[Android][Vulkan] Performace hit in PostLateUpdate.PlayerUpdateCanvases when tapping a Button on Mali GPUs

Mobile

-

To reproduce:
1. Open the QA's attached project
2. Build and Run a Dev Build with "Autoconnect Profiler" option selected
3. Open the Profiler and switch the CPU view to Hierarchy
4. Expand Player Loop and select PostLateUpdate.PlayerUpdateCanvases
5. Observe the spike when tapping the button

Expected result: Performance hit is very slight
Actual result: The graph spikes up to the 60fps limit

Reproduced with: 2018.3.5f1, 2018.4.5f1, 2019.1.12f1, 2019.2.0b10, 2019.3.0a11 <- Performance spikes on both Mali and Adreno GPUs
Not reproduced with: 2017.4.30f1, 2018.1.9f1, 2018.2.21f1, 2018.3.4f1

Reproduced with devices:
Huawei P20 8.1.0 HiSilicon Kirin 970 Mali-G72 OpenGL ES 3.2
Samsung Galaxy Note8 9 Exynos 9 Octa 8895 Mali-G71 OpenGL ES 3.2

Not reproduced with devices:
Oneplus OnePlus6T 9 Snapdragon 845 SDM845 Adreno (TM) 630 OpenGL ES 3.2
Xiaomi MI MAX 7.0 Snapdragon 617 MSM8952 Adreno (TM) 510 OpenGL ES 3.2

Notes:
On 2019.3.0a11 the performance spikes reproduce on both Mali and Adreno GPUs

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2020.1):

    In this case UI rendering has to wait for previous frame's UI rendering to complete. This would otherwise be done in "WaitForPresent".
    I'm closing this as "By Design" because the overall frametime is constant.
    There is slightly less overlap of main an render threads when this happens, so in theory this could cause a slight performance hit, but so far we have not seen this in a real project.
