add xe::clear_lowest_bit, use it in place of shift-andnot in some bit iteration code
make is_allocated_ and is_enabled_ volatile in xma_context
preallocate avpacket buffer in XMAContext::Setup, the reallocations of the buffer in ffmpeg were showing up on profiles
check is_enabled and is_allocated BEFORE locking an xmacontext. XMA worker was spending most of its time locking and unlocking contexts
Removed XeDMAC, dma:: namespace. It was a bad idea and I couldn't make it work in the end. Kept vastcpy and moved it to the memory namespace instead
Made the rest of global_critical_region's members static. They never needed an instance.
Removed ifdef'ed out code from ring_buffer.h
Added EventInfo struct to threading, added Event::Query to aid with implementing NtQueryEvent.
Removed vector from WaitMultiple, instead use a fixed array of 64 handles that we populate. WaitForMultipleObjects cannot handle more than 64 objects.
Remove XE_MSVC_OPTIMIZE_SMALL() use in x64_sequences, x64 backend is now always size optimized because of premake
Make global_critical_region_ static constexpr in shared_memory.h to get rid of wasteage of 8 bytes (empty class=1byte, +alignment for next member=8)
Move trace-related data to the tail of SharedMemory to keep more important data together
In IssueDraw build an array of fetch constant addresses/sizes, then pre-lock the global lock before doing requestrange for each instead of individually locking within requestrange for each of them
Consistent access specifier protected for pm4_command_processor_declare
Devirtualize WriteOneRegisterFromRing.
Move ExecutePacket and ExecutePrimaryBuffer to pm4_command_buffer_x
Remove many redundant header inclusions access xenia-gpu
Minor microoptimization of ExecutePacketType0
Add TextureCache::RequestTextures for batch invocation of LoadTexturesData
Add TextureCache::LoadTexturesData for reducing the number of times we release and reacquire the global lock.
Ideally you should hold the global lock for as little time as possible, but if you are constantly acquiring and releasing it you are actually more likely to have contention
Add already_locked param to ObjectTable::LookupObject to help with reducing lock acquire/release pairs
Add missing checks to XAudioRegisterRenderDriverClient_entry. this is unlikely to fix anything, it was just an easy thing to do
Add NtQueryEvent system call implementation. I don't actually know of any games that need it.
Instead of using std::vector + push_back in KeWaitForMultipleObjects and xeNtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx use a fixed size array of 64 and track the count. More than 64 objects is not permitted by the kernel. The repeated reallocations from push_back were appearing unusually high on the profiler, but were masked until now by waitformultipleobjects natural overhead
Pre-lock the global lock before looking up each handle for xeNtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx and KeWaitForMultipleObjects.
Pre-lock before looking up the signal and waiter in NtSignalAndWaitForSingleObjectEx
add missing checks to NtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx
Support pre-locking in XObject::GetNativeObject
remove xe_kernel_export_shim_fn field of Export function_data, trampoline is now the only way exports get invoked
Remove kernelstate argument from string functions in order to conform to the trampoline signature (the argument was unused anyway)
Constant-evaluated initialization of ppc_opcode_disasm_table, removal of unused std::vector fields
Constant-evaluated initialization of export tables
name field on export is just a const char* now, only immutable static strings are ever passed to it
Remove unused callcount field of export.
PM4 compare op function extracted
Globally apply /Oy, /GS-, /Gw on msvc windows
Remove imgui testwindow code call, it took up like 300 kb
- Handle compiler flags per-file. Removes ffmpeg warnings
- Switch to JoelLinn fork since original author stopped maintaining
and other forks don't seem to care about PRs
remove useless memorybarrier
remove double membarrier in wait pm4 cmd
add int64 cvar
use int64 cvar for x64 feature mask
Rework some functions that were frontend bound according to vtune placing some of their code in different noinline functions, profiling after indicating l1 cache misses decreased and perf of func increased
remove long vpinsrd dep chain code for conversion.h, instead do normal load+bswap or movbe if avail
Much faster entry table via split_map, code size could be improved though
GetResolveInfo was very large and had impact on icache, mark callees as noinline + msvc pragma optimize small
use log2 shifts instead of integer divides in memory
minor optimizations in PhysicalHeap::EnableAccessCallbacks, the majority of time in the function is spent looping, NOT calling Protect! Someone should optimize this function and rework the algo completely
remove wonky scheduling log message, it was spammy and unhelpful
lock count was unnecessary for criticalsection mutex, criticalsection is already a recursive mutex
brief notes i gotta run
Uses a single `vpternlogd` to test for signed/unsigned
overflow/underflow. Then utilizes AVX512 mask operations to create
either `0x7FFFFFFF` or `0x80000000` arithmetically.
`vcvttps2udq` already saturates overflowing and unordered values to `0xFFFFFFFF`. Using mask registers, zeroes are written to negative values within the same instruction.
PM4 buffer handling made a virtual member of commandprocessor, place the implementation/declaration into reusable macro files. this is probably the biggest boost here.
Optimized SET_CONSTANT/ LOAD_CONSTANT pm4 ops based on the register range they start writing at, this was also a nice boost
Expose X64 extension flags to code outside of x64 backend, so we can detect and use things like avx512, xop, avx2, etc in normal code
Add freelists for HIR structures to try to reduce the number of last level cache misses during optimization (currently disabled... fixme later)
Analyzed PGO feedback and reordered branches, uninlined functions, moved code out into different functions based on info from it in the PM4 functions, this gave like a 2% boost at best.
Added support for the db16cyc opcode, which is used often in xb360 spinlocks. before it was just being translated to nop, now on x64 we translate it to _mm_pause but may change that in the future to reduce cpu time wasted
texture util - all our divisors were powers of 2, instead we look up a shift. this made texture scaling slightly faster, more so on intel processors which seem to be worse at int divs. GetGuestTextureLayout is now a little faster, although it is still one of the heaviest functions in the emulator when scaling is on.
xe_unlikely_mutex was not a good choice for the guest clock lock, (running theory) on intel processors another thread may take a significant time to update the clock? maybe because of the uint64 division? really not sure, but switched it to xe_mutex. This fixed audio stutter that i had introduced to 1 or 2 games, fixed performance on that n64 rare game with the monkeys.
Took another crack at DMA implementation, another failure.
Instead of passing as a parameter, keep the ringbuffer reader as the first member of commandprocessor so it can be accessed through this
Added macro for noalias
Applied noalias to Memory::LookupHeap. This reduced the size of the executable by 7 kb.
Reworked kernel shim template, this shaved like 100kb off the exe and eliminated the indirect calls from the shim to the actual implementation. We still unconditionally generate string representations of kernel calls though :(, unless it is kHighFrequency
Add nvapi extensions support, currently unused. Will use CPUVISIBLE memory at some point
Inserted prefetches in a few places based on feedback from vtune.
Add native implementation of SHA int8 if all elements are the same
Vectorized comparisons for SetViewport, SetScissorRect
Vectorized ranged comparisons for WriteRegister
Add XE_MSVC_ASSUME
Move FormatInfo::name out of the structure, instead look up the name in a different table. Debug related data and critical runtime data are best kept apart
Templated UpdateSystemConstantValues based on ROV/RTV and primitive_polygonal
Add ArchFloatMask functions, these are for storing the results of floating point comparisons without doing costly float->int pipeline transfers (vucomiss/setb)
Use floatmasks in UpdateSystemConstantValues for checking if dirty, only transfer to int at end of function.
Instead of dirty |= (x == y) in UpdateSystemConstantValues, now we do dirty_u32 |= (x^y). if any of them are not equal, dirty_u32 will be nz, else if theyre all equal it will be zero. This is more friendly to register renaming and the lack of dependencies on EFLAGS lets the compiler reorder better
Add PrefetchSamplerParameters to D3D12TextureCache
use PrefetchSamplerParameters in UpdateBindings to eliminate cache misses that vtune detected
Add PrefetchTextureBinding to D3D12TextureCache
Prefetch texture bindings to get rid of more misses vtune detected (more accesses out of order with random strides)
Rewrote DMAC, still terrible though and have disabled it for now.
Replace tiny memcmp of 6 U64 in render_target_cache with inline loop, msvc fails to make it a loop and instead does a thunk to their memcmp function, which is optimized for larger sizes
PrefetchTextureBinding in AreActiveTextureSRVKeysUpToDate
Replace memcmp calls for pipelinedescription with handwritten cmp
Directly write some registers that dont have special handling in PM4 functions
Changed EstimateMaxY to try to eliminate mispredictions that vtune was reporting, msvc ended up turning the changed code into a series of blends
in ExecutePacketType3_EVENT_WRITE_EXT, instead of writing extents to an array on the stack and then doing xe_copy_and_swap_16 of the data to its dest, pre-swap each constant and then store those. msvc manages to unroll that into wider stores
stop logging XE_SWAP every time we receive XE_SWAP, stop logging the start and end of each viz query
Prefetch watch nodes in FireWatches based on feedback from vtune
Removed dead code from texture_info.cc
NOINLINE on GpuSwap, PGO builds did it so we should too.
Remove the logger_ != nullptr check from shouldlog, it will nearly always be true except on initialization and gets checked later anyway, this shrinks the size of the generated code for some
Select specialized vastcpy for current cpu, for now only have paths for MOVDIR64B and generic avx1
Add XE_UNLIKELY/LIKELY if, they map better to the c++ unlikely/likely attributes which we will need to use soon
Finished reimplementing STVL/STVR/LVL/LVR as their own opcodes. we now generate far less code for these instructions. this also means optimization passes can be written to simplify/remove/replace these instructions in some cases. Found that a good deal of the X86 we were emitting for these instructions was dead code or redundant.
the reduction in generated HIR/x86 should help a lot with compilation times and make function precompilation more feasible as a default
Don't static assert in default prefetch impl, in c++20 the assertion will be triggered even without an instantiation
Reorder some if/else to prod msvc into ordering the branches optimally. it somewhat worked...
Added some notes about which opcodes should be removed/refactored
Dispatch in WriteRegister via vector compares for the bounds. still not very optimal, we ought to be checking whether any register in a range may be special
A lot of work on trying to optimize writeregister, moved wraparound path into a noinline function based on profiling info
Hoist the IsUcodeAnalyzed check out of AnalyzeShader, instead check it before each call. Profiler recorded many hits in the stack frame setup of the function, but none in the actual body of it, so the check is often true but the stack frame setup is run unconditionally
Pre-check whether we're about to write a single register from a ring
Replace more jump tables from draw_util/texture_info with popcnt based sparse indexing/bit tables/shuffle lookups
Place the GPU register file on its own VAD/virtual allocation, it is no longer a member of graphics system
Remove the logger_ != nullptr check from shouldlog, it will nearly always be true except on initialization and gets checked later anyway, this shrinks the size of the generated code for some
Select specialized vastcpy for current cpu, for now only have paths for MOVDIR64B and generic avx1

Place the GPU register file on its own VAD/virtual allocation, it is no longer a member of graphics system
add split_map class for mapping keys to values in a way that optimizes for frequent searches and infrequent insertions/removals
remove jump table implementation of GetColorRenderTargetFormatComponentCount, it was appearing relatively high in profiles. instead pack the component counts into a single 32 bit word, which is indexed by shifting
Add cvar to align all basic blocks to a boundary
Add mmio aware load paths
liberally apply XE_RESTRICT in ringbuffer related code
Removed the IS_TRUE and IS_FALSE opcodes, they were pointless duplicates of COMPARE_EQ/COMPARE_NE and i want to simplify our set of opcodes for future backends
More work on LVSR/LVSL/STVR/STVL opcodes
Optimized X64 translated code emission, now only compute instrkey once
Add code for pre-computing integer division magic numbers
Optimized GetHostViewportInfo a little
Move args for GetHostViewportInfo into a class, cache the result and compare for future queries. moved GetHostViewportInfo far lower on the profile
Add (currently not functional, and very racy) asynchronous memcpy code. will improve it and actually use it in future commits.
Add non-temporal memcpy function for huge page-aligned allocations. Used for copying to shared memory/readback
hoist are_accumulated_render_targets_valid_ check out of loop in render_target_cache already bound check.
Add stosb/movsb code for small constant memcpys/memsets that arent worth the overhead of memcpy/memset
Add vector simplification pass, so far it only recognizes whether VECTOR_DENORMFLUSH is useless and optimizes them away
Tag restgplr/savegplr/restvmx/savevmx/restfpr/savefpr with useful information, i intend to inline them (they tend to be the most heavily called guest functions)
Proper handling of nans for VMX max/min on x64 (minps/maxps has special behavior depending on the operand order that vmx does not have for vminfp/vmaxfp)
Add extremely unintrusive guest code profiler utilizing KUSER_SHARED systemtime. This profiler is disabled on platforms other than windows, and on windows is disabled by default by a cvar
Repurpose GUEST_SCRATCH64 stack offset to instead be for storing guest function profile times, define GUEST_SCRATCH as 0 instead, since thats already meant to be a scratch area
Fix xenia silently closing on config errors/other fatal errors by setting has_console_attached_'s default to false
Add alternative code path for guest clock that uses kusershared systemtime instead of QueryPerformanceCounter. This is way faster and I have tested it and found it to be working, but i have disabled it because i do not know how well it works on wine or on processors other than mine
Significantly reduce log spam by setting XELOGAPU and XELOGGPU to be LogLevel::Debug
Changed some LOGI to LOGD in places to reduce log spam
Mark VdSwap as kHighFrequency, it was spamming up logs
Make logging calls less intrusive for the caller by forcing the test of log level inline and moving the format/AppendLogLine stuff to an outlined cold function
Add swcache namespace for software cache operations like prefetches, streaming stores and streaming loads.
Add XE_MSVC_REORDER_BARRIER for preventing msvc from propagating a value too close to its store or from its load
Add xe_unlikely_mutex for locks we know have very little contention
add XE_HOST_CACHE_LINE_SIZE and XE_RESTRICT to platform.h
Microoptimization: Changed most uses of size_t to ring_size_t in RingBuffer, this reduces the size of the inlined ringbuffer operations slightly by eliminating rex prefixes, depending on register allocation
Add BeginPrefetchedRead to ringbuffer, which prefetches the second range if there is one according to the provided PrefetchTag
added inline_loadclock cvar, which will directly use the value of the guest clock from clock.cc in jitted guest code. off by default
change uses of GUEST_SCRATCH64 to GUEST_SCRATCH
Add fast vectorized xenos_half_to_float/xenos_float_to_half (currently resides in x64_seq_vector, move to gpu code maybe at some point)
Add fast x64 codegen for PackFloat16_4/UnpackFloat16_4. Same code can be used for Float16_2 in future commit. This should speed up some games that use these functions heavily
Remove cvar for toggling old float16 behavior
Add VRSAVE register, support mfspr/mtspr vrsave
Add cvar for toggling off codegen for trap instructions and set it to true by default.
Add specialized methods to CommandProcessor: WriteRegistersFromMem, WriteRegisterRangeFromRing, and WriteOneRegisterFromRing. These reduce the overall cost of WriteRegister
Use a fixed size vmem vector for upload ranges, realloc/memsetting on resize in the inner loop of requestranges was showing up on the profiler (the search in requestranges itself needs work)
Rename fixed_vmem_vector to better fit xenia's naming convention
Only log unknown register writes in WriteRegister if DEBUG :/. We're stuck on MSVC with c++17 so we have no way of influencing the branch ordering for that function without profile guided optimization
Remove binding stride assert in shader_translator.cc, triangle told me its leftover ogl stuff
Mark xe::FatalError as noreturn
If a controller is not connected, delay by 1.1 seconds before checking if it has been reconnected. Asking Xinput about a controller slot that is unused is extremely slow, and XinputGetState/SetState were taking up
an enormous amount of time in profiles. this may have caused a bit of input lag
Protect accesses to input_system with a lock
Add proper handling for user_index>= 4 in XamInputGetState/SetState, properly return zeroed state in GetState
Add missing argument to NtQueryVirtualMemory_entry
Fixed RtlCompareMemoryUlong_entry, it actually does not care if the source is misaligned, and for length it aligns down
Fixed RtlUpperChar and RtlLowerChar, added a table that has their correct return values precomputed
