For thread safety, we shouldn't return any pointers or references that
can be used to mutate the state of the PPCSymbolDB. This should be the
final part of making PPCSymbolDB thread safe unless I've missed
something.
9395238 added locking in some PPCSymbolDB functions that access member
variables, but far from all. To ensure thread safety, this commit adds
the missing locking.
9395238 added a mutex to PPCSymbolDB, and made functions return with an
"empty" result if called while the mutex is locked. This new behavior
has the potential to affect not only less important call sites like the
symbol printing mentioned in a comment, but also the JIT deciding if it
should HLE a function.
A later commit in this pull request decreases the amount of lock
contention, reducing the performance impact of this commit.
Fix some common anti-patterns with these data structures.
- You can dereference the iterator returned by `find` to access the
underlying value directly, without an extra `operator[]`/`at`.
- Rather than checking for an element before insertion/deletion, you can
just do the operation and if needed check the return value to
determine if the insertion/deletion succeeded.
Cleanup loading code and reduce amount of signals.
On boot. allow previously loaded map to be kept, if its filename matches. Useful for restarting a game with a large symbol map.
Notes are separate from function symbols, and can be searched separately.
Unlike functions, notes of different length can overlap each other.
In the instruction window, a note will always display over the function symbol.
On real hardware, stswi and stswx don't trigger any of the special
behavior for uncached unaligned writes that was implemented in 543ed8a.
This is confirmed by a hwtest (a new commit in
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/hwtests/pull/42).
This change fixes Dolphin's stswi and stswx implementations so they stop
triggering the special behavior, bringing them back to the behavior they
had before 543ed8a. No games are known to be affected, but Extrems has
reported that it affects homebrew they've made.
Previously, PerformanceTracker registered a callback to be updated on
emulation state changes. PerformanceTrackers live in a global variable
(g_perf_metrics) within libvideocommon. The callback was stored in a
global variable in libcore. This created a race condition at shutdown
between these libraries, when the PerfTracker's destructor tried to
unregister the callback.
Notify the PerfTracker directly from libcore, without callbacks, since
Core.cpp already references g_perf_metrics explicitly. Also rename
Core::CallOnStateChangedCallbacks to NotifyStateChanged to better
reflect what it's doing.
bbf72e7 made a change where you can pass `false` to certain MemChecks
functions to get them to skip performing an "update" step. It was then
up to the caller to call the Update function later.
This commit changes the implementation so that, instead of the caller
passing in a boolean that controls whether a function calls Update, the
function now returns an object that on destruction will call Update.
Callers that are fine with Update being called right away can skip
storing the object in a variable and thereby call Update immediately,
and callers that want to call Update later can keep the object around.
This new design reduces the risk that someone will forget calling
Update.
In PPCTables.cpp, the code is currently unused so I was unable to test it.
In CustomPipeline.cpp, a pointer to member function cannot be used due to 16.4.5.2.1 of the C++ Standard regarding "addressable functions". https://eel.is/c++draft/namespace.std#6
In Fs.cpp and DirectoryBlob.cpp, these examples used projections in a previous iteration of this commit, but no longer do. Still, they remain in this commit because the PR they would actually belong to is already merged.
In LabelMap.cpp, the code is currently unused so I was unable to test it.
In WiiUtils.cpp, the magic value `1u` was replaced by the constant value `DiscIO::PARTITION_UPDATE`.
You can encode a shifted 12-bit immediate in a SUB instruction on ARM64.
We exploit this to avoid materializing the immediate.
This approach saves an instruction if it does not need to be
materialized in a register afterwards. Otherwise, we just materialize
it later and the total number of instructions stays the same.
