This reverts commit 4ae315b0d11882f341c22147672e1661bcb3b7d7.

Reason for revert: crbug.com/1059205

Bug: chromium:1059205

Original change's description:
> Vulkan: Report and enable subgroup size control device extension.
> 
> Certain Vulkan ICDs (Intel ones notably) will compile SPIR-V
> shaders with an liberal, compiler-selected, subgroup size (i.e.
> either 8, 16 or 32). For more context, see [1].
> 
> This can be a problem for compute, when one shader stores data
> in device memory using a subgroup-size dependent layout, to be
> consumed by a another shader. Problems arise when the compiler
> decides to compile both shaders with different subgroup sizes.
> 
> To work-around this, the VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control device
> extension was introduced recently: it allows the device to
> report the min/max subgroup sizes it provides, and allows
> the Vulkan program to control the subgroup size precisely
> if it wants to.
> 
> This patch adds support to the Vulkan backend to report and
> enable the extension if it is available. Note that:
> 
> - The corresponding VkStructureType enum values and
>   struct types are not rolled to the third-party Vulkan
>   headers used by Dawn yet, so vulkan_platform.h has been
>   modified to define them if necessary. This can be
>   removed in the future when the Vulkan-Headers are
>   updated in a different patch.
> 
> - This modifies VulkanDeviceInfo::GatherDeviceInfo() to
>   use VkGetPhysicalDevice{Properties2,Features2} if the
>   VK_KHR_get_device_properties2 instance extension is
>   available. Otherwise, the Vulkan 1.0 APIs
>   VkGetPhysicalDevice{Properties,Features} are used instead
>   (and it is assumed that no subgroup size control is
>   possible).
> 
> - This changes the definition of VulkanDeviceKnobs to
>   make room for the required pNext-linked chains of
>   extensions.
> 
> - A helper class, PNextChainBuilder is also provided in
>   UtilsVulkan.h to make it easy to build pNext-linked
>   extension struct chains at runtime, as required when
>   probing device propertires/features, or when
>   creating a new VkDevice handle.
> 
> Apart from that, there is no change in behaviour in this CL.
> I.e. a later CL might force a specific subgroup size for
> consistency, or introduce a new API to let Dawn clients
> select a fixed subgroup size.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation

Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress WebGPU standard. More precisely it implements webgpu.h that is a one-to-one mapping with the WebGPU IDL. Dawn is meant to be integrated as part of a larger system and is the underlying implementation of WebGPU in Chromium.

Dawn provides several WebGPU building blocks:

  • WebGPU C/C++ headers that applications and other building blocks use.
    • The webgpu.h version that Dawn implements.
    • A C++ wrapper for the webgpu.h.
  • A “native” implementation of WebGPU using platforms' GPU APIs:
    • D3D12 on Windows 10
    • Metal on macOS and iOS
    • Vulkan on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia
    • OpenGL as best effort where available
  • A client-server implementation of WebGPU for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
