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.
Made commandprocessor GetcurrentRingReadcount inline, it was made noinline to match PGO decisions but i think PGO can make extra reg allocation decisions that make this inlining choice yield gains, whereas if we do it manually we lose a tiny bit of performance
Working on a more compact vectorized version of GetScissor to save icache on cmd processor thread
Add WriteRegisterForceinline, will probably end up amending to remove it
add ERMS path for vastcpy
Adding WriteRegistersFromMemCommonSense (name will be changed later), name is because i realized my approach with optimizing writeregisters has been backwards, instead of handling all checks more quickly within the loop that writes the registers, we need a different loop for each range with unique handling. we also manage to hoist a lot of the logic out of the loops
Use 100ns delay for MaybeYield, noticed we often return almost immediately from the syscall so we end up wasting some cpu, instead we give up the cpu for the min waitable time (on my system, this is 0.5 ms)
Added a note about affinity mask/dynamic process affinity updates to threading_win
Add TextureFetchConstantsWritten
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 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
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
add split_map class for mapping keys to values in a way that optimizes for frequent searches and infrequent insertions/removals
remove jump table implementation of GetColorRenderTargetFormatComponentCount, it was appearing relatively high in profiles. instead pack the component counts into a single 32 bit word, which is indexed by shifting
Add cvar to align all basic blocks to a boundary
Add mmio aware load paths
liberally apply XE_RESTRICT in ringbuffer related code
Removed the IS_TRUE and IS_FALSE opcodes, they were pointless duplicates of COMPARE_EQ/COMPARE_NE and i want to simplify our set of opcodes for future backends
More work on LVSR/LVSL/STVR/STVL opcodes
Optimized X64 translated code emission, now only compute instrkey once
Add code for pre-computing integer division magic numbers
Optimized GetHostViewportInfo a little
Move args for GetHostViewportInfo into a class, cache the result and compare for future queries. moved GetHostViewportInfo far lower on the profile
Add (currently not functional, and very racy) asynchronous memcpy code. will improve it and actually use it in future commits.
Add non-temporal memcpy function for huge page-aligned allocations. Used for copying to shared memory/readback
hoist are_accumulated_render_targets_valid_ check out of loop in render_target_cache already bound check.
Add stosb/movsb code for small constant memcpys/memsets that arent worth the overhead of memcpy/memset
Float24-as-float32 depth bias is now in the increments of 8, because conversion of the depth to float24 directly in the pixel shaders may destroy the bias qualitatively otherwise if it's too small.
On Vulkan, when snorm16 in unsupported, these formats may be emulated as float16, which natively can represent a wide range of numbers including -32 to 32 with blending. However, R16G16_SNORM and R16G16B16A16_SNORM are two separate formats, which may have different support on the device.
