* rollForward: "disable"
* [cpu] Implement SysV variadic float ABI (xmm0-7 capture, float returns, printf %f)
The import trampoline spilled only xmm0 and never reloaded a return xmm0. The
guest uses the System V AMD64 ABI: variadic float args pass in xmm0..xmm7 and
float/double returns come back in xmm0. As a result variadic float args past
the first were unavailable to HLE handlers, float returns never reached the
guest, and direct printf read %f/%e/%g from GP registers instead of XMM,
printing garbage and desynchronizing every following argument.
- Trampoline: spill xmm0..xmm7 into a 0x80-byte save area below the GP argpack
(r12 stays at the argpack base) and reload the return xmm0 in the epilogue.
- Gateway: read xmm0..7 from the save area into CpuContext and write the
handler's xmm0 back. XMM is caller-saved in SysV, so restoring xmm0 on return
is safe for non-float imports too.
- RegisterPrintfArgumentSource: read float args from xmm0..7 with independent
GP/FP counters and a shared stack-overflow cursor.
Every emitted byte was decoded; a unit test confirms float args read xmm0..7
(not GP) and interleaved "%d %f %d %f" stays synchronized. Build 0/0.
* [cpu] Document the scalar-only leaf-import constraint at its registration site
- IsLeafImport: spell out the no-XMM-args / no-XMM-return invariant the fast
path relies on and what breaks if it is violated; record the 2026-07-11 audit.
- Name every previously uncommented NID in the leaf list (mutex lock/unlock,
usleep, the Ampr/Apr command-buffer block, the unknown AGC packet NID).
- IsNoBlockLeafImport: document that it is a sub-filter of IsLeafImport and
that its five extra entries currently take the full gateway path; fix the
mislabeled K-jXhbt2gn4 comment (pthread_mutex_trylock, not
scePthreadMutexTrylock, which is upoVrzMHFeE).
- Point the DispatchImport call-site note at the audited list.
Comment-only change: the comment-stripped diff is empty and the solution
builds with 0 warnings / 0 errors.
Refactored parts of the time subsystem to improve POSIX/Orbis compliance and secure guest memory boundaries.
**1. POSIX `clock_gettime` updates:**
- Added `CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST` (10) and `CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST` (12) support for games using FreeBSD fast clock extensions.
- Fixed `NULL` pointer handling for `timespecAddress == 0`. It now returns `-1` with `EINVAL` (22) instead of `EFAULT` to match Orbis runtime behavior.
- Invalid `clock_id` values now properly fallback to `default` -> `-1` + `EINVAL`.
**2. Memory safety & monotonic tracking:**
- Replaced dual 8-byte scalar writes in both POSIX `clock_gettime` and Orbis `sceKernelClockGettime` with a single 16-byte write via `stackalloc byte[16]` and `BinaryPrimitives`. This prevents partial memory corruption at page boundaries.
- Bad non-NULL guest addresses now fail cleanly as `EFAULT` (POSIX) or `MEMORY_FAULT` (Orbis).
- Extracted core monotonic math into `GetProcessMonotonicTime()` in `KernelRuntimeCompatExports.cs` so both clock paths share the exact same `_processStartCounter` base.
**3. Host RDTSC optimization:**
- Fixed `CreateRdtscReader()` to copy stack-allocated opcode bytes into host `VirtualAlloc` memory via `unsafe { Buffer.MemoryCopy(...) }`. This completely gets rid of the redundant `.ToArray()` allocation on the hot path.
**Out of scope:** `sceKernelGettimeofday` / POSIX `gettimeofday` partial-write hardening; stricter clock validation in `sceKernelClockGettime`.
Read guest C strings in page-bounded chunks without heap allocations.
Return false when the buffer fills without a null terminator. Route exit
and _exit through RequestProcessExit.
* Pad: native DualSense support via raw HID
Read a real DualSense (or DualSense Edge) controller directly over
Win32 HID and feed its state into scePadRead/scePadReadState, replacing
the keyboard-only input path. No new dependencies.
- Device discovery by Sony VID/PID through setupapi/hid.dll, with
hot-plug: disconnects fall back to keyboard and reconnect
automatically
- USB input report 0x01 and Bluetooth extended report 0x31 (activated
via the feature report 0x05 handshake) are both parsed
- Full mapping to SCE_PAD_BUTTON conventions: face buttons, d-pad hat,
L1/R1/L2/R2 digital bits, analog triggers, L3/R3, Options, touchpad
click, both sticks
- Controller and keyboard input merge: buttons OR together, controller
sticks win past a small deadzone, triggers take the max
* Pad: rumble and lightbar output for DualSense
Wire scePadSetVibration, scePadSetLightBar and scePadResetLightBar to
real DualSense output reports. The output payload follows the same
layout as the Linux hid-playstation driver: both rumble motors,
lightbar RGB and the player LED indicator.
- USB uses output report 0x02; Bluetooth uses the 0x31 wrapper with a
sequence tag and CRC32 (0xA2-seeded) trailer, transport detected
from the first input report
- Output goes through a dedicated device handle so writes never
contend with the blocking input read loop
- On connect the controller gets a default state (blue lightbar,
player 1 LED); rumble state resets on disconnect
Verified on hardware over USB: lightbar color cycling and both motors.
Bluetooth output is implemented per spec but not yet hardware-tested.
* [agc] Add shader type 4 (GS) and register defaults v13 support
Astro Bot (#11) crashes on boot due to two missing GPU features:
1. Shader type 4 (Geometry Shader) — SPI_SHADER_PGM_LO/HI register
offsets 0x8A/0x8B were missing. Added constants and switch cases
for shader type 4 in GetExpectedSpiShaderPgmLo/Hi. Also added
type 4 to IsEsGeometryShaderType (2 or 4 or 6).
2. Register defaults version 13 — was not recognized as supported.
Added RegisterDefaultsVersion13 constant and included it in
IsSupportedRegisterDefaultsVersion.
* [kernel] Add POSIX pthread_cond_timedwait export
SILENT HILL (#4) and Poppy Playtime (#3) crash on boot due to
missing POSIX pthread_cond_timedwait (NID 27bAgiJmOh0).
The Sony wrapper scePthreadCondTimedwait (NID BmMjYxmew1w) was
already implemented, but the raw POSIX symbol was not exported.
Added [SysAbiExport] for pthread_cond_timedwait delegating to
existing PthreadCondWaitCore with timed: true.
* [memory] Fix FlushInstructionCache null process handle
PhysicalVirtualMemory.cs called FlushInstructionCache with null as the
process handle in two places (SetProtection and TryWriteExclusive).
On Windows, a null handle does not reliably resolve to the current
process — the correct call is GetCurrentProcess() (pseudo-handle -1).
Also corrected the P/Invoke signature:
- Changed return type from void to bool with [return: MarshalAs(Bool)]
- Added SetLastError = true
- Added GetCurrentProcess() P/Invoke import
This matches the pattern already used in DirectExecutionBackend.cs
which correctly passes GetCurrentProcess() to all FlushInstructionCache
calls.
* [hle] Distinguish NOT_FOUND from NOT_IMPLEMENTED and log duplicate NIDs
Three diagnostic improvements to the HLE dispatch path:
1. ModuleManager.RegisterFromAssembly — duplicate NID registration was
silently skipped (dispatchTable first-wins, exportTable last-wins,
causing metadata divergence). Now logs a warning with the NID and
export name so conflicts are visible.
2. ModuleManager.TryDispatch — generation mismatch returned
ORBIS_GEN2_ERROR_NOT_FOUND, conflating 'function does not exist'
with 'function exists but not for this generation'. Now returns
ORBIS_GEN2_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED for generation mismatch, matching
the existing convention in CpuDispatcher. Also adds debug logging
for both NOT_FOUND and NOT_IMPLEMENTED paths.
3. DirectExecutionBackend.Imports.cs — the import dispatch else-branch
(the actual hot path that bypasses ModuleManager.TyDispatch via
cached export) had the same conflation. Split into:
- else if (export exists but generation mismatch) → NOT_IMPLEMENTED
- else (no export at all) → NOT_FOUND
This makes runtime diagnostics correctly distinguish missing exports
from generation-unsupported exports.
* [cpu] Check VirtualProtect return values in all stub creation paths
9 VirtualProtect calls in DirectExecutionBackend.cs had unchecked
return values. If VirtualProtect silently fails, memory protection
remains incorrect — stubs allocated with PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE (0x40)
never get downgraded to PAGE_EXECUTE_READ (0x20), or guest thread
entry stubs never get upgraded to writable. This causes access
violations on next execution or silent data corruption.
Fixed all 9 sites with proper error handling:
- 6 stub creation methods (return 0 on failure + log error)
- 2 guest thread entry methods (set reason + return Exception)
- 1 guest entry method (set LastError + return MEMORY_FAULT)
Stub creation sites fixed:
- CreateImportDispatchStub (line ~1683)
- EnsureTlsHandler (void, log + return)
- CreateUnresolvedReturnStub (return 0)
- CreateGuestReturnStub (return 0)
- CreateExceptionHandlerTrampoline (return 0)
- CreateTlsStoreHelperStub (return 0)
Guest thread entry sites fixed:
- StartGuestThreadNativeCall (return Exception)
- StartGuestContinuationNativeCall (return Exception)
- RunGuestEntryPoint (return MEMORY_FAULT)
* [kernel] Remove unused duplicate _nextFileDescriptor field
KernelExports.cs declared _nextFileDescriptor but never used it.
The actual field used for file descriptor allocation lives in
KernelMemoryCompatExports.cs (lines 1314, 1337). This was a dead
duplicate causing CS0414 warning.
Build is now 0 errors, 0 warnings.
