The dolphin-redirect.php script seems to have been present since 2012
at least, but we accidentally stopped using it when the "open wiki"
feature was reimplemented in DolphinQt2 in 2016.
<@delroth> dolphin-redirect.php is slightly smarter and tries to find gameid aliases for e.g. same region
<@delroth> uh, I mean different region
PR 9262 added a bunch of Jit64 optimizations, some of
which were already in JitArm64 and some which weren't.
This change ports the latter ones to JitArm64.
Let's reset m_last_used for each register that will be used
in an instruction before we start allocating any of them,
so that one of the earlier allocations doesn't spill a
register that we want in a later allocation. (We must still
also increment/reset m_last_used in R and RW, otherwise we
end up in trouble when emulating lmw/stmw since those access
more guest registers than there are available host registers.)
This should ensure that the asserts added earlier in this
pull request are never triggered.
If the register pressure is high when allocating registers,
Arm64FPRCache may spill a guest register which we are going to
allocate later during the current instruction, which has the
side effect of turning it into double precision. This will have
bad consequences if we are assuming that it is single precision,
so let's add some asserts to detect if that ever happens.
PR #2663 added a Jit64 implementation of dcbX and a fast path to skip JIT cache invalidation. Unfortunately, there is a mismatch between address spaces in this optimization. It tests the effective address (with the top 3 bits cleared) against the valid block bitset which is intended to be indexed by physical address. While this works in the common case, it fails (for example) when the effective address is in the 7E... region (a.k.a. "fake VMEM"). This may also fall apart under more complex memory mapping scenarios requiring full MMU emulation.
The good news is that even without this fast path, the underlying call to JitInterface::InvalidateICache() still does very little work in the common case. It correctly translates the effective address to a physical address which it tests against the valid block bitset, skipping invalidation if it is not necessary. As such, the cost of removing the fast path should not be too high.
The Jit64 implementation is retained, though all it does now is emit a call. This is marginally more efficient than simple interpreter fallback, which involves an extra call. The JitArm64 implementation has also been fixed.
The game Happy Feet is fixed by this change, as it loads code in the 7E... address region and depends upon JIT cache invalidation in reponse to dcbf.

At least on some CPUs (I found out about this from the
Arm Cortex-A76 Software Optimization Guide), using X30
with BLR is one cycle slower than using another register.
Check return value of calls to File::CreateTempDir() from CoreTiming,
FileSystem, and MMIO test classes to verify the test user directory
exists, and fail the tests otherwise.
Previously, eaddr would only be partially initialized in the ipv6 case.
Even if there's no support for it, we may as well ensure that the
variable always has deterministic initialization.
While we're at it, we can make the parameter a const reference, given no
members are modified.
EmulationActivity has an instance of Settings. If you go to
SettingsActivity from EmulationActivity and change some settings,
the changes get saved to disk, but EmulationActivity's Settings
instance still contains the old settings in its map of all
settings (assuming the EmulationActivity was not killed by the
system to save memory). Then, once you're done playing your
game and exit EmulationActivity, EmulationActivity calls
Settings.saveSettings. This call to saveSettings first overwrites
the entire INI file with its map of all settings (which is
outdated) in order to save any legacy settings that have changed
(which they haven't, since the GUI doesn't let you change legacy
settings while a game is running). Then, it asks the new config
system to write the most up-to-date values available for non-legacy
settings, which should make all the settings be up-to-date again.
The problem here is that the new config system would skip writing
to disk if no settings changes had been made since the last time
we asked it to write to disk (i.e. since SettingsActivity exited).
NB: Calling Settings.loadSettings in EmulationActivity.onResume
is not a working solution. I assume this is because
SettingsActivity saves its settings in onStop and not onPause.
For certain occurrences of nandx/norx, we declare a ReadWrite constraint
on the destination register, even though the value of the destination
register is irrelevant. This false dependency would force the RegCache
to generate a redundant MOV when the destination register wasn't already
assigned to a host register.
Example 1:
BF 00 00 00 00 mov edi,0
8B FE mov edi,esi
F7 D7 not edi
Example 2:
8B 7D 80 mov edi,dword ptr [rbp-80h]
8B FE mov edi,esi
F7 D7 not edi
Also avoid files without a name before the extension (name: ".ini")
from being added to the list because then they wouldn't be saveable
and it would appear with an empty name anyway.
Added Opacity controls for the user to customize the opacity of their touchscreen controls. Also, placed both Scale and Opacity settings into one window/option called Adjust Controls.
