* misc-speedups:
fixed and reenabled and slightly optimized the JIT version of fcmpo/fcmpu.
slightly more precise speed percent display (this is really minor)
a small thread synchronization speedup for dual core mode. it's most noticeable in games where the CPU is running behind compared to the GPU.
Conflicts:
Source/Core/Core/Src/PowerPC/Jit64/Jit.cpp
The Fifo.cpp changes from rdaefb3b550e2 was not merged as there was no performance benefit.
please test for regressions, speed and for other issues fixed, as a example, the black color in water splash in super mario galaxy are fixed with this rev.
please as soon as yo find a bug let me know.
a little code cleaning to avoid duplicated execution of AlphaPreTest and a little correction to some comments from the previous commits.
this change must behave exactly like last revision, if something is broken please let me know
to marcosvitali.
Added an external exception check when the CPU writes to the FIFO. This allows
the CPU time to service FIFO overflows. Fixes random hangs caused by FIFO
overflows and desyncs like in "The Last Story" and "Battalion Wars 2". Thanks
to marcosvitali for the research.
Added some code to unlink invalidated blocks so that the recompiled block can be
linked (speed-up).
This release still fixed the hangs produced by fifo overflow without sacrifice
performance. For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now
is fluid 30/60.
Fixed possibles random hangs in DC mode.
Fixed hangs in DC mode in (Simpsons, Monkey Island, Pokemon XD, etc)
Implemented accurate management of Pixel Engine Interrupts. Now the GPU loop
is stopped when a PE Interrupt needs to be managed and resumed when Pixel Engine
finish.
Fixed Metroid Prime 3 and 2 desync. And other games with desync because of
FIFO Reset. That happens because FIFO_RW_DISTANCE_HI must be written first, for checking
fifo.CPReadWriteDistance == 0, so some fifo resets was not managed in the right
way.
Fixed Super Monkey Ball in some cases when the game write the
WriteReadDistance need to be safe like the SafeCPRead.
Improved the CheckException for the GatherPipe writes in JIT, now only the
External Exceptions are processed.
Fixed definitely Pokemon XD in dual core mode. This game is doing something
not allowed. It attach to CPU the same fifo attached to the GPU in multibuffer
mode. I added a check to prevent overwrite the GPU FIFO with the CPU FIFO. If
the game do that on breakpoint the solution can fail.
Fixed ReadWriteDistance calc when CPRead > CPWrite.
Added Token and Finish cause to GP Jit checking.
Additional cleanup in CommandProcessor.
Fixes issue 5209
Fixes issue 5055
Fixes issue 4889
Fixes issue 4061
Fixes issue 4010
Fixes issue 3902
For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now is fluid 30/60.
Shuffle2: I've delete the hacky line, I think is not necessary anymore. Additional some clean in CommandProcessor.
Please test The Last Story and others games affected in the previous commits and give me a feedback.
To use the native code handler, place the kenobiwii.bin file into the Sys directory. Dolphin will silently fall-back to the emulated code handler if the file is not there.
Fixes issue 4561.
Use the clobber list instead of the stack to save rbx when executing the cpuid
instruction with inline assembly. This avoids breaking GCC assumptions about
the stack pointer location.
more specifically: if the emulator stops unexpectedly, it is quite possible that one of the shader cache files will have some bytes near the end that never got their values filled in. this change adds an index number at the end of each entry as extra verification that the entry is valid, so that invalid entries can be ignored (and eventually overwritten) instead of causing crashes.
This should make it so if you try to load an incompatible save, it simply doesn't load, instead of crashing dolphin. (I can't guarantee no crash but it's much less likely now)
The code from 748be364e5 incorrectly accepted -0x100000000 on x86_64.
Also if ERANGE is returned by strtoul(), reject the parsed value regardless
of what that value is. This fixes invalid values being returned when compiling
with Visual C++. Thanks to "cotton" for testing this.
On x86-64, "unsigned long" is 64 bits wide, so it is possible for a number
to not trigger a range error on strtoul() but still not fit inside an u32.
An extra check is added to ensure that 32-bit and 64-bit builds will accept
the same numbers.
Passing MAP_FIXED to mmap causes already mapped pages in the requested
region to be replaced. On Mac OS X this caused pages for JIT-generatd
code to appear in the memory range previously auto-allocated for the RAM
of the emulated machine. This led to a hang at boot time. The same problem
can probably occur on FreeBSD, but not on Linux since MAP_32BIT is used
there instead of MAP_FIXED.
The solution is to not use MAP_FIXED, but instead rely on the OS honoring
the hinted address which is below 4 GB: we don't need an exact match,
just a low address.
hopefully this will be the last code change committed directly to master for a while... :/
next is cmake to replace scons on osx hopefully. pointers anyone? (soren?)
Also fix the wxMessageAlert called from non-gui threads in the WXGTK build to use the passed caption.

This is mostly useful for removing SHLs by constant 1, 2, 3, which this
commit implements in one place.

Removes the ugliness that was the portable file, and now creating a shortcut or file association is less of a pain
it is still necessary to modify the file association from ".../dolphin.exe" "%1" to ".../dolphin.exe" /e "%1"

when nand root is changed the current sysconf is saved,
and the sysconf in the new location is either loaded (if exists)
or the default sysconf is created
wii menu item is updated when the root changes
small fix to saving gamelist paths to .ini paths that are removed from the gui are now removed from the ini instead of simply changing the number of paths

add ticket to CNANDContentLoader
move wad installer to CNANDContentManager
system menu can now be launched from a wad file without being installed first, (return to system menu from another title will still only work if system menu is installed)
cdb.vff: flushed to disc immediately, creates if the file exists but is too small, moved creation to Boot_WiiWad

we already copy the file to memory here, now we also copy the file to
1/2/data/
This should really fix issue 4287.
