The Mesa Radeon Vulkan driver "RADV" has seen an initial trap handler implementation for helping to more easily catch and diagnose various issues stemming from Vulkan shaders...

Is there any performance loss in using that variable almost always?

I don't know, I haven't tried to benchmark with the trap handler enabled yet (though it probably reduces perf a little bit).

Note that this debug feature is still experimental and only GFX8 is supported atm.
