No need to wait for initialization on for this anymore.
Ever since Init was refactored to do basically no work, this hasn't been
necessary.
CPUID does need to still be initialized after HostFeatures though, so
need to ensure correct member ordering there.
While we were calling this function, its asserting nature hasn't been
used for a long time.
This used to trigger more frequently when CompileBlock would fail to
compile code, either due to not being able to decode an instruction or
hitting an instruction that FEX doesn't understand.
When these cases are hit today we still generate code blocks which
generate SIGILL. This means that this code was actually never hit.
Completely remove this function and have the JIT's dispatcher call the
CompileBlock function directly. Signature is slightly different since we
need to set x3 to be 0.
Fairly lightweight since it is almost 1:1 transplanting the code from
FEXCore in to the SyscallHandler's thread creation code.
Minor changes:
- ExecutionThreadHandler gets freed before executing the thread
- Saves 16-bytes of memory per thread
- Start all threads paused by default
- Since I moved the code to the frontend, I noticed we needed to do
some post thread-creation setup.
- Without the pause we were racing code execution with TLS setup and
a few other things.
Split from #3284 without changing ownership semantics while I reduce the
debugging surface here.
Removes one usage of ParentThread from FEXCore. Which can be done since
it is no longer an opaque structure, we can read the StatusCode
directly.
No functional change.
The XID signal handler is OS specific and needs to be delegated to being
handled in the frontend. This only happens when we create a thread with
pthread rather than clone/fork/vfork.
The first created pthread will reset the XID signal handler in glibc,
which we need to check the first time this occurs. A little bit disjoint
while the actual thread creation still happens in the backend but will
come together once the thread creation gets moved to the frontend.
The only game I am aware of that requires this to work is SOMA since its
one of its middleware libraries tries asking for root privileges.
Retested the game to make sure it still works as expected.
The frontend needs to be in control of how threads are created. This is
inherent to the fact that OS threads are OS specific. We currently have
this weird split that when initializing the FEXCore context, we create a
parent thread at all times.
This does some initial cleanup that gets the core initialization nearly
decoupled.
Split off from #3282 to reduce burden.
We can read the data member directly now since it isn't opaque. In fact
we already do in the signal handlers. Removes these redundant helpers.
Removes one usage of ParentThread in FEXCore.
The frontend shouldn't need to know any information about how to
reconstruct eflags. Just give us the information we need and it'll work
out.
There are still some inherit limitations of this and some edge cases
that might give invalid data, but it is roughly as close as it was
before.
Just provide if the PC was in the JIT, the host GPRs, and the PState object from the signal
information and FEXCore does the rest.
We don't need to change the signature for `SetFlagsFromCompactedEFLAGS`
because during reloading of register state automatically does this for
us.
Requires #3249 to be merged first
Library alerting has been disabled for now, and storing IR while
gdbserver is running is removed.
Otherwise no functional change.
GDBServer is inherently OS specific which is why all this code is
removed when compiling for mingw/win32. This should get moved to the
frontend before we start landing more work to clean this interface up.
Not really any functional change.
Changes:
FEXCore/Context: Adds new public interfaces, these were previously
private.
- WaitForIdle
- If `Pause` was called or the process is shutting down then this
will wait until all threads have paused or exited.
- WaitForThreadsToRun
- If `Pause` was previously called and then `Run` was called to get
them running again, this waits until all the threads have come out
of idle to avoid races.
- GetThreads
- Returns the `InternalThreadData` for all the current threads.
- GDBServer needs to know all the internal thread data state when the
threads are paused which is what this gives it.
GDBServer:
- Removes usages of internal data structures where possible.
- This gets it clean enough that moving it out of FEXCore is now
possible.
gdbserver is currently entirely broken so this doesn't change behaviour.
The gdb pause check that we originally had an excessive amount of
overhead.
Instead use the pending interrupt fault check that was wired
up for wine.
This makes the check very lightweight and makes it more reasonable to
implement a way to have gdbserver support attaching to a process.
There are some cases where we want to test multiple instructions where
we can do optimizations that would overwise be hard to see.
eg:
```asm
; Can be optimized to a single stp
push eax
push ebx
; Can remove half of the copy since we know the direction
cld
rep movsb
; Can remove a redundant insert
addss xmm0, xmm1
addss xmm0, xmm2
```
This lets us have arbitrary sized code in instruction count CI, with the
original json key becoming only a label if the instruction array is
provided.
There are still some major limitations to this, instructions that
generate side-effects might have "garbage" after the end of the block
that isn't correctly accounted for. So care must be taken.
Example in the json
```json
"push ax, bx": {
"ExpectedInstructionCount": 4,
"Optimal": "No",
"Comment": "0x50",
"x86Insts": [
"push ax",
"push bx"
],
"ExpectedArm64ASM": [
"uxth w20, w4",
"strh w20, [x8, #-2]!",
"uxth w20, w7",
"strh w20, [x8, #-2]!"
]
}
```
Hades and the vcruntime hits this very hard in memmove.
`86.56% [JIT] tid 458574 [.] JIT_0x18000c375_0x7fffc94790c8`
```asm
0x00007fffc94790f8: ldaprb w3, [x2]
0x00007fffc94790fc: stlrb w3, [x1]
0x00007fffc9479100: add x1, x1, #0x1
0x00007fffc9479104: add x2, x2, #0x1
0x00007fffc9479108: sub x0, x0, #0x1
0x00007fffc947910c: cbnz x0, 0x7fffc94790f8
```
This performance is terrible because Cortex's LRCPC performance is bottom-tier.
Work around the performance issue by forcing things to do larger moves with vector moves instead.
Now that PF calculation is deferred, the cost of calculating PF correctly should
be tolerable. Remove the speed hack to skip PF. It's fundamentally broken, and
there are enough broken things in FEX as it is that we don't need to maintain
this one ;-)

Currently FEX's internal EFLAGS representation is a perfect 1:1 mapping
between bit offset and byte offset. This is going to change with #3038.
There should be no reason that the frontend needs to understand how to
reconstruct the compacted flags from the internal representation.
Adds context helpers and moves all the logic to FEXCore. The locations
that previously needed to handle this have been converted over to use
this.
It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.
