Move impl of XamAlloc into XamAllocImpl
Implement XamAllocEx
Implement XamIsCurrentTitleDash
Implement XamGetLocaleDateFormat
Implement "stub" of XFileFsDeviceInformation, XFileSectorInformation (log warnings when they're executed so this doesnt get mistaken for an actual implementation)
Added xboxkrnl_memory file
Moved meat of MmAllocatePhysicalMemoryEx into xeMmAllocatePhysicalMemoryEx, exposed its definition via xboxkrnl_memory.
Moved impl of RtlImageHeaderNt into a helper function
Implement RtlImageDirectoryEntryToData
Implement KeSuspendThread
Check for bad handles passed in XOVERLAPPED, fixes crash in 415608D8
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
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
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
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
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.
But for normal msvc builds i would put it at around 30-50%
Added per-xexmodule caching of information per instruction, can be used to remember what code needs compiling at start up
Record what guest addresses wrote mmio and backpropagate that to future runs, eliminating dependence on exception trapping. this makes many games like h3 actually tolerable to run under a debugger
fixed a number of errors where temporaries were being passed by reference/pointer
Can now be compiled with clang-cl 14.0.1, requires -Werror off though and some other solution/project changes.
Added macros wrapping compiler extensions like noinline, forceinline, __expect, and cold.
Removed the "global lock" in guest code completely. It does not properly emulate the behavior of mfmsrd/mtmsr and it seriously cripples amd cpus. Removing this yielded around a 3x speedup in Halo Reach for me.
Disabled the microprofiler for now. The microprofiler has a huge performance cost associated with it. Developers can re-enable it in the base/profiling header if they really need it
Disable the trace writer in release builds. despite just returning after checking if the file was open the trace functions were consuming about 0.60% cpu time total
Add IsValidReg, GetRegisterInfo is a huge (about 45k) branching function and using that to check if a register was valid consumed a significant chunk of time
Optimized RingBuffer::ReadAndSwap and RingBuffer::read_count. This gave us the largest overall boost in performance. The memcpies were unnecessary and one of them was always a no-op
Added simplification rules for multiplicative patterns like (x+x), (x<<1)+x
For the most frequently called win32 functions i added code to call their underlying NT implementations, which lets us skip a lot of MS code we don't care about/isnt relevant to our usecases
^this can be toggled off in the platform_win header
handle indirect call true with constant function pointer, was occurring in h3
lookup host format swizzle in denser array
by default, don't check if a gpu register is unknown, instead just check if its out of range. controlled by a cvar
^looking up whether its known or not took approx 0.3% cpu time
Changed some things in /cpu to make the project UNITYBUILD friendly
The timer thread was spinning way too much and consuming a ton of cpu, changed it to use a blocking wait instead
tagged some conditions as XE_UNLIKELY/LIKELY based on profiler feedback (will only affect clang builds)
Shifted around some code in CommandProcessor::WriteRegister based on how frequently it was executed
added support for docdecaduple precision floating point so that we can represent our performance gains numerically
tons of other stuff im probably forgetting
- Mainly use `assert`s, since failure is very rare
- Forward failure of `CreateSemaphore` to guests because it is more easy
to trigger with invalid initial parameters.
- Test was failing on Linux 5.11 and GLIBC 2.33
- `timer_t(0)` is a valid handle, so a `valid_` flag was added to guard
destruction
- Similar behaviour on Windows was fixed as well. The invalid values for
`HANDLE` are API dependent.
Add suspend count to thread implementation.
Increment suspend count on suspend and decrement on resume.
Wait on suspend count to be decremented to 0.
Return suspend count on suspend and on resume before incr/decr.
Fix naming of resume suspend count to make clear that suspend count is
before incr/decr.
Add test.
- Convert http to https, provide archive link when possible.
- Made CPU-JIT.png more readable on dark themes;
Added a white background so there isn't black text on a black
background.
