While building the AVX kernel, util_avxf.h/avxb.h were using some AVX2 intrinsics,
these were never called, so it wasn't a run-time issue, but the intrinsics headers
on centos excluded the AVX2 prototypes when building the AVX kernel causing build errors.
This commit cleans up the improper usage of the AVX2 intrinsics and provides AVX
fallback implementations for future use.

The assembler template was backing up and restoring ebx, which is
fair enough. However, this did not prevent compiler for putting
result variables to ebx. This was causing data corruption.
In order to prevent this easiest solution is to list ebx in clobbers
for the assembly.
The script clearly states:
This makes the presumption that you are include al.h like
#include "al.h"
and not
#include <AL/al.h>
The reason for this is that the latter is not entirely portable.
Windows/Creative Labs does not by default put their headers in AL/ and
OS X uses the convention <OpenAL/al.h>.
This commit makes default precompiled OpenAL to be properly detected
and also removes hack on MacOS which was finding the OpenAL package but
then was overwriting include directory.
Note, that new audaspace in 2.8 is using expected #include <al.h>.

With small tiles, the repeated allocations on GPUs can actually slow down the denoising quite a lot.
Allocating the buffer just once reduces rendertime for the default cube with 16x16 tiles and denoising on a mobile 1050 from 22.7sec to 14.0sec.
Building the CUDA kernels takes quite a bit of memory, and when building all of
them the combined usage can be too much on some systems (especially VMs).
Therefore, this patch adds an option to force the build system to build them
sequentially by making each build step depend on the previous kernel.

- Device array sizes. Again, not under artists control, but is added to

There is no reason or justification to have helper functions as

There are probably more cases like that.
While changing the shading normal is a great way to add additional detail to a model, there are some problems with it.
One of them is that at grazing angles and/or strong changes to the normal, the reflected ray can end up pointing into the actual geometry, which results in a black spot.
This patch helps avoid this by automatically reducing the strength of the bump/normal map if the reflected direction would end up too shallow or inside the geometry.

The latest clang compiler (at least the one in Xcode 9.4.1) warns about the register keyword and macro expansions using defined().
Since these warnings come from third party code, we can't address them directly in Blender. Silencing them via #pramgas will

There is one legit place in the code where memcpy was used as an
optimization trick. Was needed for older version of GCC, but now
it should be re-evaluated and checked if it still helps to have
that trick.
In other places it's somewhat lazy programming to zero out all
object members. That is absolutely unsafe, at the moment when
less trivial class is used as a member in that object things
will break.
Other cases were using memcpy into an object which comes from
an external library. We don't control that object, and we can
not guarantee it will always be safe for such memory tricks
and debugging bugs caused by such low level access is far fun.
Ideally we need to use more proper C++, but needs to be done with
big care, including benchmarks of each change, For now do
annoying but simple cast to void*.
In C++ it is not really safe to memcpy objects, and newer GCC will warn
about this. However, we don't use our vector for unsafe-to-memcpy objects,
so just explicitly silence that warning.
All keyboard events were sending double key events (including modifiers)
when xinput was enabled with gnome (causing much confusion!).
I cant test if XIM works,
but this isn't useful to send double events, so disabling for now.
Not sure why exactly it is called a cleanup, the code was much more clear
and robust against possible missing return statements which are MANDATORY.
Missing return statement will:
- Cause two different BVH traversals to be run.
Not is happening currently, but if more BVH layouts are added, it will
become a problem.
- It is already causing assert() statements to fail, since functions are
no longer returning when they are supposed to.
If there is any measurable reason to keep this change, let me know.
Otherwise just stick to reliable/tested/robust code.

This patch adds support for IES files, a file format that is commonly used to store the directional intensity distribution of light sources.
The new IES node is supposed to be plugged into the Strength input of the Emission node of the lamp.
Since people generating IES files do not really seem to care about the standard, the parser is flexible enough to accept all test files I have tried.
Some common weirdnesses are distributing values over multiple lines that should go into one line, using commas instead of spaces as delimiters and adding various useless stuff at the end of the file.
The user interface of the node is similar to the script node, the user can either select an internal Text or load a file.
Internally, IES files are handled similar to Image textures: They are stored in slots by the LightManager and each unique IES is assigned to one slot.
The local coordinate system of the lamp is used, so that the direction of the light can be changed. For UI reasons, it's usually best to add an area light,
rotate it and then change its type, since especially the point light does not immediately show its local coordinate system in the viewport.

This save a little memory and copying in the kernel by storing only a 4x3
matrix instead of a 4x4 matrix. We already did this in a few places, and
those don't need to be special exceptions anymore now.
This is in preparation of making Transform affine only, and also gives us
a little extra type safety so we don't accidentally treat it as a regular
4x4 matrix.
The purpose of the previous code refactoring is to make the code more readable,
but combined with this change benchmarks also render about 2-3% faster with an
NVIDIA Titan Xp.
This is an issue with which value to trust: fps vs. tbr. They both cam be
somewhat broken. Currently the idea is:
- If file was saved with FFmpeg AND we are decoding with FFmpeg we trust tbr.
- If we are decoding with Libav we use fps (there does not seem to be tbr in
Libav, unless i'm missing something).
- All other cases we use fps.

would need to collect some amount of regression files to make further tweaks

This is more important now that we will have tigther volume bounds that
we hit multiple times. It also avoids some noise due to RR previously
affecting these surfaces, which shouldn't have been the case and should
eventually be fixed for transparent BSDFs as well.
For non-volume scenes I found no performance impact on NVIDIA or AMD.
For volume scenes the noise decrease and fixed artifacts are worth the
little extra render time, when there is any.
This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
Previously it was hardcoded for converting dense grids to OpenVDB grids
to reduce disk space usage.
This value is also useful for rendering engines to know, i.e. to
optimize ray marching.
Some other software cannot handle grid names with spaces in them. We still check for names with spaces so as to not break old
files.
This fixes T53802.
Similar to the Principled BSDF, this should make it easier to set up volume
materials. Smoke and fire can be rendererd with just a single principled
volume node, the appropriate attributes will be used when available. The node
also works for simpler homogeneous volumes like water or mist.

We now continue transparent paths after diffuse/glossy/transmission/volume
bounces are exceeded. This avoids unexpected boundaries in volumes with
transparent boundaries. It is also required for MIS to work correctly with

The main visible changes is that volumes will now be lit by the background
even at volume bounces 0, same as surfaces.

Burley SSS uses a bit of strange thing where the albedo and closure weight are
different, which makes the subsurface color act a bit like a subsurface radius
indirectly by the way the Burley SSS profile works.
This can't work for random walk SSS though, and it's not clear to me that this
is actually a good idea since it's really the subsurface radius that is supposed
to control this. For now I'll leave Burley SSS working the same to not break
backwards compatibility.
It is basically brute force volume scattering within the mesh, but part
of the SSS code for faster performance. The main difference with actual
volume scattering is that we assume the boundaries are diffuse and that
all lighting is coming through this boundary from outside the volume.
This gives much more accurate results for thin features and low density.
Some challenges remain however:
* Significantly more noisy than BSSRDF. Adding Dwivedi sampling may help
here, but it's unclear still how much it helps in real world cases.
* Due to this being a volumetric method, geometry like eyes or mouth can
darken the skin on the outside. We may be able to reduce this effect,
or users can compensate for it by reducing the scattering radius in
such areas.
* Sharp corners are quite bright. This matches actual volume rendering
and results in some other renderers, but maybe not so much real world
objects.
