Yang Liu 74ee4280db [DYNAREC] Added callret=3 and move in_used tracking to it (#4609) 
Also removed the leafcall optimization from LoongArch.

Yang Liu c61543e47b [DYNAREC] Removed the secondary entry points (#4464) 2026-09-27 17:51:14 +02:00
Yang Liu 92527ded34 [DYNAREC] Added dynablock in_used tracking and removed DYNAREC_PURGE (#4405) 
With DYNAREC_CALLRET>1, a callee returns directly into the caller block. If that block is invalidated and its JIT memory reused before all pending returns are done, the returning thread jumps into random data. in_used is now tracked and the deferred free only recycles blocks with in_used==0.
DYNAREC_PURGE and tick tracking were removed, they were marked as legacy and now it's a good time to remove.

* [DYNAREC][ENV] Disabled SEP by default

Now that we have callret enabled by default, I noticed SEP causes the branch misprediction by an order of magnitude in coremark, while the memory-saving effect is almost imperceptible.

 		7e5310b260 cpuid: Enable Invariant TSC bit for Intel CPU type (#3579) 
* cpuid: Enable Invariant TSC bit for Intel CPU type

The Invariant TSC bit (CPUID leaf 0x80000007, EDX bit 8) was already
enabled for AMD CPU type but was commented out for Intel CPU type.

ARM64 provides an invariant system counter via CNTPCT_EL0, so
advertising Invariant TSC capability is correct on ARM64 hardware
regardless of the emulated CPU vendor.

Some applications (notably World of Warcraft and VanillaFixes) check
this bit and refuse to run or crash when it is not set.

Fixes #2485

* Gate Invariant TSC behind BOX64_RDTSC_INV env var

Software often reports the timer clock as the CPU clock, which
is incorrect under Box64. Make the Invariant TSC bit in CPUID
leaf 0x80000007 opt-in for the Intel CPU type path via
BOX64_RDTSC_INV=1 (disabled by default).

The AMD CPU type path already reports this bit unconditionally.

* cpuid: fix BOX64_RDTSC_INV availability in WowBox64.dll and sanitize comments

- Set wine flag to 1 so BOX64_RDTSC_INV is parseable and initialised
  correctly when compiled as WowBox64.dll (_WIN32 context)
- Remove verbose comment annotation; env var name is evident from code
