The JIT is mature enough that this setting can be removed, falling back
to Unicorn only on unsupported architectures. Any missing features from
Unicorn (of which there are extremely few), are mostly
developer-oriented, which most users don't care about.
Features should be coordinated with the JIT, not the interpreter,
anyhow.
A normal user shouldn't change this, as it will slow down the emulation and can lead to bugs or crashes. The renaming is done in order to prevent users from leaving this on without a way to turn it off from the UI.
Adjusts the interface of the wrappers to take a system reference, which
allows accessing a system instance without using the global accessors.
This also allows getting rid of all global accessors within the
supervisor call handling code. While this does make the wrappers
themselves slightly more noisy, this will be further cleaned up in a
follow-up. This eliminates the global system accessors in the current
code while preserving the existing interface.
Since C++17, the introduction of deduction guides for locking facilities
means that we no longer need to hardcode the mutex type into the locks
themselves, making it easier to switch mutex types, should it ever be
necessary in the future.
Avoids directly relying on the global system instance and instead makes
an arbitrary system instance an explicit dependency on construction.
This also allows removing dependencies on some global accessor functions
as well.
Gets rid of the largest set of mutable global state within the core.
This also paves a way for eliminating usages of GetInstance() on the
System class as a follow-up.
Note that no behavioral changes have been made, and this simply extracts
the functionality into a class. This also has the benefit of making
dependencies on the core timing functionality explicit within the
relevant interfaces.
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
Like the barrier, this is owned entirely by the System and will always
outlive the encompassing state, so shared ownership semantics aren't
necessary here.
This will always outlive the Cpu instances, since it's destroyed after
we destroy the Cpu instances on shutdown, so there's no need for shared
ownership semantics here.
We divide the number of ticks to add by the number of cores (4) to obtain a more or less rough estimate of the actual number of ticks added. This assumes that all 4 cores are doing similar work. Previously we were adding ~4 times the number of ticks, thus making the games think that time was going way too fast.
This lets us bypass certain hangs in some games like Breath of the Wild.
We should modify our CoreTiming to support multiple cores (both running in a single thread, and in multiple host threads).
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
