As part of this commit, a new preference category for debug settings is being introduced. All future settings only relevant for debugging purposes will be put there. The category is hidden on release builds.
Host synchronization of a guest texture with a different guest format represents a valid use case where the host doesn't support the guest format and conversion to a host-compatible format must be performed. The issue is most evident on Mali GPUs, as they don't support BCn texture formats thus needing manual decoding before submission. It was disabled by mistake in a previous commit, this commit re-enables it.
Unindexed quad draws were broken when multiple draw calls were done on the same vertex buffer, with a non-zero `first` index.
Indexed quad draws also suffered from the same issue, but was never encountered in games.
This commit fixes both cases by accounting for the `first` drawn index when generating conversion index buffers.
TIPC is a much lighter layer ontop of the Horizon IPC system than CMIF and is used by SM in 12.0.0+. This implementation is slightly hacky since it doesn't really keep a seperation between the underlying kernel IPC stuff and userspace like CMIF/TIPC, this should be fixed eventually, probably together with an IPC dispatch rewrite to avoid the mess of frozen maps.
Tested with Hentai Uni, which now crashes needing 'ldr:ro'.
Tapping anything in titles that supported touch (such as Puyo Puyo Tetris or Sonic Mania) wouldn't work due to the first touch point never being removed from the screen, it is supposed to be removed after a 3 frame delay from the touch ending.
This commit introduces a mechanism to "time-out" touch points which counts down during the shared memory updates and removes them from the screen after a specified timeout duration.
Certain titles depend on HID LIFO entries being written out at a fixed frequency rather than on actual state change, not doing this can lead to applications freezing till the LIFO is filled up to maximum size, this behavior is seen in Super Mario Odyssey. In other cases such as Metroid Dread, the game can run into race conditions that would lead to crashes, these were worked around by smashing a button during loading prior.
This commit introduces a thread which sleeps and wakes up occasionally to write LIFO entries into HID shared memory at the desired frequencies. This alleviates any issues as it fills up the LIFO instantly and correctly emulates HID Shared Memory behavior expected by the guest.

It was determined that deadlocks inside `KThread::UpdatePriorityInheritance` would not only arise from the first level of locking with `waitingOn->waiterMutex` but also the second level of locking with `nextThread->waiterMutex` which has now also been fixed to fallback when facing contention.
PR #1758 introduced a bug where the game list would be entirely loaded every time the app was opened. This commit addresses that issue, which was caused by the `version` member of the cached game list being serialized to file (although incorrectly) but never actually read back when deserializing.
* Remove `package` from manifest and from activity prefixes, gradle `namespace` will be used instead
* Removed deprecated `android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY` metadata
entries
* Make `MainActivity` and `SettingsActivity` launched in `singleTop` mode to avoid unnecessary activity restarts while navigating the app
Using `__attribute__((packed))` doesn't work in new NDKs when a struct contains 128-bit integer members, likely because of a ndk/compiler bug. We now enclose the requiring structs in `#pragma pack` directives to tightly pack them.
Since the blit engine itself samples from pixel corners and the helper shader from pixel centres teh src coordinates need to be adjusted to avoid the helper shader wrapping round on the final column.
We previously missed the hades pass for attribute conversion leading to crashes when games would attempt to use such an attribute. The hades pass for this isn't a proper fix however as it modifies the IR directly and will break if any of the previous stages in the pipeline change. Enable it to allow for games using them to at least have a chance at working. In the long term the pass will be reworked on the hades side to avoid modifying the IR in a way that can't be undone.
This vertex state must only be present for the last pipeline stage that touches vertices, if it is present for other stages it could result in incorrect behaviour like performing TFB in the fragment shader or flipping device coordinates twice.
As the code was before, if we had a shader that was disabled and enabled again after without being invalidated the pipeline stage would stay disabled and break rendering.
We previously only supported non-indexed quads. Support for this is implemented by converting the index buffer at record time and pushing the result into the megabuffer, which is then used as the index buffer in the final draw command.
The `Allocate` method allocates the given amount of space in a megabuffer chunk, returning a descriptor of the allocated region. This is useful for situations where you want to write directly to the megabuffer, avoiding the need for an intermediary buffer.
Entirely rewrites the engine and interconnect code to take advantage of the subpixel and OOB blit support offered by the blit helper shader. The interconnect code is also cleaned up significantly with the 'context' naming being dropped due to potential conflicts with the 'context' from context lock
It is desirable for us to use a shader for blits to allow easily emulating out of bounds blits and blits between different swizzled colour formats. The helper shader infrastructure is designed to be generic so it can be reused by any other helper shaders that we may need in the future.
These sometimes spuriously occur in games during transitions, to avoid crashing during them just use the null texture if they occur and log an error log
The constant destruction and creation of `BufferView`s in cbuf-heavy games showed up as a large chunk of the profiler. Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that constant buffer `BufferView`s are never deleted and always kept around in the cache to just return a pointer to them in the cache.
Currently we heavily thrash the heap each draw, with malloc/free taking up about 10% of GPFIFOs execution time. Using a linear allocator for the main offenders of buffer usage callbacks and index/vertex state helps to reduce this to about 4%
Certain titles can have a display frames out of order due to not waiting on the copy from the final RT to the swapchain image to occur. Although `PresentFrame` does wait on the syncpoint, that isn't enough to ensure the source texture is up-to-date due to us signalling syncpoints early.
By waiting on the swapchain texture after the copy is submitted, we now implicitly wait on the source texture's cycle to be signalled thus waiting on the frame to be done which fixes the issue.
After the introduction of workahead a system to hold a single large megabuffer per submission was implemented, this worked fine for most cases however when many submissions were flight at the same time memory usage would increase dramatically due to the amount of megabuffers needed. Since only one megabuffer was allowed per execution, it forced the buffer to be fairly large in order to accomodate the upper-bound, even further increasing memory usage.
This commit implements a system to fix the memory usage issue described above by allowing multiple megabuffers to be allocated per execution, as well as reuse across executions. Allocations now go through a global allocator object which chooses which chunk to allocate into on a per-allocation scale, if all are in use by the GPU another chunk will be allocated, that can then be reused for future allocations too. This reduces Hollow Knight megabuffer memory usage by a factor 4 and SMO by even more.
Accesses to unset entries is now clearly defined as returning a 0'd out value, the prior behavior would be to optimize sets for border segments to use L2 atomicity when the specific segment had no L1 entries set. This would lead to any future lookups of offsets within the same L2 segment but a different L1 entry to incorrectly return an inaccurate value as the only prior guarantee was that lookups after setting a segment would return the same value as was set but lacked the guarantee for unset segments to also consistently return unset values.
This could lead to issues in practical usages such as the `BufferManager` lookups returning the existence of a `Buffer` at a location falsely even though the segment was never set to the value, this was problematic as raw pointers were utilized and bound checks would lead to a segmentation fault.
This commit fixes this issue by introducing this guarantee and refactoring the class accordingly, it also deletes the `Set` method for setting a single entry as the meaning is ambiguous and it's functionality was more akin to the past guarantee and no longer makes sense.

We would always write all L1 entries that correspond to an L2 entry, even if setting an input range ended before that. This would effectively reduce the atomicity of the segment table to that of the L2 range and lead to breaking API guarantees by returning entirely wrong segment values for a lookup covering a region that was overwritten.
It was determined that `RangeTable` was too ambiguous of a name as it could be interpreted to be holding ranges rather than looking them up, to avoid confusion the terminology has been changed to `range` to `segment`. As "segment table" is more clear in describing that it is a table comprised of descriptors regarding segments and it avoids any overlaps with terminology concerning "pages" which would be overly specific for this data structure or the ambiguous "ranges".
The PI CAS in `MutexUnlock` ends up loading `basePriority` rather than `priority` which could lead to an infinite CAS loop when `basePriority` doesn't equal to `priority` and the `highestPriorityThread`'s priority is lower than `basePriority`.
It was determined that `Texture::SynchronizeGuest`'s `TextureBufferCopy` had races that were exposed by the introduction of the cycle waiter thread, the synchronization did not take place under a locked context so the texture could be mutated at any point in addition to the destructor not being run during `FenceCycle::Wait` due to `shouldDestroy` being `false`.
This commit fixes the issue by making `SynchronizeGuest` entirely blocking as all usages of the function required blocking semantics regardless so it would be pointless to retain its async nature while solving any races that may arise from it being async.

Since we don't call `SynchronizeHost` on source buffers which are GPU dirty, their mirrors will be out of date. The backing contents of this source buffer's region in the new buffer will be incorrect. By copying from the backing directly, we can ensure that no writes are lost and that if the newly created buffer needs to turn GPU dirty during recreation no copies need to be done since the backing is as up to date as the mirror at a minimum.
The code is much simpler to reason about when reading the code as it doesn't require evaluating all the potential edge cases of trap handlers in different states. It should be noted that this should not change behavior in any meaningful way, at most it can prevent a minor race where the protection could be upgraded after being downgraded by the signal handler leading to a redundant trap.
Two issues exist with locking of `KThread::waiterMutex`:
* It was not always locked when accessing waiter members such as `waitThread`, `waitKey` and `waitTag` which would lead to a race that could end up in a deadlock or most notably a segfault inside `UpdatePriorityInheritance`
* There could be a deadlock from `UpdatePriorityInheritance` locking `waiterMutex` of a thread and waiting to get the owner's `waiterMutex` while on another thread `MutexUnlock` holds the owner's `waiterMutex` and waits on locking the `waiterMutex` held by `UpdatePriorityInheritance`
This commit fixes both issues by adding appropriate locking to all locations where waiter members are accessed in addition to adding a fallback mechanism inside `UpdatePriorityInheritance` that unlocks `waiterMutex` on contention to avoid a deadlock.
The condition for exiting the CAS loops is incorrect in several places which leads to additional loops, while this doesn't make the behavior incorrect it does lead to redundant iterations.

A substantial amount of time would be spent on creation/destruction of `VkDescriptorSet` which scales on titles doing a substantial amount of draws with bindings, this leads to poor performance on those titles as the frametime is dragged down by performing these tasks while they repeatedly create descriptor sets of the same layouts.
This commit fixes it by pooling descriptor sets per-layout in a dynamically resizable pool and keeping them around rather than destroying them after usage which leads to the vast majority of cases not requiring a new descriptor set to even be created. It leads to significantly improved performance where it would otherwise be spent on redundant destruction/recreation or push descriptor updates which took a substantial amount of time themselves.
Additionally, the `BaseDescriptorSizes` were not kept up to date with all of the descriptor types, it led to no crashes on Adreno/Mali as they were purely used for size calculations on either driver but has been corrected to avoid any future issues.
A substantial amount of time is spent destroying dependencies for any threads waiting or polling `FenceCycle`s, this is not optimal as it blocks them from moving onto other tasks while destruction is a fundamentally async task and can be delayed.
This commit solves this by introducing a thread that is dedicated to waiting on every `FenceCycle` then signalling and destroying all dependencies which entirely fixes the issue of destruction blocking on more important threads.
Buffer lookups are a fairly expensive operation that we currently spend `O(log n)` on the simplest and most frequent case of which is a direct match, this is a very frequent operation where that may be insufficient. This commit optimizes that case to `O(1)` by utilizing a `RangeTable` at the cost of slightly higher insertion/deletion costs for setting ranges of values but these are minimal in frequency compared to lookups.
A data structure that can represent the same value for a range of addresses (pages) is required for fast lookup in certain cases. This commit implements a near optimal data structure for mass insertion and O(1) lookup of range-based data, this is achieved using the host MMU and implementing multiple levels of atomicity for the ranges.
It should be noted that the table is limited to two levels but can be extended to a variable amount of ranges in the future, it was determined that additional levels of ranges can be beneficial for performance depending on the specific use-case.
Adreno drivers have certain errata which leads to Vulkan Push Descriptors to be broken on them in certain cases which leads to a descriptor set update being swallowed. This has been worked around by disabling push descriptors on Adreno drivers, this may lead to reduced performance on certain titles which frequently bind new descriptors.
Any semaphore releases are implicit synchronization events that can be utilized by the guest to pick up that the GPU has executed till a certain point and therefore we must submit all prior work accordingly.
DMA copies utilized `SubmitWithFlush` instead of `Submit`, this is not required and incurs significant additional synchronization penalties which will no longer be required.
We want to avoid blocking on surface creation unless necessary, this commit doesn't wait on the creation of the surface as it default initializes the value which'll generally be `Identity` or the transformation of the previous surface if it was lost.

The V-Sync `KEvent` would be used by the presentation thread prior to construction leading to dereferencing an invalid value, this has been fixed by changing the order of construction to move the construction of the presentation thread after the V-Sync event.
The `TrapRegions` function performed a page-out on any regions that were trapped as read-only, this wasn't optimal as it would tie them both into the same operation while Buffers/Textures require to protect then synchronize and page-out. The trap was being moved to after the synchronize to get around this limitation but that can cause a potential race due to certain writes being done after the synchronization but prior to the trap which would be lost. This commit fixes these issues by splitting paging out into `PageOutRegions` which can be called after `TrapRegions` by any API users.

`NCE::TrapRegions` was a bit too overloaded as a method as it implicitly trapped which was unnecessary in all current usage cases, this has now been made more explicit by consolidating the functionality into `NCE::CreateTrap` which handles just creation of the trap and nothing past that, `RetrapRegions` has been renamed to `TrapRegions` and handles all trapping now.

Similar to `Buffer`s, `Texture`s suffered from unoptimal behavior due to using atomics for `DirtyState` and had certain bugs with replacement of the variable at times where it shouldn't be possible which have now been fixed by moving to using a mutex instead of atomics. This commit also updates the API to more closely match what is expected of it now and removes any functions that weren't utilized such as `SynchronizeGuestWithBuffer`.
Having a single variable denoting the exact state of a buffer and the operations that could be performed on it was found to be too restrictive, it's now been expanded into an additional `BackingImmutability` variable but due to these two. We can no longer use atomics without significant additional complexity so all accesses to the state are now mediated through `stateMutex`, a mutex specifically designed for tracking the state.
While designing the system around `stateMutex` it was determined to be more efficient than atomics as it would enforce blocking far less than it would generally have been compared to if the regular atomic fallback of locking the main resource lock which is locked for significantly longer generally.

As a performance sensitive part of code, the NCE Trapping API benefits from having tracing and it helps us better determine where guest code is spending its time for more targeted optimizations.
The lifetime of the `this` pointer in the trap callbacks could be invalid as the lifetime of the underlying `Buffer`/`Texture` object wasn't guaranteed, this commit fixes that by passing a `weak_ptr` of the objects into the callbacks which is locked during the callbacks and ensures that a destroyed object isn't accessed.

The `CommandExecutor`'s `MegaBuffer` was not being updated with the latest `FenceCycle` on being flushed in `SubmitWIthFlush`, this led to the megabuffer being overwritten prior to its GPU-side usage being complete. This commit fixes that by replacing the cycle to the latest cycle and prevents any races that occurred prior.
`FindOrCreate` ended up being monolithic function with poor readability, this commit addresses those concerns by refactoring the function to split it up into multiple member functions of `BufferManager`, while some of these member functions may only have a single call-site they are important to logically categorize tasks into individual functions. The end result is far neater logic which is far more readable and slightly better optimized by virtue of being abstracted better.
In certain cases the move constructor may not suffice and the move assignment operator is required, this commit implements that and moves to using a pointer for storing the `resource` member rather than a reference as its semantics matched what we desired more and allowed for assignment of the `resource`.
It was determined that `FindOrCreate` has several issues which this commit fixes:
* It wouldn't correctly handle locking of the newly created `Buffer` as the constructor would setup traps prior to being able to lock it which could lead to UB
* It wouldn't propagate the `usedByContext`/`everHadInlineUpdate` flags correctly
* It wouldn't correctly set the `dirtyState` of the buffer according to that of its source buffers
The condition for `setDirty` in the dirty state CAS was inverted from what it should've been resulting in synchronizing incorrectly, this commit fixes the condition to correct synchronization.
The formats of the textures involved in a texture were checked for equality, this broke certain copies as the presentation engine would invoke copies between textures of different yet compatible formats.

`ContextLock` had unoptimal semantics in the form of direct access to the `isFirst` member which wasn't clearly defined, it's now been broken up into function calls `IsFirstUsage` and `OwnsLock` with explicit move semantics and a function for releasing the lock.

The position at which we call submit is a significant factor in performance and we did so at the end of PBs (PushBuffers), this isn't optimal as there could be multiple PBs queued up that would benefit from being in the same submission. We now delay the submission of the workload till we run out of PBs.
A buffer that's attached to a context could be coalesced into a larger buffer which isn't attached, this would break as it wouldn't keep the buffer alive till the end of the associated context. To fix this if any source buffers are attached then the resulting coalesced buffer is also attached now.
The CAS condition for KThread PI was inverted which lead to entirely incorrect behavior for CAS conditions which while it might work in the vast majority of cases would lead to significantly inaccurate behavior.
The lock callback would `continue` which would end up skipping over the current item as it applied to the inner loop rather than the outer loop as intended. This has now been fixed by using `break` and a check instead.
The buffer's non-blocking behavior could lead to an invalid state where the dirty state doesn't adequately represent the buffer's true state, the check has now been moved inside the CAS loop as its behavior changes depending on the dirty state. In addition, `SynchronizeGuest` returns a boolean denoting if the synchronization was successful now to make code flows depending on non-blocking synchronization cleaner.
`SynchronizeGuest` could only set the dirty state to `Clean` which was redundant since calls to it from inside the write trap handler would set it to `CpuDirty` directly after, this fixes that by doing it inside the function when necessary.
The trap callbacks did not wait on the `Texture` to complete synchronization to the guest, this resulted in races where the contents written to the texture would be overwritten by the synced content. This commit fixes that by waiting on the fences at the end of the trap callback.
The lifetime of `TextureView` objects wasn't correctly managed as they weren't being attached the the `FenceCycle` in `AttachTexture`, this led to them getting deleted and causing all sorts of UB.
The flush callbacks inside `CommandExecutor` weren't being called prior to submission as they should've been, this fixes that by calling them. It additionally removes the requirement to manually flush Maxwell3D at the end of `ChannelGpfifo` pushbuffers as it's a flush callback and will automatically be called by `Submit`.

Any work that was done in a `ChannelGpfifo` pushbuffer needs to be submitted at the end of it, if it isn't done then the work might incorrectly be not done till the next submission. This commit fixes it by calling `CommandExecutor::Submit` at the end of a pushbuffer, submitting any buffers that would've been left over.
Co-authored-by: Billy Laws <blaws05@gmail.com>
Certain submissions might not utilize megabuffering but reserve a `MegaBuffer` regardless, this is not optimal since it can inflate the allocations and waste memory. This commit addresses the issue by eliding the allocation given the current submission doesn't utilize them.
If a `FenceCycle` isn't attached then `PollFence` returned `false` while it should return if the buffer has any concurrent GPU usages in flight, this has now been fixed by returning `true` in those cases.
Certain resources can be attached to an empty `Submit` with no nodes, this can cause it to become a false dependency and not be removed till the next non-empty submission. This has now been fixed by doing a reset regardless of if any nodes exist.
The GPU inline copy callback was broken for `Buffer::Write` as it wasn't always called when it needed to be and didn't handle attaching of the buffer to the executor which would cause it to be unlocked. This commit addresses both of these issues, it introduces a `AttachLockedBuffer` method to attach an already locked buffer to the executor.
The FPS is implicitly bound to the refresh rate due to the timestamp being that of the presentation time, this leads to a misleading FPS figure for disabled frame throttling. It has now been fixed by using the frame submission time rather than the presentation time when frame throttling is disabled and to make this more apparent the color of the OSD FPS has been changed.
All `Packed` formats have their components stored in the opposite ordering to the label, this was not followed for `IsAdrenoAliasCompatible` prior and the ordering has now been flipped.
A deadlock was caused by holding `trapMutex` while waiting on the lock of a resource inside a callback while another thread holding the resource's mutex waits on `trapMutex`. This has been fixed by no longer allowing blocking locks inside the callbacks and introducing a separate callback for locking the resource which is done after unlocking the `trapMutex` which can then be locked by any contending threads.
The `end` pointer for `interval` was incorrectly calculated as `interval.data() + interval.size_bytes()` which would be incorrect when the interval span type is not `u8` as the pointer derived from `interval.data()` would be a pointer to the span type rather than a byte pointer and be subject to arithmetic of that object's size rather than in terms of a byte.
We generally don't need to lock the `Texture`/`Buffer` in the trap handler, this is particularly problematic now as we hold the lock for the duration of a submission of any workloads. This leads to a large amount of contention for the lock and stalling in the signal handler when the resource may be `Clean` and can simply be switched over to `CpuDirty` without locking and utilizing atomics which is what this commit addresses.
We utilized a `FenceCycle` to keep track of if the buffer was mutable or not and introduced another cycle to track GPU-side requirements only on fulfillment of which could the buffer be utilized on the host but due to the recent change in the behavior this system ended up being unoptimal.
This commit replaces the cycle with a boolean tracking if there are any usages of the resource on the GPU within the current context that may prevent it from being mutated on the CPU. The fence of the context is simply attached to the buffer based off this which was allowed as the new behavior of buffer fences matches all the requirements for this.
An atomic transactional loop was performed on the backing `std::shared_ptr` inside `BufferView`/`TextureView`'s `lock`/`LockWithTag`/`try_lock` functions, these locks utilized `std::atomic_load` for atomically loading the value from the `shared_ptr` recursively till it was the same value pre/post-locking.
This commit abstracts the locking functionality of `TextureView`/`BufferDelegate` into `LockableSharedPtr` to avoid code duplication and removes the usage of `std::atomic_load` in either case as it is not necessary due to the implicit memory barrier provided by locking a mutex.
`PresentationEngine` and `GraphicBufferProducer` methods that utilized textures for the surface utilized the `Texture` type rather than the `TextureView` type, this was never correct but at the time of authoring this code `TextureView` was not finalized and in a major flux which is why it was not utilized and `Texture` was utilized instead. Now that is is far more stable, it has been replaced with `TextureView`.
We want to block on the host thread during presentation while the host surface isn't present to implicitly pause the game, this can end up being fairly costly as it involves locking the `PresentationEngine` mutex which can lead to a lot of contention with the presentation thread. This fixes the issue by polling if there is a surface and only if there isn't then doing the wait as it isn't mandatory to wait always, we'll eventually run into the guest thread stalling.
Newer versions of the Deko3D homebrew were crashing due to this check and it was discovered that the check was incorrect and rather than comparing the `NvSurface` what had to be compared was the `GraphicBuffer` associated with the slot directly.

The copyright headers for external project such as yuzu/Ryujinx were inconsistent in ordering, Skyline should always be the first item in the list. In addition, they didn't always link to the project's GitHub which has also been fixed.
Multiple threads concurrently accessing the `TextureManager`/`BufferManager` (Referred to as "resource managers") has a potential deadlock with a resource being locked while acquiring the resource manager lock while the thread owning it tries to acquire a lock on the resource resulting in a deadlock.
This has been fixed with locking of resource manager now being externally handled which ensures it can be locked prior to locking any resources, `CommandExecutor` provides accessors for retrieving the resource manager which automatically handles locking aside doing so on attachment of resources.
GPU resources have been designed with locking by fences in mind, fences were treated as implicit locks on a GPU, design paradigms such as `GraphicsContext` simply unlocking the texture mutex after attaching it which would set the fence cycle were considered fine prior but are unoptimal as it enforces that a `FenceCycle` effectively ensures exclusivity. This conflates the function of a mutex which is mutual exclusion and that of the fence which is to track GPU-side completion and led to tying if it was acceptable to use a GPU resource to GPU completion rather than simply if it was not currently being used by the CPU which is the function of the mutex.
This rework fixes this with the groundwork that has been laid with previous commits, as `Context` semantics are utilized to move back to using mutexes for locking of resources and tracking the usage on the GPU in a cleaner way rather than arbitrary fence comparisons. This also leads to cleaning up a lot of methods that involved usage of fences that no longer require it and therefore can be entirely removed, further cleaning up the codebase. It also opens the door for future improvements such as the removal of `hostImmutableCycle` and replacing them with better solutions, the implementation of which is broken at the moment regardless.
While moving to `Context`-based locking the question of multiple GPU workloads being in-flight while using overlapping resources came up which brought a fundamental limitation of `FenceCycle` to light which was that only one resource could be concurrently attached to a cycle and it could not adequately represent multi-cycle dependencies. `FenceCycle` chaining was designed to fix this inadequacy and allows for several different GPU workloads to be in-flight concurrently while utilizing the same resources as long as they can ensure GPU-GPU synchronization.
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
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.
