Public domain does not have an internationally agreed upon definition,
As such it's generally preferred to use an extremely liberal license,
which can explicitly list the rights granted by the copyright holder.
The CC0 license is the usual choice here.
This "relicensing" is done without hunting down copyright holders, since
it is presumed that their release of this work into the public domain
authorizes us to redistribute this code under any other license of our
choosing.
This code was part of Dolphin's relicensing from v2 to v2+ a while back,
we just never updated these copyright headers. I double-checked that
segher gave us permission to relicense this code to v2+ on 2015-05-16.
SPDX standardizes how source code conveys its copyright and licensing
information. See https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/1-rationale/ . SPDX
tags are adopted in many large projects, including things like the Linux
kernel.
Without this, the code added in ac28b89 misbehaves and considers
AArch64 netplay clients to not have hardware FMA support, telling
all clients to disable FMA support, which causes a desync between
x64 and AArch64 due to JitArm64 not being able to disable FMA support.
Not doing this can cause desyncs when TASing. (I don't know
how common such desyncs would be, though. For games that
don't change rounding modes, they shouldn't be a problem.)
When I added the software FMA path in 2c38d64 and made us use
it when determinism is enabled, I was assuming that either the
performance impact of software FMA wouldn't be too large or CPUs
that were too old to have FMA instructions were too slow to run
Dolphin well anyway. This was wrong. To give an example, the
netplay performance went from 60 FPS to 30 FPS in one case.
This change makes netplay clients negotiate whether FMA should
be used. If all clients use an x64 CPU that supports FMA, or
AArch64, then FMA is enabled, and otherwise FMA is disabled.
In other words, we sacrifice accuracy if needed to avoid massive
slowdown, but not otherwise. When not using netplay, whether to
enable FMA is simply based on whether the host CPU supports it.
The only remaining case where the software FMA path gets used
under normal circumstances is when an input recording is created
on a CPU with FMA support and then played back on a CPU without.
This is not an especially common scenario (though it can happen),
and TASers are generally less picky about performance and more
picky about accuracy than other users anyway.
With this change, FMA desyncs are avoided between AArch64 and
modern x64 CPUs (unlike before 2c38d64), but we do get FMA
desyncs between AArch64 and old x64 CPUs (like before 2c38d64).
This desync can be avoided by adding a non-FMA path to JitArm64 as
an option, which I will wait with for another pull request so that
we can get the performance regression fixed as quickly as possible.

Added RAII wrapper around the the JITPageWriteEnableExecuteDisable() and
JITPageWriteDisableExecuteEnable() to make it so that it is harder to forget to
pair the calls in all code branches as suggested by leoetlino.
In MacOS 11.2 mprotect can no longer change the access protection settings of
pages that were previously marked as executable to anything but PROT_NONE. This
commit works around this new restriction by bypassing the mprotect based write
protection and instead relying on the write protection provided by MAP_JIT.
Analytics:
- Incorporated fix to allow the full set of analytics that was recommended by
spotlightishere
BuildMacOSUniversalBinary:
- The x86_64 slice for a universal binary is now built for 10.12
- The universal binary build script now can be configured though command line
options instead of modifying the script itself.
- os.system calls were replaced with equivalent subprocess calls
- Formatting was reworked to be more PEP 8 compliant
- The script was refactored to make it more modular
- The com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement was removed
Memory Management:
- Changed the JITPageWrite*Execute*() functions to incorporate support for
nesting
Other:
- Fixed several small lint errors
- Fixed doc and formatting mistakes
- Several small refactors to make things clearer
This commit adds support for compiling Dolphin for ARM on MacOS so that it can
run natively on the M1 processors without running through Rosseta2 emulation
providing a 30-50% performance speedup and less hitches from Rosseta2.
It consists of several key changes:
- Adding support for W^X allocation(MAP_JIT) for the ARM JIT
- Adding the machine context and config info to identify the M1 processor
- Additions to the build system and docs to support building universal binaries
- Adding code signing entitlements to access the MAP_JIT functionality
- Updating the MoltenVK libvulkan.dylib to a newer version with M1 support
Any file which includes scmrev.h must be rebuilt when scmrev.h
is regenerated. By not including scmrev.h from any file other
than Version.cpp, incremental builds become a little faster.
The STL has everything we need nowadays.
I have tried to not alter any behavior or semantics with this
change wherever possible. In particular, WriteLow and WriteHigh
in CommandProcessor retain the ability to accidentally undo
another thread's write to the upper half or lower half
respectively. If that should be fixed, it should be done in a
separate commit for clarity. One thing did change: The places
where we were using += on a volatile variable (not an atomic
operation) are now using fetch_add (actually an atomic operation).
Tested with single core and dual core on x86-64 and AArch64.
The control expression editor allows line breaks, but the serialization was
losing anything after the first line break (/r /n).
Instead of opting to encode them and decode them on serialization
(which I tried but was not safe, as it would lose /n written in the string by users),
I opted to replace them with a space.
If we can prove that FCVT will provide a correct conversion,
we can use FCVT. This makes the common case a bit faster
and the less likely cases (unfortunately including zero,
which FCVT actually can convert correctly) a bit slower.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12388. Might also fix
other games that have problems with float/paired instructions
in JitArm64, but I haven't tested any.
texture serialization and deserialization used to involve many memory
allocations and deallocations, along with many copies to and from
those allocations. avoid those by reserving a memory region inside the
output and writing there directly, skipping the allocation and copy to
an intermediate buffer entirely.
This adds a CMake option (DOLPHIN_DEFAULT_UPDATE_TRACK) to allow
configuring SCM_UPDATE_TRACK_STR. This is needed to enable auto-updates
in Windows CMake builds by default.
If we know at compile time that the PPC carry flag definitely
has a certain value, we can bake that value into the emitted code
and skip having to read from PPCState.
DualShock UDP Client is the only place in the code that assumed OnConfigChanged()
is called at least once on startup or it won't load up the setting, so I took care of that
More or less a complete rewrite of the function which aims
to be equally good or better for each given input, without
relying on special cases like the old implementation did.
In particular, we now have more extensive support for
MOVN, as mentioned in a TODO comment.
I don't really see the use of this. (Maybe in the past it
was used for when we need a constant number of instructions
for backpatching? But we don't use MOVI2R for that now.)
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.
