The intention of this commit it to address issues mentioned in the
reports T43865,T50164 and T50452.
The code is based on Embree code with some extra vectorization
to speed up single ray to single triangle intersection.
Unfortunately, such a fix is not coming for free. There is some
slowdown for AVX2 processors, mainly due to different vectorization
code, which caused different number of instructions to be executed
and different instructions-per-cycle counters. But on another hand
this commit makes pre-AVX2 platforms such as AVX and SSE4.1 a bit
faster. The prerformance goes as following:
2.78c AVX2 2.78c AVX Patch AVX2 Patch AVX
BMW 05:21.09 06:05.34 05:32.97 (+3.5%) 05:34.97 (-8.5%)
Classroom 16:55.36 18:24.51 17:10.41 (+1.4%) 17:15.87 (-6.3%)
Fishy Cat 08:08.49 08:36.26 08:09.19 (+0.2%) 08:12.25 (-4.7%
Koro 11:22.54 11:45.24 11:13.25 (-1.5%) 11:43.81 (-0.3%)
Barcelone 14:18.32 16:09.46 14:15.20 (-0.4%) 14:25.15 (-10.8%)
On GPU the performance is about 1.5-2% slower in my tests on GTX1080
but afraid we can't do much as a part of this chaneg here and
consider it a price to pay for more proper intersection check.
Made in collaboration with Maxym Dmytrychenko, big thanks to him!

The title says it all actually. Gives up to 10% speedup on test scenes here
on i7-6800K.
Render times on GPU are unreliable here, but there might be some slowdown
caused by watertight nature of intersections.

This is a preparation work for the followup commit which wil l move
remaining parts of Woop intersection logic to an utility file.
Doing it as a separate commit to keep changes more atomic and easier
to bisect when/if needed.

Decoupled ray marching is not supported yet.
Transparent shadows are always enabled for volume rendering.
Changes in kernel/bvh and kernel/geom are from Sergey.
This simiplifies code significantly, and prepares it for
record-all transparent shadow function in split kernel.

We started to run out of bits there, so now we separate flags
which came from __object_flags and which are either runtime or
coming from __shader_flags.
Rule now is: SD_OBJECT_* flags are to be tested against new
object_flags field of ShaderData, all the rest flags are to
be tested against flags field of ShaderData.
There should be no user-visible changes, and time difference
should be minimal. In fact, from tests here can only see hardly
measurable difference and sometimes the new code is somewhat
faster (all within a noise floor, so hard to tell for sure).

Gives up to ~1% speedup again.
While it seems to be small, still nice since the code now is actually more
clean that it used to be before.

Some of the files were wrongly attributing code to some other
organizations and in few places proper attribution was missing.
This is mainly either a copy-paste error (when new file was
created from an existing one and header wasn't updated) or due
to some refactor which split non-original-BF code with purely
BF code.
Should solve some confusion around.

for QBVH

Using camel case for variables is something what didn't came from our original
code, but rather from third party libraries. Let's avoid those as much as possible.
|
|
BVH traversal is not really that much a geometry and we've got
quite some traversals now. Makes sense to keep them separate in
the name of source structure clarity.
