This fails gracefully in the case the upstream kernel doesn't support
this feature, so can go in early.
This feature allows FEX to use hardware's TSO emulation capability to
reduce emulation overhead from our atomic/lrcpc implementation.
In the case that the TSO emulation feature is enabled in FEX, we will
check if the hardware supports this feature and then enable it.
If the hardware feature is supported it will then use regular memory
accesses with the expectation that these are x86-TSO in strength.
The only hardware that anyone cares about that supports this is Apple's
M class SoCs. Theoretically NVIDIA Denver/Carmel supports sequentially
consistent, which isn't quite the same thing. I haven't cared to check
if multithreaded SC has as strong of guarantees. But also since
Carmel/Denver hardware is fairly rare, it's hard to care about for our
use case.
This can be done in an OS agnostic fashion. FEXCore knows the details of
its JIT and should be done in FEXCore itself.
The frontend is only necessary to inform FEXCore where the fault occured
and provide the array of GPRs for accessing and modifying the signal
state.
This is necessary for supporting both Linux and Wine signal contexts
with their unaligned access handlers.
This will be used with the TestHarnessRunner in the future to map
specific memory regions.
This is only used as a hint rather than exact placement with failure on
inability to map. This also hits the fun quirk of 64k allocation
granularity which developers need to be careful about.
This is a very OS specific operation and it living in FEXCore doesn't
make much sense. This still requires some strong collaboration between
FEXCore and the frontend but it is now split between the locations.
There's still a bit more cleanup work that can be done after this is
merged, but we need to get this burning fire out of the way.
This is necessary for llvm-mingw, this requires all previous PRs to be
merged first.
After this is merged, most of the llvm-mingw work is complete, just some
minor cleanups.

This was only used for the unit test fuzzing framework. Which has been
removed and unused for pretty much its entire lifespan.
These can now be internal only.
In order to implement the SSE4.2 string instructions in a reasonable
manner, we can make use of a fallback implementation for the time
being.
This implementation just returns the intermediate result and leaves it
up to the function making use of it to derive the final result from said
intermediate result. This is fine, considering we have the immediate
control byte that tells us exactly what is desired as far as output
formats go.
Given that the result of this IR op will never take up more than
16-bits, we store the flags we need to set in the upper 16 bits of the
result to avoid needing to implement multiple return values in the JIT.
Also, since the IR op just returns the intermediate result, this can be
used to implement all of the explicit string instructions with a single IR op.
The implementation is pretty heavily documented to help make heads or
tails of these monster instructions.
This lets all the path generation for the config to be in the frontend.
This then informs FEXCore where things should live.
This is for llvm-mingw. While paths aren't quite generated correctly,
this gets the code closer to compiling.
This is not an attempt to clean up the various issues with the pthread
logic, instead just moving the pthread specific logic out of FEXCore in
to FEXLoader.
FEXCore needs to know how to create threads in an agnostic way. Which is
why we obfuscate the details with this inteface.
Initially this was implemented with the pthread handlers in FEXCore and
expected eventually for those to get moved to the frontend. This is the
time when it has been moved.
This is the first step towards compiling with llvm-mingw.
Still a long way to go.
Every time we are calling a function in `FEXCore::Allocator::` this is a
pointer indirection. Which means on x86 it is always a `call [rdi]` and
on AArch64 it is a `ldr x17, [x0]; blr x17;`.
Instead of doing this, use inline functions in the header that call the
correct allocation function directly. This function gets inlined and is
no longer an indirect call.
When compiling with jemalloc, we forward declare the jemalloc function
definitions so we don't have to pull in the entire jemalloc interface in
to the public header definitions.
fwrite allocates some backing memory for buffering outputs which FEX
can't track.
Switch to using `fileno` to get the fd from the FILE and write directly.
This will need to be changed for llvm-mingw support but that will come after
this.
This will be added to the documentation that we can't use fwrite.
This is done by consuming a single page at the end of the current sbrk
memory region. Then consuming any remaining bytes that could have
potentially ended up in it.
This ensures that glibc won't be able to return 64-bit pointers to
32-bit thunks once the remaining work is in place.
