This existed in the initial megacommit (though I don't know why) as IO_SIZE. It was used in Memmap's Init() to compute totalMemSize, but I don't know if it actually did anything then. That use was removed in 2d0f714546, but the constant persisted until cc858c63b8, when it became a static variable.
This is used when fastmem isn't available. Instead of always falling
back to the C++ code in MMU.cpp, the JIT translates addresses on its
own by looking them up in a table that Dolphin constructs. This is
slower than fastmem, but faster than the old non-fastmem code.
This is primarily useful for iOS, since that's the only major platform
nowadays where you can't reliably get fastmem. I think it would make
sense to merge this feature to master despite this, since there's
nothing actually iOS-specific about the feature. It would be of use
for me when I have to disable fastmem to stop Android Studio from
constantly breaking on segfaults, for instance.

These GetPointer calls could cause crashes, in part because the
callers didn't do null checks and in part because GetPointer
inherently is unsafe to use for accesses larger than 1 byte.

Changed several enums from Memmap.h to be static vars and implemented Get functions to query them. This seems to have boosted speed a bit in some titles? The new variables and some previously statically initialized items are now initialized via Memory::Init() and the new AddressSpace::Init(). s_ram_size_real and the new s_exram_size_real in particular are initialized from new OnionConfig values "MAIN_MEM1_SIZE" and "MAIN_MEM2_SIZE", only if "MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE" is true.
GUI features have been added to Config > Advanced to adjust the new OnionConfig values.
A check has been added to State::doState to ensure savestates with memory configurations different from the current settings aren't loaded. The STATE_VERSION is now 115.
FIFO Files have been updated from version 4 to version 5, now including the MEM1 and MEM2 sizes from the time of DFF creation. FIFO Logs not using the new features (OnionConfig MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE is false) are still backwards compatible. FIFO Logs that do use the new features have a MIN_LOADER_VERSION of 5. Thanks to the order of function calls, FIFO logs are able to automatically configure the new OnionConfig settings to match what is needed. This is a bit hacky, though, so I also threw in a failsafe for if the conditions that allow this to work ever go away.
I took the liberty of adding a log message to explain why the core fails to initialize if the MIN_LOADER_VERSION is too great.
Some IOS code has had the function "RAMOverrideForIOSMemoryValues" appended to it to recalculate IOS Memory Values from retail IOSes/apploaders to fit the extended memory sizes. Worry not, if MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE is false, this function does absolutely nothing.
A hotfix in DolphinQt/MenuBar.cpp has been implemented for RAM Override.
This moves all the byte swapping utilities into a header named Swap.h.
A dedicated header is much more preferable here due to the size of the
code itself. In general usage throughout the codebase, CommonFuncs.h was
generally only included for these functions anyway. These being in their
own header avoids dumping the lesser used utilities into scope. As well
as providing a localized area for more utilities related to byte
swapping in the future (should they be needed). This also makes it nicer
to identify which files depend on the byte swapping utilities in
particular.
Since this is a completely new header, moving the code uncovered a few
indirect includes, as well as making some other inclusions unnecessary.
It wouldn't impact performance until at least one memcheck is enabled. Because of this, it can be used in release builds without much impact, the only thing that woudl change is the use of HasAny method instead of preprocessor conditionals. Since the perforamnce decrease comes right when the first memcheck is added and restored when the last is removed, it basically is all beneficial and works the same way.
Fundamentally, all this does is enforce the invariant that we always
translate effective addresses based on the current BAT registers and
page table before we do anything else with them.
This change can be logically divided into three parts. The first part is
creating a table to represent the current BAT state, and keeping it up to
date (PowerPC::IBATUpdated, PowerPC::DBATUpdated, etc.). This does
nothing by itself, but it's necessary for the other parts.
The second part (mostly in MMU.cpp) is simply removing all the hardcoded
checks for specific untranslated addresses, and consistently translating
addresses using the current BAT configuration. Very straightforward, but a
lot of code changes because we hardcoded assumptions all over the place.
The third part (mostly in Memmap.cpp) is making the fastmem arena reflect
the current BAT configuration. We do this by redoing the mapping (calling
memmap()) based on the BAT table whenever it changes.
One additional minor change is that translation can fail in two ways:
either the segment is a direct store segment, or page table lookup failed.
The difference doesn't usually matter, but the difference affects cache
instructions, like dcbz.
Reading uninitalized memory is non-deterministic. We used to only
clear the memory when using EmulatedBS2_GC or FifoPlayer, but we
now do it during Memory::Init instead so it always gets done.
