The "close window" keyboard hotkey (Guide-B) now toggles between loglevel -1 and the loglevel set in your config.
Added LoggerBatch class, which accumulates strings into the threads scratch buffer. This is only intended to be used for very high frequency debug logging. if it exhausts the thread buffer, it just silently stops.
Cleaned nearly 8 years of dust off of the pm4 packet disassembler code, now supports all packets that the command processor supports.
Added extremely verbose logging for gpu register writes. This is not compiled in outside of debug builds, requires LogLevel::Debug and log_guest_driven_gpu_register_written_values = true.
Added full logging of all PM4 packets in the cp. This is not compiled in outside of debug builds, requires LogLevel::Debug and disassemble_pm4.
Piggybacked an implementation of guest callstack backtraces using the stackpoints from enable_host_guest_stack_synchronization. If enable_host_guest_stack_synchronization = false, no backtraces can be obtained.
Added log_ringbuffer_kickoff_initiator_bts. when a thread updates the cp's read pointer, it dumps the backtrace of that thread
Changed the names of the gpu registers CALLBACK_ADDRESS and CALLBACK_CONTEXT to the correct names.
Added a note about CP_PROG_COUNTER
Added CP_RB_WPTR to the gpu register table
Added notes about CP_RB_CNTL and CP_RB_RPTR_ADDR. Both aren't necessary for HLE
Changed name of UNKNOWN_0E00 gpu register to TC_CNTL_STATUS. Games only seem to write 1 to it (L2 invalidate)
Fully defined the structure.
Single copy of it + single timer across all modules, managing it is now the responsibility of KernelState.
add global_critical_region::PrepareToAcquire, which uses Prefetchw on the global crit. We now know we can use Prefetchw on all cpus that have AVX.
add KeQueryInterruptTime, which is used by some dashboards.
add threading::NanoSleep
Burnout Paradise statically expects certain thread handle values based on how many objects it knows it is allocating ahead of time.
From this, it calculates an ID by subtracting the thread handle from a base handle of what it expects the first such thread to be assigned.
The value is statically declared in the executable and is not determined automatically.
The host objects in the handle range made these thread handles higher than what the game expects.
Removing these, and allowing 0xF8000000 to be assigned, allows the thread handles to fit perfectly in the range the game expects.
It is not clear what handle range the host objects should be taking. For now though, they're 0-based rather than 0xF8000000-based.
add msr field on context
write to msr for mtmsr/mfmsr, do not have correct default value for msr yet, nor has mtmsrd been reimplemented
do not evaluate assert expressions in release at all, while still avoiding unused variable warnings
add xe::clear_lowest_bit, use it in place of shift-andnot in some bit iteration code
make is_allocated_ and is_enabled_ volatile in xma_context
preallocate avpacket buffer in XMAContext::Setup, the reallocations of the buffer in ffmpeg were showing up on profiles
check is_enabled and is_allocated BEFORE locking an xmacontext. XMA worker was spending most of its time locking and unlocking contexts
Removed XeDMAC, dma:: namespace. It was a bad idea and I couldn't make it work in the end. Kept vastcpy and moved it to the memory namespace instead
Made the rest of global_critical_region's members static. They never needed an instance.
Removed ifdef'ed out code from ring_buffer.h
Added EventInfo struct to threading, added Event::Query to aid with implementing NtQueryEvent.
Removed vector from WaitMultiple, instead use a fixed array of 64 handles that we populate. WaitForMultipleObjects cannot handle more than 64 objects.
Remove XE_MSVC_OPTIMIZE_SMALL() use in x64_sequences, x64 backend is now always size optimized because of premake
Make global_critical_region_ static constexpr in shared_memory.h to get rid of wasteage of 8 bytes (empty class=1byte, +alignment for next member=8)
Move trace-related data to the tail of SharedMemory to keep more important data together
In IssueDraw build an array of fetch constant addresses/sizes, then pre-lock the global lock before doing requestrange for each instead of individually locking within requestrange for each of them
Consistent access specifier protected for pm4_command_processor_declare
Devirtualize WriteOneRegisterFromRing.
Move ExecutePacket and ExecutePrimaryBuffer to pm4_command_buffer_x
Remove many redundant header inclusions access xenia-gpu
Minor microoptimization of ExecutePacketType0
Add TextureCache::RequestTextures for batch invocation of LoadTexturesData
Add TextureCache::LoadTexturesData for reducing the number of times we release and reacquire the global lock.
Ideally you should hold the global lock for as little time as possible, but if you are constantly acquiring and releasing it you are actually more likely to have contention
Add already_locked param to ObjectTable::LookupObject to help with reducing lock acquire/release pairs
Add missing checks to XAudioRegisterRenderDriverClient_entry. this is unlikely to fix anything, it was just an easy thing to do
Add NtQueryEvent system call implementation. I don't actually know of any games that need it.
Instead of using std::vector + push_back in KeWaitForMultipleObjects and xeNtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx use a fixed size array of 64 and track the count. More than 64 objects is not permitted by the kernel. The repeated reallocations from push_back were appearing unusually high on the profiler, but were masked until now by waitformultipleobjects natural overhead
Pre-lock the global lock before looking up each handle for xeNtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx and KeWaitForMultipleObjects.
Pre-lock before looking up the signal and waiter in NtSignalAndWaitForSingleObjectEx
add missing checks to NtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx
Support pre-locking in XObject::GetNativeObject
remove xe_kernel_export_shim_fn field of Export function_data, trampoline is now the only way exports get invoked
Remove kernelstate argument from string functions in order to conform to the trampoline signature (the argument was unused anyway)
Constant-evaluated initialization of ppc_opcode_disasm_table, removal of unused std::vector fields
Constant-evaluated initialization of export tables
name field on export is just a const char* now, only immutable static strings are ever passed to it
Remove unused callcount field of export.
PM4 compare op function extracted
Globally apply /Oy, /GS-, /Gw on msvc windows
Remove imgui testwindow code call, it took up like 300 kb
PM4 buffer handling made a virtual member of commandprocessor, place the implementation/declaration into reusable macro files. this is probably the biggest boost here.
Optimized SET_CONSTANT/ LOAD_CONSTANT pm4 ops based on the register range they start writing at, this was also a nice boost
Expose X64 extension flags to code outside of x64 backend, so we can detect and use things like avx512, xop, avx2, etc in normal code
Add freelists for HIR structures to try to reduce the number of last level cache misses during optimization (currently disabled... fixme later)
Analyzed PGO feedback and reordered branches, uninlined functions, moved code out into different functions based on info from it in the PM4 functions, this gave like a 2% boost at best.
Added support for the db16cyc opcode, which is used often in xb360 spinlocks. before it was just being translated to nop, now on x64 we translate it to _mm_pause but may change that in the future to reduce cpu time wasted
texture util - all our divisors were powers of 2, instead we look up a shift. this made texture scaling slightly faster, more so on intel processors which seem to be worse at int divs. GetGuestTextureLayout is now a little faster, although it is still one of the heaviest functions in the emulator when scaling is on.
xe_unlikely_mutex was not a good choice for the guest clock lock, (running theory) on intel processors another thread may take a significant time to update the clock? maybe because of the uint64 division? really not sure, but switched it to xe_mutex. This fixed audio stutter that i had introduced to 1 or 2 games, fixed performance on that n64 rare game with the monkeys.
Took another crack at DMA implementation, another failure.
Instead of passing as a parameter, keep the ringbuffer reader as the first member of commandprocessor so it can be accessed through this
Added macro for noalias
Applied noalias to Memory::LookupHeap. This reduced the size of the executable by 7 kb.
Reworked kernel shim template, this shaved like 100kb off the exe and eliminated the indirect calls from the shim to the actual implementation. We still unconditionally generate string representations of kernel calls though :(, unless it is kHighFrequency
Add nvapi extensions support, currently unused. Will use CPUVISIBLE memory at some point
Inserted prefetches in a few places based on feedback from vtune.
Add native implementation of SHA int8 if all elements are the same
Vectorized comparisons for SetViewport, SetScissorRect
Vectorized ranged comparisons for WriteRegister
Add XE_MSVC_ASSUME
Move FormatInfo::name out of the structure, instead look up the name in a different table. Debug related data and critical runtime data are best kept apart
Templated UpdateSystemConstantValues based on ROV/RTV and primitive_polygonal
Add ArchFloatMask functions, these are for storing the results of floating point comparisons without doing costly float->int pipeline transfers (vucomiss/setb)
Use floatmasks in UpdateSystemConstantValues for checking if dirty, only transfer to int at end of function.
Instead of dirty |= (x == y) in UpdateSystemConstantValues, now we do dirty_u32 |= (x^y). if any of them are not equal, dirty_u32 will be nz, else if theyre all equal it will be zero. This is more friendly to register renaming and the lack of dependencies on EFLAGS lets the compiler reorder better
Add PrefetchSamplerParameters to D3D12TextureCache
use PrefetchSamplerParameters in UpdateBindings to eliminate cache misses that vtune detected
Add PrefetchTextureBinding to D3D12TextureCache
Prefetch texture bindings to get rid of more misses vtune detected (more accesses out of order with random strides)
Rewrote DMAC, still terrible though and have disabled it for now.
Replace tiny memcmp of 6 U64 in render_target_cache with inline loop, msvc fails to make it a loop and instead does a thunk to their memcmp function, which is optimized for larger sizes
PrefetchTextureBinding in AreActiveTextureSRVKeysUpToDate
Replace memcmp calls for pipelinedescription with handwritten cmp
Directly write some registers that dont have special handling in PM4 functions
Changed EstimateMaxY to try to eliminate mispredictions that vtune was reporting, msvc ended up turning the changed code into a series of blends
in ExecutePacketType3_EVENT_WRITE_EXT, instead of writing extents to an array on the stack and then doing xe_copy_and_swap_16 of the data to its dest, pre-swap each constant and then store those. msvc manages to unroll that into wider stores
stop logging XE_SWAP every time we receive XE_SWAP, stop logging the start and end of each viz query
Prefetch watch nodes in FireWatches based on feedback from vtune
Removed dead code from texture_info.cc
NOINLINE on GpuSwap, PGO builds did it so we should too.
"turns out theres a lot of quirks with the div instructions we havent been covering
if the denom is 0, we jump to the end and mov eax/rax to dst, which is correct because ppc raises no exceptions for divide by 0 unlike x86
except we don't initialize eax before that jump, so whatever garbage from the previous sequence that has been left in eax/rax is what the result of the instruction will be
and then in our constant folding, we don't do the same zero check in Value::Div, so if we constant folded the denom to 0 we will host crash
the ppc manual says the result for a division by 0 is undefined, but in reality it seems it is always 0
there are a few posts i saw from googling about it, and tests on my rgh gave me 0, but then another issue came up
and that is that we dont check for signed overflow in our division, so we raise an exception if guest code ever does (1<<signbit_pos) / -1
signed overflow in division also produces 0 on ppc
the last thing is that if src2 is constant we skip the 0 check for division
without checking if its nonzero
all weird, likely very rare edge cases, except for maybe the signed overflow division
chrispy — Today at 9:51 AM
oh yeah, and because the int members of constantvalue are all signed ints, we were actually doing signed division always with constant folding"
fixed an earlier mistake by me with the precision of fresx
made some optimization disableable
implemented vkpkx
fixed possible bugs with vsr/vsl constant folding
disabled the nice imul code for now, there was a bug with int64 version and i dont have time to check

Shim exports are called from GuestToHostThunk which dictates the calling
convention. The default system calling convention is different depending
on OS (Windows vs. everything else) and architecture. PR #1339 addresses
this for x64 Linux.
There is no reason for explicit `__cdecl`. Also, it is not available in
GCC. We could use `__attribute__((ms_abi))` or
`__attribute__((sysv_abi))` but that just adds complexity.
Fix issue in clang where args were inverted last to first due to the way
c++ implements function calls.
The function make_tuple, being a function, has undefined ordering of
resolution of the values of its parameters `Ps(init)` and would vary
between compilers. Namely clang would resolve them in order and msvc
would resolve them in reverse order.
This normally would not matter except for the fact that init maintains
a mutable state which is affected my the order of operations:
init.ordinal is a counter and also defines where in memory a value is
stored.
The C++ standard doesn't define an order of resolution of parameters in
a function but it will define an order in a brace-initializer.
Switching make_tuple for a brace-initializer enforces an order which is
the same between all compilers (tested gcc, clang and msvc).
Prior code was written to decrement ordinal due to the reverse
traversal.
This has been switched to incrementing thanks to the in-order
traversal.
