Some games benefit from skipping caches (Pokémon Sword), and others
don't (Animal Crossing: New Horizons). Add an heuristic to decide this
at runtime.
The cache hit ratio has to be ~98% or better to not skip the cache.
There are 16 frames of buffer.
Bind extra bytes beyond the guest API's bound range.
This is due to some games like Astral Chain operating out of bounds.
Binding the whole map range would be technically correct, but games
have large maps that make this approach unaffordable for now.
Detect when a memory region has been joined several times and increase
the size of the created buffer on those instances. The buffer is assumed
to be a "stream buffer", increasing its size should stop us from
constantly recreating it and fragmenting memory.
Ports from OpenGL the optimization to skip small 3D uniform buffer
uploads. This will take advantage of the previously introduced stream
buffer.
Fixes instances where the staging buffer offset was being ignored.
This uses a ring buffer similar to OpenGL's stream buffer for small
uploads. This stops us from allocating several small buffers, reducing
memory fragmentation and cache locality.
It uses dedicated allocations when possible.
Reimplement the buffer cache using cached bindings and page level
granularity for modification tracking. This also drops the usage of
shared pointers and virtual functions from the cache.
- Bindings are cached, allowing to skip work when the game changes few
bits between draws.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders no longer copy when a region has been modified
from the GPU to emulate constant buffers, instead GL_EXT_memory_object
is used to alias sub-buffers within the same allocation.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders stream constant buffer data using
glProgramBufferParametersIuivNV, from NV_parameter_buffer_object. In
theory this should save one hash table resolve inside the driver
compared to glBufferSubData.
- A new OpenGL stream buffer is implemented based on fences for drivers
that are not Nvidia's proprietary, due to their low performance on
partial glBufferSubData calls synchronized with 3D rendering (that
some games use a lot).
- Most optimizations are shared between APIs now, allowing Vulkan to
cache more bindings than before, skipping unnecesarry work.
This commit adds the necessary infrastructure to use Vulkan object from
OpenGL. Overall, it improves performance and fixes some bugs present on
the old cache. There are still some edge cases hit by some games that
harm performance on some vendors, this are planned to be fixed in later
commits.
Some games usually write memory pages currently used by the GPU, causing
rendering issues (e.g. flashing geometry and shadows on Link's
Awakening). To workaround this issue, Guest CPU writes are delayed until
the command buffer finishes processing, but the pages are updated
immediately.
The overall behavior is:
- CPU writes are cached until they are flushed, they update the page
state, but don't change the modification state. Cached writes stop
pages from being flushed, in case games have meaningful data in it.
- Command processing writes (e.g. push constants) update the page state
and are marked to the command processor as dirty. They don't remove
the state of cached writes.
It keeps track of the modified CPU and GPU ranges on a CPU page
granularity, notifying the given rasterizer about state changes
in the tracking behavior of the buffer.
Use a small vector optimization to store buffers smaller than 256 KiB
locally instead of using free store memory allocations.
The current texture cache has several points that hurt maintainability
and performance. It's easy to break unrelated parts of the cache
when doing minor changes. The cache can easily forget valuable
information about the cached textures by CPU writes or simply by its
normal usage.The current texture cache has several points that hurt

This commit aims to address those issues.
Now that the GPU is initialized when video backends are initialized,
it's no longer needed to query components once the game is running: it
can be done when yuzu is booting.
This allows us to pass components between constructors and in the
process remove all Core::System references in the video backend.
We can make use of emplace()'s return value to determine whether or not
we need to perform an increment.
emplace() performs no insertion if an element already exist, so this can
eliminate a find() call.
* Switch game settings to use a pointer
In order to add full per-game settings, we need to be able to tell yuzu to switch
to using either the global or game configuration. Using a pointer makes it easier
to switch.
* configuration: add new UI without changing existing funcitonality
The new UI also adds General, System, Graphics, Advanced Graphics,
and Audio tabs, but as yet they do nothing. This commit keeps yuzu
to the same functionality as originally branched.
* configuration: Rename files
These weren't included in the last commit. Now they are.
* configuration: setup global configuration checkbox
Global config checkbox now enables/disables the appropriate tabs in the game
properties dialog. The use global configuration setting is now saved to the
config, defaulting to true. This also addresses some changes requested in the PR.
* configuration: swap to per-game config memory for properties dialog
Does not set memory going in-game. Swaps to game values when opening the
properties dialog, then swaps back when closing it. Uses a `memcpy` to swap.
Also implements saving config files, limited to certain groups of configurations
so as to not risk setting unsafe configurations.
* configuration: change config interfaces to use config-specific pointers
When a game is booted, we need to be able to open the configuration dialogs
without changing the settings pointer in the game's emualtion. A new pointer
specific to just the configuration dialogs can be used to separate changes
to just those config dialogs without affecting the emulation.
* configuration: boot a game using per-game settings
Swaps values where needed to boot a game.
* configuration: user correct config during emulation
Creates a new pointer specifically for modifying the configuration while
emulation is in progress. Both the regular configuration dialog and the game
properties dialog now use the pointer Settings::config_values to focus edits to
the correct struct.
* settings: split Settings::values into two different structs
By splitting the settings into two mutually exclusive structs, it becomes easier,
as a developer, to determine how to use the Settings structs after per-game
configurations is merged. Other benefits include only duplicating the required
settings in memory.
* settings: move use_docked_mode to Controls group
`use_docked_mode` is set in the input settings and cannot be accessed from the
system settings. Grouping it with system settings causes it to be saved with
per-game settings, which may make transferring configs more difficult later on,
especially since docked mode cannot be set from within the game properties
dialog.
* configuration: Fix the other yuzu executables and a regression
In main.cpp, we have to get the title ID before the ROM is loaded, else the
renderer will reflect only the global settings and now the user's game specific
settings.
* settings: use a template to duplicate memory for each setting
Replaces the type of each variable in the Settings::Values struct with a new
class that allows basic data reading and writing. The new struct
Settings::Setting duplicates the data in memory and can manage global overrides
per each setting.
* configuration: correct add-ons config and swap settings when apropriate
Any add-ons interaction happens directly through the global values struct.
Swapping bewteen structs now also includes copying the necessary global configs
that cannot be changed nor saved in per-game settings. General and System config
menus now update based on whether it is viewing the global or per-game settings.
* settings: restore old values struct
No longer needed with the Settings::Setting class template.
* configuration: implement hierarchical game properties dialog
This sets the apropriate global or local data in each setting.
* clang format
* clang format take 2
can the docker container save this?
* address comments and style issues
* config: read and write settings with global awareness
Adds new functions to read and write settings while keeping the global state in
focus. Files now generated per-game are much smaller since often they only need
address the global state.
* settings: restore global state when necessary
Upon closing a game or the game properties dialog, we need to restore all global
settings to the original global state so that we can properly open the
configuration dialog or boot a different game.
* configuration: guard setting values incorrectly
This disables setting values while a game is running if the setting is
overwritten by a per game setting.
* config: don't write local settings in the global config
Simple guards to prevent writing the wrong settings in the wrong files.
* configuration: add comments, assume less, and clang format
No longer assumes that a disabled UI element means the global state is turned
off, instead opting to directly answer that question. Still however assumes a
game is running if it is in that state.
* configuration: fix a logic error
Should not be negated
* restore settings' global state regardless of accept/cancel
Fixes loading a properties dialog and causing the global config dialog to show
local settings.
* fix more logic errors
Fixed the frame limit would set the global setting from the game properties
dialog. Also strengthened the Settings::Setting member variables and simplified
the logic in config reading (ReadSettingGlobal).
* fix another logic error
In my efforts to guard RestoreGlobalState, I accidentally negated the IsPowered
condition.
* configure_audio: set toggle_stretched_audio to tristate
* fixed custom rtc and rng seed overwriting the global value
* clang format
* rebased
* clang format take 4
* address my own review
Basically revert unintended changes
* settings: literal instead of casting
"No need to cast, use 1U instead"
Thanks, Morph!

"
This reverts commit 95e992a87c898f3e882ffdb415bb0ef9f80f613f.
* main: fix status buttons reporting wrong settings after stop emulation
* settings: Log UseDockedMode in the Controls group
This should have happened when use_docked_mode was moved over to the controls group
internally. This just reflects this in the log.

In other words, don't exit if the loader has trouble getting a title id.

This reverts commit 54c35ecb46a29953842614620f9b7de1aa9d5dc8.
* configure_graphics: guard device selector when Vulkan is global
Prevents the user from editing the device selector if Vulkan is the global
renderer backend. Also resets the vulkan_device variable when the users
switches back-and-forth between global and Vulkan.
* address reviewer concerns
Changes function variables to const wherever they don't need to be changed. Sets Settings::Setting to final as it should not be inherited from. Sets ConfigurationShared::use_global_text to static.

* main: load per-game settings after LoadROM
This prevents `Restart Emulation` from restoring the global settings *after* the per-game settings were applied. Thanks to BSoDGamingYT for finding this bug.
* Revert "main: load per-game settings after LoadROM"
This reverts commit 9d0d48c52d2dcf3bfb1806cc8fa7d5a271a8a804.
* main: only restore global settings when necessary
Loading the per-game settings cannot happen after the ROM is loaded, so we have to specify when to restore the global state. Again thanks to BSoD for finding the bug.
* configuration_shared: address reviewer concerns except operator overrides
Dropping operator override usage in next commit.
Co-Authored-By: LC <lioncash@users.noreply.github.com>
* settings: Drop operator overrides from Setting template
Requires using GetValue and SetValue explicitly. Also reverts a change that broke title ID formatting in the game properties dialog.
* complete rebase
* configuration_shared: translate "Use global configuration"
Uses ConfigurePerGame to do so, since its usage, at least as of now, corresponds with ConfigurationShared.
* configure_per_game: address reviewer concern
As far as I understand, it prevents the program from unnecessarily copying strings.

After marking buffers as resident, Nvidia's driver seems to take a
slow path. To workaround this issue, copy to a STREAM_READ buffer and
then call GetNamedBufferSubData on it.
This is a temporary solution until we have asynchronous flushing.
Make stream buffer and cached buffers as resident and query their
address. This allows us to use GPU addresses for several proprietary
Nvidia extensions.
Instead of using as template argument a shared pointer, use the
underlying type and manage shared pointers explicitly. This can make
removing shared pointers from the cache more easy.
While we are at it, make some misc style changes and general
improvements (like insert_or_assign instead of operator[] + operator=).
Avoid copying to a staging buffer on non-granular memory addresses.
Add a callable argument to StreamBufferUpload to be able to copy to the
staging buffer directly from ReadBlockUnsafe.
Drop the std::list hack to allocate memory indefinitely.
Instead use a custom allocator that keeps references valid until
destruction. This allocates fixed chunks of memory and puts pointers in
a free list. When an allocation is no longer used put it back to the
free list, this doesn't heap allocate because std::vector doesn't change
the capacity. If the free list is empty, allocate a new chunk.
Most overlaps in the buffer cache only contain one mapped address.
We can avoid close to all heap allocations once the buffer cache is
warmed up by using a small_vector with a stack size of one.
Instead of using boost::icl::interval_map for caching, use
boost::intrusive::set. interval_map is intended as a container where the
keys can overlap with one another; we don't need this for caching
buffers and a std::set-like data structure that allows us to search with
lower_bound is enough.
Reduces some header churn and reduces rebuilds when some header
internals change.
While we're at it we can also resolve a missing include in buffer_cache.
Drop MemoryBarrier from the buffer cache and use Maxwell3D's register
WaitForIdle.
To implement this on OpenGL we just call glMemoryBarrier with the
necessary bits.
Vulkan lacks this synchronization primitive, so we set an event and
immediately wait for it. This is not a pretty solution, but it's what
Vulkan can do without submitting the current command buffer to the queue
(which ends up being more expensive on the CPU).
The original idea of returning pointers is that handles can be moved.
The problem is that the implementation didn't take that in mind and made
everything harder to work with. This commit drops pointer to handles and
returns the handles themselves. While it is still true that handles can
be invalidated, this way we get an old handle instead of a dangling
pointer.
This problem can be solved in the future with sparse buffers.
Delay buffer destruction some extra frames to avoid destroying buffers
that are still being used from older frames. This happens on Nvidia's
driver with mailbox.
