vulkan: 1.2.162.0 → 1.2.176.0

[kira-bruneau]

Motivation for this change

Update to the latest sdk version: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/releases/tag/sdk-1.2.176.0

This includes a change in vulkan-loader to support multiple Vulkan layers with the same name, but different library architectures: KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader#525. This can be used by MangoHud & vkBasalt to support 32bit Vulkan layers as a workaround for #101597.

Things done

• Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
• Built on platform(s)
  • NixOS
  • macOS
  • other Linux distributions
• Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
• Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  I tried this, but ran out of disk space, which is why I'm submitting this to staging. I was able to build my NixOS system with these changes and I haven't noticed any runtime problems.
• Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
• Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

pkg-config doesn't seem necssary to build most of these Vulkan projects. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

With this update I've also noticed a slight performance improvement in games with my RX 590 graphics card. Especially with Valheim, which was previously unplayable when launched with Vulkan.

[Ralith]

That's probably a coincidence; none of the code updated in this PR is on a hot path, by design.

[kira-bruneau]

@Ralith Oh yep sorry, it's definitely a coincidence. I reverted these changes, and I'm still noticing the performance improvements. Maybe from a recent linuxPackages_latest update?

[expipiplus1]

Thanks for the updates! I can't test these soon but it looks good to me!

Version 1.2.182.0 was just tagged as a SDK release, but I think it would make sense to handle that in a separate PR.

Thanks! I've opened the 182 bump here: #131299
