15 Jun '24

Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: https://www.winehq.org/download Summary since last release * Rebased to current wine 9.11 (428 patches are applied to wine vanilla) Upstreamed (Either directly from staging or fixed with a similar patch). * include: Add windows.networking.connectivity.idl Removed (No longer required). * None Added: * [7955] oledb32: Mode can have multiple values as a string * [56786] odbccp32: Correct lookup of DSN before writing to registry. Updated: * vkd3d-latest * shell32-IconCache * odbc-remove-unixodbc The odbc patchset had a major update to support ODBC v2.0 drivers. This allows ODBC 3.0 functions to use fallback functions when the native driver only supports ODBC 2.0 functions.

How to add ICU support?
by Thomas Bleher 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get the current version of Logos (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=771) running on Wine. One of the (many) problems is that newer versions of the app use the icu libraries that are part of newer versions of Windows (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/international-componen… ). As far as I could gather, the source code for the icu libraries as shipped with Windows is at https://github.com/microsoft/icu (see especially https://github.com/microsoft/icu/tree/master/icu-patches/patches for the patches that are applied relative to the upstream icu library). What would be the best way to add ICU support to Wine? Best regards, Thomas

Implementing NtGetSystemInformation(SystemProcessorIdleInformation)
by Niko Patterson 31 May '24

31 May '24

Hello, for the past couple of days I've been trying to get a program to run under wine, everything seems to function correctly except for a CPU stats window that errors every time it updates. After a few hours of debugging I traced it to NtGetSystemInformation and have been trying to write patches for wine to implement it. My only issue is that the program only uses certain parts of the output, and I'm not sure how to put together the structure for it, should I just name the unknown fields "ReservedX"? I'm also not 100% sure where to put the structure afterwards, since it doesn't seem to show up anywhere in MSDN (I may be using the wrong name, I assumed the structure name is just the enum name in title case like the ones that are documented). I apologize if I sent this to the wrong list, this is my first time contributing to wine and I'm still trying to figure things out. ~Niko

Missing macro in commctrl.h
by Michael Dluhosch 31 May '24

Hi, is there a reason why this macro https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/commctrl/nf-commctrl-tr… is not defined in the wine version of commctrl.h? I currently try to compile windows sources with winegcc which need this macro. Kind Regards Michael

Proposal: changing the default bug status (from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'NEW')
by Austin English 22 May '24

22 May '24

Howdy all, Currently, unprivileged users have their bugs set to 'UNCONFIRMED' by default (while privileged users have the option of 'UNCONFIRMED'/'NEW'/'ASSIGNED'). As a general rule, no one seems to care if a bug is confirmed ('NEW') or not. This often leads to confusion for users (for example recently, [1]), who think that because their bug is 'UNCONFIRMED', it won't get attention. Because this distinction is useless, I'd like to propose that we make a few changes to Bugzilla: * change the default status for newly submitted bugs to 'NEW' (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editworkflow.cgi) * do a bulk status update of existing bugs from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'NEW' * disable the 'UNCONFIRMED' status (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editproducts.cgi?action=edit&product=Wine) Thoughts/concerns?

It's what I'm trying to define there, a single bit of state that's either contended or not. It acts broadly like an eventfd, in that you can wake (write) or wait (read), but without the distinction of having different nonzero values in the internal counter. You could also think of it as a semaphore with a maximum count of one. However, unlike a semaphore it also supports the "pulse" operation, and you can also have "manual-reset" events that *don't* change state when you wait on them (no equivalent for regular semaphores). > > Unless specified otherwise, all operations on an object are atomic and > > totally ordered with respect to other operations on the same object. > > > > Objects are represented by files.

I think that would have been fine, and I could still change it accordingly. The reason I didn't do that was that [1] advises against it (although I don't know why).

No, NT calls it "release" (and the operation on a mutex is also "release" rather than "unlock".) I called it "post" after POSIX semaphores, on the idea that it'd be more familiar to a Unix developer (and shorter). I see I was wrong, so I'll rename it to "release". > > NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_UNLOCK > > > > Release a mutex object.

Supposedly their kernel is even coded such that if a waiting thread gets hit by an interrupt that the pulse will go unnoticed, although I've tried to reproduce this in practice and been unsuccessful. But of course it's terrible regardless, because you never know if your thread is waiting or not. In practice it seems to usually be used on a timer, though, so that part doesn't matter as much. > > NTSYNC_IOC_READ_SEM > > > > Read the current state of a semaphore object.

I have no idea what it's intended for. Actually it's not even exposed as a documented API, only an undocumented one.

Seems like a waste to have them. Yes, mostly so I could reuse the existing structures. On the other hand if there's no reason not to return fds from the create ioctls, then we could just remove those members. > > NTSYNC_IOC_KILL_OWNER > > > > Mark a mutex as unowned and abandoned if it is owned by the given > > owner.

Again the advice about "only return zero from an ioctl", too.

There's no documented guarantee in either case, but when testing in controlled well-ordered environments, NtWaitForMultipleObjects() always acquires the lowest index first, and I think wakes are FIFO. I'm not really sure why I specified the guarantee for the former but not the latter. > > The "alert" argument is an "extra" event which can terminate the > > wait, independently of all other objects.

This almost seems to imply that at > [A] above we can indeed guarantee the lowest indexed object is acquired > first. It's definitely legal in NT to pass the same object more than once (in wait-for-any, not wait-for-all though), and it's definitely the case that (at least in controlled well-ordered environments) the lowest index is acquired first. I don't know of any application that definitely depends on either of these, and they're not documented behaviours, but Wine has implemented those behaviours and it would make me nervous to break them here. The part about passing the same event in "alert" and "objs" is not part of NT exactly (in NT the "alert" isn't even an event; it's a special bit of thread state; we just use an event for simplicity). I think I specified it just to avoid coding an extra check (since it should Just Work), while also making it clear that case was considered. > > The function may fail with EINTR if a signal is received. > > In which case @index must be disregarded since nothing will be acquired, > right? > > So far nothing really weird, and I'm thinking futexes should be able to > do all this, no? Even disregarding wait-for-all, futexes aren't really good enough. Wait operations need to consume state, and while we could put that state in user space (and in fact we *do* have an out of tree patch set that kind of does this) that requires all that state to be shared across processes, which is a problem since we want processes to be isolated unless they explicitly share objects with each other. There's not a scalable way to achieve this, especially since you can share objects lazily. You also cannot do NtPulseEvent() this way. The aforementioned patch set badly emulates it and it does in practice break any application that uses it. Similarly there are some applications that do a weird "fake pulse" where they set and then immediately reset an event from the same thread, and expect that to always wake.

Does /dev/ntsync exist (module is loaded) and have nonzero permissions? I forgot to mention that's necessary, sorry. Otherwise I can try to look at an strace, or a Wine debug log. I don't think there's an easy way to get the latter with Lutris, but something like `WINEDEBUG=+all ./wine winecfg 2>log` should work.

Re: Fwd: Bumping the minimum supported macOS version
by Tim Clem 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

I would prefer 10.15 in particular so we could drop support for native (i.e. macho) 32-bit binaries. That would allow us to use modern Obj-C runtime features (e.g. auto-synthesis) and eventually consider ARC. It's also worth noting that winehq's gitlab CI runs 10.15.

Upcoming vkd3d 1.12 release
by Henri Verbeet 24 Apr '24

24 Apr '24

Hi all, The planned release date for vkd3d 1.12 is May 28. The development branch will become increasingly frozen as we're nearing that date, starting with a freeze of the public API after April 30. Features will be frozen after May 14. If you're an upstream vkd3d developer, please do the following: - Keep an eye on Bugzilla for any reported regressions. - Review any API changes since the previous release. - Verify all the vkd3d tests pass on your hardware, and please send fixes if they don't. - Review and improve the documentation. - Apply your best judgment about which patches are appropriate for the current stage of the release process. If you're a downstream user of vkd3d, please test your applications for regressions, and file bug reports if you find any. If you're the maintainer of a Wine module that (indirectly) depends on vkd3d, like e.g. d2d1, d3dx9, d3dcompiler, or any of the core Direct3D modules, that includes making sure the unit tests still pass with the new version. The planned release date for vkd3d 1.13 is August 29. Regards, Henri

Mailing list traffic
by Francois Gouget 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

With GitLab and the spinning off of commit messages to wine-gitlab I think the traffic estimates on the mailing list page need to be updated... at least for wine-devel: it no longer has 50 messages per day. https://www.winehq.org/forums (unfortunately there is no unit on the little per mailing-list graph) -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Theory is where you know everything but nothing works. Practice is where everything works but nobody knows why. Sometimes they go hand in hand: nothing works and nobody knows why.

Ach. I wrote this with the idea that the race isn't meaningful, but looking at it again you're right—there is a harmful race here. I think it should be fixable by moving the atomic_read inside the lock, though.

Re: [PATCH v4 00/30] NT synchronization primitive driver

I'm more of a text editor kinda guy -- > being a programmer and all that. I can certainly sympathize with that ;-) Here's a (slightly ad-hoc) simplification of the patch into text form inlined into this message; hopefully it's readable enough. =================================== NT synchronization primitive driver =================================== This page documents the user-space API for the ntsync driver. ntsync is a support driver for emulation of NT synchronization primitives by user-space NT emulators. It exists because implementation in user-space, using existing tools, cannot match Windows performance while offering accurate semantics. It is implemented entirely in software, and does not drive any hardware device. This interface is meant as a compatibility tool only, and should not be used for general synchronization. Instead use generic, versatile interfaces such as futex(2) and poll(2). Synchronization primitives ========================== The ntsync driver exposes three types of synchronization primitives: semaphores, mutexes, and events. A semaphore holds a single volatile 32-bit counter, and a static 32-bit integer denoting the maximum value. It is considered signaled when the counter is nonzero. The counter is decremented by one when a wait is satisfied. Both the initial and maximum count are established when the semaphore is created. A mutex holds a volatile 32-bit recursion count, and a volatile 32-bit identifier denoting its owner. A mutex is considered signaled when its owner is zero (indicating that it is not owned). The recursion count is incremented when a wait is satisfied, and ownership is set to the given identifier. A mutex also holds an internal flag denoting whether its previous owner has died; such a mutex is said to be abandoned. Owner death is not tracked automatically based on thread death, but rather must be communicated using NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_KILL. An abandoned mutex is inherently considered unowned. Except for the "unowned" semantics of zero, the actual value of the owner identifier is not interpreted by the ntsync driver at all. The intended use is to store a thread identifier; however, the ntsync driver does not actually validate that a calling thread provides consistent or unique identifiers. An event holds a volatile boolean state denoting whether it is signaled or not. There are two types of events, auto-reset and manual-reset. An auto-reset event is designaled when a wait is satisfied; a manual-reset event is not. The event type is specified when the event is created. Unless specified otherwise, all operations on an object are atomic and totally ordered with respect to other operations on the same object. Objects are represented by files. When all file descriptors to an object are closed, that object is deleted. Char device =========== The ntsync driver creates a single char device /dev/ntsync. Each file description opened on the device represents a unique instance intended to back an individual NT virtual machine. Objects created by one ntsync instance may only be used with other objects created by the same instance. ioctl reference =============== All operations on the device are done through ioctls. There are four structures used in ioctl calls:: struct ntsync_sem_args { __u32 sem; __u32 count; __u32 max; }; struct ntsync_mutex_args { __u32 mutex; __u32 owner; __u32 count; }; struct ntsync_event_args { __u32 event; __u32 signaled; __u32 manual; }; struct ntsync_wait_args { __u64 timeout; __u64 objs; __u32 count; __u32 owner; __u32 index; __u32 alert; __u32 flags; __u32 pad; }; Depending on the ioctl, members of the structure may be used as input, output, or not at all. All ioctls return 0 on success. The ioctls on the device file are as follows: .. NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_SEM Create a semaphore object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_sem_args, which is used as follows: * sem: On output, contains a file descriptor to the created semaphore. * count: Initial count of the semaphore. * max: Maximum count of the semaphore. Fails with EINVAL if `count` is greater than `max`. .. NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_MUTEX Create a mutex object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_mutex_args, which is used as follows: * mutex: On output, contains a file descriptor to the created mutex. * count: Initial recursion count of the mutex. * owner: Initial owner of the mutex. If ``owner`` is nonzero and ``count`` is zero, or if ``owner`` is zero and ``count`` is nonzero, the function fails with EINVAL. .. NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_EVENT Create an event object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_event_args, which is used as follows: * event: On output, contains a file descriptor to the created event. * signaled: If nonzero, the event is initially signaled, otherwise nonsignaled. * manual: If nonzero, the event is a manual-reset event, otherwise auto-reset. The ioctls on the individual objects are as follows: .. NTSYNC_IOC_SEM_POST Post to a semaphore object. Takes a pointer to a 32-bit integer, which on input holds the count to be added to the semaphore, and on output contains its previous count. If adding to the semaphore's current count would raise the latter past the semaphore's maximum count, the ioctl fails with EOVERFLOW and the semaphore is not affected. If raising the semaphore's count causes it to become signaled, eligible threads waiting on this semaphore will be woken and the semaphore's count decremented appropriately. .. NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_UNLOCK Release a mutex object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_mutex_args, which is used as follows: * mutex: Ignored. * owner: Specifies the owner trying to release this mutex. * count: On output, contains the previous recursion count. If ``owner`` is zero, the ioctl fails with EINVAL. If ``owner`` is not the current owner of the mutex, the ioctl fails with EPERM. The mutex's count will be decremented by one. If decrementing the mutex's count causes it to become zero, the mutex is marked as unowned and signaled, and eligible threads waiting on it will be woken as appropriate. .. NTSYNC_IOC_SET_EVENT Signal an event object. Takes a pointer to a 32-bit integer, which on output contains the previous state of the event. Eligible threads will be woken, and auto-reset events will be designaled appropriately. .. NTSYNC_IOC_RESET_EVENT Designal an event object. Takes a pointer to a 32-bit integer, which on output contains the previous state of the event. .. NTSYNC_IOC_PULSE_EVENT Wake threads waiting on an event object while leaving it in an unsignaled state. Takes a pointer to a 32-bit integer, which on output contains the previous state of the event. A pulse operation can be thought of as a set followed by a reset, performed as a single atomic operation. If two threads are waiting on an auto-reset event which is pulsed, only one will be woken. If two threads are waiting a manual-reset event which is pulsed, both will be woken. However, in both cases, the event will be unsignaled afterwards, and a simultaneous read operation will always report the event as unsignaled. .. NTSYNC_IOC_READ_SEM Read the current state of a semaphore object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_sem_args, which is used as follows: * sem: Ignored. * count: On output, contains the current count of the semaphore. * max: On output, contains the maximum count of the semaphore. .. NTSYNC_IOC_READ_MUTEX Read the current state of a mutex object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_mutex_args, which is used as follows: * mutex: Ignored. * owner: On output, contains the current owner of the mutex, or zero if the mutex is not currently owned. * count: On output, contains the current recursion count of the mutex. If the mutex is marked as abandoned, the function fails with EOWNERDEAD. In this case, ``count`` and ``owner`` are set to zero. .. NTSYNC_IOC_READ_EVENT Read the current state of an event object. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_event_args, which is used as follows: * event: Ignored. * signaled: On output, contains the current state of the event. * manual: On output, contains 1 if the event is a manual-reset event, and 0 otherwise. .. NTSYNC_IOC_KILL_OWNER Mark a mutex as unowned and abandoned if it is owned by the given owner. Takes an input-only pointer to a 32-bit integer denoting the owner. If the owner is zero, the ioctl fails with EINVAL. If the owner does not own the mutex, the function fails with EPERM. Eligible threads waiting on the mutex will be woken as appropriate (and such waits will fail with EOWNERDEAD, as described below). .. NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY Poll on any of a list of objects, atomically acquiring at most one. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_wait_args, which is used as follows: * timeout: Absolute timeout in nanoseconds. If NTSYNC_WAIT_REALTIME is set, the timeout is measured against the REALTIME clock; otherwise it is measured against the MONOTONIC clock. If the timeout is equal to or earlier than the current time, the function returns immediately without sleeping. If ``timeout`` is U64_MAX, the function will sleep until an object is signaled, and will not fail with ETIMEDOUT. * objs: Pointer to an array of ``count`` file descriptors (specified as an integer so that the structure has the same size regardless of architecture). If any object is invalid, the function fails with EINVAL. * count: Number of objects specified in the ``objs`` array. If greater than NTSYNC_MAX_WAIT_COUNT, the function fails with EINVAL. * owner: Mutex owner identifier. If any object in ``objs`` is a mutex, the ioctl will attempt to acquire that mutex on behalf of ``owner``. If ``owner`` is zero, the ioctl fails with EINVAL. * index: On success, contains the index (into ``objs``) of the object which was signaled. If ``alert`` was signaled instead, this contains ``count``. * alert: Optional event object file descriptor. If nonzero, this specifies an "alert" event object which, if signaled, will terminate the wait. If nonzero, the identifier must point to a valid event. * flags: Zero or more flags. Currently the only flag is NTSYNC_WAIT_REALTIME, which causes the timeout to be measured against the REALTIME clock instead of MONOTONIC. * pad: Unused, must be set to zero. This function attempts to acquire one of the given objects. If unable to do so, it sleeps until an object becomes signaled, subsequently acquiring it, or the timeout expires. In the latter case the ioctl fails with ETIMEDOUT. The function only acquires one object, even if multiple objects are signaled. A semaphore is considered to be signaled if its count is nonzero, and is acquired by decrementing its count by one. A mutex is considered to be signaled if it is unowned or if its owner matches the ``owner`` argument, and is acquired by incrementing its recursion count by one and setting its owner to the ``owner`` argument. An auto-reset event is acquired by designaling it; a manual-reset event is not affected by acquisition. Acquisition is atomic and totally ordered with respect to other operations on the same object. If two wait operations (with different ``owner`` identifiers) are queued on the same mutex, only one is signaled. If two wait operations are queued on the same semaphore, and a value of one is posted to it, only one is signaled. The order in which threads are signaled is not specified. If an abandoned mutex is acquired, the ioctl fails with EOWNERDEAD. Although this is a failure return, the function may otherwise be considered successful. The mutex is marked as owned by the given owner (with a recursion count of 1) and as no longer abandoned, and ``index`` is still set to the index of the mutex. The ``alert`` argument is an "extra" event which can terminate the wait, independently of all other objects. If members of ``objs`` and ``alert`` are both simultaneously signaled, a member of ``objs`` will always be given priority and acquired first. It is valid to pass the same object more than once, including by passing the same event in the ``objs`` array and in ``alert``. If a wakeup occurs due to that object being signaled, ``index`` is set to the lowest index corresponding to that object. The function may fail with EINTR if a signal is received. .. NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL Poll on a list of objects, atomically acquiring all of them. Takes a pointer to struct ntsync_wait_args, which is used identically to NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY, except that ``index`` is always filled with zero on success if not woken via alert. This function attempts to simultaneously acquire all of the given objects. If unable to do so, it sleeps until all objects become simultaneously signaled, subsequently acquiring them, or the timeout expires. In the latter case the ioctl fails with ETIMEDOUT and no objects are modified. Objects may become signaled and subsequently designaled (through acquisition by other threads) while this thread is sleeping. Only once all objects are simultaneously signaled does the ioctl acquire them and return. The entire acquisition is atomic and totally ordered with respect to other operations on any of the given objects. If an abandoned mutex is acquired, the ioctl fails with EOWNERDEAD. Similarly to NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY, all objects are nevertheless marked as acquired. Note that if multiple mutex objects are specified, there is no way to know which were marked as abandoned. As with "any" waits, the ``alert`` argument is an "extra" event which can terminate the wait. Critically, however, an "all" wait will succeed if all members in ``objs`` are signaled, *or* if ``alert`` is signaled. In the latter case ``index`` will be set to ``count``. As with "any" waits, if both conditions are filled, the former takes priority, and objects in ``objs`` will be acquired. Unlike NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY, it is not valid to pass the same object more than once, nor is it valid to pass the same object in ``objs`` and in ``alert``. If this is attempted, the function fails with EINVAL.

Is the concern about poor performance when ntsync is in use, or is nesting a lot of spinlocks like that something that could cause problems for unrelated tasks? I'm not familiar enough with the scheduler to know if this can be abused. I think we don't care about performance problems within Wine, at least. FWIW, the scheme here is actually similar to what Windows does (as described by one of their kernel engineers), although slightly different. NT nests spinlocks as well, but instead of using the outer lock like our "wait_all_lock" to prevent lock inversion, they instead sort the inner locks (by address, I assume). If there's deeper problems... I can look into (ab)using a rwlock for this purpose, at least for now. In any case making wait_all_lock into a sleeping mutex instead of a spinlock should be fine. I'll rerun performance tests but I don't expect it to cause any problems.

The point of having the other lock around is that try_wake_all() needs to lock multiple objects at the same time. It's a way of avoiding lock inversion. Consider task A does a wait-for-all on objects X, Y, Z. Then task B signals Y, so we do try_wake_all_obj() on Y, which does try_wake_all() on A's queue entry; that needs to check X and Z and consume the state of all three objects atomically. Another task could be trying to signal Z at the same time and could hit a task waiting on Z, Y, X, and that causes inversion. The simple and easy way to implement everything is just to have a global lock on the whole device, but this is kind of known to be a performance bottleneck (this was NT's BKL, and they ditched it starting with Vista or 7 or something). Instead we use a lock per object, and normally in the wait-for-any case we only ever need to grab one lock at a time, but when we need to do a wait-for- all we need to lock multiple objects at once, and we grab the outer lock to avoid potential lock inversion. > Where I seem to note that both those functions do that same list > iteration. Over different lists. I don't know if there's a better way to name things to make that clearer. There's the "any" wait queue, which tasks which do a wait-for-any add themselves to, and the "all" wait queue, which tasks that do a wait-for-all add themselves to. Signaling an object could potentially wake up either one, but checking whether a task is eligible is a different process.

[PATCH v4 00/30] NT synchronization primitive driver
by Elizabeth Figura 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

This patch series implements a new char misc driver, /dev/ntsync, which is used to implement Windows NT synchronization primitives. NT synchronization primitives are unique in that the wait functions both are vectored, operate on multiple types of object with different behaviour (mutex, semaphore, event), and affect the state of the objects they wait on. This model is not compatible with existing kernel synchronization objects or interfaces, and therefore the ntsync driver implements its own wait queues and locking. Hence I would like to request review from someone familiar with locking to make sure that the usage of low-level kernel primitives is correct and that the wait queues work as intended, and to that end I've CC'd the locking maintainers. == Background == The Wine project emulates the Windows API in user space. One particular part of that API, namely the NT synchronization primitives, have historically been implemented via RPC to a dedicated "kernel" process. However, more recent applications use these APIs more strenuously, and the overhead of RPC has become a bottleneck. The NT synchronization APIs are too complex to implement on top of existing primitives without sacrificing correctness. Certain operations, such as NtPulseEvent() or the "wait-for-all" mode of NtWaitForMultipleObjects(), require direct control over the underlying wait queue, and implementing a wait queue sufficiently robust for Wine in user space is not possible. This proposed driver, therefore, implements the problematic interfaces directly in the Linux kernel. This driver was presented at Linux Plumbers Conference 2023. For those further interested in the history of synchronization in Wine and past attempts to solve this problem in user space, a recording of the presentation can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjU4nyWyhU8 == Performance == The gain in performance varies wildly depending on the application in question and the user's hardware. For some games NT synchronization is not a bottleneck and no change can be observed, but for others frame rate improvements of 50 to 150 percent are not atypical. The following table lists frame rate measurements from a variety of games on a variety of hardware, taken by users Dmitry Skvortsov, FuzzyQuils, OnMars, and myself: Game Upstream ntsync improvement =========================================================================== Anger Foot 69 99 43% Call of Juarez 99.8 224.1 125% Dirt 3 110.6 860.7 678% Forza Horizon 5 108 160 48% Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris 141 326 131% Metro 2033 164.4 199.2 21% Resident Evil 2 26 77 196% The Crew 26 51 96% Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 130 360 177% Total War Saga: Troy 109 146 34% =========================================================================== == Patches == The intended semantics of the patches are broadly intended to match those of the corresponding Windows functions. For those not already familiar with the Windows functions (or their undocumented behaviour), patch 27/27 provides a detailed specification, and individual patches also include a brief description of the API they are implementing. The patches making use of this driver in Wine can be retrieved or browsed here: https://repo.or.cz/wine/zf.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ntsync5 == Implementation == Some aspects of the implementation may deserve particular comment: * In the interest of performance, each object is governed only by a single spinlock. However, NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL requires that the state of multiple objects be changed as a single atomic operation. In order to achieve this, we first take a device-wide lock ("wait_all_lock") any time we are going to lock more than one object at a time. The maximum number of objects that can be used in a vectored wait, and therefore the maximum that can be locked simultaneously, is 64. This number is NT's own limit. The acquisition of multiple spinlocks will degrade performance. This is a conscious choice, however. Wait-for-all is known to be a very rare operation in practice, especially with counts that approach the maximum, and it is the intent of the ntsync driver to optimize wait-for-any at the expense of wait-for-all as much as possible. * NT mutexes are tied to their threads on an OS level, and the kernel includes builtin support for "robust" mutexes. In order to keep the ntsync driver self-contained and avoid touching more code than necessary, it does not hook into task exit nor use pids. Instead, the user space emulator is expected to manage thread IDs and pass them as an argument to any relevant functions; this is the "owner" field of ntsync_wait_args and ntsync_mutex_args. When the emulator detects that a thread dies, it should therefore call NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_KILL on any open mutexes. * ntsync is module-capable mostly because there was nothing preventing it, and because it aided development. It is not a hard requirement, though. == Previous versions == Changes from v3: * Add .gitignore and use KHDR_INCLUDES in selftest build files, per Muhammad Usama Anjum. * Try to explain why we are rolling our own primitives a little better, per Greg Kroah-Hartman. * Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240329000621.148791-1-zfigura@codeweavers.co… * Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240219223833.95710-1-zfigura@codeweavers.com/ * Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240214233645.9273-1-zfigura@codeweavers.com/ * Link to RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240131021356.10322-1-zfigura@codeweavers.com/ * Link to RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240124004028.16826-1-zfigura@codeweavers.com/ Elizabeth Figura (27): ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_MUTEX. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_UNLOCK. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_KILL. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_EVENT. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_EVENT_SET. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_EVENT_RESET. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_EVENT_PULSE. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_SEM_READ. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_READ. ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_EVENT_READ. ntsync: Introduce alertable waits. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for semaphore state. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for mutex state. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for wakeup signaling with WINESYNC_IOC_WAIT_ANY. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for wakeup signaling with WINESYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for manual-reset event state. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for auto-reset event state. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for wakeup signaling with events. selftests: ntsync: Add tests for alertable waits. selftests: ntsync: Add some tests for wakeup signaling via alerts. selftests: ntsync: Add a stress test for contended waits. maintainers: Add an entry for ntsync. docs: ntsync: Add documentation for the ntsync uAPI.

Striking the right balance of explaining the problem space without inundating the reader with information has been tricky; I'll do my best to try to explain here. The primitives include mutexes and semaphores, like our internal locks. I don't really want to compare them to futexes because futexes don't have internal state. However NT's primitives are *way* more complicated. The big part of it is they consume state in a way that usual wait functions don't, and as if that weren't enough, you can do operations with them like wait-for-all (wait for all objects to be simultaneously signaled and atomically consume them) or pulse (signal an object without changing its state). None of this can be expressed with poll or futex. You can't even express those operations with wait_event() etc. We really need to replace the entire wait queue and use schedule() + wake_up_process() directly. ntsync_q is the wait queue struct in this. They're also really ugly things to do; they only exist for compatibility reasons, and retrofitting support into anything would complicate and slow down hot paths. > > A timeout is supported.

In short, waiting is a destructive operation; it changes the state of the primitives waited on. If a waiter is woken successfully then it must have consumed the state of exactly one object. Therefore, if task A is waiting on two primitives X and Y, and those primitives are respectively woken at the same time by tasks B and C, we need a way to ensure that B and C don't both wake A and consume the state of X and Y. Only one of them should win. We could do that with a lock on the ntsync_q struct, but having a single variable with atomic-test-and-set achieves the same thing while being lock-free. > > + > > + __u32 count; > > + struct ntsync_q_entry entries[]; > > }; > > > > struct ntsync_device { > > struct file *file; > > }; > > > > +static void try_wake_any_sem(struct ntsync_obj *sem) > > +{ > > + struct ntsync_q_entry *entry; > > + > > + lockdep_assert_held(&sem->lock); > > + > > + list_for_each_entry(entry, &sem->any_waiters, node) { > > + struct ntsync_q *q = entry->q; > > + int signaled = -1; > > + > > + if (!sem->u.sem.count) > > + break; > > + > > + if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(&q->signaled, &signaled, entry->index)) { > > + sem->u.sem.count--; > > + wake_up_process(q->task); > > + } > > You are waking up _all_ "locks" that with the atomic_try_cmpxchg() call, > right?

Bumping the minimum supported macOS version
by Tim Clem 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Hello everyone-- I'm proposing raising the official minimum supported macOS version to Catalina, 10.15. According to the wiki (https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOS), we theoretically support 10.8. Does anyone object? Thanks! --Tim
