Ryan Houdek a0cb91daa4 Core: Adds more validation around pool buffer ownership
All buffers should be disowned leaving their respective compilation
sites, and reowning a buffer should never have the flag already be
owned.

Throw an assert in both cases because that would be a programming error
and result in some squirrely buffer handling

Pierre-Loup A. Griffais 3157685f0f DiskCache: initial anon caching
Decode a few bytes in advance to get a hashable prefix to use as key.

Generate touched pages dynamically since they can be misaligned now, as the
cached-hit guest code isn't necessarily in the same spot as the store was.

Ryan Houdek 66cad978c3 FEXCore: Removes syscall optimization
The JIT was doing a bunch of additional work where it was saving and
restoring registers and then juggling the arguments back in to a stack
frame. All of this is nonsensical without the optimization where we
could call syscalls inline without a stack frame.

Instead remove this optimization entirely and behave like a "generic"
syscall path always. The Linux syscall handler now pulls the arguments
out of the CPU context directly and stores the result back in to RAX
directly as well.

This has knock-on effects where technically syscalls are
going to be slightly faster because no stack frame setup for the
arguments, but additionally we are going to be able to have syscalls be
proper serialization points where we can interrupt the syscall and
long-jump out without problems.

Bumps the DiskCache version again because it causes codegen to change.

Ryan Houdek ac12dd55c3 Frontend: Fix vsyscall page tracking.
Now that NX is tracked in the frontend, we need to ensure that adjusted
RIP pages are tracked correctly. Keep around both instruction stream
pointers, validate the the original RIP is executable, and read from the
adjusted RIP as appropriate.

Billy Laws 2f4cd33950 Frontend: Fail gracefully upon encountering unexpected relocations
As the decoder can occasionally explore non-code (e.g. after a noreturn

encountered.

Billy Laws bcf48c21eb Frontend: Support relocated instruction operands when generating caches
When relocations are loaded, all immediates read from memory are checked
against the relocation map and transformed into an appropriately
sign-extended entrypoint-relative variant of the specific operands
addressing mode. As almost every case of an unhandled relocation will
lead to a later, likely harder to debug, crash at runtime just bail out
early if any such cases are encountered. Note that while this
handles/detects all cases of relocated immediates, if relocations were
applied to instructions themselves (occurs in some malware variants)
these would be missed without any errors reported.

Billy Laws 9571a1bc30 Frontend: Clip multiblocks to section boundaries when generating caches
When compiling code at runtime there is no harm to including jumps to
different sections within a multiblock, when enforcing as such would
introduce a lookup cost for every decode invocation (or some caching).
However when compiling offline as each cache blob is tied to a specific
library these boundaries should be enforced.

Ryan Houdek eb41cb2261 Frontend: Detect partial decoded instructions
Currently FEX doesn't properly support partial decoded instructions,
which behave slightly differently than full noexec or invalid
instruction decodings. Before this commit we didn't even have a way to
detect the difference.

Primary difference is that the faulting RIP is the beginning of
instruction decode, while the fault address is the first byte that
couldn't be fetched due to memory permissions. This shows up as a
difference between the RIP in mcontext and si_addr in siginfo in the
Linux signal handler.

Right now just change the log so we can determine if we need to support
this edge case.

Ryan Houdek add54b8089 X86Tables: Convert AVX tables to constexpr
One set of tables for 128-bit and one set of tables for 256-bit.
This one took a bit longer since I needed to convert a few handlers over
to `Bind`. With this all of our x86 tables are costexpr so they end up
in RO mapped memory which is great.

Ryan Houdek a6bb9739d4 OpcodeDispatcher: Initial support for runtime long-mode switch
This has the Frontend and OpcodeDispatcher select their operating mode
depending on the incoming code segment long-mode flag.

Adds some asserts since currently it is unexpected if the configuration
changes at runtime.

This is fairly straightforward for an initial setup but isn't fully
fleshed out.

Right now FEX's x86 tables aren't setup in a way to support choosing a
different instruction decoding depending on runtime operating mode
change, so that would break in interesting ways.

Primarily this just gets FEX setup to start piping the operating mode
through from the frontend to the backend. This is a long term task, so
it is going to take a long time to iron out all the issues.

Billy Laws fd58f17dbe FEXCore: Track block executable ranges prior to adding cache entries
Since CodePages is now a member of the guest to host map, which could
be replaced when JITing ARM code, any additions to it must be moved after that.
Additionally there is no benefit marking code pages for invalidation at all if
they are never added to the cache as in the single-step case.

This does technically prolong the window of an existing race where guest code
modifications could be missed, however this is unlikely to cause issues and didn't
prior.

Billy Laws 407c5a0f78 PoolBufferWithTimedRetirement: Unclaim in dtor
Buffers are tied to the lifetime of their owned flag, and as that
is a member of PoolBufferWithTimedRetirement we must always unclaim here.

Avoids the need to manually remember this quirk (which was forgot for the
temporary compilation buffer in JIT.cpp) at every use-site.

Ryan Houdek f9b369c550 Telemetry: Removes unnecessary indirection
Telemetry value address generation was forcing an indirection at all
times which was unnecessary. These values live in the BSS, zero
initialized at process start and is unnecessary.

Instead change the wrapper defines to directly operate on the enum
passed in which saves an indirection on all of these telemetry
operations (except for the ones in the JIT which are required to be PIC
compliant).

This also fixes an annoying warning about
`FEXCORE_TELEMETRY_STATIC_INIT` causing initialization and destruction
order being unspecified, so two wins.

Billy Laws 151fc5e97f Frontend: Split blocks at jump target boundaries
With the prior approach, backwards jumps into existing blocks would
explore the overlapping part rather than splitting the block, generating
needless code and wasting time decoding. Similarly, the current block
wouldn't be split when it is extended to overlap with a pending jump target.

Solve this by tracking blocks in a sorted vector and splitting existing blocks
on jumps when appropriate, in order to avoid any possibility of overlapping
blocks, which would break the lookup, misaligned and zero instruction blocks
are disallowed.

Ryan Houdek c82a683987 Frontend: short-circuit code generation on invalid instructions with multiblock
A source of overhead with multiblock is hitting instructions through a
conditional branch that can never be executed. Usually AVX512
instructions in glibc. This causes us to emit partial blocks for a ton
of targets that will never get executed.

Instead, when we have multiblock enabled, if a block hits an instruction
encoding we don't support, then remove all the decoded instructions from
the block and early terminate it if it isn't the entry block. This
resolves the issue of emitting a bunch of IR and code for blocks never
executed.

If the block of code has an invalid instruction in the entry block for
decoding then it'll still emit code up to the invalid instruction and
raise a SIGILL. This has the potential for generating some additional
blocks of code if a game is abusing SIGILL, but since that's unlikely
it's a good trade-off.

Also removes a few log instructions that don't really provide anything
anymore and just show up as confusing messages when multiblock is
enabled.

Ryan Houdek f7b4d25803 Telemetry: Remove VEX flag
This is no longer necessary and it also no longer provides us any useful
information. Since we expose the AVX CPUID flag, basically everything

Ryan Houdek cd83d3eb24 InstCountCI: Support multiple instructions in the tests
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]!"
  ]
}
