The SDK seems to write "default" bounding box values before every draw
(1023 0 1023 0 are the only values encountered so far, which happen to
be the extents allowed by the BP registers) to reset the registers for
comparison in the pixel engine, and presumably to detect whether GX has
updated the registers with real values. Handling these writes and
returning them on read when bounding box emulation is disabled or
unsupported, even without computing real values from rendering, seems
to prevent games from corrupting memory or crashing.
This obviously does not fix any effects that rely on bounding box
emulation, but having the game not clobber its own code/data or just
outright crash is a definite improvement.
We also need to ensure the the CPU does not receive stale values
which have been updated by the GPU. Apparently the buffer here
is not coherent on NVIDIA drivers. Not sure if this is a driver
bug/spec violation or not, one would think that
glGetBufferSubData() would invalidate any caches as needed, but
this path is only used on NVIDIA anyway, so it's fine. A point
to note is that according to ARB_debug_report, it's moved from
video to host memory, which would explain why it needs the
cache invalidate.
This fixes rendering issues in Viewtiful Joe (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12525), but it is not entirely hardware accurate, as hardware testing showed other, more complex behavior in this case. However, it should be good enough for our purposes.
Looks like the option was added to the Wx UI at commit 198d3b69, which
was a few months after the advancedWidget was originally ported from
Wx to Qt, but before anyone was actually using Qt.
Adds a new PlatformID for universal builds. This will allow single architecture
builds to be updated through the single architecture path, and universal builds
to be updated with universal builds.
-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
This fixes a nasty issue where you can change the Dual Core setting
during emulation, if it has been overridden by GameINI or NetPlay, by
simply changing any of the non-disabled settings. This is because
changing any of the settings will write all of them to the config.
This issue is particularly nasty because managing to disable Dual Core
during emulation, and then stopping it, results in the emulator core
being totally deadlocked. It's impossible to recover from this state,
and Dolphin will remain as a zombie process on the system, consuming
resources and holding locks, until forcibly killed.
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.
Removed the unavailable CPU core dialog box that asked users to change their
selected CPU core to one that is available. Instead, Dolphin now just overrides
the core to the default, and logs that it performed the override.
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
Shouldn't have any behaviour change for regular usage as both masks are 32MB
by default.
But fixes theoretical buffer overrun when memory size override is used.
The interpreter implementation of fctiwx was treating rounding
mode 0 as "round to nearest, ties towards zero", which is not
an actual IEEE-754 rounding mode. The IBM document mentioned
in a comment at the top of the function, on the other hand,
treats rounding mode 0 as "round to nearest, ties to even",
which makes more sense.
This fixes one of JMC's console-recorded F-Zero GX replays on
JitArm64. (JitArm64 uses an interpreter fallback for fctiwx.)
The GC/Wii GPU rasterizes in 2x2 pixel groups, so bounding box values
will be rounded to the extents of these groups, rather than the exact
pixel. To account for this, we'll round the top/left down to even and
the bottom/right up to odd. I have verified that the values resulting
from this change exactly match a real Wii.
