AVX512 has native unsigned integer comparisons instructions, removing
the need to XOR the most-significant-bit with a constant in memory to
use the signed comparison instructions. These instructions only write to
a k-mask register though and need an additional call to `vpmovm2*` to
turn the mask-register into a vector-mask register.
As of Icelake:
`vpcmpu*` is all L3/T1
`vpmovm2d` is L1/T0.33
`vpmovm2{b,w}` is L3/T0.33
As of Zen4:
`vpcmpu*` is all L3/T0.50
`vpmovm2*` is all L1/T0.25
Other half of #2125. I don't know of any title that utilizes this instruction, but I went ahead and implemented it for completeness.
Verified the implementation with `instr__gen_vsubcuw` from #1348. Can be grabbed with:
```
git checkout origin/gen_tests -- src\xenia\cpu\ppc\testing\*vsubcuw.s
```

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)
uses a bitmap that splits up the memory space into 65k blocks per bit. Currently is using the guest virtual address but should be using physical addresses instead.
Currently if a guest does a reserve on a location and then a reserved store to a totally different location we trigger a breakpoint. This should never happen
Also removed the NEGATED_MUL_blah operations. They weren't necessary, nothing special is needed for the negated result variants.
Added a log message for when watched physical memory has a race, it just would be nice to know when it happens and in what games.
Fixed PrefetchW feature check
Added prefetchw check to startup AVX check, there should be no CPUs that support AVX but not PrefetchW.
Init VRSAVE to all ones.
Removed unused disable_global_lock flag.
Uses `vpternlogd` to collapse the bitwise select operation into one
instruction. Though it needs a `vmovdqa` instruction since `vpternlogd`
reads and writes to the first argument.
Add constexpr getters to magicdiv class so it can be used from jitted x64/dxbc
Track the guest return address as well for guest/host sync, if multiple entries have the same guest stack find the first one with a matching guest retaddr. this fixes epic mickey 2 (which the previous guest-stack change had allowed to go ingame for a bit) and potentially also a crash in fable3.
Break if under debugger when stackpoints are overflowed
Add much more useful output for host exceptions, print out xenia_canary.exe relative offsets if exception is in module, formatmessage for ntstatus/win32err, strerror
Minor d3d12 microoptimization, instead of doing SetEventOnCompletion + WaitForSingleObject do SetEventOnCompletion w/ nullptr so that the wait happens in kernel mode, avoiding two extra context switches
add unimplemented kernel functions:
ExAllocatePoolWithTag
ObReferenceObject
ObDereferenceObject has no return value.
Log a message when ObDereferenceObject/Reference receive unregistered guest kernel objects
gave ObLookupThreadByThreadId its correct error status
hoist object_types initialization out of ObReferenceObjectByHandle
Fix out parameter values on error for a few kernel funcs
add note about msr to KeSetCurrentStackPointers
add X_STATUS_OBJECT_TYPE_MISMATCH check for xeNtSetEvent
add msr_mask field to X_KPCR
Remove dead #if 0'd code in math.h
On amd64, page_size == 4096 constant, on amd64 w/ win32, allocation_granularity == 65536. These values for x86 windows havent changed over the last 20 years so this is probably safe
and gives a modest code size reduction
Enable XE_USE_KUSER_SHARED. This sources host time from KUSER_SHARED instead of from QueryPerformanceCounter, which is far faster, but only has a granularity of 100 nanoseconds.
In some games seemingly random crashes were happening that were hard to trace because
the faulting thread was actually not the one that was misbehaving, another threads stack was underflowing into the faulting thread.
Added a bunch of code to synchronize the guest stack and host stack so that if a guest longjmps the host's stack will be adjusted.
Changes were also made to allow the guest to call into a piece of an existing x64 function.
This synchronization might have a slight performance impact on lower end cpus, to disable it set enable_host_guest_stack_synchronization to false.
It is possible it may have introduced regressions, but i dont know of any yet
So far, i know the synchronization change fixes the "hub crash" in super sonic and allows the game "london 2012" to go ingame.
Removed emit_useless_fpscr_updates, not emitting these updates breaks the raiden game
MapGuestAddressToMachineCode now returns nullptr if no address was found, instead of the start of the function
add Processor::LookupModule
Add Backend::DeinitializeBackendContext
Use WriteRegisterRangeFromRing_WithKnownBound<0, 0xFFFF> in WriteRegisterRangeFromRing for inlining (previously regressed on performance of ExecutePacketType0)
add notes about flags that trap in XamInputGetCapabilities
0 == 3 in XamInputGetCapabilities
Name arg 2 of XamInputSetState
PrefetchW in critical section kernel funcs if available & doing cmpxchg
Add terminated field to X_KTHREAD, set it on termination
Expanded the logic of NtResumeThread/NtSuspendThread to include checking the type of the handle (in release, LookupObject doesnt seem to do anything with the type)
and returning X_STATUS_OBJECT_TYPE_MISMATCH if invalid. Do termination check in NtSuspendThread.
Add basic host exception messagebox, need to flesh it out more (maybe use the new stack tracking stuff if on guest thrd?)
Add rdrand patching hack, mostly affects users with nvidia cards who have many threads on zen
Use page_size_shift in more places
Once again disable precompilation! Raiden is mostly weird ppc asm which probably breaks the precompilation. The code is still useful for running the compiler over the whole of an xex in debug to test for issues
"Fix" debug console, we were checking the cvar before any cvars were loaded, and the condition it checks in AttachConsole is somehow always false

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
properly byteswap r13 for spinlock
Add PPCOpcodeBits
stub out broken fpscr updating in ppc_hir_builder. it's just code that repeatedly does nothing right now.
add note about 0 opcode bytes being executed to ppc_frontend
Add assert to check that function end is greater than function start, can happen with malformed functions
Disable prefetch and cachecontrol by default, automatic hardware prefetchers already do the job for the most part
minor cleanup in simplification_pass, dont loop optimizations, let the pass manager do it for us
Add experimental "delay_via_maybeyield" cvar, which uses MaybeYield to "emulate" the db16cyc instruction
Add much faster/simpler way of directly calling guest functions, no longer have to do a byte by byte search through the generated code
Generate label string ids on the fly
Fix unused function warnings for prefetch on clang, fix many other clang warnings
Eliminated majority of CallNativeSafes by replacing them with naive generic code paths.
^ Vector rotate left, vector shift left, vector shift right, vector shift arithmetic right, and vector average are included
These naive paths are implemented small loops that stash the two inputs to the stack and load them in gprs from there, they are not particularly fast but should be an order of magnitude faster than callnativesafe
to a host function, which would involve a call, stashing all volatile registers, an indirect call, potentially setting up a stack frame for the arrays that the inputs get stashed to, the actual operations, a return, loading all volatile registers, a return, etc
Added the fast SHR_V128 path back in
Implement signed vector average byte, signed vector average word. previously we were emitting no code for them. signed vector average byte appears in many games
Fix bug with signed vector average 32, we were doing unsigned shift, turning negative values into big positive ones potentially
Uses the single-instruction AVX512 `vperm*` instructions to accelerate
the `INT8_TYPE` and `INT16_TYPE` permutation opcodes.
The `INT8_TYPE` is accelerated using `AVX512VBMI` subset of AVX512.
Available since Icelake(Intel) and Zen4(AMD).
Allows access to byte-element 2-register permutations(32-byte look up
tables) and for 64-bit multi-shifts.
Particularly adding this to accelerate the assembly of our `PERMUTE`
opcode.
Fix guest code profiler, it previously only worked with function precomp + all code you were about to execute already discovered
Allow AndNot if type is V128
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
remove useless memorybarrier
remove double membarrier in wait pm4 cmd
add int64 cvar
use int64 cvar for x64 feature mask
Rework some functions that were frontend bound according to vtune placing some of their code in different noinline functions, profiling after indicating l1 cache misses decreased and perf of func increased
remove long vpinsrd dep chain code for conversion.h, instead do normal load+bswap or movbe if avail
Much faster entry table via split_map, code size could be improved though
GetResolveInfo was very large and had impact on icache, mark callees as noinline + msvc pragma optimize small
use log2 shifts instead of integer divides in memory
minor optimizations in PhysicalHeap::EnableAccessCallbacks, the majority of time in the function is spent looping, NOT calling Protect! Someone should optimize this function and rework the algo completely
remove wonky scheduling log message, it was spammy and unhelpful
lock count was unnecessary for criticalsection mutex, criticalsection is already a recursive mutex
brief notes i gotta run
Uses a single `vpternlogd` to test for signed/unsigned
overflow/underflow. Then utilizes AVX512 mask operations to create
either `0x7FFFFFFF` or `0x80000000` arithmetically.
`vcvttps2udq` already saturates overflowing and unordered values to `0xFFFFFFFF`. Using mask registers, zeroes are written to negative values within the same instruction.
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.
