This way, Android (which will show groups in the order they're defined)
will show groups in a more logical order similar to DolphinQt.
The main thing that was annoying me was how early Rumble was for
Wii Remotes. Some of the other changes I'm making in this commit,
like the order of Shake/Tilt/Swing, are more arbitrary and were
made for consistency with DolphinQt. But there are also places
where I didn't go all the way with matching DolphinQt. Most notably,
DolphinQt puts sticks before buttons, but I don't see any reason
to do that for Android.
Unlike PCs, Android doesn't really have any input method (not counting
touch) that can reasonably be expected to exist on most devices.
Because of this, I don't think shipping with a default mapping for the
buttons and sticks of GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes makes sense.
I would however like to ship default mappings for a few things:
1. Mapping the Wii Remote's accelerometer and gyroscope to the device's
accelerometer and gyroscope. This functionality is useful mainly
for people who use the touchscreen, but can also be useful when
using a clip-on controller. The disadvantage of having this mapped
by default is that games disable pointer input if the accelerometer
reports that the Wii Remote is pointed at the ceiling.
2. Mapping GC keyboards for use with a physical keyboard, like on PC.
After all, there's no other way of mapping them that makes sense.
3. Mapping rumble to the device's vibrator.
Aside from the GC keyboards, this approach is effectively the same as
what we were doing before the input overhaul.
This is a battery-saving measure. Whether a sensor should be suspended
is determined in the same way as whether key events and motion events
should be handled by the OS rather than consumed by Dolphin.
When Android presents an input event to an app, it wants the app to
return true or false depending on whether the app handled the event or
not. If the event wasn't handled by the app, it will be passed on to
the system, which may decide to take an action depending on what kind
of input event it is. For instance, if a B button press is passed on to
the system, it will be turned into a Back press. But if an R1 press is
passed on to the system, nothing in particular happens.
It's important that we get this return value right in Dolphin. For
instance, the user generally wouldn't want a B button press to open
the EmulationActivity menu, so B button presses usually shouldn't be
passed on to the system - but volume button presses usually should be
passed on to the system, since it would be hard to adjust the volume
otherwise. What ButtonManager did was to pass on input events that are
for a button which the user has not mapped, which I think makes sense.
But exactly how to implement that is more complicated in the new input
backend than in ButtonManager, because now we have a separation between
the input backend and the code that keeps track of the user's mappings.
What I'm going with in this commit is to treat an input as mapped if
it has been polled recently. In part I chose this because it seemed
like a simple way of implementing it that wouldn't cause too many
layering violations, but it also has two useful side effects:
1. If a controller is not being polled (e.g. GameCube controllers in
Wii games that don't use them), its mappings will not be considered.
2. Once sensor input is implemented in the Android input backend,
we will be able to use this "polled recently" tracking to power down
the sensors at times when the game is using a Wii Remote reporting
mode that doesn't include motion data. (Assuming that the sensor
inputs only are mapped to Wii Remote motion controls, that is.)
Android doesn't let us poll inputs whenever we want. Instead, we
listen to input events (activities will have to forward them to the
input backend), and store the received values in atomic variables
in the Input classes. This is similar in concept to how ButtonManager
worked, but without its homegrown second input mapping system.
ButtonManager is very different from how a normal input backend works,
and is making it hard for us to improve controller support on Android.
The following commits will add a new input backend in its place.
This second stack leads to JNI problems on Android, because ART fetches
the address and size of the original stack using pthread functions
(see GetThreadStack in art/runtime/thread.cc), and (presumably) treats
stack addresses outside of the original stack as invalid. (What I don't
understand is why some JNI operations on the CPU thread work fine
despite this but others don't.)
Instead of creating a second stack, let's borrow the approach ART uses:
Use pthread functions to find out the stack's address and size, then
install guard pages at an appropriate location. This lets us get rid
of a workaround we had in the MsgAlert function.
Because we're no longer choosing the stack size ourselves, I've made some
tweaks to where the put the guard pages. Previously we had a stack of
2 MiB and a safe zone of 512 KiB. We now accept stacks as small as 512 KiB
(used on macOS) and use a safe zone of 256 KiB. I feel like this should
be fine, but haven't done much testing beyond "it seems to work".
By the way, on Windows it was already the case that we didn't create
a second stack... But there was a bug in the implementation!
The code for protecting the stack has to run on the CPU thread, since
it's the CPU thread's stack we want to protect, but it was actually
running on EmuThread. This commit fixes that, since now this bug
matters on other operating systems too.
It was a bit silly having four functions for effectively the same thing
in all of SettingsFragmentView, SettingsFragment, SettingsActivityView,
SettingsActivity, and SettingsActivityPresenter.
With this change, we split on the four MenuTag types in
SettingsActivityPresenter instead of in SettingsAdapter.
The settings GameCube Controller N and Wii Remote N (where N is a number)
have two purposes: You can select what controller type you want to use,
and also, when you select a controller type (even if you're selecting the
one that already is selected), the mapping settings open. This second part
is less discoverable than it ideally should be. I'm changing it so that
there now is a button for opening the mapping settings instead.
I also changed LoadConfig, but that change doesn't affect correctness,
it's only so it looks neat by matching SaveConfig.
This bug was added in 18a4afb053, the
commit that introduced DefaultValue::Disabled. The bug can't actually be
triggered in master, but it can be triggered in the Android input
overhaul PR.
This very much isn't a build configuration that we're going to ship,
but I want to be able to tell people that they can build it on their
own if they really want to see how terribly it performs :)
Just like before, you'll need to edit two lines in app/build.gradle to
define ENABLE_GENERIC=ON and actually enable armeabi-v7a if you want an
armeabi-v7a build. This commit just fixes some compilations errors that
crop up if you do so.
This fixes a regression from 592ba31. When `a` was a constant 0 and `b`
was a non-constant 0x80000000, the 32-bit negation operation would
overflow, causing an incorrect result. The sign extension needs to happen
before the negation to avoid overflow.
Note that I can't merge the SXTW and NEG into one instruction.
NEG is an alias for SUB with the first operand being set to ZR,
but "SUB (extended register)" treats register 31 as SP instead of ZR.
I've also changed the order for the case where `a` is a constant
0xFFFFFFFF. I don't think the order actually affects correctness here,
but let's use the same order for all the cases since it makes the code
easier to reason about.
Previously we would only backpatch overflowed address calculations
if the overflow was 0x1000 or less. Now we can handle the full 2 GiB
of overflow in both directions.
I'm also making equivalent changes to JitArm64's code. This isn't because
it needs it – JitArm64 address calculations should never overflow – but
because I wanted to get rid of the 0x100001000 inherited from Jit64 that
makes even less sense for JitArm64 than for Jit64.
This avoids a pseudo infinite loop where CodeWidget::UpdateCallstack
would lock the CPU in order to read the call stack, causing the CPU to
call Host_UpdateDisasmDialog because it's transitioning from running to
pausing, causing Host::UpdateDisasmDialog to be emitted, causing
CodeWidget::Update to be called, once again causing
CodeWidget::UpdateCallstack to be called, repeating the cycle.
Dolphin didn't go completely unresponsive during this, because
Host_UpdateDisasmDialog schedules the emitting of Host::UpdateDisasmDialog
to happen on another thread without blocking, but it was stopping certain
operations like exiting emulation from working.
This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.
A little refactoring to cut down on the size of the very big
SettingsFragmentPresenter class.
I ended up adding a bunch of @NonNull annotations in various settings
classes so I could make the parameters `Settings` instead of `Settings?`
in the new Kotlin code.
See the comment added by this commit. We were previously guarding against
overshooting in address calculations, but not against undershooting.
Perhaps someone assumed that the displacement of an x86 loadstore was
treated as unsigned?
Note: While the comment says we can undershoot by up to 2 GiB, in
practice Jit64 as it currently behaves won't actually undershoot by more
than 0x8000 if my analysis is correct. But address space is cheap, so
let's guard the full 2 GiB.
Back when this was just the FPS setting, having it in the top level
of the graphics settings was reasonable. But now it's seven settings.
Let's add a new submenu for them.
Plus two miscellaneous debugger features that I found along the way when
reading Jit64's code for comparison: bJITNoBlockLinking and tracing.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13127.
Small optimization. By not calling WriteExit, the block linking system
never finds out about the exit we're doing, saving us from having to
disable block linking.
We should expose Enable Controller Input and the turbo settings for
GBA just like we do for GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes.
I just forgot about it when implementing the GBA TAS input window.
Previously, if a user on Windows launched Dolphin from the command line
and specified a path to an M3U file and included backslashes in this path,
Dolphin would fail to resolve relative paths in the M3U file.
The calculation of each address in lmw/stmw currently has a dependency
on the calculation of the previous address. By removing this dependency,
the host CPU should be able to pipeline the loads/stores better. The cost
we pay for this is up to one extra register and one extra MOV instruction
per guest instruction, but often nothing.
Making EmitBackpatchRoutine support using any register as the address
register would let us get rid of the MOV, but I consider that to be too
big of a task to do in one go at the same time as this.
Now that we've flipped the C++20 switch, let's start making use of
the nice new <bit> header.
I'm planning on handling this move away from BitUtils.h incrementally
in a series of PRs. There may be a few functions remaining in
BitUtils.h by the end that C++20 doesn't have any equivalents for.
This reverts commit 351d095fff.
In hindsight, my attempted optimization messes with the return
predictor, unlike real tail calls. So I think it does more bad than
good.
