This one is pretty straightforward. The setup:
1. VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::sampleRateShading = VK_TRUE
2. VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo::sampleShadingEnable = VK_FALSE for the VkPipeline object
3. An image with sample count > 1 is attached to the draw call consuming the pipeline
With this setup, NAVI GPUs, both RX5000 and RX6000 series render garbage output. Specifically, only the edges are rendered, which seems like the usual multisample setup minus one sample - i.e inside polygons where we don't need multiple samples it renders 0 samples instead of at least 1, but for edges where we typically want N samples, it renders at least N-1 because sample count of 2 also shows this behavior. This issue has been present since RDNA1 launch. For NAVI, it seems VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo::sampleShadingEnable must always be VK_TRUE if VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::sampleRateShading is VK_TRUE. I could not find any such constraint in the spec for the positive case, only for the negative case (i.e If the feature is disabled then the pipeline must also have it disabled). This feels like an undesirable result to me. Forcefully enabling sampleRateShading for all pipelines and calculating the minimum ratio works around this problem, but it still feels like a bug to me.
