Vulkan: Ensure we use cached memory for readPixels stagingBuffer

Previous CL crrev.com/c/5112759 does not solve the performance issue for
ChromeOS. The reason is that on more recent intel GPU, there is no
hostVisibleCachedCoherent heap. When we allocate staging buffer, we
specify CachedCoherent as the preferredFlags instead of requiredFlags.
This means we still end up getting UncachedCoherent since VMA tries to
respect coherent bits as first priority. This CL Changes CachedCoherent
to CachedPreferCoherent, and made Cached as required bit, thus ensures
the memory allocated is cached. Since coherent bit may not be honored,
thus we have to call invalidate/flush (which underline implementation
will check the bit and early out if no need).

Somehow on ARM GPU using cachedNonCoherent staging buffer causing many
test failures, even though we do call invalidate() after allocation, and
tests pass on all other GPUs. It almost indicates ARM driver have a bug
with invalidate() that it is not doing expected. But before I can be
sure and fixed, I added feature bit to keep ARM the old behavior, which
uses UnCached memory for readPixels which should suffer the performance
as well.

ANGLE - Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 to Vulkan, desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Future plans include ES 3.2, translation to Metal and MacOS, Chrome OS, and Fuchsia support.

Additionally, OpenGL ES 1.1 is implemented in the front-end using OpenGL ES 3.0 features. This version of the specification is thus supported on all platforms specified above that support OpenGL ES 3.0 with known issues.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the OpenGL ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011.

ANGLE has received the following certifications with the Vulkan backend:

  • OpenGL ES 2.0: ANGLE 2.1.0.d46e2fb1e341 (Nov, 2019)
  • OpenGL ES 3.0: ANGLE 2.1.0.f18ff947360d (Feb, 2020)
  • OpenGL ES 3.1: ANGLE 2.1.0.f5dace0f1e57 (Jul, 2020)
  • OpenGL ES 3.2: ANGLE 2.1.2.21688.59f158c1695f (Sept, 2023)

ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.5 specification.

ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.

Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Vulkan GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
