Since the latest Android updates, which most users received in the form of August 2023 security patches, the Android runtime seems to rely on handling SIGSEGV via sigchain while performing JNI calls. We were hooking libc directly to inject our own signal handlers, so that they could run and restore the host TLS since the signal might have been generated in guest code. However, due to how we dispatched signals, the ART handlers were never called and the app crashed whenever a JNI call was made after installing our handlers.
This commit reworks signal handling to remove per-thread handlers. We now make a distinction between guest signals and host signals, and two new functions to set signal handlers have been introduced: `SetGuestSignalHandler` and `SetHostSignalHandler`. This greatly simplifies our signal handling code and allows us to get rid of some thread-local state.
Because of the above distinction, we install a "guest-safe" signal handler only when a guest signal is set. The guest-safe signal handler calls guest handlers only for guest signals, or falls back to the host handler if that's not the case.
Once a guest handler exists for a particular signal, we query libc sigaction as well as the sigchain-hooked sigaction and compare the results, and in case they differ we call sigchain's sigaction so that the host handler is correctly chained, ensuring no host handler can accidentally override the sigchain handler.
This commit reverts PR #2037. Passing `NativeSettings` to emulation code through a member reference, instead of a local variable, caused unpredictable crashes when using custom GPU drivers (v615+) on some Qualcomm SoCs.
The exact cause of the issue remains unknown, my best guess is that it was caused by an incorrect optimization performed on the Kotlin bytecode in release mode, which caused an issue when reading memory that had been forked, because of running emulation in a separate process.
Runtime settings modification will be reimplemented in the future via an alternative method.
Accessing the settings class during the execution of the `OnChangedCallback` results in a deadlock, as accesses to values are protected by a mutex. Instead, we now keep a local copy of the relevant settings and update those with the new value.
Some games rely on the vsync event to schedule frames, by matching its timing with presentation we can reduce needless waiting as the game will immediely be able to queue the next frame after presentation.
Prevents situations where nothing would otherwise be waiting on the GPU and since presentation no longer blocks too many images would be submitted for presentation.
Certain titles can have a display frames out of order due to not waiting on the copy from the final RT to the swapchain image to occur. Although `PresentFrame` does wait on the syncpoint, that isn't enough to ensure the source texture is up-to-date due to us signalling syncpoints early.
By waiting on the swapchain texture after the copy is submitted, we now implicitly wait on the source texture's cycle to be signalled thus waiting on the frame to be done which fixes the issue.
We want to avoid blocking on surface creation unless necessary, this commit doesn't wait on the creation of the surface as it default initializes the value which'll generally be `Identity` or the transformation of the previous surface if it was lost.

The V-Sync `KEvent` would be used by the presentation thread prior to construction leading to dereferencing an invalid value, this has been fixed by changing the order of construction to move the construction of the presentation thread after the V-Sync event.
The position at which we call submit is a significant factor in performance and we did so at the end of PBs (PushBuffers), this isn't optimal as there could be multiple PBs queued up that would benefit from being in the same submission. We now delay the submission of the workload till we run out of PBs.
The FPS is implicitly bound to the refresh rate due to the timestamp being that of the presentation time, this leads to a misleading FPS figure for disabled frame throttling. It has now been fixed by using the frame submission time rather than the presentation time when frame throttling is disabled and to make this more apparent the color of the OSD FPS has been changed.
`PresentationEngine` and `GraphicBufferProducer` methods that utilized textures for the surface utilized the `Texture` type rather than the `TextureView` type, this was never correct but at the time of authoring this code `TextureView` was not finalized and in a major flux which is why it was not utilized and `Texture` was utilized instead. Now that is is far more stable, it has been replaced with `TextureView`.
We want to block on the host thread during presentation while the host surface isn't present to implicitly pause the game, this can end up being fairly costly as it involves locking the `PresentationEngine` mutex which can lead to a lot of contention with the presentation thread. This fixes the issue by polling if there is a surface and only if there isn't then doing the wait as it isn't mandatory to wait always, we'll eventually run into the guest thread stalling.
We currently present all frames synchronously on the thread that calls into SurfaceFlinger functions, this is unoptimal as it doesn't match guest behavior which can lead to delaying the guest from working on the next frame. This commit queuing up frames to non-blocking and handles all waiting then presenting the frame on a dedicated thread.
We utilize `pthread_setname_np` to set the thread names but didn't check for any errors which resulted in the `Skyline-Choreographer` and `ChannelCmdFifo` not having proper names as they exceeded the 16 character limit on thread names for the pthread function. This has now been fixed by changing the names and introducing error checking to invocations of this function.
A `Setting` delegate class has been introduced, holding the raw value of the setting and adding support for registering callbacks to that setting. Callbacks will then be called when the value of that setting changes.
As a result of this, raw setting values have been made accessible through pointer dereference semantics.
Implements a cache for storing `VkFramebuffer` objects with a special path on devices with `VK_KHR_imageless_framebuffer` to allow for more cache hits due to an abstract image rather than a specific one.
Caching framebuffers is a fairly crucial optimization due to the cost of creating framebuffers on TBDRs since it involves calculating tiling memory allocations and in the case of Adreno's proprietary driver involves several kernel calls for mapping and allocating the corresponding framebuffer memory.
The responsibility for synchronizing a texture and locking it is now on the `PresentationEngine` rather than the API-user as this'll allow more fine grained locking and delay waiting until necessary.
B5G6R5 isn't generally supported by the swapchain and the format is used for R5G6B5 with swapped R/B channels to avoid aliasing so we reverse that by using R5G6B5 as the underlying Vulkan format for the swapchain which should be automatically handled by the driver for any copies from B5G6R5 textures and the data representation should be the same as B5G6R5 with swapped R/B channels so not reporting the correct texture::Format should be fine.
* Move Shared Font TTFs to AAsset storage + Support external shared font loading from `/data/data/skyline.emu/data/fonts`
* Fix bug in `IApplicationFunctions::PopLaunchParameter` caused by ignoring `LaunchParameterKind`
* Fix bug with Choreographer causing it to be awoken and exit prior to the destruction of `PresentationEngine`
* Fix bug with `IDirectory::Read` where it used `inputBuf` for the output buffer rather than `outputBuf`
* Improve `GetFunctionStackTrace` logs when `dli_sname` or `dli_fname` are missing
* Support more RT Formats
Support for subpasses was added by reworking attachment reuse code to account for preserved attachments and subpass dependencies. A lot of RT formats were also added to allow SMO to boot up entirely, it should be noted that it doesn't render anything.
`FenceCycle` had a cyclic dependency which broke clean exit, we now utilize `std::weak_ptr<FenceCycle>` inside the `Texture` object. A minor fix for broken stack traces was also made caused by supplying a `nullptr` C-string to libfmt when a symbol was unresolved which caused an `abort` due to invocation of `strlen` with it.
This commit implements a filter by type for any validation layer output, this allows filtering out any logs which may be unnecessary and additionally triggering a breakpoint as required.
An issue concerning the `NDEBUG` flag never being set was fixed, it's now supplied as a release compiler flag. The issue can manifest itself by always relying on a validation layer even though it shouldn't on release, this is why the validation layer was mistakenly disabled entirely previously by using `#ifndef` rather than `#ifdef`.
An issue with the initial layout of a texture being supplied as neither `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED` or `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED` was fixed, these cases are now handled by transitioning to those layouts after creating the image rather than supplying it within `initialLayout`.
Another issue was fixed regarding not maintaining a transformation after a surface has been destroyed and recreated existed and manifested itself when the user would go out of the app and come back in, they would see the surface having an identity transformation rather than the desired one.
Implement the groundwork for the texture manager to be able to report basic overlaps and be extended to support more in the future. The Maxwell3D registers `RenderTargetControl`, `RenderTarget` and a stub for `ClearBuffers` were implemented.
A lot of changes were also made to `GuestTexture`/`Texture` for supporting mipmapping and multiple array layers alongside significant architectural changes to `GuestTexture` effectively disconnecting it from `Texture` with it no longer being a parent rather an object that can be used to create a `Texture` object.
Note: Support for fragmented CPU mappings hasn't been added for texture synchronization yet
Utilize Boost Container's `small_vector` for optimizing allocations, fix certain implicit casting issues and make `ILogger` not output an additional newline in the log when the application supplies one at the end of the log
We used instantaneous values for FPS previously which led to a lot of variation in it and the inability to determine a proper FPS value due to constant fluctuations. All FPS values are now averaged to allow reading out a stable value and a deviation statistic has been added for the frame-time to judge judder and frame-pacing which allows for a significantly better measure of overall performance. The formatting for all the floating-point numbers is now fixed-point to prevent shifting of position due to decimal digits becoming 0.
