A very basic hardware test shows that the ARMMSG doesn't change until
IOS replies. (People could have disassembled IOS to verify this too...)
Console:
sending request at 00034640 - ARMMSG 133e0fa0
00000000000000000000000000000010(ack) - ARMMSG 133e0fa0
00000000000000000000000000000100(reply) - ARMMSG 00034640
Dolphin, prior to this fix:
sending request (00034640) - ARMMSG 133e0fa0
00000000000000000000000000000011(ack) - ARMMSG 00034640
00000000000000000000000000000100(reply) - ARMMSG 00034640
Dolphin, after this fix:
sending request at 00034640 - ARMMSG 133e0fa0
00000000000000000000000000000011(ack) - ARMMSG 133e0fa0
00000000000000000000000000000100(reply) - ARMMSG 00034640
(Yes, note that the X1 bit is still set. This is a bug that I will
fix in the next commit.)
The IPC interrupt is triggered when IY1/IY2 is set and Y1/Y2 is written
to even when this results in clearing the bit.
This shouldn't change anything in practice but it's a difference
that Dolphin wasn't taking into account, which made me waste some time
when I was writing a hwtest :/
This adjusts IOS IPC timing to be closer to actual hardware:
* Emulate the IPC interrupt delay. On a real Wii, from the point of
view of the PPC, the IPC interrupt appears to fire about 100 TB ticks
after Y1/Y2 is seen.
* Fix the IPC acknowledgement delay. Dolphin was much, much too fast.
* Fix Device::GetDefaultReply to return more reasonable delays. Again,
Dolphin was way too fast. We now use a more realistic, average reply
time for most requests.
Note: the previous result from https://dolp.in/pr6374 is flawed.
GetTicketViews definitely takes more than 25µs to reply.
The reason the reply delay was so low is because an invalid
parameter was passed to the libogc wrapper, which causes it to
immediately return an error code (-4100).
* Fix the response delay for various replies that come from the kernel:
fd table full, unknown resource manager / device, invalid fd,
unknown IPC command.

This replaces usages of the non-standard __FUNCTION__ macro with the standard
mandated __func__ identifier.
__FUNCTION__ is a preprocessor definition that is provided as an
extension by compilers. This was the only convenient option to rely on
pre-C++11. However, C++11 and greater mandate the predefined identifier
__func__, which lets us accomplish the same thing.
The difference between the two, however, is that __func__ isn't a
preprocessor macro, it's an actual identifier that exists at function
scope. The C++17 draft standard (N4659) at section [dcl.fct.def.general]
paragraph 8 states:
"
The function-local predefined variable __func__ is defined as if a
definition of the form
static const char __func__[] = "function-name ";
had been provided, where function-name is an implementation-defined
string. It is unspecified whether such
a variable has an address distinct from that of any other object in the
program.
"
Thankfully, we don't do any macro or string concatenation with __FUNCTION__
that can't be modified to use __func__.
Currently, when immediately compile shaders is not enabled, the
ubershaders will be placed before any specialized shaders in the compile
queue in hybrid ubershaders mode. This means that Dolphin could
potentially use the ubershaders for a longer time than it would have if
we blocked startup until all shaders were compiled, leading to a drop in
performance.
9fa2470 changed how the ubershader setting is stored in INIs but didn't
update the Android GUI code to reflect that, so the setting in the
Android GUI has been broken starting with that commit.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10947
- In D3D, shaders could be compiled on the main thread, blocking
startup.
- Reduced the latency between a pipeline being requested and used in all
backends in hybrid ubershader mode, when no shader stages were present.
- Fixed a case where async compilation could cause the same UID to be
appended multiple times to the UID cache.
- Fix incorrect number of threads being used when immediately compile
shaders was enabled.
Fixes a crash which could occur in platforms which do not support
buffer_storage, and EFB2RAM is enabled (which indirectly uses the
attributeless buffer).
While the code is namespaced out properly, the files weren't separated
into their own directory. This moves the files so that introducing a general
interface is easier in the future for supporting other architectures.
Lowest hanging fruit I could find with a profiler.
Not sure this stuff actually needs to be done, but assuming it is, why
not do it quickly? 10x faster, goes from 1% CPU to 0.09%.
Yes, this commit is only to blame OSX and Mali. Through the former supports unsynchronized mappings, the latter supports *no* way to stream dynamic data at all. Let's try to make bad news, as they ignore friendly feature requests. Maybe we just need to make more noise...
Some locales use non-breaking spaces as separators, so getting the
encoding right is important. If DolphinWX gets a string that isn't
valid UTF-8, it flat out won't display the string.
