The current approach results in the UI thread creating a graphics device
whilst the core is running, leading to races on function pointers, and
potentially crashing.
Prior to this commit, the emitter would unconditionally emit a 10-byte
instruction known as MOVABS when loading a 64-bit immediate to a
register.
0: 48 b8 ef be ad de 00 movabs rax,0xdeadbeef
7: 00 00 00
With this change, it will instead rely on the fact that on x64 writes to
32-bit registers are automatically zero extended to 64-bits, allowing
us to emit a 5 or 6-bytes instruction with the same effect for certain
immediates.
0: b8 ef be ad de mov eax,0xdeadbeef
Fixes a critical regression from 8bb08d1ca6.
In that commit, I replaced a 1024 byte buffer with a SHCIEventCommand.
However, it looks like some Bluetooth adapters actually require such
a large buffer, so this change needs to be reverted.
It's annoying to have source files automatically reformatted every time
Dolphin is built because it causes git to consider the source tree to
be dirty.
This fixes severe image flickering in some cutscenes of Twin Snakes. The game appears to sometimes load a previously made XFB copy as a texture before it is actually rendered to the screen, which we took as an invitation to invalidate the XFB copy.
Prior to this commit, the emitter would unconditionally emit a 10-byte
instruction known as MOVABS when loading a 64-bit immediate to a
register.
0: 48 b8 ef be ad de ff movabs rax,0xffffffffdeadbeef
7: ff ff ff
With this change, it will instead emit a 7-byte instruction when it is
possible to express the 64-bit immediate using a signed 32-bit value.
0: 48 c7 c0 ef be ad de mov rax,0xffffffffdeadbeef
Two reasons for this change. First, it appears that some android launchers do some sort of call into
the application when long pressing the app icon, which in turn calls the DirectoryInit service. This
was ok to do prior to Oreo but will cause crashes with the new restrictions on services running
in the background. Which leads to the second reason that DirectoryInit doesn't need to be a service
at all since these actions are required for dolphin to function and shouldn't be a scheduled action.
So we instead just kick this off in a new thread and send the broadcast when done.
