Now that we've flipped the C++20 switch, let's start making use of
the nice new <bit> header.
I'm planning on handling this move away from BitUtils.h incrementally
in a series of PRs. There may be a few functions remaining in
BitUtils.h by the end that C++20 doesn't have any equivalents for.
The "vector shift by immediate" category encodes the shift amount for
right shifts as `size - amount`, whereas left shifts use `amount`.
We're not actually using SHRN/SHRN2 anywhere, which is why this has gone
undetected.
For quite some time now, we've had a setting on x86-64 that makes Dolphin
handle NaNs in a more accurate but slower way. There's only one game that
cares about this, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, and what that game
cares about more specifically is that the default NaN (or "generated NaN"
as I believe it's called in PowerPC documentation) is the same as on
PowerPC. On ARM, the default NaN is the same as on PowerPC, so for the
longest time we didn't need to do anything special to get Dragon Ball:
Revenge of King Piccolo working. However, in 93e636a I changed how we
handle FMA instructions in a way that resulted in the sign of NaNs
becoming inverted for nmadd/nmsub instructions, breaking the game.
To fix this, let's implement the AccurateNaNs setting, like on x86-64.
1. In some cases, ps_merge01 can be implemented using one instruction.
2. When we need two instructions for ps_merge01, it's best to start with
a MOV to avoid false dependencies on the destination register.
3. ps_merge10 can be implemented using a single EXT instruction.
This new function is like MOVP2R, except it masks out the lower 12 bits,
returning them instead of writing them to the register. These lower
12 bits can then be used as an offset for LDR/STR. This lets us turn
ADRP+ADD+LDR sequences with a zero offset into ADRP+LDR sequences with
a non-zero offset, saving one instruction.
ARM64 can do perform various types of sign and zero extension on a
register value before using it. The Arm64Emitter already had support for
this, but it was kinda hidden away.
This commit exposes the functionality by making the ExtendSpecifier enum
available everywhere and adding a new ArithOption constructor.
The previous implementation of Force25BitPrecision was essentially a
translation of the x86-64 implementation. It worked, but we can make a
more efficient implementation by using an AArch64 instruction I don't
believe x86-64 has an equivalent of: URSHR. The latency is the same as
before, but the instruction count and register count are both reduced.
This was added in 385d8e2b15, but became somewhat redundant with Do in 4c7bbd96e4, and completely redundant now that std::is_trivially_copyable_v is well-supported.
Because of the previous commit, this is needed to stop DolphinQt from
forgetting that the user pressed ignore whenever any part of the config
is changed.
This commit also changes the behavior a bit on DolphinQt: "Ignore for
this session" now applies to the current emulation session instead of
the current Dolphin launch. This matches how it already worked on
Android, and is in my opinion better because it means the user won't
lose out on important panic alerts in a game becase they played another
game first that had repeated panic alerts that they wanted to ignore.
For Android, this commit isn't necessary, but it makes the code cleaner.
