After the introduction of workahead a system to hold a single large megabuffer per submission was implemented, this worked fine for most cases however when many submissions were flight at the same time memory usage would increase dramatically due to the amount of megabuffers needed. Since only one megabuffer was allowed per execution, it forced the buffer to be fairly large in order to accomodate the upper-bound, even further increasing memory usage.
This commit implements a system to fix the memory usage issue described above by allowing multiple megabuffers to be allocated per execution, as well as reuse across executions. Allocations now go through a global allocator object which chooses which chunk to allocate into on a per-allocation scale, if all are in use by the GPU another chunk will be allocated, that can then be reused for future allocations too. This reduces Hollow Knight megabuffer memory usage by a factor 4 and SMO by even more.
The `Settings` class now has a pure virtual `Update` method, and uses inheritance over template specialization for platform-specific behavior override.
These applets are used by applications to display a custom error message to the user. Both the error message and the detailed error message are printed to the error log.

Certain GPU vendors such as ARM's Mali do not have support for BCn textures whatsoever while other vendors such as AMD only have partial support (BC1-BC3). Most titles on the guest utilize BC textures and to address this on host GPUs without support for BCn, we need to decompress the texture on the CPU. This commit implements a CPU BCn texture decoder based off Swiftshader's BC decoder, it also adds the necessary infrastructure to have different formats for the `GuestTexture` and `Texture` objects.
The API for texture swizzling is now more concrete and abstracted out from `GuestTexture`, this allows for neater usage in certain areas such as MaxwellDMA while having a `GuestTexture` wrapper as well allowing for neater usage in those cases.
The code itself has also been cleaned up slightly with all usage of `u32`s being upgraded to `size_t` as this is simply more efficient due to the compiler not needing to emulate wraparound behavior for integer types smaller than the processor word size.
The Fermi 2D engine implements both image blit and resolve operations, supporting subpixel sampling with both linear and point filtering.
Resolve operations are performed by sampling from the center of each pixel in order to resolve the final image from the MSAA samples
MSAA images are stored in memory like regular images but each pixels dimensions are scaled: e.g for 2x2 MSAA
```
112233
112233
445566
445566
```
These would be sampled with both duDx and duDy as 2 (integer part), resolving to the following:
```
123
456
```
Blit operations are performed by sampling from the corner of each pixel, scaling the image as one would expect.
This implementation isn't fully complete as Vulkan blit doesn't support some combinations which Fermi does, most notably between colour and depth stencil. These will be implemented properly at a later date, likely after the texture manager rework.
Out of Bounds Blit, used by some OpenGL games is also missing since supporting it requires texture aliasing, this will also be supported after the texture manager rework.

A basic `bcat:u` implementation to prevent titles such as "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" dependent on BCAT support from crashing due to the lack of an implementation.
Implements a cache for storing `VkFramebuffer` objects with a special path on devices with `VK_KHR_imageless_framebuffer` to allow for more cache hits due to an abstract image rather than a specific one.
Caching framebuffers is a fairly crucial optimization due to the cost of creating framebuffers on TBDRs since it involves calculating tiling memory allocations and in the case of Adreno's proprietary driver involves several kernel calls for mapping and allocating the corresponding framebuffer memory.
Implements a cache for storing `VkRenderPass` objects which are often reused, they are not extremely expensive to create generally but this is a required step to build up to a framebuffer cache which is an extremely expensive object to create on TBDRs generally since it involves calculating tiling memory allocations and in the case of Adreno's proprietary driver involves several kernel calls for mapping and allocating the corresponding memory.
Implements a cache for storing `VkPipeline` objects which are fairly expensive to create and doing so on a per-frame basis was rather wasteful and consumed a significant part of frametime. It should be noted that this is **not** compliant with the Vulkan specification and **will** break unless the driver supports a relaxed version of the Vulkan specification's Render Pass Compatibility clause.
Mostly based off of yuzu's implementation, this will need to be extended in the future to open up a UI for configuring controllers according to the applications requirements.
Skyline's `exception` class now stores a list of all stack frames during the invocation of the exception. These can later be parsed by the exception handler to generate a human-readable stack trace. To assist with more complete stack traces, `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` is now passed on debug builds which forces the inclusion of frames on function calls.
The DMA engine is used to perform DMA buffer/texture copies directly on the GPU. It can deswizzle arbritary regions of input textures, perform component remapping and swizzle into output textures.
This impl only supports 1D buffer copies, 2D ones will come later.
The Kepler compute engine is used to run compute jobs encapsulated in to QMDs on the GPU, this commit doesn't implement compute itself but adds the register and QMD structs that will be needed for it in the future.
Quirk terminology was deemed to be inappropriate for describing the features/extensions of a device. It has been replaced with traits which is far more fitting but quirks will be used as a terminology for errata in devices.
Fermi2D supports macros in addition to Maxwell3D, these both share code memory. To support this we rework the macro interpreter to support passing in a target engine and abstract the communications out into an interface that can be implemented by applicable engines.

The Buffer Manager handles mapping of guest buffers to host buffer views with automatic handling of sub-buffers and eventually supporting recreation of overlapping buffers to create a single larger buffer.
Implements infrastructure for using guest buffers on the host for rendering, a `BufferManager` is still missing which'd handle mapping from guest buffers to host buffers and will be subsequently committed. It should be noted that `BufferView` is also disconnected from `Buffer` and shared for every instance with the same properties like `TextureView` is now.
This class will be entirely responsible for any interop with the shader compiler, it is also responsible for caching and compilation of shaders in itself.
We want to utilize features from C++ 20 ranges but they haven't been entirely implemented in libc++ so in the meantime we use the reference implementation for it which is Ranges v3.
Maxwell3D Registers weren't initialized to the correct values prior, this commit fixes that by doing `HandleMethod` calls with all the register values being initialized. This is in contrast to the registers being set without calling the methods in `GraphicsContext` or otherwise resulting in bugs.
We require a way to track certain host GPU features that are optional such as Vulkan extensions, this is what the `QuirkManager` class does as it checks for all quirks and holds them allowing other components to branch based off these quirks.
A thread local LoggerContext is now used to hold the output file stream instead of the `Logger` class. Before doing any logging operations, a LoggerContext must be initialized.
This commit will not build successfully on purpose.
The Host1x block of the TX1 supports 14 separate channels to which commands can be issued, these all run asynchronously so are emulated the same way as GPU channels with one FIFO emulation thread each. The command FIFO itself is very similar to the GPFIFO found in the GPU however there are some differences, mainly the introduction of classes (similar to engines) and the Mask opcode (which allows writing to a specific set of offsets much more efficiently).
There is an internal Host1x class which functions similar to the GPFIFO class in the GPU, handling general operations such as syncpoint waits, this is accessed via the simple method interface. Other channels such as NVDEC and VIC are behind the 'Tegra Host Interface' (THI) in HW, this abstracts out the classes internal details and provides a uniform method interface ontop of the Host1x method one. We emulate the THI as a templated wrapper for the underlying class.
Syncpoint increments in Host1x are different to GPU, the THI allows submitting increment requests that will be queued up and only be applied after a specific condition in the associated engine is met; however the option to for immediate increments is also available.
host1x channels are generally similar to GPU channels however there is only one channel for each specific class (like a GPU engine) and an address space is shared between them all.
This PR implements the simple IOCTLs with the larger ones that will depend on changes outside of nvdrv being left for future commits. This is enough to partly run oss-nvjpeg.
To offset some of the performance overhead of using debug builds, we now optimize all libraries using `-Ofast` while building Skyline itself with `-O0`.
The version of libcxx shipped with Android NDK is fairly outdated and doesn't contain several features we desire such as C++ 20 ranges. This has been fixed by using libcxx directly from the LLVM Project which has been added as a submodule and can be updated independently of NDK.
We've moved to using a beta AGP as `7.0.2` is breaks `clangd` and other C++ features on Beta/Canary Android Studio. NDK was additionally updated with `mbedtls` to fix warnings caused by it alongside some other minor fixes to code for newer versions of libcxx.
The new AGP has a bug where it does not look for executables specified in `android_gradle_build.json` in `PATH` that includes `ninja` which is provided by the `ninja-build` package on the system rather than Android SDK's CMake on GitHub Actions (Ubuntu 20.04). This has been fixed by symlinking `/usr/bin/ninja` to the project root which is searched in for the `ninja` executable.
