3127130 on 2016/09/15 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Add overloads to as* functions in hlslcc - HLSL allows you to call these on variables of the same type, in which case it simply returns the existing value but we had only defined the float<->u/int conversions, so hlslcc added implicit casts that broke such cases (i.e. asuint(uint) -> floatBitsToUint(float(uint))). This change defines the missing overloads as returns with regular casts.

Fix for ensure fail when initializing point light shadowmaps.
This came about because cubemap rendertargets always have Extents of (Resolution, 0). The Y component was implicitly used to determine if it was a cubemap, which is odd... The fix was to make the definition explicit via a flag and initialize both the X and Y parameters.
I suspect the ensure started happening recently due to a more recent change, but fixing the underlying logic seems like the correct fix.

For GLSL interpolation mode flags must come before storage mode flags and you can't redeclare the system variable gl_Layer to use a differing interpolation mode.

Change the ShaderCache to not cache resource bindings in the draw states for shader platforms that don't care - reduces the number of draw states considered significantly without reducing effectiveness.

Change 3131625 on 2016/09/19 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Inside MetalRHI add an optional cache for disposed texture objects so we may reuse them - controlled by CVAR rhi.Metal.TextureCacheMode which must be set prior to running as it can't be changed at runtime. Settings: 0 = off, 1 (default) = will attempt to reuse private memory texture objects within the frame they are released otherwise they are disposed of as before. Setting 2 extends the caching to all textures - though Managed/Shared textures cannot be reused until after the frame in which they were released has been processed on the GPU. In this mode id<MTLTexture> objects are never returned to the OS so in order to conserve VRAM calls to setPurgeableState are made to allow the driver to reclaim unusued memory if required.

Add stats to track exactly how many command buffers are allocated and committed each frame to work out why Fortnite on AMD is hanging, which turns out to be because each texture update/reallocation ends up in its own command-buffer. This needs to be rethought to pack these into fewer command buffers with the same synchronisation requirements to minimise command-buffer splits but for now we'll just make the default sufficiently large that we shouldn't see the hang until the work is done. Also ensure that command-buffer failure is always fatal - there is no way to recover or continue if a command-buffer fails.

Lighting Scenarios and lightmaps moved to separate package
* Levels can be marked as lighting scenarios (eg Day, Night). Lighting is built separately for each lighting scenario with actors / lights in all other scenario levels hidden. Only one lighting scenario level should be visible at a time in game, and its lightmaps will be applied to the world.
* Most outputs of the lighting build now go into a separate _BuiltData package. This improves level Save and AutoSave times as the separate package will only be dirtied after lighting rebuilds.
* If a lighting scenario is present, all lightmaps are placed inside it's _BuiltData package. This means that only the currently loaded lighting scenario's lightmaps will be loaded (Day or Night, but not both). This also means that lightmaps for a streaming level will not be streamed with it.
* For backwards compatibility, existing lightmaps are moved to a new _BuiltData package on load.
* Reflection captures and precomputed visibility were not moved to the separate package. Reflection captures are force updated on load of a lighting scenario level, which can increase load times.

Speculative fix for UE-34815; have yet to repro this but there's really only so many things it could be. I currently don't see how the sim resources could go away after queueing, so I'm replacing the check with an ensure and null checking the resource pointer.

Change Apple RHI initialisation to select the first compatible shader platform to decide which RHI to initialise. Internally in MetalRHI we must gracefully fallback to a lower feature-level when this initial selection is not available on the current device/OS, in which case we need to validate that the selected shader platform was actually packaged. The order of initialisation is different per-platform:
On Mac: Order of initialisation is the order listed in TargetedRHIs .ini specifications.
On iOS/tvOS: Order is explicit: Metal MRT > Metal ES 3.1 > OpenGL ES 2

DR - Proper support for int defines
Change 3142519 on 2016/09/27 by Arne.Schober
DR - [UE-33438] - Added a Project Setting to enable Skincache Shader Permuations. The Default value for the Skincache mode was changed to enabled. The reasoning behind this was that it will be auto disabled when Skincache Shaders are disabled, and runtime toggle is a debuging feature that mainly programmers are dealing with. The Recompute Tangents option in the Skinned Mesh is now automatically grayed out when no Skincache Shader Permuations are available.

Change 3142762 on 2016/09/27 by Uriel.Doyon
Added per static mesh and per skeletal mesh UV density data. The data is now saved and available in cooked builds.
The density are computed by the engine but can be overridden by the user in the material tabs.
Texture streaming intermediate component data is now per material instead of per lod-section.
New ViewModeParam in FSceneViewFamily allowing context specific param per viewmode.
This is currently used to show which UV channel and which texture index is being
shown in the texture streaming accuracy viewmodes.
This replaces r.Streaming.AnalysisIndex
Renamed texture streaming viewmodes:
MeshTexCoordSizeAccuracy -> MeshUVDensityAccuracy
MaterialTexCoordScalesAccuracy -> MaterialTextureScaleAccuracy
MaterialTexCoordScalesAnalysis -> OutputMaterialTextureScales
Improved UV density computation and viewmode.
LightmapUVDensity is now computed separately from UVChannel Density.
Fixed texture streaming for instanced static mesh component and derived types.

Change 3143822 on 2016/09/28 by Arne.Schober
DR - Refactoring of the ViewMatrices. Moved the Derived Matrices into the FViewMatrix struct. Made all members private do emphasize the static constness of that struct after creation. Renamed the heavy weight members on this struct to Compute*. Methods that modify The ViewMatrices have been renamed to Hack* to discurage their use in the future until a better solution for those problems is found. The ViewMatrix modification is especially misleading because it only changes the State of the ViewMatrices to read their Position from the Material Editior as if coming from the Lightsource (mainly for manual bilboards) as well as doing someting similar to generate CPU bilboards for shadows.

Fix minor memory leak (missing delete of RT Heartbeat thread)
Change 3093470 on 2016/08/18 by Ben.Woodhouse
Fix minor leak in FMonitoredProcess - the Thread member would get leaked if the FMonitoredProcess was cancelled, because it gets NULLed without deleting it. Fix is to add a bool to keep track of whether the thread is running, rather than using the Thread pointer.
Also fixes a race condition where the FMonitoredProcess::Thread member could get initialized after the thread had completed. This would cause IsRunning to never return false, even if the thread has completed, and the editor would hang on startup (this was fixed by setting bIsRunning to true before creating the thread)

Fully featured base pass reflection captures with blending and parallax correction
* Used in the forward renderer when materials opt-in to 'High Quality Reflections'
* Used in the deferred renderer for translucent 'Surface ForwardShading' materials
* Reflection captures are culled to a frustum space grid using the same reverse linked-list method as lights in the forward renderer
* Fixed grid culling in stereo / splitscreen
* The ReflectionEnvironment compute shader used in the deferred path also uses the culled grid now which reduces its cost from .93ms -> .70ms on 970 GTX. PS4 cost is about the same.
* Capsule indirect self-shadowing is now reduced in the forward path to match deferred, and both are controlled by r.CapsuleIndirectShadowSelfShadowIntensity
* SetupHZB is now skipped when SSAO / SSR / HZB are all disabled

Change 3099173 on 2016/08/24 by Ben.Woodhouse
Fixed various issues with subsurface profile, for checkerboard and non-checkerboard code paths
- Re-enable non-checkerboard skin by default
- Checkerboard issues fixed:
- Emissive lighting was being applied twice due to not taking checkerboard pattern into account
- Emissive lighting was modulated by basecolor in the recombine
- Metallic materials were contributing specular lighting to the diffuse channel
- Non-checkerboard fixes:
- Fix write mask during SkyLightDiffuse so alpha is updated correctly
- Metallic specular lighting was broken (specularColor was lerping to white instead of baseColor)
- Optimisation: Fall back to default lit for pixels where the opacity is 0.
- For non-checkerboard, this gives better handling of metallic/emissive for pixels where SSS is not required (non-CB RGBA encoding for diffuse/spec doesn't cope well with colored specular or emissive)
- For checkerboard, this gives similar results in terms of shading, but we get full-resolution shading on non SSS pixels
