If we want to allow submitting multiple pieces of work to the GPU at once while still requiring CPU synchronization, we'll need to track all past fence cycles associated with a resource alongside the current one. To solve this the concept of chaining fences has been introduced, fences from past usages can be chained to the latest fence which'll then recursively forward operations to chained fences.
This change also ends up mandating a move away from `FenceCycleDependency` as it would prevent fences from concurrently locking the same resources which is required for chaining to work as two fences being chained fundamentally means they're locking the same resources. The `AtomicForwardList` is therefore used as the new container.
An implementation of a singly-linked list with atomic access to allow for lock-free access semantics, it eliminates the requirement for a mutex which can introduce additional consideration for synchronization.
Resources on the GPU can be fairly convoluted and involve overlaps which can lead to the same GPU resources being utilized with different views, we previously utilized fences to lock resources to prevent concurrent access but this was overly harsh as it would block usage of resources till GPU completion of the commands associated with a resource.
Fences have now been replaced with locks but locks run into the issue of being per-view and therefore to add a common object for tracking usage the concept of "tags" was introduced to track a single context so locks can be skipped if they're from the same context. This is important to prevent a deadlock when locking a resource which has been already locked from the current context with a different view.
We do not want to allow saving of user data on unsigned builds as they don't have a stable signature and will not properly handle reinstallation. This can lead to a situation where the user has to resort to complex techniques to completely uninstall the package such as ADB or calling into PM directly.
We currently present all frames synchronously on the thread that calls into SurfaceFlinger functions, this is unoptimal as it doesn't match guest behavior which can lead to delaying the guest from working on the next frame. This commit queuing up frames to non-blocking and handles all waiting then presenting the frame on a dedicated thread.
We utilize `pthread_setname_np` to set the thread names but didn't check for any errors which resulted in the `Skyline-Choreographer` and `ChannelCmdFifo` not having proper names as they exceeded the 16 character limit on thread names for the pthread function. This has now been fixed by changing the names and introducing error checking to invocations of this function.
All our normal alignment functions are designed to only handle power of 2 (`POT`) multiples as we only align or check alignment to `POT` multiples but there are cases where this is not possible and we deal with `NPOT` multiples which is why this function is required.
We waited on the host GPU after `Execute` but this isn't optimal as it causes a major stall on the CPU which can lead to several adverse effects such as downclocking by the governor and losing the opportunity to work in parallel with the GPU.
This has now been fixed by splitting `Execute`'s functionality into two functions: `Submit` and `SubmitWithFlush` which both execute all nodes and submit the resulting command buffer to the GPU but flushing will wait on the GPU to complete while the non-flush variant will not wait and work ahead of the GPU.
We need move-assignment semantics to viably utilize these objects as class members, they cannot be replaced without move-assign (or copy-assign but that is undesirable here). This commit fixes that by introducing a move assignment operator to them while making the `slot` a pointer which has the necessary nullability semantics.
This change lets items get the updated position of their view holder in the adapter. Fixes an issue where the position of items was not updated after being removed from a `SelectableGenericAdapter`.
This preference launches `GpuDriverActivity` for managing custom gpu drivers. When the device has an incompatible GPU, the preference will be disabled and greyed out.
The activity adds the following functionalities:
* Lists installed drivers
* Allows the user to install new drivers, or remove installed ones
* Allows the user to select the driver that will be used by the emulator
At some point we will call Submit within draws or constant buffer updates, to avoid any infinite recursion mark draw/cbuf pending as false before performing any operation
The previous name was chosen as an afterthought and didn't clearly indicate what the purpose of the class is. We needed a separate, simple class without delegates members (like PreferenceSettings), so that its fields can be easily accessed via JNI to get settings values from native code.
The `Settings` class now has a pure virtual `Update` method, and uses inheritance over template specialization for platform-specific behavior override.
A `Setting` delegate class has been introduced, holding the raw value of the setting and adding support for registering callbacks to that setting. Callbacks will then be called when the value of that setting changes.
As a result of this, raw setting values have been made accessible through pointer dereference semantics.
SharedPreferences will be partially swapped out in the future to support per-game settings. In the meantime, make it clear from which class settings are coming from.
Settings are now shared to the native side by passing an instance of the Kotlin's `Settings` class. This way the C++ `Settings` class doesn't need to parse the SharedPreferences xml anymore.
Mali GPU drivers utilize the `ppoll()` syscall inside `waitForFences` which isn't correctly restarted after a signal, which we can receive at any time on a guest thread. This commit fixes that by recursively calling the function on failure till it succeeds or returns an unexpected error.

This conforms to the C++ 'Allocator' named requirement allowing it to be used with any STL type and allows drastically reducing allocation times in cases which are suited for linear allocation.
Certain non-indexed quad draws would mistakenly take the indexed quad path because of the assumption that they would not have a bound index buffer. This resulted in a crash for most games using quads due to a faulty exception `Indexed quad conversion is not supported`, when in fact they were not using indexed quads.

This commit implements several key optimisations in megabuffering that are all inherently interlinked.
- Megabuffering is moved from per-buffer to per-view copies, this makes megabuffering possible for small views into larger underlying buffers which is often the case with even the simplest of games,
- Megabuffering is no longer the default option, it is only enabled for buffer views that have had inline GPU writes applied to them in the past as that is the only case where they are beneficial. In any other case the cost of copying, even with a 128KiB limit can be significant.
- With both of these changes, there is now possibility for overlapping views where one uses megabuffering and one does not. In order to allow GPU inline writes to work consistently in such cases a system of 'host immutability' has been implemented, when a buffer is marked as host immutable for a given cycle, all writes to the buffer from that point to the point the cycle is signalled will be performed on the GPU, ensuring that the backing contents are correctly sequenced
We don't always have access to CI secrets, such as, when a certain CI action is triggered by a PR from an external repository then it won't have access to secrets and be signed. While we likely will allow for this in the future as all workflows do have to be approved, it is still important to not crash when keys are unavailable and have a graceful fallback for those situations.
Has the same guarantees of pointer stabilty while also being significantly faster in cases where a buffer has thousands of views. This is the case in RE4 and this change leads to an almost 1000% performance improvement in that game.
Uses an API found through RE since none of the AOSP APIs work, additionaly the code for setting RR was consolidated to a single function that can be ran after all display updates.
We currently have a global `MegaBuffer` instance that is shared across all channels, this is very problematic as `MegaBuffer` fundamentally works like a state machine with allocations (especially resetting/freeing) and is thread-specific. Therefore, we now have a pool of several `MegaBuffer`s which is allocated from by the `CommandExecutor` and kept channel specific as a result which also limits its usage to a single thread, this allows for individually resetting or freeing any allocations.
There was a lot of redundant code in the `CommandScheduler` when the same functionality could be achieved with much shorter and cleaner code which this commit fixes. This includes no changes to the user-facing API and does not require any changes on the user side as a result.
Some games remap rendertargets or map them late which would lead to weird graphical bugs or crashes. Drop the caching since VMM lookup is fairly cheap anyway.
The `VkBufferImageCopy` offset calculations were wrong inside `CopyIntoStagingBuffer` as it multiplied the mip level's linear size by `levelCount` rather than `layerCount`. This led to substantial UB in games which called this function as it led to an overflow and resulted in writing to other areas of the buffer which caused major issues such as vertex/index buffer corruption and corresponding graphical glitches alongside likely being the cause of some crashes.
BC7 CPU decoding had the red and blue channels swapped around as it outputted a BGRA image after decoding while we expected an RGBA image to be produced. This should fix the colors of certain textures in titles such as Cuphead or Sonic Forces.
The syncpoint maximum value represents the maximum possible syncpt value at a given time, however due to PBs being submitted before max was incremented, for a brief moment of time this is not the case which could lead to crashes or other such behaviour if a game waits on the fence at the right moment.
We used a `FileProvider` for log sharing prior, this is no longer necessary since it comes under the `DocumentsProvider` now which can be utilized to share the log document directly.
Any documents with the same name existing in a directory that is copied to would cause an exception due to existing already, this fixes that by handling conflict resolution in those cases and automatically determining a file name that would avoid a conflict.
Previously a broken state value was returned from GetState that caused crashes in games using newer SDKs and NFP, correctly handle state now by updating it after initialisation.
We can't render to a 3D texture through a 3D view, we instead have to create a 2D array view into it and render to that. The texture manager previously didn't support having a different view type/layer count between a guest texture view and the underlying storage texture that is required to support this so that was also implemented by reading the view layer count from the dimensions depth instead if the underlying texture is 3D (and the view type is 2D array). Additionally move away from our own view type enum to Vulkan, inline with other guest texture member types.
