Write pointer can be relaxed-read from the EE thread
Read pointer can be relaxed-read from the VU thread
Warning: AtomicExchange calls were replaced by release-store
However AtomicExchange generates a memory barrier (at least on linux)
So either it is useless and it will be faster, or it will explode ;)
* Avoid the generation of memory barrier (mfence)
* Based on the fact that it used to work on previous code without any
barrier
v2:
* keep basic code in reset path
* use relaxed access for isBusy. The variable doesn't carry load/store
dependency but is instead an hint to optimize semaphore post
Read pointer is only written by the MTGS thread so it can be relaxed-read
by the MTGS thread
Write pointer is only written by the EE thread so it can be relaxed-read
by the EE thread
Remove volatile stuff
* Avoid the generation of memory barrier (mfence)
* Based on the fact that it used to work on previous code without any
barrier
v2:
* keep "slow" and safe atomic on reset path
* use relaxed atomic for m_RingBufferIsBusy
The signal doesn't carry dependency with others load/store. Instead it is used
as an hint to awake the semaphore
As a side, there is a potential thread bug
T1 do
* wait sema
* busy = true;
* while (!queue.empty) do work...
* busy = false;
* go back to wait sema
T2 do
* post sema even if busy is false
If T1 stop after the while queue but before the busy, T2 won't post the
event. When T1 will wake up, it will block on the semaphore
Use a relaxed atomic to read the exit variable in the hot path
Wait that exit is deasserted in the destructor, so we are sure the
thread will "soon" return
memory overhead by thead is only 256KB
However it will reduce the probability to block the push thread to nearly 0
I tested a couple of dumps and only manage 4000 element with 1 extrathread.
Add a factor 2 on the VRAM to get the quantity of available memory for the textures.
The driver is allowed to put some textures in RAM. Of course it is bad for performance
but it won't crash.
Due to the 4GB by process limit, I keep a (reasonable) maximum of 3.8GB.
In order to avoid a crash when memory is too low an exception will be risen
with no guarantee on rendering and big performance impact. In this situation
you ought to reduce upscaling/disable large framebuffer.
* Does the first vsync (start counter) after the sleep
* Dump data after the rendering, avoid to count extra destructor,sleep time
* Dump data into a basic csv file (if people want nice graph)
There is only a single event queue, so you need to detect the pad based
on the configuration
Mouse/Wiimote is limited to first pad

R5900OpcodeImpl: Cast all the values in array to u64 instead of s64.
It creates some slowdowns for unknown reason. My best hypothesis is
that stencil will be cleared too which is slow.
Let's keep the code for the future when stencil will be dropped.

The TLS buffers used by the FastFormatUnicode and FastFormatAscii
classes seem to be responsible for PCSX2 not terminating properly on
Windows under certain conditions (using MTVU before commit
1111e03901, using CDVDgigaherz without a
disc, possibly other conditions).
When PCSX2 shut downs and the FastFormatBuffers are being cleaned up,
the call to pthread_key_delete() would end up calling
WaitForSingleObject(e, INFINITE) and waiting indefinitely for an event
to trigger. It never does get triggered (for reasons unknown) and
therefore PCSX2 doesn't terminate properly.
Remove the usage of TLS buffers in the FastFormatString classes - it
fixes the termination issue on Windows and doesn't seem to have much
effect on performance.
Force VU round mode set to Extra+preserve sign in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers : Shiny weapons will no more show as white texture in-game. For all PAL/NTSC/NTSC-J releases of the game. Fix the name of a japanese release and add the chinese release of the game to the database.

When modifying the axis direction combo box in the Configure Binding
group, the modified binding's info would get deleted and replaced by the
next binding's info. This results in incorrect info being passed to
BindCommand().
This commit reverts the incorrect code so the binding info is backed up
before deletion takes place, therefore ensuring the correct info is
passed to BindCommand().
