The startup check apparently confuses other programs when yuzu launches
2 processes and then quickly closes one of them. Though this isn't
really our issues it's also not a big deal for me to add an option to
work around that issue.
Some header files, specifically for OSX and Musl libc define PAGE_SIZE to be a number
This is great except in yuzu we're using PAGE_SIZE as a variable
Specific example
`static constexpr u64 PAGE_SIZE = u64(1) << PAGE_BITS;`
PAGE_SIZE PAGE_BITS PAGE_MASK are all similar variables.
Simply deleted the underscores, and then added YUZU_ prefix
Might be worth noting that there are multiple uses in different classes/namespaces
This list may not be exhaustive
Core::Memory 12 bits (4096)
QueryCacheBase 12 bits
ShaderCache 14 bits (16384)
TextureCache 20 bits (1048576, or 1MB)

[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

Between packages breaking, Conan always being a moving target for
minimum required CMake support, and now their moves to Conan 2.0 causing
existing packages to break, I suppose this was a long time coming. vcpkg
isn't without its drawbacks, but at the moment it seems easier on the
project to use for external packages.
Mostly removes the logic for Conan from the root CMakeLists file,
leaving basic find_package()'s in its place. Sets only the
find_package()'s that require CONFIG mode as necessary. clang and linux
CI now use the vcpkg toolchain file configured in the Docker container
when possible.
mingw CI turns off YUZU_TESTS because there's no way on the container to
run Windows executables on a Linux host anyway, and it's not easy to get
Catch2 there.
- Avoids new GCC 12 warnings when Type is of form std::optional<T>
- Makes more sense this way, because ranged is not a property which would change over time
The latest git version of GCC has issues with my diamond inheritance
shenanigans. Since that's now two compilers that don't like it I thought
it'd be best to just axe all of it and just have the two templates like
before.
This rolls the features of BasicRangedSetting into BasicSetting, and
likewise RangedSetting into Setting. It also renames them from
BasicSetting and Setting to Setting and SwitchableSetting respectively.
Now longer name corresponds to more complex thing.
While this is the primary change, we also:
- Remove the mpsc namespace and rename Queue to MPSCQueue
- Make Slot a private struct within MPSCQueue
- Remove the AlignedAllocator template argument, as we use std::allocator
- Replace instances of mask + 1 with capacity, and mask + 2 with capacity + 1
GCC/Clang treats variables within lambdas as potentially shadowing those outside the lambda, despite them not being captured inside the lambda's capture list.
Clang (rightfully) warns that we are checking for the existence of
pointer to something just allocated on the stack, which is always true.
Instead, check whether GetModuleFileNameW failed.

Qt's QString::toStdU16String doesn't work when compiling against the

does the same thing as the aforementioned one.
This formats all copyright comments according to SPDX formatting guidelines.
Additionally, this resolves the remaining GPLv2 only licensed files by relicensing them to GPLv2.0-or-later.
Adds detection of additional CPU flags to cpu_detect and additions to telemetry output.
This is not exhaustive but guided by features that [dynarmic utilizes](bcfe377aaa/src/dynarmic/backend/x64/host_feature.h (L12-L33)) as well as features that are currently utilized but not reported to telemetry(invariant_tsc). This is intended to guide future optimizations.
AVX512 in particular is broken up into its individual subsets and some other processor features such as [sha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions) and [gfni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512#GFNI) are added to have some forward-facing data-points.
What used to be a single `CPU_Extension_x64_AVX512` telemetry field
is also broken up into individual `CPU_Extension_x64_AVX512{F,VL,CD,...}` fields.

Was getting an unhandled `invalid_argument` [exception](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/join) during
shutdown on my linux machine. This removes the need for a `StopBackendThread` function entirely since `jthread`
[automatically handles both checking if the thread is joinable and stopping the token before attempting to join](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/jthread/~jthread) in the case that `StartBackendThread` was never called.
Inlines implementation of exclusive instructions into JITted code,
improving performance of applications relying heavily on these
instructions.
We also fastmem these instructions for additional speed, with
support for appropriate recompilation on fastmem failure.
An unsafe optimization to disable the intercore global_monitor is also
provided, should one wish to rely solely on cmpxchg semantics for

Addresses https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues/7881 to fix linux
builds.
`YUZU_NON_COPYABLE` deletes the `T(const T&)` constructor which will
cause the implicitly defined default ctor/dtor to no-longer generate.
These functions allow to construct a string view from an input buffer, avoiding the copy done by the non string view counterparts. However, callers must be cognizant of the viewed buffer's lifetime to avoid a use-after-free.
The string constructor of UUID states:
Should the input string not meet the above requirements, an assert will be triggered and an invalid UUID is set instead.
This is a fixed and revised implementation of UUID that uses an array of bytes as its internal representation of a UUID instead of a u128 (which was an array of 2 u64s).
In addition to this, the generation of RFC 4122 Version 4 compliant UUIDs is also implemented.
In addition to requiring nanosecond precision, using the native clock requires that the hardware TSC has a precision greater than the emulated CPU and its clock counter.
If the build is from a non-repository, these functions will return empty. This
patch allows using defines to CMake to set version info such as
-DGIT_BRANCH=master.
CallbackStatus instances aren't the cheapest things to copy around
(relative to everything else), given that they're currently 520 bytes in
size and are currently copied numerous times when callbacks are invoked.
Instead, we can pass the status by const reference to avoid all the
copying.
In my testing, waiting for 200ms provided the same level of precision as the previous implementation when estimating the RDTSC frequency.
This significantly improves the yuzu executable launch times since we reduced the wait time from 3 seconds to 200 milliseconds.
Loop on stop_token and remove final_entry in Entry.
Move Backend thread out of Impl Constructor to its own function.
Add Start function for backend thread.
Use stop token in PopWait and check if entry filename is nullptr before logging.
VS2022 seems to introduce an optimization when moving vectors to check for equality of the element values. AlignmentAllocator needed to overload the equality operator to fix compilation of its usage in vector moving.
To keep the TAS inputs synced to the game speed even through lag spikes and loading zones, deeper access is required.
First, the `TAS::UpdateThread` has to be executed exactly once per frame. This is done by connecting it to the service method the game calls to pass parameters to the GPU: `Service::VI::QueueBuffer`.
Second, the loading time of new subareas and/or kingdoms (SMO) can vary. To counteract that, the `CPU_BOOST_MODE` can be detected: In the `APM`-interface, the call to enabling/disabling the boost mode can be caught and forwarded to the TASing system, which can pause the script execution if neccessary and enabled in the settings.
First of all, TASing requires a script to play back. The user can select the parent directory at `System -> Filesystem`, next to an option to pause TAS during loads: This requires a "hacky" setup deeper in the code and will be added in the last commit.
Also, Hotkeys are being introduced: CTRL+F5 for playback start/stop, CTRL+F6 for re-reading the script and CTRL+F7 for recording a new script.
The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

The log filter was being ignored on initialization due to the logging instance being initialized before the config instance, so the log filter was set to its default value.
This fixes that oversight, along with using descriptive exceptions instead of abort() calls.
Some system configurations may see visual regressions or lower performance using GPU decoding compared to CPU decoding. This setting provides the option for users to specify their decoding preference.

This fixes a lost wakeup in SPSCQueue. If the reader is in just the right position, the writer's notification will be lost and this will be a problem if the writer then does something to wait on the reader.
This was discovered to affect my upcoming stacktrace PR. I don't think any performance decrease will be noticeable because an uncontended mutex is smart enough to skip the syscall. This PR might also resolve some rare deadlocks but I don't know of any examples.
This implements backtraces so we don't have to tell users how to use gdb anymore.
This prints a backtrace after abort or segfault is detected. It also fixes the log getting cut off with the last line containing only a bracket. This change lets us know what caused a crash not just what happened the few seconds before it.
I only know how to add support for Linux with GCC. Also this doesn't work outside of C/C++ such as in dynarmic or certain parts of graphics drivers. The good thing is that it'll try and just crash again but the stack frames are still there so the core dump will work just like before.
This simplifies the logging system.
This also fixes some lost messages on startup.
The simplification is simple. I removed unused functions and moved most things in the .h to the .cpp. I replaced the unnecessary linked list with its contents laid out as three member variables. Anything that went through the linked list now directly accesses the backends. Generic functions are replaced with those for each specific use case and there aren't many. This change increases coupling but we gain back more KISS and encapsulation.
With those changes it was easy to make it thread-safe. I just removed the mutex and turned a boolean atomic. I was planning to use this thread-safety in my next PR about stacktraces. It was actually async-signal-safety at first but I ended up using a different approach. Anyway getting rid of the linked list is important for that because have the list of backends constantly changing complicates things.
This commit renames the "Services" tab to "Network" and adds a combobox that allows the user to select the network interface that yuzu should use. This new setting is now used to get the local IP address in Network::GetHostIPv4Address. This prevents yuzu from selecting the wrong network interface and thus using the wrong IP address. The return type of Network::GetHostIPv4Adress has also been changed.
According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/469508, we run into a
MSVC bug (since VS 2005) when using diamond inheritance for
RangedSetting.
This explicitly implements those functions in RangedSetting. GetValue is
implemented as just calling the inherited version. The explicit
converson operator is reimplemented. I opted for this over ignoring the
warning with a pragma since this specifies the inherited behavior, and I
have now less faith in MSVC to pick the right one.
In addition, we mark destructors as virtual to silence what I believe is
a fair MSVC compilation error.
Fixes a theoretical scenario where a Setting is using the BasicSetting's
GetValue function. In practice this probably only happens on yuzu-cmd,
where there is no need for a Setting's additional features. Need to fix
regardless.
Use VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties when enabled and available to
log statistics about the pipeline cache in a game.
For example, this is on Turing GPUs when generating a pipeline cache
from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
Average pipeline statistics
==========================================
Code size: 6433.167
Register count: 32.939
More advanced results could be presented, at the moment it's just an
average of all 3D and compute pipelines.
This setting is best referred to as a speed limit, as it involves the limits of all timing based aspects of the emulator, not only framerate.
This allows us to differentiate it from the fps unlocker setting.
GLASM is getting good enough that we can move it out of advanced
graphics settings. This removes the setting `use_assembly_shaders`,
opting for a enum class `shader_backend`. This comes with the benefits
that it is extensible for additional shader backends besides GLSL and
GLASM, and this will work better with a QComboBox.
Qt removes the related assembly shader setting from the Advanced
Graphics section and places it as a new QComboBox in the API Settings
group. This will replace the Vulkan device selector when OpenGL is
selected.
Additionally, mark all of the custom anisotropic filtering settings as
"WILL BREAK THINGS", as that is the case with a select few games.
Mostly fixing unused *, implicit conversion, braced scalar init,
fpermissive, and some others.

Some titles crash if the FPS limit is disabled when launching. This change ensures that titles launch with the limit in-place to avoid issues.
In order to simplify the change, the UI toggle was removed as it will always be overridden at launch to be disabled.
The setting can still be toggled during gameplay with the hotkey, and indicated by the fps label in the status bar.
Decouples the CPU debugging mode from the enumeration to its own
boolean. After this, it moves the CPU Debugging tab over to a sub tab
underneath the Debug tab in the configuration UI.
Old CPU Accuracy setting won't translate well into since we're adding
one at the beginning of the list. On first boot with the new setting,
just use the default setting.
The current CPU accuracy settings in yuzu are fairly polarized and
require more than common knowledge to know what the optimal settings for
yuzu would be. This adds a curated option called 'Auto' that applies a
few at the moment known-good unsafe optimizations to Dynarmic.
Slight improvements to readability.
Dropped suggestions for string_view (settings.h:101), pass by value

There's no point in keeping the file open after the write limit is exceeded. This allows the file to be committed to the disk shortly after it is closed and avoids redundantly checking whether or not the write limit is exceeded.
It became apparent that logging can continuously spam errors that trigger file flushing.
Since committing the files to disk is an expensive operation, this causes unnecessarily high disk usage.
As such, we will revert Flush() to the previous behavior and add a Commit() member function in the event that this behavior is needed.
Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
Removes common_sizes.h in favor of having `_KiB`, `_MiB`, `_GiB`, etc
user-literals within literals.h.
To keep the global namespace clean, users will have to use:
```
using namespace Common::Literals;
```
to access these literals.
This check was preventing files with the Write or Append file access modes from being created, as per the documented behavior in FileAccessMode.
This amends the check to test for the existence of a filesystem object prior to checking whether it is a regular file.
Thanks to liushuyu for pointing out that removing the check altogether would not guard against attempting to open non-regular files such as directories, symlinks, FIFO (pipes), sockets, block devices, or character devices.
The documentation has also been updated for these functions to clarify that a file refers to a regular file.
Similarly, Flush() is typically called to attempt to flush a file into the disk. In the one case where this is used, we do not care whether the flush has succeeded or not, making [[nodiscard]] unnecessary.
There are a lot of scenarios where we don't particularly care whether or not the removal operation and just simply attempt a removal.
As such, removing the [[nodiscard]] attribute is best for these functions.
If this is not waited on, the synchronization primitives are destroyed
whe main exits and the detached task ends up signalling garbage and not
properly finishing.
This introduces a new setting Enable FS Access Log which saves the filesystem access log to sdmc:/FsAccessLog.txt
If this setting is not enabled, this will indicate to FS to not call OutputAccessLogToSdCard.
Fixes softlocks during loading in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 when certain DLC is enabled.
std::fflush does not guarantee that file buffers are flushed to the disk.
Use _commit on Windows and fsync on all other OSes to ensure that the file is flushed to the disk.
MSVC's implementation of recursive_directory_iterator throws an exception on an error despite a std::error_code being passed into its constructor. This is most likely a bug in MSVC's implementation since directory_iterator does not throw an exception on an error.
We can replace the usage of recursive_directory_iterator for now until MSVC fixes their implementation of it.
This falls back to the old approach of using a virtual buffer.
Windows is untested, but this build should fix support for Windows < 10 v1803. However without fastmem support at all.
These macros all interact with the result code type, so they should

- This is a developer-only setting and no longer needs to be enabled by default.
- Also adds "use_auto_stub" setting to SDL frontend while we are here.
- Supersedes #1340.
It shall block until there is something to consume in the queue.
And use it for the GPU emulation instead of the spin loop.
This is only in booting the emulator, however in BOTW this is the case for about 1 second.
Advantage: Altering the handler does not need a full recompilation.
Disadvantage: noreturn is droped, so the caller is a bit slower.
We quite often run yuzu with a YOLO assertion handler. In fact, only very few
games run at all with asserts. This patch allows developers to patch the handler
without recompiling everything. The overhead of the missing "noreturn" attribute
shoul be negletable.
`network.cpp` has several error paths which either:
- report "Unhandled host socket error=n" and return `SUCCESS`, or
- switch on a few possible errors, log them, and translate them to
Errno; the same switch statement is copied and pasted in multiple
places in the code
Convert these paths to use a helper function `GetAndLogLastError`, which
is roughly the equivalent of one of the switch statements, but:
- handling more cases (both ones that were already in `Errno`, and a few
more I added), and
- using OS functions to convert the error to a string when logging, so
it'll describe the error even if it's not one of the ones in the
switch statement.
- To handle this, refactor the logic in `GetLastErrorMsg` to expose a
new function `NativeErrorToString` which takes the error number
explicitly as an argument. And improve the Windows version a bit.
Also, add a test which exercises two random error paths.
- With using unique_ptr instead of shared_ptr, we have more explicit ownership of the context.
- Fixes a memory leak due to circular reference of the shared pointer.
- Previous optimized impl. resulted in an integer overflow, so revert.
- This is our slow/fallback path that should never be really be used, so the optimization in unimportant.
Allow sharing return types with the rest of the code base. For example,
we use 'u128 = std::array<u64, 2>', meanwhile Google's code uses
'uint128 = std::pair<u64, u64>'.
While we are at it, use size_t instead of std::size_t.
We can use the standardized CLZ facilities to perform this. This also
allows us to make utilizing functions constexpr and eliminate the
inclusion of an intrinsics header.
Setting __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH we can force the cache directory to
be in yuzu's user directory to stop commonly distributed malware from
deleting our driver shader cache. And by setting
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP we can have an unbounded shader
cache size.
This has only been implemented on Windows, mostly because previous tests
didn't seem to work on Linux.
Disable the precompiled cache on Nvidia's driver. There's no need to
hide information the driver already has in its own cache.
Reworks the tree header to operate off of templates as opposed to a
series of defines.
This allows all tree facilities to obey namespacing rules, and also
allows this code to be used within modules once compiler support is in
place.
This also gets rid to use a macro to define functions and structs for
necessary data types. With templates, these will be generated when
they're actually used, eliminating the need for the separate
declaration.
Squash attributes into the pointer's integer, making them an uintptr_t
pair containing 2 bits at the bottom and then the pointer. These bits
are currently unused thanks to alignment requirements.
Configure Dynarmic to mask out these bits on pointer reads.
While we are at it, remove some unused attributes carried over from
Citra.
Read/Write and other hot functions use a two step unpacking process that
is less readable to stop MSVC from emitting an extra AND instruction in
the hot path:
mov rdi,rcx
shr rdx,0Ch
mov r8,qword ptr [rax+8]
mov rax,qword ptr [r8+rdx*8]
mov rdx,rax
-and al,3
and rdx,0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFCh
je Core::Memory::Memory::Impl::Read<unsigned char>
mov rax,qword ptr [vaddr]
movzx eax,byte ptr [rdx+rax]
- For `std::same_as`, add missing include of `<concepts>`.
- For `std::convertible_to`, create a replacement in `common/concepts.h`
and use that instead.
This would also be found in `<concepts>`, but unlike `std::same_as`,
`std::convertible_to` is not yet implemented in libc++, LLVM's STL
implementation - not even in master. (In fact, `std::same_as` is the
*only* concept currently implemented. For some reason.)
Fixes regression by 761206cf81, causing
yuzu to not build on Linux with any version of Boost except a cached
1.73 Conan version from before about a day ago.
Moves the Boost requirement out of the `REQUIRED_LIBS` psuedo-2D-array
for Conan to instead be manually configured, using Conan as a fallback
solution if the system does not meet our requirements.
Requires any update from the linux-fresh container in order to build.
**DO NOT MERGE** until someone with the MSVC toolchain can verify this
works there, too.
Fix CreateFullPath to have its intended previous behavior (whatever
that was), and deprecate it in favor of the new CreateDirs function.
Unlike CreateDir, CreateDirs is marked as [[nodiscard]] to avoid new
code ignoring its result value.
