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.
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.
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.
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.
Sampler anisotropy was made a required feature in an earlier commit due to its widespread availability but this was determined to be incorrect as certain Mali GPUs that can otherwise run 2D games in Skyline do not have this feature, while they are still not officially supported as this was the only roadblock to support them, it has now been made an optional feature.
Certain GPU vendors such as ARM's Mali do not have support for BCn textures whatsoever while other vendors such as AMD only have partial support (BC1-BC3). Most titles on the guest utilize BC textures and to address this on host GPUs without support for BCn, we need to decompress the texture on the CPU. This commit implements a CPU BCn texture decoder based off Swiftshader's BC decoder, it also adds the necessary infrastructure to have different formats for the `GuestTexture` and `Texture` objects.
The iterations of the inner loop for sector deswizzling was miscalculated as `SectorWidth * SectorHeight` while the result was correct at `32`, it should be determined by the amount of sector lines within a GOB i.e.: `(GobWidth / SectorWidth) * GobHeight`.
Support for mipmapped textures was not implemented which is fairly crucial to proper rendering of games as the only level that would load is the first level (highest resolution), that might result in a lot more memory bandwidth being utilized. Mipmapping also has associated benefits regarding aliasing as it has a minor anti-aliasing effect on distant textures.
This commit entirely implements mipmapping support but it does not extend to full support for views into specific mipmap levels due to the texture manager implemention being incomplete.
Maxwell DMA requires swizzled copies to/from textures and earlier it had to construct an arbitrary `GuestTexture` to do so but with the introduction of the cleaner API, this has become redundant which this commit cleans up and replaces with direct calls to the API with all the necessary values.
The API for texture swizzling is now more concrete and abstracted out from `GuestTexture`, this allows for neater usage in certain areas such as MaxwellDMA while having a `GuestTexture` wrapper as well allowing for neater usage in those cases.
The code itself has also been cleaned up slightly with all usage of `u32`s being upgraded to `size_t` as this is simply more efficient due to the compiler not needing to emulate wraparound behavior for integer types smaller than the processor word size.
The Fermi 2D engine implements both image blit and resolve operations, supporting subpixel sampling with both linear and point filtering.
Resolve operations are performed by sampling from the center of each pixel in order to resolve the final image from the MSAA samples
MSAA images are stored in memory like regular images but each pixels dimensions are scaled: e.g for 2x2 MSAA
```
112233
112233
445566
445566
```
These would be sampled with both duDx and duDy as 2 (integer part), resolving to the following:
```
123
456
```
Blit operations are performed by sampling from the corner of each pixel, scaling the image as one would expect.
This implementation isn't fully complete as Vulkan blit doesn't support some combinations which Fermi does, most notably between colour and depth stencil. These will be implemented properly at a later date, likely after the texture manager rework.
Out of Bounds Blit, used by some OpenGL games is also missing since supporting it requires texture aliasing, this will also be supported after the texture manager rework.

Certain writes during swizzling went out of bounds due to incorrect `blockExtentY` calculation, the previous commit to fix this ended up breaking it further. This commit returns to the original commit's calculations with the proper addendum of a check for exact alignment with a GOB which is the case that was broken earlier.
The `GuestTexture::GetLayerStride` function was not always being utilized to retrieve the layer stride inside `Texture`, it would instead directly access the `guestTexture::layerStride` member. This is problematic as it may not be initialized and return `0` which would lead to a broken image copy.
Most engines have the capability to release a semaphore payload (or reduce in the case of GPFIFO) when a method is called or action is complete. Semaphores are used by games for both timing how long things take on GPU and waiting on resources so missing them can cause deadlocks or other related issues.
Textures can have more than one layer which we currently don't handle, all layers past the initial one will be filled with random data or 0s, leading to incorrect rendering. This has now been implemented now which fixes any titles which utilize array textures, such as "Super Mario Odyssey" or "Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA MegaMix".
The Maxwell3D RT layer count wasn't being set correctly as it has the same register as the depth values and is toggled between the two based on another register value.
The Maxwell GPU supports 3D textures which are tiled with the block-linear layout which didn't handle swizzling 3D textures correctly till now. This commit addresses that by implementing proper swizzling for 3D textures. Titles such as Cluster Truck and Super Mario Odyssey utilize 3D textures alongside a vast majority of other titles.
As per VMA docs: 'Allocation size returned in this variable may be greater than the size requested for the resource e.g. as VkBufferCreateInfo::size. Whole size of the allocation is accessible for operations on memory e.g. using a pointer after mapping with vmaMapMemory(), but operations on the resource e.g. using vkCmdCopyBuffer must be limited to the size of the resource.'
There were two issues here:
- If a skyline span was passed as a param then the 'T &object' version would be called, filling the span itself with random values rather than its contents
- Random numbers were repeated every call since independent_bits_engine copied generator state and thus it was never actually updated
