- Both ZCULL stats and ZPASS stats require hardware queries, but
ZCULL stats should not contribute to ZPASS stats and vice versa!
- Disables hardware queries for ZCULL stats by themselves, we cannot
generate them correctly anyway and no game so far has been found to
actually use them. Should lessen the load on the backend for games
that do not actually require it.
- A few nagging issues remain, specifically that partial command stream
largely caused by poor synchronization structures for partial CS flush
and also the fact that occlusion map entries wait on a command buffer
and not an EID!
- Prefer lazy retire model. Sync commands are sent out and the reports will be
retired when they are available without forcing.
- To make this work with conditional rendering, hardware support is
required where the backend will automatically determine visibility by
itself during rendering.
- Allow delaying report flushes triggered by image_in or buffer_notify
- When the report is ready, all the delayed transfers will automatically
be done.
- TODO: Make this configurable?
- Renormalizes arbitrary N-bit values as 8-bit normalized.
- NV hardware performs integer normalization at 8 bits if the size is less than 8.
- This can cause significant arithmetic drift because the error is multiplied by a huge number when sampling.
* allow sys_rsx_device_map to be called twice: in this case the DEVICE address retrived from the previous call returned
* Add ENOMEM checks for sys_rsx_memory_allocate and sys_rsx_context_allocate
* add EINVAL check for sys_rsx_context_allocate if memory handle is not found
* Separate sys_rsx_device_map allocation from sys_rsx_context_allocate's
* Implement sys_rsx_memory_free; used by cellGcmInit upon failure
* Added context_id checks
* Throw if sys_rsx_context_allocate was called twice.
- Allows frameskipping to occur naturally if RSX thread is bombarded with flip requests but just jumping to the last one if possible
- See request_emu_flip() for async frame submission and implicit skipping
- Also allows display queue to fill faster than the flip thread can drain the queue
- Separate displayed statistics from actual backend statistics.
Allows asynchronous flipping to work correctly as it just uses display stats.
The real stats are used by the frame scope marker to determine behavior like engaging the FIFO optimizer or skipping draw calls correctly.
- Add an explicit frame scope marker tied in with the queue_prepare command
Since queue_prepare is emitted at the end of a frame, it can be used as end-of-frame in games that emit this
- If this command is not emitted, fifo flatenner and frameskip will not work
- Do not allow offloader to handle its own faults. Serialize them on RSX instead.
This approach introduces a GPU race condition that should be avoided with improved synchronization.
- TODO: Use proper GPU-side synchronization to avoid this situation
- ZCULL queue was updated to one-per-cb but the conditional render sync hint was not updated.
- Do not unconditionally flush the queue unless the upcoming ref is contained in the active CB.
- This avoids spamming queue flush, which frees up resources and improves performance
