Of it, the backends read the EFB scale, now passed as the backbuffer
scale; GLContext::Create tested for libretro, its only context; and
the controller interface kept a render window that is always null. The
video backends' Initialize, InitBackendInfo and PopulateBackendInfo,
Core::Init, EmuThread and StartEmuThread, BootCore and the controller
interface lose the parameter; PrepareWindow, ChangeWindow, the window
change refresh and the Vulkan instance's surface extensions go, as
nothing presents but the frontend.
D3D11 sets logic op support from the device again (off on UWP) and
always reports object names: the UWP check's else had swallowed the
object-name line and logic op was never on. The Android input backend
is no longer created, so its source, include and CIFACE_USE_ANDROID go.
Core.h declarations indented with spaces like the rest of the file.
- CommandProcessor: the FIFO registers shared by the CPU and GPU
threads are retro_atomic words, read and written through LoadReg and
StoreReg; MMIO's LowPart/HighPart take those words.
- Fifo: the video buffer write and seen pointers, the sync ticks and
the stop request.
- PerfQueryBase: the query count and results sit behind base-class
helpers that every backend (Metal too) uses instead of touching the
atomics.
- Custom assets: the loader's memory delta and an asset's last load
time are 64-bit words; Present's swap flag is an int.
- D3D's input layout, Vulkan's waiting_for_submit.
- InputCommon: a NumericSetting's value and the Wiimote and Android
rumble levels are kept as their bits in a 64-bit word; the
ControllerInterface flags, counter and aspect ratio are int words.
- CachedBlob's fill position and stop flag.
UICommon/GameFileCache is deleted: only the Android app's game list
used it, and that is not part of the core.
Every std::mutex, lock_guard, unique_lock, scoped_lock,
condition_variable, call_once and semaphore left in Source/Core is
replaced by a lock-free design:
- Input: the device list, control bindings, stick calibration and
default device are published snapshots read under a quiesce; a
rebind requested while another thread is rebinding is handed to
that thread instead of waited for.
- WiimoteReal: the pool thread owns the slots and runs commands from
an MPSC queue; the active Wiimotes are atomic slots.
- EXI/SI/IOS devices: socket and packet traffic goes through SPSC
rings or MPSC handoffs owned by one thread; USB scanning publishes
its device list, and libusb transfers drain through a CallGate.
- Memory cards: the flush thread applies change records queued by
the CPU thread.
- Custom assets: loads are scheduled as a published batch with an
atomic cursor, results come back over an MPSC stack, and busy
assets are skipped and retried.
- D3D state and GL program caches use insert-only atomic maps
(Common/AtomicHashMap.h).
- Logging appends with O_APPEND / FILE_APPEND_DATA; FatFs reports
busy instead of waiting; per-socket WSAStartup/WSACleanup.
Deleted as unused by the libretro core: the profiler, the FIFO
recorder, the volume verifier, the touch InputOverrider and the
GameCube adapter's libusb path.
None of these run in the core: UPnP served NetPlay; the DInput, XInput,
WGInput, Win32, Quartz, Xlib, evdev and Pipes input backends are never
enabled, since input comes from libretro; and disc conversion, with its
multithreaded compressor, was only reached from DolphinTool. The WIA,
RVZ and GCZ readers stay.
The core runs only inside a libretro frontend. The Qt frontend and its
submodule go, together with what only it used: the Qt DBus screensaver
inhibit, the JIT's single-block erase, the string translator hook, the
Qt translation catalogs and Transifex config, the desktop packaging
(NSIS, RPM, Flatpak) and the autoupdate overview.
The core takes its input from the libretro frontend and never builds the
SDL controller backend. The SDL submodule, the backend, its config entries
and the SDL hints and version bits of the Qt frontend go.
Accomplished using `run-clang-tidy` with `performance-move-const-arg,performance-unnecessary-value-param,modernize-pass-by-value`.
Changed arguments to const references, removed them where inappropriate (e.g. sink parameters). Same with std::move.
Manually reviewed each change to make sure that it makes sense, and do something more appropriate if possible.
In WiimoteReal.cpp, JitRegCache.cpp, lambda predicates were replaced by pointers to member functions because ranges algorithms are able invoke those.
In ConvertDialog.cpp, the `std::mem_fn` helper was removed because ranges algorithms are able to handle pointers to member functions as predicates.
This specific issue was already addressed by https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/11635
though I felt like there was something more we could do, and wasn't too happy with the
likelihood of devices update calls being skipped (due to `m_devices_population_mutex` being locked).
This reads Steam Deck controls bypassing Steam Input. This allows for access to
motion controls as well as independent access to thumb sticks, trackpads, and
back grip buttons.
In UpdateInput, lock m_devices_population_mutex before m_devices_mutex
to be consistent with other ControllerInterface functions. Normally the
former lock isn't needed in UpdateInput, but when a Wii Remote
disconnects it calls RemoveDevice which results in the mutexes being
locked in the wrong order.
Fixes bug: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12744
Before https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/e1e3db13baabefa89991388d37db0bb260c4f535
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489

This helps us keeping the most important devices (e.g. Mouse and Keyboard) on the top
of the list of devices (they still are on all OSes supported by dolphin
and to make hotplug devices like DSU appear at the bottom.
-Fix Add/Remove/Refresh device safety, devices could be added and removed at the same time, causing missing or duplicated devices (rare but possible)
-Fix other devices population race conditions in ControllerInterface
-Avoid re-creating all devices when dolphin is being shut down
-Avoid re-creating devices when the render window handle has changed (just the relevantr ones now)
-Avoid sending Devices Changed events if devices haven't actually changed
-Made most devices populations will be made async, to increase performance and avoid hanging the host or CPU thread on manual devices refresh
A "devices changed" callback could have ended up waiting on another thread that was also populating devices
and waiting on the previous thread to release the callbacks mutex.
