Arm64ec introduced the InterruptFaultPage which is lower overhead since
instead of ldr+str it just turns in to a single str. We were already
allocating the space, FEXCore and the frontend signal delegator just
needed to be updated to understand the new location.
We can additionally use this in the future if we want to make deferred
async signals INSIDE the JIT only cost a single str as well.
A bit of refactoring necessary before we can move the remaining Linux
specific code to the frontend.
Most of this taken from #3535 but attempting to be NFC as much as
possible.
A feature of FEX's JIT is that when an unaligned atomic load/store
operation occurs, the instructions will be backpatched in to a barrier
plus a non-atomic memory instruction. This is the half-barrier technique
that still ensures correct visibility of loadstores in an unaligned
context.
The problem with this approach is that the dmb instructions are HEAVY,
because they effectively stop the world until all memory operations in
flight are visible. But it is a necessary evil since unaligned atomics
aren't a thing on ARM processors. FEAT_LSE only gives you unaligned
atomics inside of a 16-byte granularity, which doesn't match x86
behaviour of cacheline size (effectively always 64B).
This adds a new TSO option to disable the half-barrier on unaligned
atomic and instead only convert it to a regular loadstore instruction,
ommiting the half-barrier. This gives more insight in to how well a
CPU's LRCPC implementation is by not stalling on DMB instructions when
possible.
Originally implemented as a test to see if this makes Sonic Adventure 2
run full speed with TSO enabled (but all available TSO options disabled)
on NVIDIA Orin. Unfortunately this basically makes the code no longer
stall on dmb instructions and instead just showing how bad the LRCPC
implementation is, since the stalls show up on `ldapur` instructions
instead.
Tested Sonic Adventure 2 on X13s and it ran at 60FPS there without the
hack anyway.
This is no longer necessary to be part of the public API. Moves the
header internally.
Needed to pass through `IsAddressInCodeBuffer` from CPUBackend through
the Context object, but otherwise no functional change.
This may be useful for tracking TSO faulting when it manages to fetch
stale data. While most TSO crashes are due to nullptr dereferences, this
can still check for the corruption case.
We are required in our syscall emulation to handle cases where pointers
are invalid. This means we need to pessimistically assume a memcpy will
fault when reading application memory.
This implements a signal handler based approach to catching the SIGSEGV
on memcpy and returning an EFAULT if it faults.
Currently no functional change but public API breaks should come early.
The thread state object will be used for looking up thread specific
codebuffers in the future when we support MDWE with code mirrors.
Previously we were only storing the 32-bit base address which isn't
actually how segment descriptors work.
In reality segment descriptors are 64-bit descriptors that are laid out
in a particular layout depending on the 4-bit type value. In reality we
only care about code and data segment layouts since the rest are
bonkers.
Describe these descriptors correctly and setup a default code descriptor
for the operating mode that FEX is starting in.
Lots going on here.
This moves OS thread object lifetime management and internal thread
state lifetime management to the frontend. This causes a bunch of thread
handling to move from the FEXCore Context to the frontend.
Looking at `FEXCore/include/FEXCore/Core/Context.h` really shows how
much of the API has moved to the frontend that FEXCore no longer needs
to manage. Primarily this makes FEXCore itself no longer need to care
about most of the management of the emulation state.
A large amount of the behaviour moved wholesale from Core.cpp to
LinuxEmulation's ThreadManager.cpp. Which this manages the lifetimes of
both the OS threads and the FEXCore thread state objects.
One feature lost was the instruction capability, but this was already
buggy and is going to be rewritten/fixed when gdbserver work continues.
Now that all of this management is moved to the frontend, the gdbserver
can start improving since it can start managing all thread state
directly.
Which requires moving LinuxEmulation to its own independent folder as
well. Since both IRLoader and FEXLoader rely on it.
No functional change, just moves the the code around.
