mesa: Fix corner cases of BindBufferBase with transform feedback.
This patch implements the following behaviours, which are mandated by
the GL 4.3 and GLES3 specs.
1. Regarding the GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_SIZE query: "If the
... size was not specified when the buffer object was bound
(e.g. if it was bound with BindBufferBase), ... zero is returned."
(GL 4.3 section 6.7.1 "Indexed Buffer Object Limits and Binding
Queries").
2. "BindBufferBase binds the entire buffer, even when the size of the
buffer is changed after the binding is established. It is
equivalent to calling BindBufferRange with offset zero, while size
is determined by the size of the bound buffer at the time the
binding is used." (GL 4.3 section 6.1.1 "Binding Buffer Objects to
Indexed Targets"). I interpret "at the time the binding is used"
to mean "at the time of the call to glBeginTransformFeedback".
3. "Regardless of the size specified with BindBufferRange, or
indirectly with BindBufferBase, the GL will never read or write
beyond the end of a bound buffer. In some cases this constraint may
result in visibly different behavior when a buffer overflow would
otherwise result, such as described for transform feedback
operations in section 13.2.2." (GL 4.3 section 6.1.1 "Binding
Buffer Objects to Indexed Targets").
Item 1 has been part of the spec all the way back to the inception of
the EXT_transform_feedback extension. Items 2 and 3 were added in GL
4.2 and GLES 3.
Prior to GL 4.2, in place of items 2 and 3, the spec simply said
"BindBufferBase is equivalent to calling BindBufferRange with offset
zero and size equal to the size of buffer." For transform feedback,
Mesa behaved as though this meant "...equal to the size of buffer at
the time of the call to BindBufferBase". However, this was
problematic because it left it ambiguous what to do if the buffer is
shrunk between the call to BindBuffer{Base,Range} and the call to
BeginTransformFeedback. Prior to this patch, Mesa's behaviour was to
try to write beyond the end of the buffer, likely resulting in memory
corruption. In light of this, I'm interpreting the spec change as a
clarification, not an intended behavioural change, so I'm making the
change apply regardless of API version.
Fixes GLES3 conformance test transform_feedback2_pause_resume.test.
