Many flag-generating instructions like cmp need to save calculations for
deferred PF and AF flag calculation. Currently, they require a store per flag,
which is prohibitively expensive for hot instructions like cmp. By instead
pinning PF/AF temporary results to registers (x26/x27 by convention here), we
eliminate many stores altogether and turn the rest into zero-cycle moves (on
64-bit at least, this isn't optimal for 32-bit emulation due to CTX->GetGPRSize
shenanigans, need to check if this requirement can be lifted..).
To implement, we model as SRA and then the existing SRA code is able to generate
good code with little manual tuning. (Future work will get us to excellent code
with more tuning ;) ).
The tradeoff is reducing the working dynamic GPR set by 2 registers, which might
increase spilling in some cases. I think it's worth it in practice, though.

If a bind fails then this is usually because PID reuse happened and the
unix domain socket path still existed on the filesystem. Alternatively
the process did an execve which left a dangling unix domain file.
Unlink the file and try again in these cases. It will almost certainly
work the second time.
Instead of relying on sleeping in accept, use poll. This allows us to
early shutdown instead of leaving a thread hanging stuck in accept.
Doesn't change behaviour with FEX gdbserver waiting for attach, but in
the future when we all full process trees to have gdbserver running this
will be more important.
Resolving the issue that we can only ever have one gdbserver process
running consuming port 8086 (even if the port number is cute).
Doesn't give us anything yet but in the future will allow us to have
whole process trees running gdbservers that we can attach to.
This fixes an issue where CPU tunables were ending up in the thunk
generator which means if your CPU doesn't support all the features on
the *Builder* then it would crash with SIGILL. This was happening with
Canonical's runners because they typically only support ARMv8.2 but we
are compiling packages to run on ARMv8.4 devices.
cc: FEX-2311.1
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.
This lets most of the ASM tests run on 16K Linux hosts which is good because I
have a Mac and I'm bad at computer.

When a syscall from the *at series is provided an FD but the path is
absolute then dirfd should be ignored. We weren't correctly doing this.
Now if the path is absolute, but set the argument to the special
AT_FDCWD..
Fixes#3204
This syscall requires a valid pointer otherwise it returns EFAULT.
When going through the glibc helper it can crash before reaching the raw
syscall even.
It is scarcely used today, and like the x86 jit, it is a significant
maintainence burden complicating work on FEXCore and arm64 optimization. Remove
it, bringing us down to 2 backends.
1 down, 1 to go.
Some interpreter scaffolding remains for x87 fallbacks. That is not a problem
here.

We have supported this since #163 but we haven't been exposing the
feature in hwcap2.
We have exposed it in CPUID this entire time, just not in hwcap2.
This is a new procfs symlink path that changes behaviour of binfmt_misc
when exposed. We need to check both procfs/exe and procfs/interpreter
and see if they exist AND also differ.
Once/if they do then we can disable a bunch of checking of paths once
they do. The fallback when none of this is supported has the same
behaviour has previously where it still does all the regular checking.
During binfmt_misc install cmake will check the kernel version for the
raw binfmt_misc writing. Which will never pass until we have a real
kernel version that it is upstreamed in.
For update-binfmts we add a new optional argument where the tool will
drop the flag if the host kernel version isn't new enough to handle the
option.
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.
When the application calls exit_group we no longer need to care about
cleanup because the entire process group is leaving.
Just immediately call exit group and get out. Might revisit this in the
future.
Fixes#2752
Instead of allocating a temporary copy of the string, return a view of
it instead. Should improve the performance of system calls that take
file paths. Since it was allocating a string for every single syscall
that uses them in this case.
Moves the dummy handlers over to this library. This will end up getting
used for more than the mingw test harness runner once the instruction
count CI is operational.
There was one holdout variable that was in a TLS object in FEXCore. Move
it to the frontend with the rest of the TLS variables.
Allows us to remove "Frontend" TLS management to be the only TLS
management.
Removes the @PREFIX_ARCH@ replacement string in the thunks path.
The library prefix paths now get generated upfront and everything gets
replaced to handle the differences between multiarch distros.
Fixes Thunks on Arch and Fedora.
