Erik Faye-Lund b416ae2023 docs: simplify format requirements 
When I initially started writing these lists, I expected the lists to be
much less uniform in what bits were required. Turns out I was wrong, and
this ended up really neat and orderly.

I'm sure we're missing some defacto requirements here and there,
especially for the early versions. This list is based on what we check
for in version.c, and it's better than nothing.

Suggested by Mike Blumenkrantz.

Zink
====
Overview
--------
The Zink driver is a Gallium driver that emits Vulkan API calls instead
of targeting a specific GPU architecture. This can be used to get full
desktop OpenGL support on devices that only support Vulkan.
Features
--------
The feature-level of Zink depends on two things; what's implemented in Zink,
as well as the features of the Vulkan driver.
OpenGL 2.1
^^^^^^^^^^
OpenGL 2.1 is the minimum version Zink can support, and will always be
exposed, given Vulkan support. There's a few features that are required
for correct behavior, but not all of these are validated; instead you'll
see rendering-issues and likely validation error, or even crashes.
Here's a list of those requirements:
* Vulkan 1.0
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``logicOp``
* ``depthClamp``
* ``depthBiasClamp``
* ``fillModeNonSolid``
* ``wideLines``
* ``largePoints``
* ``alphaToOne``
* ``shaderClipDistance``
* Instance extensions:
* `VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2`_
* `VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities`_
* Device extensions:
* `VK_KHR_maintenance1`_
* `VK_KHR_external_memory`_
OpenGL 3.0
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 3.0 support, the following additional requirements needs to be
supported:
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``independentBlend``
* Device extensions:
* `VK_EXT_transform_feedback`_
* `VK_EXT_conditional_rendering`_
OpenGL 3.1
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 3.1 support, the following additional ``VkPhysicalDeviceLimits``
are required:
* ``maxPerStageDescriptorSamplers`` ≥ 16
OpenGL 3.2
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 3.2 support, the following additional ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``
are required to be supported, although some of these might not actually get
verified:
* ``depthClamp``
* ``geometryShader``
* ``shaderTessellationAndGeometryPointSize``
OpenGL 3.3
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 3.3 support, the following additional requirements needs to be
supported, although some of these might not actually get verified:
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``occlusionQueryPrecise``
* Device extensions:
* `VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor`_
OpenGL 4.0
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.0 support, the following additional requirements needs to be
supported:
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``sampleRateShading``
* ``tessellationShader``
* ``imageCubeArray``
* Device extensions:
* `VK_KHR_maintenance2`_
* `VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model`
* Formats requiring ``VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT``:
* ``VK_FORMAT_R32G32B32_SFLOAT``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R32G32B32_SINT``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R32G32B32_UINT``
OpenGL 4.1
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.1 support, the following additional ``VkPhysicalDeviceLimits``
are required:
* `maxImageDimension2D` ≥ 16384
* `maxViewports` ≥ 16
OpenGL 4.2
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.2 support, the following additional requirements needs to be
supported:
* For Vulkan 1.2 and above:
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan11Features``:
* ``shaderDrawParameters``
* For Vulkan 1.1 and below:
* Device extensions:
* `VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters`_
* Formats requiring ``VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT``:
* ``VK_FORMAT_BC7_UNORM_BLOCK``
* ``VK_FORMAT_BC7_SRGB_BLOCK``
* ``VK_FORMAT_BC6H_SFLOAT_BLOCK``
* ``VK_FORMAT_BC6H_UFLOAT_BLOCK``
OpenGL 4.3
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.3 support, the following additional requirements needs to be
supported:
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``robustBufferAccess``
* ``multiViewport``
* Formats requiring ``VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT``:
* ``VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R16_UNORM``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R16G16_UNORM``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R16_SNORM``
* ``VK_FORMAT_R16G16_SNORM``
* ``VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT``
OpenGL 4.4
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.4 support, the following additional format needs to support
``VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VERTEX_BUFFER_BIT``:
* ``VK_FORMAT_B10G11R11_UFLOAT_PACK32``
OpenGL 4.5
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.5 support, the following additional ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``
are required to be supported
* ``shaderCullDistance``
OpenGL 4.6
^^^^^^^^^^
For OpenGL 4.6 support, the following additional ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``
are required to be supported
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
* ``samplerAnisotropy``
* Device extensions:
* `VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count`_
Debugging
---------
There's a few tools that are useful for debugging Zink, like this environment
variable:
.. envvar:: ZINK_DEBUG <flags> ("")
``nir``
Print the NIR form of all shaders to stderr.
``spirv``
Write the binary SPIR-V form of all compiled shaders to a file in the
current directory, and print a message with the filename to stderr.
``tgsi``
Print the TGSI form of TGSI shaders to stderr.
``validation``
Dump Validation layer output.
Vulkan Validation Layers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Another useful tool for debugging is the `Vulkan Validation Layers
<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/blob/master/README.md>`_.
The validation layers effectively insert extra checking between Zink and the
Vulkan driver, pointing out incorrect usage of the Vulkan API. The layers can
be enabled by setting the environment variable :envvar:`VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS` to
"VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation". You can read more about the Validation Layers
in the link above.
