This is to help debug and track memory usage for generic buffers. We
have similar for textures already since those require a name, but for
buffers the name is only for debugging proposes.
Simple workaround for some issues we've been having with AMD drivers hanging
and rendering systems unresponsive. Unfortunately this makes things a bit
slower, but its better than having to do hard reboots. Will be removed when
drivers have been fixed.
Define CYCLES_DISABLE_DRIVER_WORKAROUNDS to disable for testing purposes.
This does a few things at once:
- Refactors host side split kernel logic into a new device
agnostic class `DeviceSplitKernel`.
- Removes tile splitting, a new work pool implementation takes its place and
allows as many threads as will fit in memory regardless of tile size, which
can give performance gains.
- Refactors split state buffers into one buffer, as well as reduces the
number of arguments passed to kernels. Means there's less code to deal
with overall.
- Moves kernel logic out of OpenCL kernel files so they can later be used by
other device types.
- Replaced OpenCL specific APIs with new generic versions
- Tiles can now be seen updating during rendering
There is some define conflict between system headers and clew,
so delay include of clew.h as much as possible.]
This is something which needed to be done in the code before
the refactor, hopefully such change will still work.
Previously, it was only possible to choose a single GPU or all of that type (CUDA or OpenCL).
Now, a toggle button is displayed for every device.
These settings are tied to the PCI Bus ID of the devices, so they're consistent across hardware addition and removal (but not when swapping/moving cards).
From the code perspective, the more important change is that now, the compute device properties are stored in the Addon preferences of the Cycles addon, instead of directly in the User Preferences.
This allows for a cleaner implementation, removing the Cycles C API functions that were called by the RNA code to specify the enum items.
Note that this change is neither backwards- nor forwards-compatible, but since it's only a User Preference no existing files are broken.

The previous refactor changed the code to use a separate logging mechanism to support multithreaded compilation.
However, since that's not supported by any frameworks yes, it just resulted in bad logging behaviour.
So, this commit changes the logging to go diectly to stdout/stderr once again by default.
