[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 4/6] anv: do not export the Vulkan API

[Emil Velikov]

From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov at collabora.com>

With version 1 of the Loader interface there is an internal/private symbol
(vk_icdGetInstanceProcAddr) which is used to retrieve all the API from the
Vulkan entrypoints from the ICD. Implying that exposing the Vulkan API is not
recommended.

Version 2 goes a step further explicitly forbiding the ICD from exposing Vulkan
symbols (and adding a negotiation API)

As a reference:
 - Nvidia 367.35
Missing negotiation API - version 1.
Exposes only vk_icdGetInstanceProcAddr.

 - AMD 16.30.3.306809
Have negotiation API - version 2,
Exposes vk_icdGetInstanceProcAddr.
Exposes a couple of Vulkan entry points - seems to be in violation with the spec.

Christian, can you ping/check with the relevant team if I'm missing something
or the driver indeed goes against the spec ?

Apart from the small reduction in binary size, we get rid of the ifuncs. The
latter was never checked at configure time, so things could have gone very
badly on platforms which lack support.
