There's no limit on the number of memory exports in a shader on the real
Xenos, and exports can be done anywhere, including in loops. Now, instead
of deferring the exports to the end of the shader, and assuming that export
allocs are executed only once, Xenia flushes exports when it reaches an
alloc (allocs terminate memory exports on Xenos, as well as individual ALU
instructions with `serialize`, but not handling this case for simplicity,
it's only truly mandatory to flush memory exports before starting a new
one), the end of the shader, or a pixel with outstanding exports is killed.
To know which eM# registers need to be flushed to the memory, traversing
the successors of each exec potentially writing any eM#, and specifying
that certain eM# registers might have potentially been written before each
reached control flow instruction, until a flush point or the end of the
shader is reached.
Also, some games export to sub-32bpp formats. These are now supported via
atomic AND clearing the bits of the dword to replace followed by an atomic
OR inserting the new byte/short.
Remove the logger_ != nullptr check from shouldlog, it will nearly always be true except on initialization and gets checked later anyway, this shrinks the size of the generated code for some
Select specialized vastcpy for current cpu, for now only have paths for MOVDIR64B and generic avx1
Add XE_UNLIKELY/LIKELY if, they map better to the c++ unlikely/likely attributes which we will need to use soon
Finished reimplementing STVL/STVR/LVL/LVR as their own opcodes. we now generate far less code for these instructions. this also means optimization passes can be written to simplify/remove/replace these instructions in some cases. Found that a good deal of the X86 we were emitting for these instructions was dead code or redundant.
the reduction in generated HIR/x86 should help a lot with compilation times and make function precompilation more feasible as a default
Don't static assert in default prefetch impl, in c++20 the assertion will be triggered even without an instantiation
Reorder some if/else to prod msvc into ordering the branches optimally. it somewhat worked...
Added some notes about which opcodes should be removed/refactored
Dispatch in WriteRegister via vector compares for the bounds. still not very optimal, we ought to be checking whether any register in a range may be special
A lot of work on trying to optimize writeregister, moved wraparound path into a noinline function based on profiling info
Hoist the IsUcodeAnalyzed check out of AnalyzeShader, instead check it before each call. Profiler recorded many hits in the stack frame setup of the function, but none in the actual body of it, so the check is often true but the stack frame setup is run unconditionally
Pre-check whether we're about to write a single register from a ring
Replace more jump tables from draw_util/texture_info with popcnt based sparse indexing/bit tables/shuffle lookups
Place the GPU register file on its own VAD/virtual allocation, it is no longer a member of graphics system
For more optimal usage of exports and the parameter cache on the host regardless of how effective the optimizations in the host GPU driver are. Also reserve space for Vulkan/Metal/D3D11-specific HostVertexShaderTypes to use one more bit for the host vertex shader type in the shader modification bits, so that won't have to be done in the future as that would require invalidating shader storages (which are invalidated by this commit) again.
6fcf9d21fe made per-vertex diameter vs. constant radius consistent, and with that commit the shader works with direct pixel to NDC conversion, however, the NDC conversion factor was outdated in that commit (still included the 0.5 factor for diameter to radius conversion, resulting in all points being 50% narrower along each axis than needed). Now, the diameter to radius conversion factor is used there properly, and also the multiplication of the per-vertex diameter by 0.5 has been removed from the shader since the constant already includes it now (the constant diameter is passed via the system constants instead of the radius also).
The wheel shader in 4D530910 does vfetch_full to r0 with the index from r0.x, and then vfetch_mini.
Thanks @Gliniak for the finding :3
Also small formatting cleanup in commented-out code.
