FEX_ENABLEAVX was removed. Settings for host features should use
FEX_HOSTFEATURES but actually FEX_HOSTFEATURES=enableavx has different
behaviour, so we don't enable it.
This unit test hasn't really served any purpose for a while now and
mostly just causes pain when reworking things in the IR.
Just remove the IRLoader, its unit tests, the github action steps and
the public FEXCore interface to it. Since it isn't used by anything
other than Thunks.
Also moves some IR definitions from the public API to the backend.
Implements CI for tracking instruction counts for generate blocks of
code when transforming from x86 to ARM64 assembly.
This will end up encompassing every instruction in our instruction
tables similarly to how our assembly tests try to test everything in our
instruction tables.
Incidentally, the data for this CI is generated using our assembly
tests. By enabling disassembly and instruction stats when executing a
suite of instructions, this gives the stats that can be added to a json
file.
The current implementation only implements the SecondGroup table of
instructions because it is a relatively small table and has known
inefficiencies in the instruction implementations. As this gets merged I
will be adding more tables of instructions to additional json files for
testing.
These JSON files will support adjusting CPU features regardless of the
host features so it can test implementations depending on different CPU
features. This will let us test things like one instruction having
different "optimal" implementations depending on if it supports SVE128,
SVE256, SVEI8MM, etc.
This initial instruction auditing is what found the bug in our vector
shift instructions by size of zero. If inspecting the result of the CI
run, you can tell that these instructions still aren't "optimal" because
they are doing loads and stores that can be eliminated.
The "Optimal" in the JSON is purely for human readable and grepping
ability to see what is optimal versus not. Same with the "Comment"
section.
According to my auditing spreadsheet, the total number of instructions
that will end up in these json files will be about 1000, but we will
likely end up with more since there will be edge cases that can be more
optimal depending on arguments.
We don't currently have a device in CI that can run SVE with 128-bit
width registers. Until we have a device with this, make sure the vixl
simulator is also running the ASM tests in this width.
Usually uploading of results takes about two seconds.
Sometimes github's connection to the runner flakes and it stalls out the
upload action for some reason.
Github's default timeout is SIX HOURS.
Change this to a one-minute timeout on the upload step so it quickly
goes away when Github's internet flakes out.
Removes some annotation warnings that have been showing up on the
actions results page.
v2 is deprecated so going to v3 is necessary. Apparently this upgrades
from Node.js 12 to 16.
The dispatcher was saving AVX state even though FEX doesn't support it
currently. This is due to it checking for the config option rather than
the HostFeatures option.
The `EnableAVX` config option is supposed to be used to inform FEXCore
if we want AVX disabled or not when the host supports the feature. In
this case it is universally enabled because we haven't encountered any
games that have issues with AVX state being saved with signals. (We know
they exist, we just don't have configurations for them).
The HostFeatures option `SupportsAVX` is the option that is supposed to
be getting used for determining if the runtime AVX feature is enabled.
This also had an issue though that this was **also** always enabled if
running on an x86 host with AVX, or an ARM host with SVE2-256bit.
It was then disabled if the config option was disabled; But, since
FEX-Emu doesn't support AVX fully yet, we need to ensure this isn't yet
enabled.
But this only solves half the problem. In order for our CI to test AVX
features before fully supporting AVX, it needs to be able to enable AVX
so that the CPU state is correctly saved.
So we need to change the default configuration option to be false, and
have CI enable it for the tests that matter before AVX is fully
implemented.
