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.
Three things still touched CPU-thread-owned state from the WebSocket thread:
- Breakpoint conditions were compiled in Parse(), and resolving symbols in an
expression goes through g_symbolMap, which is destroyed on shutdown. Compiled
inside the queued callback now, before anything is mutated, so a bad
expression still fails without leaving a breakpoint behind.
- gpu.record.dump dereferenced the gpu pointer, which is created and destroyed
on the CPU thread.
- gpu.stats.feed bumped PSP_ForceDebugStats' plain counter.
Also makes g_bootState atomic - it's read as a fast-fail from the debugger
thread all over while the CPU and loader threads move it along.
