Made commandprocessor GetcurrentRingReadcount inline, it was made noinline to match PGO decisions but i think PGO can make extra reg allocation decisions that make this inlining choice yield gains, whereas if we do it manually we lose a tiny bit of performance
Working on a more compact vectorized version of GetScissor to save icache on cmd processor thread
Add WriteRegisterForceinline, will probably end up amending to remove it
add ERMS path for vastcpy
Adding WriteRegistersFromMemCommonSense (name will be changed later), name is because i realized my approach with optimizing writeregisters has been backwards, instead of handling all checks more quickly within the loop that writes the registers, we need a different loop for each range with unique handling. we also manage to hoist a lot of the logic out of the loops
Use 100ns delay for MaybeYield, noticed we often return almost immediately from the syscall so we end up wasting some cpu, instead we give up the cpu for the min waitable time (on my system, this is 0.5 ms)
Added a note about affinity mask/dynamic process affinity updates to threading_win
Add TextureFetchConstantsWritten
- Unified APU error messages
- Removed magic number from SetOffset call
- Commented out that annoying assertion from XmaContext::GetNextFrame
- Removed checks for current_input_packet_count and replaced with bool check
Not sure how to call it correctly. I know that calls with packet count == 1 is specific one
and probably handled differently. Is it streaming or how should it be called?
print thread name in host exception reports
trying to force win32 error descriptions to english
Return if output buffer block count is 0 in XmaContext, this is an attempt to fix a divide by zero crash many users have reported
Add constexpr getters to magicdiv class so it can be used from jitted x64/dxbc
Track the guest return address as well for guest/host sync, if multiple entries have the same guest stack find the first one with a matching guest retaddr. this fixes epic mickey 2 (which the previous guest-stack change had allowed to go ingame for a bit) and potentially also a crash in fable3.
Break if under debugger when stackpoints are overflowed
Add much more useful output for host exceptions, print out xenia_canary.exe relative offsets if exception is in module, formatmessage for ntstatus/win32err, strerror
Minor d3d12 microoptimization, instead of doing SetEventOnCompletion + WaitForSingleObject do SetEventOnCompletion w/ nullptr so that the wait happens in kernel mode, avoiding two extra context switches
add unimplemented kernel functions:
ExAllocatePoolWithTag
ObReferenceObject
ObDereferenceObject has no return value.
Log a message when ObDereferenceObject/Reference receive unregistered guest kernel objects
gave ObLookupThreadByThreadId its correct error status
hoist object_types initialization out of ObReferenceObjectByHandle
Fix out parameter values on error for a few kernel funcs
add note about msr to KeSetCurrentStackPointers
add X_STATUS_OBJECT_TYPE_MISMATCH check for xeNtSetEvent
add msr_mask field to X_KPCR
Block members can be decorated with Invariant only since SPIR-V 1.5 Revision 2. In earlier versions, Invariant can be used only for variables. Mesa warns about this.
Remove dead #if 0'd code in math.h
On amd64, page_size == 4096 constant, on amd64 w/ win32, allocation_granularity == 65536. These values for x86 windows havent changed over the last 20 years so this is probably safe
and gives a modest code size reduction
Enable XE_USE_KUSER_SHARED. This sources host time from KUSER_SHARED instead of from QueryPerformanceCounter, which is far faster, but only has a granularity of 100 nanoseconds.
In some games seemingly random crashes were happening that were hard to trace because
the faulting thread was actually not the one that was misbehaving, another threads stack was underflowing into the faulting thread.
Added a bunch of code to synchronize the guest stack and host stack so that if a guest longjmps the host's stack will be adjusted.
Changes were also made to allow the guest to call into a piece of an existing x64 function.
This synchronization might have a slight performance impact on lower end cpus, to disable it set enable_host_guest_stack_synchronization to false.
It is possible it may have introduced regressions, but i dont know of any yet
So far, i know the synchronization change fixes the "hub crash" in super sonic and allows the game "london 2012" to go ingame.
Removed emit_useless_fpscr_updates, not emitting these updates breaks the raiden game
MapGuestAddressToMachineCode now returns nullptr if no address was found, instead of the start of the function
add Processor::LookupModule
Add Backend::DeinitializeBackendContext
Use WriteRegisterRangeFromRing_WithKnownBound<0, 0xFFFF> in WriteRegisterRangeFromRing for inlining (previously regressed on performance of ExecutePacketType0)
add notes about flags that trap in XamInputGetCapabilities
0 == 3 in XamInputGetCapabilities
Name arg 2 of XamInputSetState
PrefetchW in critical section kernel funcs if available & doing cmpxchg
Add terminated field to X_KTHREAD, set it on termination
Expanded the logic of NtResumeThread/NtSuspendThread to include checking the type of the handle (in release, LookupObject doesnt seem to do anything with the type)
and returning X_STATUS_OBJECT_TYPE_MISMATCH if invalid. Do termination check in NtSuspendThread.
Add basic host exception messagebox, need to flesh it out more (maybe use the new stack tracking stuff if on guest thrd?)
Add rdrand patching hack, mostly affects users with nvidia cards who have many threads on zen
Use page_size_shift in more places
Once again disable precompilation! Raiden is mostly weird ppc asm which probably breaks the precompilation. The code is still useful for running the compiler over the whole of an xex in debug to test for issues
"Fix" debug console, we were checking the cvar before any cvars were loaded, and the condition it checks in AttachConsole is somehow always false

add msr field on context
write to msr for mtmsr/mfmsr, do not have correct default value for msr yet, nor has mtmsrd been reimplemented
do not evaluate assert expressions in release at all, while still avoiding unused variable warnings
Also cleanup the code involved in dialog registration, and update the explanation of why dialog removal is delayed until the end of drawing (the original was written back when window listener and UI drawer callback registration during the execution of the callbacks was deferred, but that was wrong as that might result in execution of callbacks belonging to now-deleted objects).
properly byteswap r13 for spinlock
Add PPCOpcodeBits
stub out broken fpscr updating in ppc_hir_builder. it's just code that repeatedly does nothing right now.
add note about 0 opcode bytes being executed to ppc_frontend
Add assert to check that function end is greater than function start, can happen with malformed functions
Disable prefetch and cachecontrol by default, automatic hardware prefetchers already do the job for the most part
minor cleanup in simplification_pass, dont loop optimizations, let the pass manager do it for us
Add experimental "delay_via_maybeyield" cvar, which uses MaybeYield to "emulate" the db16cyc instruction
Add much faster/simpler way of directly calling guest functions, no longer have to do a byte by byte search through the generated code
Generate label string ids on the fly
Fix unused function warnings for prefetch on clang, fix many other clang warnings
Eliminated majority of CallNativeSafes by replacing them with naive generic code paths.
^ Vector rotate left, vector shift left, vector shift right, vector shift arithmetic right, and vector average are included
These naive paths are implemented small loops that stash the two inputs to the stack and load them in gprs from there, they are not particularly fast but should be an order of magnitude faster than callnativesafe
to a host function, which would involve a call, stashing all volatile registers, an indirect call, potentially setting up a stack frame for the arrays that the inputs get stashed to, the actual operations, a return, loading all volatile registers, a return, etc
Added the fast SHR_V128 path back in
Implement signed vector average byte, signed vector average word. previously we were emitting no code for them. signed vector average byte appears in many games
Fix bug with signed vector average 32, we were doing unsigned shift, turning negative values into big positive ones potentially
