It's always a good sign when the comments say "this will definitely
crash" and "I don't know if this is for a good reason".
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12762.
These GetPointer calls could cause crashes, in part because the
callers didn't do null checks and in part because GetPointer
inherently is unsafe to use for accesses larger than 1 byte.
The actual values don't matter since we overwrite all of the relevant fields, but other bits were not initialized (e.g. the top 12 bits of X10Y10), so the warning was semi-valid.
This piece of code is rather hard to understand, but my best guess
at what it's trying to do is that it tries to create opportunities
to skip writing CRs back to ppcState if we know that there are no
CR instructions (or branch instructions, etc) between an instruction
that writes to a CR register and the next blr. This is technically
inaccurate emulation, but as long as games don't do anything too
weird with their ABIs, I suppose it doesn't break anything.
So why do I want to get rid of it? Well, other than breaking some
hypothetical weird game, I imagine it could trip up people trying
to debug a game who are looking at the CR contents. And the code
is just plain confusing. (blr clearly doesn't write to CRs!)
Videocommon also depends on core, which resulted in linking errors (though I'm not sure why). Ideally, dolphintool woudln't depend on videocommon... but some stuff in core does.
Previously, EFB copies would be in the middle of other objects, as objects were only split on primitive data. A distinct object for each EFB copy makes them easier to spot, but does also mean there are more objects that do nothing when disabled (as disabling an object only skips primitive data, and there is no primitive data for EFB copies).
This also adds the commands after the last primitive data but before the next frame as a unique object; this is mainly just the XFB copy. It's nice to have these visible, though disabling the object does nothing since only primitive data is disabled and there is no primitive data in this case.
Turns out that most phones ship with a special Google version of
DocumentsUI instead of just using the AOSP version, despite the two
being pretty similar as far as I can tell. This change makes us
check for both package names instead of just the AOSP package name.
It became irrelevant in 952dfcd610, when the define was removed; now, the code the comment is referring to is in JitRegister.cpp, and oprofile is controlled by cmake.
My change in 867cd99 caused farcode to fill up much more than before.
Most games still ran fine, but certain games would have multiple
cache clears per minute, on top of being overall slow.
Maybe there's something prettier we can do about this than just
allocating more RAM, but we have the resource budget for making
Dolphin use more RAM, so I consider increasing the size of the
cache to be a good solution at least for the time being.
At least for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, 48 MB isn't
enough to stop the cache clears, but 64 MB is. (I only played the
game for a few minutes when testing, though.)
To do this, I had to decouple framebuffer fetch from shader blending. We need to be able to access framebuffer fetch input when using shader logic ops.
If InputConfig::LoadConfig() was called once with a non empty/customized config,
then called again after manually deleting the config (dolphin calls LoadConfig() every time it opens the mapping widget),
the second load would fail to clear the values on any non first EmulatedController and would instead keep the
previous config values despite it being deleted (while it would instead correctly default the first EmulatedController).
This is not a big bug though the code is better now.

Before e1e3db13ba
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
This fixes the bad rendering on the first frame when using the software renderer: the software renderer's Z buffer started out at 0, but most games clear it to 0xffffff instead; this means that things don't render correctly except for in the regions where the screen was cleared by an EFB copy earlier in the frame.
The system menu does clear the RTC flags, but we currently aren't updating the cache file, and since we clear them the system menu doesn't know to update the cache either. This means that launching a game via the system menu, and then launching a game directly and exiting via HOME will result in the system menu using an outdated cache and displaying the old game. This causes it to fail to launch the game on the disc channel (since it doesn't match the cache), resulting in it resetting (though it will ignore the cache after resetting). Not clearing the cache avoids this issue.
PNG_FORMAT_RGB and PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB both evaluate to 2, but PNG_FORMAT_RGBA evaluates to 3 while PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGBA evaluates to 6; the bit indicating a palette is 1 while the bit indicating alpha is 4.
Fixes Bomberman Jetters in single core mode.
When single core mode pauses the CPU to execute the GPU
FIFO it greedily executes the whole thing. Before this commit,
Finish and Token interrupts would happen instantly, not even
taking into account how long the current FIFO window has
taken to execute. The interrupts would be effectively backdated
to the start of this execution window.
This commit does two things: It pipes the current FIFO window
execution time though to the interrupt scheduling and it enforces
a minimum delay of 500 cycles before an interrupt will be fired.
Netplay: Fix possible Wii save restore race condition between Netplay and CPU threads on game shutdown by making the Wii Save Sync data part of the BootParameters.
Being able to preserve the address register is useful for the
next commit, and W0 is the address register used for loads. Saving
the address register used for stores, W1, was already supported.
If a host register has been newly allocated for the destination
guest register, and the load triggers an exception, we must make
sure to not write the old value in the host register into ppcState.
This commit achieves this by not marking the register as dirty
until after the load is done.
This does this following things:
- Default to the runtime automatic number of threads for pre-compiling shaders
- Adds a distinct automatic thread count computation for pre-compilation (which has less other things going on
and should scale better beyond 4 cores)
- Removes the unused logical_core_count field from the CPU detection
- Changes the semantics of num_cores from maximaum addressable number of cores to actually available CPU cores
(which is also how it was actually used)
- Updates the computation of the HTT flag now that AMD no longer lies about it for its Zen processors
- Background shader compilation is *not* enabled by default
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489
I haven't fully confirmed why the previous commit broke this,
but I imagine it's due to AfterDirectoryInitializationRunner
executing in a different order than before, resulting in
startRescan running before startLoad.
This decreases our APK size by a few megabytes. Most of the reduction
is from Java libraries that we only use small parts of. Code shrinking
gets rid of all the unused code from these libraries from the APK.
Because I highly value the ability to get stack traces that make
sense, I have specifically disabled obfuscation (automatic renaming
of symbols to short incomprehensible names).
I've only enabled code shrinking for release builds, purely because
I feel like the extra build time (30 seconds on my machine)
would be annoying when you want to make debug builds rapidly.
