Shared code buffer support introduced the concept of having a single
GuestToHostMaps shared across many threads. In the common case all
threads will share one however if e.g. a resize recently occured and
specific thread is yet to compile any code with the new codebuffer it
will still use the old GuestToHostMap. The current invalidation
approach handles this by repeatedly calling erase for every single
thread's GuestToHostMap, even if it is repeated. An accumulator is used
to ensure when two threads share a map, the L1/L2 cache entries in the
second thread will still be invalidated even if the the iteration for
the first thread removed them from the map.
Unfortunately this is incredibly slow in cases with many threads, as
a significant number of redundant map lookups and L1/L2 cache erasures
on threads that never even observed a given block can occur. Solve this
by introducing a two-pass model:
- First, all active codebuffers (and their associated GuestToHostMaps)
have their entries invalidated for the given range, these codebuffers
are tracked internally within FEXCore. It is at this point that delinking
callbacks are ran.
- Second, each thread will have its caches invalidated. But rather than
naively invalidating the L1/L2 caches for every invalidated block for
every thread, threads now track on their own what specific entries
have been potentially fetched into their L1/L2 caches. This is
aided by GuestToHostMap now tracking the pages each block touches. (an
inverse CodePages so to speak).
Adds it to the VDSO handling, it's not necessarily a VDSO function but
it behaves as such as it is in every single process. This means we get
to reuse the mapped page for every process when thunks are built,
shaving a page out of 32-bit processes.
Also, fixes a bug in guest VDSO symbol loading where clang sticks all
symbols in to `.dynsym` where gcc sticks them in to `.symtab`. Search
both. This effectively meant the couple of guest VDSO symbols were
always failing to get found, causing us to allocate yet another page on
32-bit. So effectively three pages stolen.
This also means we can remove the Linux specific X86HelperGen stuff from
FEXCore, only passing a single "VDSO" function pointer to the backend
for the dispatcher. Once again moving the Linux stuff to the frontend is
good.
Fixes an assert about about untracked noexec code `NoExec
instruction in entry block: FFFFE000` whenever thunk callbacks were
used.
FEX_CONFIG_OPT can only be used as a standalone statement, which is
inconvenient for config values that are only used once. The new functions
(e.g. Get_DUMPIR()) can be used in conditions or other expressions.
While this worked great for the singular unit test. I remembered thatour
pool allocator returns the minimum working size asked for but will
return larger sizes if exact fitment couldn't occur.
Because we are dealing with guard pages, we need to return the full
buffer size to the "client" so they can tell the frontend where the
guard page actually lives. Otherwise the JIT will tell the frontend the
guard page is at the end of the requested size, blow past the limit,
and fault in a completely different location.
With a bit of logging I saw in a multithreaded environment that we were
basically always getting a larger requested buffer while Steam was
starting up.
When the JIT CodeBuffer overflows, we will now catch accesses to the
guard page and longjump while restarting the JIT with a larger buffer
request.

This reverts commit e1a45a2720, reversing
changes made to bd7edd8651.
The change rendered pressure-vessel non-functional on muvm-based setups
like Fedora Asahi Remix.
- Cache miss counts
- Useful for determining if L2 cache or dynamic cache could help
- Cache read/write lock contention times
- Useful to see if threads are blocking each other on contention
- Read lock is the case where a read-lock is beneficial, even if we
currently use a write lock.

On top of #4951 because it fiddles with the cache stuff.
rpmalloc is currently very aggressively configured which causes
significant reductions in resident memory over jemalloc.
In Bayonetta's title screen it went from 963MB down to 834MB resident.
L1 cache residency can get quite large. Solution, start out small and
scale quickly on L1 cache misses but L2/L3 cache hits.
Some stats on L1 cache residency change:
- Teardown: 40MB -> 16MB (40%)
- Ender Lilies: 79MB -> 32MB (40.5%)
- Death Stranding: 186MB -> 93MB (50%)
- Steam: 75MB -> 7MB (9.3%)
The cost of this option is effectively free in our JIT. It changes a
single LDR to be a single LDP, which on Cortex CPUs cost the same. We do
this by moving the L1 pointer mask in to the CPUState object, making it
dynamic so it lives next to the L1 pointer. We then use that directly
rather than having the hardcoded value.
The lookup cache does a little bit of additional tracking and heuristics
to determine when the current L1 cache should increase or decrease in
size. From 128KB to 16MB per thread, allocating the full VA range as
previously.
Once the heuristic determines that L1 should be increased, it simply
changes the max and the L1 pointer size to compensate, the kernel will
fault in whichever pages are necessary.
Decreasing the size is a little bit more complex, as we want to madvise
the resulting L1 range to ensure we don't have that memory as resident
anymore. Same heuristic but going in the opposite direction otherwise.
Tends to be the case that L1 cache increases a bit on loading screens
then backs down once in-game.
These heuristic values are exposed for increasing and decreasing because
while I think I've picked reasonable values, we will likely need some
more fine tuning over time. Kind of expert user toggles at that point.
Based on #4940 as a base which needs to be merged first.

This mode has been broken for a long time because it's mostly untested.
Barriers, and backpatching while slow have proven that they work.
Maintain the one TSO path, at least until all ARM hardware gains support for
x86-TSO memory model mode.
We want to take advantage of 16-byte single-copy atomicity. Which I am
relying on, but didn't codify it the first time.
Additionally add comments to explain that new members should be added to
the end to allow tools time to gain support gradually. This will allow
me to add new members without fully breaking mangohud, they'll just not
display the new information until support is added.
We're not guaranteeing backwards compatibility, just an attempt not to
constantly churn the format unless necessary. This way if we do break
compatibility, the tool will have an upper bound on supported versions
before needing to rewrite code.
