- Change OddObj to X_DISPATCH_HEADER
- Add unknown X_KWAIT_REASON flag
- Fixed InitializeGuestObject mistake
- Replaces unknowns in kthread using nukernel as reference
If the guest-supplied thread pointer doesn't resolve to an XThread,
we previously returned STATUS_SUCCESS without setting the affinity
or writing previous_affinity_ptr, leaving callers believing the call
succeeded. Real NT kernel would crash on a bad pointer, but that's not
easy for us to replicate so return STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE instead and
log the pointer value so the condition is visible rather than silent.
Previous global TLS bitmap was shared across all processes. Now
per-process TLS bitmaps stored X_KPROCESS structures which should
better match Xbox360 architecture.
When a thread wakes from a kernel wait, the Xenon scheduler boosts its
effective priority by the increment passed to the signaling call
(KeSetEvent, KeReleaseSemaphore, KeReleaseMutant). The boost is clamped
to the per-thread max_dynamic_priority cap, respects the guest
boost_disabled flag, and is drained on the next quantum expiry.
Guest KTHREAD priority fields are now initialized from parent process
defaults, and the previously unknown fields involved have been renamed
to match their identified purpose.
And default ignore_thread_priorities to false.
Map Xenon's 0-31 priority range across all 5 host priority levels
instead of collapsing 0-17 into kNormal.
Use timer-driven quantum decay (~20ms period) matching Xenon's
60-quantum / 3-per-tick cycle to prevent starvation by gradually lowering
effective priority for non-real-time threads (< 18), piggybacking on the
existing 1ms timestamp timer.
Spinlock acquire now checks if the lock holder shares the same guest
CPU and yields more aggressively (Sleep(0)) when contending on the
same Xenon HW thread, which should better approximate real kernel's
implicit serialization.
Child threads without an explicit affinity mask now inherit the
parent's guest CPU assignment instead of round-robining, so the
spinlock check correctly identifies parent-child co-location.
Most non-Windows code paths use standard POSIX APIs (sockets, signals,
dlopen, threading) that work on any POSIX platform. Change Linux-specific
guards to !WIN32 or #else where the code is portable. Linux-specific
APIs (SIGRTMIN, Vulkan/X11, fontconfig/GTK) remain Linux-guarded.
add typed guest pointer template
add X_KSPINLOCK, rework spinlock functions.
rework irql related code, use irql on pcr instead of on XThread
add guest linked list helper functions
renamed ProcessInfoBlock to X_KPROCESS
assigned names to many kernel structure fields
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
… over to referencing state through ppc_context as much as possible, it'll make implementing things like kernel processes much easier in the future
Move forward definitions of kernel types into kernel_fwd.h
Stub implementation of XamLoaderGetMediaInfoEx
Partially implement XamSetDashContext
implement XamGetDashContext
Stub implementation of XamUserIsUnsafeProgrammingAllowed
Stub implementation of XamUserGetSubscriptionType
Expanded the supported object types for ObReferenceObjectByHandle and wrapped the logic for encoding the type in a constexpr function
ObReferenceObjectByName was taking lpstring_t for first param, but the function actually takes X_ANSI_STRING ptr
NtReleaseMutant actually does not return anything from KeReleaseMutant, it just checks the handle and returns whether it was invalid.
Changed the raise/lower irql functions to just set the irql on the pcr instead of setting it on field of Processor, processor is a shared object and irql is per-thread
Semi-stub implementation of KeGetImagePageTableEntry. I locked at it in the HV and got it so the values are in the same range the HV returns + actually reflect the page & memory range, but i doubt its equal to the values the hv returns on real hw. Used by modern dashboards, don't know for what.
Log error message for ObDereferenceObject w/ null ptr.
Allocate a special fixed page that dashboards reference, currently don't know what the data on that page is supposed to be.
Add current_irql field to X_KPCR
Added Device object member of XObject::Type enum
Added some notes about other gpu registers, found a table of register names and indices in xam
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
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
Remove dead #if 0'd code in math.h

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
- 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.
