Makes the enum values strongly-typed and prevents the identifiers from
polluting the PowerPC namespace. This also cleans up the parameters of
some functions where we were accepting an ambiguous int type and
expecting the correct values to be passed in.
Now those parameters accept a PowerPC::CPUCore type only, making it
immediately obvious which values should be passed in. It also turns out
we were storing these core types into other structures as plain ints,
which have also been corrected.
As this type is used directly with the configuration code, we need to
provide our own overloaded insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators
in order to make it compatible with it. These are fairly trivial to
implement, so there's no issue here.
A minor adjustment to TryParse() was required, as our generic function
was doing the following:
N tmp = 0;
which is problematic, as custom types may not be able to have that
assignment performed (e.g. strongly-typed enums), so we change this to:
N tmp;
which is sufficient, as the value is attempted to be initialized
immediately under that statement.
This might happen if someone moves settings between e.g. a PC and
an Android device, or if someone was using JITIL and updates Dolphin.
I also made the panic alert a bit more explanatory.
PowerPC.h at this point is pretty much a general glob of stuff, and it's
unfortunate, since it means pulling in a lot of unrelated header
dependencies and a bunch of other things that don't need to be seen by
things that just want to read memory.
Breaking this out into its own header keeps all the MMU-related stuff
together and also limits the amount of header dependencies being
included (the primary motivation for this being the former reason).
Given we're operating with flags and bit representations, lets avoid
signed values here. It lessens the amount of sign conversion warnings
and lessens the amount of things to think about screwing you over when
making changes to the interpreter among other things.
Keeps all of the floating-point utility functions in their own file to
keep them all together. This also provides a place for other
general-purpose floating-point functions to be added in the future,
which will be necessary when improving the flag-setting within the
interpreter.
Prevent implicit conversions to UReg_FPSCR. Given the semantics of a
random magic value and the FPSCR are different, make explicit
conversions a requirement to signify intent.
The MSR.LE bit is supposed to be set to the value of MSR.ILE upon
entering an exception vector to control whether the environment in said
vector operates as little endian or big endian. If this bit is ORed into
the LE bit, then the scenario of operating in little endian but wanting
to take exceptions in big endian will be incorrectly handled.
Prevents implicit construction of MSR instances from integral values.
This is beneficial, considering MSR values have an intended
representation while a regular magic value doesn't. So make these
conversions required to be explicit.
Gets rid of the need to construct UReg_MSR values around the the actual
member in order to query information from it (without using shifts and
masks). This makes it more concise in some areas, while helping with
readability in some other places (such as copying the ILE bit to the LE
bit in the exception checking functions).
The effective address given to these instructions must be word (4 byte) aligned,
and if the address is not aligned like that, then an alignment exception
gets triggered.
We currently don't update the DSISR in this case properly, since we
didn't really handle alignment exceptions outside of ecowx and eciwx,
and even then the handling of it isn't really that great, considering
the DAR isn't updated with the address that caused the exception to
occur.
The DSISR will eventually be amended to be properly updated.
We can do this now that the x86-64 JIT supports PIE.
JITIL is deliberately excluded from the GUI because it
doesn't support PIE yet. (JITIL will be used if it's
set in the INI, though.)
instruction tables
Previously, all of the internals that handled how the instruction tables
are initialized were exposed externally. However, this can all be made
private to each CPU backend.
If each backend has an Init() function, then this is where the instruction
tables should be initialized, it shouldn't be the responsibility of
external code to ensure internal validity.
This allows for getting rid of all the table initialization shenanigans
within JitInterface and PPCTables.
This implements MIOS's PPC bootstrapping functionality, which enables
users to start a GameCube game from the Wii System Menu.
Because we aren't doing Starlet LLE (and don't have a boot1), we can
just jump to MIOS when the emulated software does an ES_LAUNCH or uses
ioctlv 0x25 to launch BC.
Note that the process is more complex on a real Wii and goes through
several more steps before getting to MIOS:
* The System Menu detects a GameCube disc and launches BC (1-100)
instead of the game. [Dolphin does this too.]
* BC, which is reportedly very similar to boot1, lowers the Hollywood
clock speed to the Flipper's and then launches boot2.
* boot2 sees the lowered clock speed and launches MIOS (1-101) instead
of the System Menu.
MIOS runs instead of IOS in GC mode and has an embedded GC IPL (which
is the code actually responsible for loading the disc game) and a PPC
bootstrap code. To get things working properly, we simply need to load
both to memory, then jump to the bootstrap code at 0x3400.
Obviously, because of the way this works, a real MIOS is required.
Makes it more obvious which data is going into the savestate.
It also allows PowerPCState and InstructionCache to potentially
contain members that don't necessarily need to be saved to the save state.
It also gets rid of any potential padding data being put into the save
state.
It wouldn't impact performance until at least one memcheck is enabled. Because of this, it can be used in release builds without much impact, the only thing that woudl change is the use of HasAny method instead of preprocessor conditionals. Since the perforamnce decrease comes right when the first memcheck is added and restored when the last is removed, it basically is all beneficial and works the same way.
For step over, it was updating twice which actually made the red display on the register view (when a register changes since) malfunction. Since it doesn't seem to be usefull to update before AND after the run, the one before the run was removed.
For step out, well, because there was no chances given for the thread to run as it is single stepping all the time, I only added a call to update after it was done.
Fix Frame Advance and FifoPlayer pause/unpause/stop.
CPU::EnableStepping is not atomic but is called from multiple threads
which races and leaves the system in a random state; also instruction
stepping was unstable, m_StepEvent had an almost random value because
of the dual purpose it served which could cause races where CPU::Run
would SingleStep when it was supposed to be sleeping.
FifoPlayer never FinishStateMove()d which was causing it to deadlock.
Rather than partially reimplementing CPU::Run, just use CPUCoreBase
and then call CPU::Run(). More DRY and less likely to have weird bugs
specific to the player (i.e the previous freezing on pause/stop).
Refactor PowerPC::state into CPU since it manages the state of the
CPU Thread which is controlled by CPU, not PowerPC. This simplifies
the architecture somewhat and eliminates races that can be caused by
calling PowerPC state functions directly instead of using CPU's
(because they bypassed the EnableStepping lock).
