Enable portability subset physical device enumeration.
Don't use Vulkan 1.1+ logical devices on Vulkan 1.0 instances due to the
VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion specification.
Make sure all extension dependencies are enabled when creating a device.
Prefer exposing feature support over extension support via the device
interface to avoid causing confusion with regard to promoted extensions
(especially those that required some features as extensions, but had those
features made optional when they were promoted).
Allow creating presentation-only devices, not demanding any optional
features beyond the basic Vulkan 1.0, for use cases such as internal tools
or CPU rendering.
Require the independentBlend feature for GPU emulation as working around is
complicated, while support is almost ubiquitous.
Move the graphics system initialization fatal error message to xenia_main
after attempting to initialize all implementations, for automatic fallback
to other implementations in the future.
Log Vulkan driver info.
Improve Vulkan debug message logging, enabled by default.
Refactor code, with simplified logic for enabling extensions and layers.
The issue was stemming from the fact that by default Xenia is running in portable mode, as in use the same root directory as the executable for its datafiles.
This default is an issue when using this software from a POSIX platform, since a lot of the times the location where the binary resides is not writable by default.
Therefore, force portable mode to be disabled on non Windows platforms.
Added support for autoload titles on boot with:
- Specific launch data
- Specific xex
- Restarting into packages: XamContentLaunchImageFromFileInternal
Since now modules and shaders are stored within cache_host directory.
This will require coping modules and shaders directories from previous directory to new one
- Display xex filenames in title selection.
- Fixed fullscreen controller hotkeys executing from a non-UI thread.
- Fixed recent_titles_entry_amount not disabling if set to <= 0.
- Use RunTitle instead of LaunchPath which does more error checking.
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.
- 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.
