[PATCH v7 00/30] NT synchronization primitive driver
by Elizabeth Figura 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '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. This patch series is rebased against the "char-misc-next" branch of gregkh/char-misc.git. == 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 performance measurements described below are copied from earlier versions of the patch set. While some of the code has changed, I do not currently anticipate that it has changed drastically enough to affect those measurements. 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.

Clarification regarding clean room guidelines and headers / prototypes
by Fabian Maurer 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Hello, Not sure who, apart from Alexandre, could help here, but I wanted to ask for some clarification on the clean room guidelines (https://gitlab.winehq.org/ wine/wine/-/wikis/Clean-Room-Guidelines) Let's say we want to add a few new COM classes / interfaces from WinRT for some program. What is the official way to get those header definitions? Copy paste from the official SDK? Or worse, there is some windows adjacent dlls that only contain typelibs - can we decompile those typelibs to get the COM interface definitions? Or how about undocumented functions that are documented by third parties? ROS is off limits, all others as well? There are for example C# projects that provide P/Invoke definitions of otherwise undocumented functions. I think it would be helpful for the wiki to be updated with a bit of clarification. Thanks in advance, Regards, Fabian Maurer

Photoshop 2023 flink
by zhengxianwei 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Hello, I am trying to run Photoshop 23 using the DLL generated by VKD3D-Proton. I noticed that after opening an image, dragging it causes display issues. Here’s a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgWrsFx4GrM (Because I have not been using the successful obs recording, so I switched to recording with my cell phone, the result is worse, sorry!) When I capture frames with RenderDoc, the images appear normal. I suspect the issue might be related to the desktop gui composition process, but I’m unsure how to analyze such problems. Do you have any suggestions? Software information Photoshop23 System information - GPU: GTX 1070ti - Driver: 535.183.01 - Wine version: 9.2 (latest, not proton-wine) - VKD3D-Proton version: (latest)

Makes sense. [I figured that the BROKEN was just there to prevent anyone from trying to use a half-finished driver, and the point of committing a half-finished driver was just to reduce the number of patches that needed to be resent.] I'll make these changes and resend. > > * rename NTSYNC_IOC_SEM_POST to NTSYNC_IOC_SEM_RELEASE (matching the NT > > terminology instead of POSIX), > > No objections my me on either name. > > > * change object creation ioctls to return the fds directly in the return value > > instead of through the args struct.

Ah, that makes sense to me, thanks.
