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.

I remember seeing some application last year where they closed a FEX
owned FD but now I don't remember what it was. This can really mess us
up so add some debug tracking so we can try and find it again.
Might be something specifically around flatpack, appimage, or chrome's
sandbox. I have some ideas about how to work around these problems if
they crop up but need to find the problem applications again.
FEXCore doesn't need track the TLS state of the SignalDelegator, this is
a frontend concept.
Removes the tracking from the backend and keeps it in the frontend.
Spurred on by #3421. To ensure that applications don't take advantage of
small address wrap around, allocate the second 4GB of virtual memory.
Some context. Linux always reserves the first 16KB of virtual address
space (unless you tinker with some settings which nobody should do).
Example of 32-bit code:
lea eax, [0xffff_0000]
mov ebx, [eax + 0x1_0000]
The address calculated by the mov will wrap around to 0x0 which will
result in SIGSEGV. If FEX messes up zero extensions then it would try to
access 0x1_0000_0000 instead.
This could result in a 32-bit application potentially accessing some FEX
memory instead of crashing.
Add this safety net which will still SIGSEGV and we will be able to see
the crash.
If the thread object is added to the tracking vector immediately then
there ends up being a race condition before the thread manages to fill
out the thread-specific data that only occurs at the start of the new
thread.
This manifests in a crash when a thread is allocating memory while
another thread is getting constructed. Easy fix is to defer the tracking
until the thread has setup its state.
We only used this so that our Xavier CI system which were running old
kernels could run unit tests. We have now removed the Xaviers from CI
and this is no longer necessary.
Stop pretending that we support kernels older than 5.0 and allowing this
fallback.
The 32-bit allocator is still used for the MAP_32BIT mmap flag, so the
load bearing code can't be fully removed. Just remove the config and the
frontend things using it.
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.
Similar to #3284 but works around some of the bugs that one introduced.
This is the minimal amount of changes to move the ownership from FEXCore
to the frontend. Since the frontends don't yet have a full thread state
tracking, there is an opaque pointer that needs to be managed.
In the followup commits this will be changed to have the syscall handler
to be the thread object manager.
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.
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.
When a signal handler is not installed and is a terminal failure, make
sure to save telemetry before faulting.
We know when an application is going down in this case so we can make
sure to have the telemetry data saved.
Adds a telemetry signal mask data point as well to know which signal
took it down.

This fails gracefully in the case the upstream kernel doesn't support
this feature, so can go in early.
This feature allows FEX to use hardware's TSO emulation capability to
reduce emulation overhead from our atomic/lrcpc implementation.
In the case that the TSO emulation feature is enabled in FEX, we will
check if the hardware supports this feature and then enable it.
If the hardware feature is supported it will then use regular memory
accesses with the expectation that these are x86-TSO in strength.
The only hardware that anyone cares about that supports this is Apple's
M class SoCs. Theoretically NVIDIA Denver/Carmel supports sequentially
consistent, which isn't quite the same thing. I haven't cared to check
if multithreaded SC has as strong of guarantees. But also since
Carmel/Denver hardware is fairly rare, it's hard to care about for our
use case.
This is a very OS specific operation and it living in FEXCore doesn't
make much sense. This still requires some strong collaboration between
FEXCore and the frontend but it is now split between the locations.
There's still a bit more cleanup work that can be done after this is
merged, but we need to get this burning fire out of the way.
This is necessary for llvm-mingw, this requires all previous PRs to be
merged first.
After this is merged, most of the llvm-mingw work is complete, just some
minor cleanups.
To be merged first:
- #2602
- #2604
- #2605
- #2607
- #2610
- #2615
- #2619
- #2621
- #2622
- #2624
- #2625
- #2626
- #2627
- #2628
- #2629
This lets all the path generation for the config to be in the frontend.
This then informs FEXCore where things should live.
This is for llvm-mingw. While paths aren't quite generated correctly,
this gets the code closer to compiling.
This is not an attempt to clean up the various issues with the pthread
logic, instead just moving the pthread specific logic out of FEXCore in
to FEXLoader.
FEXCore needs to know how to create threads in an agnostic way. Which is
why we obfuscate the details with this inteface.
Initially this was implemented with the pthread handlers in FEXCore and
expected eventually for those to get moved to the frontend. This is the
time when it has been moved.
This is the first step towards compiling with llvm-mingw.
Still a long way to go.
