With the new systemd support, we had forgotten to wrap this check in an
arm64 check. I had done an install and broke my x86 machine.
Add the check back so we stop breaking x86 machines...again. Took me
only about three hours to find the issue this time.
Like how FEXCore disabled vixl linking, make sure we aren't accidentally
compiling and including it when vixl stuff is disabled. Noticed this in
the build logs.
Adds support for binfmt_misc through systemd configuration paths. Their
configuration files are basically the raw kernel interface description
in a .conf file, quite a bit more simple than the legacy debian path.
Default enable this path since systemd is the expected default
arrangement these days.
Fixes#2417
This moves the CPU feature querying to the frontend. The primary purpose
here is for the wow64 frontend to not require linux-isms for querying
these features. This is required since non-Linux environments don't have
the "CPUID" feature for reading EL1 MSRs in EL0.
Wiring up the remaining wow64 registry querying is left for a future
exercise.
This also technically removes an xbyak requirement from FEXCore for when
building the x86 Test harness runner, but that doesn't really matter for
regular use cases.
At the moment we always run ctest with max number of cpus. If
undefined, it will keep current behaviour, otherwise it will
honour TEST_JOB_COUNT.
Therefore to run ctest one test at a time, use
`cmake ... -DTEST_JOB_COUNT=1`
Currently our minimum clang version requirement is 12.0 but soon will
require at least 13 or 14. Add a new version check in cmake to ensure
minimum version requirements.
Makes it easier to determine why a build is failing due to old compiler.
This was a funny joke that this was here, but it is fundamentally
incompatible with what we're doing. All those users are running proot
anyway because of how broken running under termux directly is.
Just remove this from here.
This fixes an issue where CPU tunables were ending up in the thunk
generator which means if your CPU doesn't support all the features on
the *Builder* then it would crash with SIGILL. This was happening with
Canonical's runners because they typically only support ARMv8.2 but we
are compiling packages to run on ARMv8.4 devices.

This is blocking performance improvements. This backend is almost
unilaterally unused except for when I'm testing if games run on Radeon
video drivers.
Hopefully AmpereOne and Orin/Grace can fulfill this role when they
launch next year.
It is scarcely used today, and like the x86 jit, it is a significant
maintainence burden complicating work on FEXCore and arm64 optimization. Remove
it, bringing us down to 2 backends.
1 down, 1 to go.
Some interpreter scaffolding remains for x87 fallbacks. That is not a problem
here.

It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.

While the ENABLE_LLD and ENABLE_MOLD options are nice, they don't handle
the case when the linker of `lld` or `mold` doesn't match the compiler.
This particularly crops up when overriding the C compiler to a new
version of clang but the globally installed `ld.lld` is still the old
clang version.
This then causes clang to fail with unusual errors when upstream breaks
compatibility with itself.
Easy enough to use by passing the linker to cmake:
`-DUSE_LINKER=/usr/bin/ld.lld-15`
This also removes the ENABLE_LLD and ENABLE_MOLD options to use
USE_LINKER directly.
- ldd: `-DUSE_LINKER=lld`
- mold: `-DUSE_LINKER=mold`
Example of compiler failure when built with clang-15 but attempting to
link with ld.lld 14:
```bash
ld.lld-14: error: unittests/APITests/CMakeFiles/Filesystem.dir/Filesystem.cpp.o: Opaque pointers are only supported in -opaque-pointers mode (Producer: 'LLVM15.0.7' Reader: 'LLVM 14.0.6')
```
We still need to hook glibc for thunks to work with
`IsHostHeapAllocation`.
So now we link in two jemalloc allocators in different namespaces.
As usual we have multiple heap allocators that we need to be careful about.
1. jemalloc with `je_` namespace.
- This is FEX's regular heap allocator and what gets used for all the
fextl objects.
- This allocator is the one that the FEX mmap/munmap hooks hook in to
- This mmap hooking gives this allocator the full 48-bit VA even in
32-bit space.
2. jemalloc with `glibc_je_` namespace.
- This is the allocator that overrides the glibc allocator routines
- This is the allocator that thunks will use.
- This is what `IsHostHeapAllocation` will check for.
3. Guest glibc allocator
- We don't touch this one. But it is distinct from the host side
allocators.
- The guest side of thunks will use this heap allocator.
4. Host glibc allocator
- #2 replaces this one unless explicitly disabled.
- Always expected to override the allocator, so this configuration
isn't expected.
Already tested this with Dota Underlords to ensure this works with
thunks.
Right now cmake doesn't even get past the configuration stage when mingw
is used.
If mingw is detected, setup cmake so it can at least configure itself.
Will be necessary for cleaning up the rest of the codebase.
This is useful as a debug option and will be useful to have in upstream
while comparing output between current vixl emitter and the new emitter.
With this in place I can easily do binary comparisons to see where I
have mistakes in the new emitter.
We don't want this enabled in release builds as it is a debug feature.
This has already caught a bunch of mistakes, so make it easier by
upstreaming.
It'll likely be useful in the future as well when we are inspecting code
running in the vixl simulator.
This creates a generic interface that FEXCore can use for timeline
profiling. This allows us to create a generic interface which the
backend details are hidden so we can support multiple timeline profile
APIs.
The only API supported right now is ftrace/gpuvis. Which is extremely
lightweight of an interface with minimal overhead.
We must be careful here since in most cases will will have dozens of
FEX instances running at any given time. So a timeline profiler like
Microprofiler can have major issues since that only ever expects a
single process at a time.
Not enabled by default but just needs the `ENABLE_FEXCORE_PROFILER`
cmake option set to enable.
