enricobuehler d7e01ad92e feat(host/vaapi): submit-split instrumentation + async_depth knob (depth 1 stays default)
Chasing the 8ms submit at 1440p on the 780M: the sampled PUNKTFUNK_PERF
split (push/pull/send) shows desc+buffersrc at ~5us, hwmap-import+VPP
CSC at ~0.2-0.5ms, and avcodec_send_frame owning the rest — so neither
a VA-surface import cache nor CSC overlap would help. Two facts landed:
(1) async_depth>=2 in libavcodec's vaapi_encode is a structural
+1-frame latency (frame N's packet only materializes when N+1 queues;
measured 18ms vs 8.3ms p50 at depth 1) — depth 1 stays the default,
PUNKTFUNK_VAAPI_ASYNC_DEPTH exists for pixel rates beyond the ASIC's
serial budget, and poll() now does a bounded in-flight wait so a deeper
depth still ships the AU as soon as the ASIC finishes. (2) The residual
send_frame block tracks GPU CLOCKS, not the ASIC: ~8ms/frame at a 60fps
duty cycle vs ~4.4ms at 120fps pacing vs 3.5ms back-to-back (270fps CLI
benchmark, even at -async_depth 1) — the clock-sag fix lands in
gpuclocks.

//! VAAPI encoder via `ffmpeg-next` — AMD (Mesa `radeonsi`) and Intel (`iHD`/`i965`) over one
//! libavcodec backend (`h264_vaapi`/`hevc_vaapi`/`av1_vaapi`). The kernel driver differs per
//! vendor; the libva userspace API is identical, so a single encoder covers both. This is the
//! sibling of [`super::linux`] (NVENC/CUDA) behind the shared [`Encoder`] trait — selected in
//! [`super::open_video`] (NVIDIA → NVENC, AMD/Intel → here).
//!
//! Two input paths, chosen lazily from the FIRST frame's payload (so `open_video`'s signature
//! is unchanged and the encoder self-configures for whatever the capturer produces):
//! * **CPU upload** ([`CpuInner`]): the portal hands packed RGB/BGR CPU frames; we swscale to
//! BT.709-limited NV12 and `av_hwframe_transfer_data` it into a pooled VA surface. Works on any
//! VAAPI GPU with no capture changes (the capturer falls back to CPU frames on non-NVIDIA).
//! * **Zero-copy dmabuf** ([`DmabufInner`], `PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY=1`): the capturer hands a packed-RGB
//! dmabuf. We wrap it as an `AV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME` frame and push it through a tiny filter graph
//! `buffer(drm_prime) → hwmap=derive_device=vaapi → scale_vaapi=format=nv12 → buffersink`, so
//! the import AND the RGB→NV12 colour conversion run on the GPU's video engine — no host CSC, no
//! upload. The encoder takes the NV12 surfaces straight from the filter sink.
//!
//! Raw FFI: `ffmpeg-next` has no hwcontext/filter wrappers for what we need, so the
//! hwdevice/hwframes/buffersrc/buffersink calls go through `ffmpeg::ffi` (= `ffmpeg_sys_next`),
//! as the CUDA encode path and the clients' decode paths already do. The encoder is opened
//! *without* a global header, so VPS/SPS/PPS are in-band on every IDR.
// Every `unsafe` block in this file carries a `// SAFETY:` proof; enforce it (unsafe-proof program).
