No need to wait for initialization on for this anymore.
Ever since Init was refactored to do basically no work, this hasn't been
necessary.
CPUID does need to still be initialized after HostFeatures though, so
need to ensure correct member ordering there.
When the address calculation for SIB has both index and base then we can
optimize this to an add with a shifted register. This will convert a
three instruction sequence in to one instruction in most cases.
When originally written I was testing symbol loading on an x86 host
assuming that the vdso symbol names were the same between x86 and
aarch64.
Turns out this is not true and aarch64 uses `__kernel_` prefix instead
of x86's `__vdso_`.
AArch64 VDSO only provides us with four symbols right now
- __kernel_rt_sigreturn
- __kernel_gettimeofday
- __kernel_clock_gettime
- __kernel_clock_getres
This means that currently AArch64 is missing getcpu and time.
time is unlikely to ever be implemented so the vdso scanning for that is
unlikely to ever get a pointer and will need to go down the glibc path.
getcpu is likely to get an implementation at some point. There's even an
old patch series that implemented it[1]. Currently the patch has been
dropped on the floor for whatever reason but hopefully they will come
back to it.
Benchmarks on Cortex-X1C:
- Native AArch64 clock_gettime bench
- VDSO: 33.3ns per call
- glibc (which uses vdso): 33.3ns per call
- Roughly equivalent
- Emulated x86_64 clock_gettime bench
- Prior to fix:
- 49ns per call for both VDSO and glibc
- After fix:
- VDSO: ~46ns per call
- glibc: ~49ns per call
- Emulated i386 clock_gettime bench
- Only tested after fix
- VDSO: 50ns per call
- glibc: 65ns per call
The only way to improve this further would be to optimize thunks to push
certain function signature arguments in registers instead of stack.
Which is a future optimization as time goes on.

While we were calling this function, its asserting nature hasn't been
used for a long time.
This used to trigger more frequently when CompileBlock would fail to
compile code, either due to not being able to decode an instruction or
hitting an instruction that FEX doesn't understand.
When these cases are hit today we still generate code blocks which
generate SIGILL. This means that this code was actually never hit.
Completely remove this function and have the JIT's dispatcher call the
CompileBlock function directly. Signature is slightly different since we
need to set x3 to be 0.
Reduces the ELF's VM size from 9.8MB down to 9.37MB and should reduce
initialization time a smidge.
Slammed this out while waiting for other PRs to get reviewed.
Fairly lightweight since it is almost 1:1 transplanting the code from
FEXCore in to the SyscallHandler's thread creation code.
Minor changes:
- ExecutionThreadHandler gets freed before executing the thread
- Saves 16-bytes of memory per thread
- Start all threads paused by default
- Since I moved the code to the frontend, I noticed we needed to do
some post thread-creation setup.
- Without the pause we were racing code execution with TLS setup and
a few other things.
clone needs to allocate memory before the fork locks are held, otherwise
they will hang forever waiting on a locked mutex.
This wasn't previously seen since nothing was using fork with clone3.
GdbServer object was getting deleted before the socket thread was
shutdown which was causing a crash on detach.
Now on destructor it will wait for the thread to thread to exit.
A dictionary lookup was only ever returning the .ero result since we
were adding multiple values to the same key. Adds them as a list now and
walks them.
Additionally if we forget to add a new version again, have a fallback to
try checking using our file format layout.
Fixes an issue where a user running 23.10 was faulting the python
script.
This flag breaks FEX heavily for now.
glibc 2.38 started using this flag as an optimization for posix_spawn.
It will fall back to a "non-optimized" implementation if the clone
syscall returns EINVAL. For now do this while we investigate a more
proper implementation.
Should be backported to 2312.1.
In some situations TestNZ is generated with a constant that is using a
constant that can't fit inside of the tst instruction.
This was found in libGLX with virgl, crashing invalid instruction
generation and crashing steamwebhelper
