'perf' is the standard builtin tool for performance analysis on recent
Linux kernel. Its source code is shipped within the kernel repository.
'perf' has basic support for JIT. For each process, it can read a file
named /tmp/perf-$PID.map. This file contains mapping from address
range to function name in the format:
41187e2a 1a EmuCode_804a33fc
with the following entries:
1. beginning of the range (hexadecimal);
2. size of the range (hexadecimal);
3. name of the function.
We supply the PowerPC address of the basic block as function name.
Usage:
DOLPHIN_PERF_DIR=/tmp dolphin-emu &
perf record -F99 -p $(pgrep dolphin-emu) --call-graph dwarf
perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | grep EmuCode__ | flamegraph.pl > profile.svg
Issue: perf does not have support for region invalidation. It reads
the file in postprocessing. It probably does not work very well if a
JIT region is reused for another basic block: wrong results should be
expected in this case. Currently, nothing is done to prevent this.
This is the same extension that we all know and love but under a different name with some different requirements.
In regular OpenGL fashion, you can't just move a desktop OpenGL extension to OpenGL ES without ratifying a new extension, which is why this falls
under a EXT extension, which in turn causes it to have suffixes attached to their function names.
This is the first step in our way towards conquering all mobile GPUs that don't support desktop OpenGL, hopefully we also can add support for
buffer_storage to OpenGL ES as well so we can make full use of this extension.
This is a fairly lengthy change that can't be separated out to multiple commits well due to the nature of fastmem being a bit of an intertangled mess.
This makes my life easier for maintaining fastmem on ARMv7 because I now don't have to do any terrible instruction counting and NOP padding. Really
makes my brain stop hurting when working with it.
This enables fastmem for a whole bunch of new instructions, which basically means that all instructions now have fastmem working for them. This also
rewrites the floating point loadstores again because the last implementation was pretty crap when it comes to performance, even if they were the
cleanest implementation from my point of view.
This initially started with me rewriting the fastmem routines to work just like the previous/current implementation of floating loadstores. That was
when I noticed that the performance tanked and decided to rewrite all of it.
This also happens to implement gatherpipe optimizations alongside constant address optimization.
Overall this comment brings a fairly large speedboost when using fastmem.
* Added country flags for games from Netherlands and Spain
* Added separate category for Region Free games (Uses European flag as placeholder)
* Added missing country filter options in "show regions" menu
* Rearranged country filters for readability
* Incremented CACHE_REVISION
Also fixed various country filters not showing up as options in the "Show regions" menu.
There was a longstanding hack that defined ucontext_t manually to work
around the lack of this header on the Android NDK. However, it looks
like newer NDK versions now have it like good little POSIX boys, and my
recent header reshuffle broke the build on those versions, presumably
because the real and fake definitions of ucontext_t end up included in
the same file where they weren't under the old organization.
Rather than try to revert the conflict, this commit just removes the
hack. The buildbot's NDK will need to be upgraded.
This wasn't too much of a concern since we normally don't care about this feature set, but it is nice when testing on new devices and they don't
support the higher feature sets but want to run under software renderer.
The Mesa softpipe and PowerVR 5xx drivers don't support higher GL versions, but they shouldn't exit out just because they couldn't get a GL3 function
pointer that isn't even going to be used at that point.
