The core and the headless tools no longer use mutexes, condition variables,
spinlocks, std::atomic, std::thread or volatile flags. Threads hand off through
libretro-common's retro_atomic and rthreads plus a few small pieces on top of
them in Common/Thread: Thread, MpscQueue, EventCounter, ParkingLot waits and
ReaderGate. Every wait blocks until it's woken; nothing polls on a timer.
State that only one thread touches just loses its lock. The PSP filesystem,
sceIo and the savedata dialog now belong to the emulation thread: async reads
and writes run when they're queued and complete later in emulated time, and
the IO and savedata threads are gone. The friend finder only talks to the
adhoc server and hands what it gets to the emulation thread. GPU init always
runs on the thread that starts the game.
The Vulkan render and compile queues, pipeline and render pass caches, delete
list and SPIR-V cache, the GL render queue, the software renderer's jit caches,
the file loader caches, the web debugger, UPnP, input, savestates, logging and
the GE debugger all hand off through queues and atomics. The IR jit's spinning
profiler thread goes.
A CPU thread with nothing to run now sleeps until work is queued instead of
spinning. Headless with --debugger waits for a client while stopped, and ends
the run once every client that connected has left. Web server shutdown keeps
servicing the CPU queue until the server has finished.
GetCurrentDrawAsDebugVertices (GE debugger vertex preview) sized its index scratch
buffer at a fixed 65536 and then ran both expanding steps into it: index generation
turns strips/fans into up to 3 indices per input index, and RunSoftwareTransform can
then expand points/lines/rects into 6 more each. A 30000-vertex triangle strip wrote
~90000 entries. Size the buffer from the count instead.
The Expand{Rectangles,Lines,Points} capacity checks were also off: they compared the
expansion against indsSize but write the expanded indices at inds + vertexCount, so
the input count has to be part of the sum.
ControlMapper::Axis wrote rawAxisValue_[axis.axisId] with no bounds check, one line
below an explicit check on axis.deviceId. axisId comes straight from the device -
Android reports AXIS_GENERIC_13..16 as 44..47, against a 44-entry array - so it wrote
into the neighbouring deviceTimestamps_. NativeAxis had the same unchecked write into
HLEPlugins::PluginDataAxis, where it goes out of the object entirely.
Rewind's LockedDecompress computed its copy-from-base block size as
base.size() - result.size() in size_t and truncated to int, so it went negative once
the output grew past the base, and insert() then ran with last < first. That happens
because a state can outlive the base it was compressed against: there are 20 states
but only 2 bases, rotated every 16 saves. Track a generation per base and refuse to
decode a state whose base is gone, and bound the block size against the base itself.
