Manually encoding and decoding logical immediates is error-prone.
Using ORRI2R and friends lets us avoid doing the work manually,
but in exchange, there is a runtime performance penalty. It's
probably rather small, but still, it would be nice if we could
let the compiler do the work at compile-time. And that's exactly
what this commit does, so now I have no excuse for trying to
manually write logical immediates anymore.
Public domain does not have an internationally agreed upon definition,
As such it's generally preferred to use an extremely liberal license,
which can explicitly list the rights granted by the copyright holder.
The CC0 license is the usual choice here.
This "relicensing" is done without hunting down copyright holders, since
it is presumed that their release of this work into the public domain
authorizes us to redistribute this code under any other license of our
choosing.
This code was part of Dolphin's relicensing from v2 to v2+ a while back,
we just never updated these copyright headers. I double-checked that
segher gave us permission to relicense this code to v2+ on 2015-05-16.
SPDX standardizes how source code conveys its copyright and licensing
information. See https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/1-rationale/ . SPDX
tags are adopted in many large projects, including things like the Linux
kernel.
Without this, the code added in ac28b89 misbehaves and considers
AArch64 netplay clients to not have hardware FMA support, telling
all clients to disable FMA support, which causes a desync between
x64 and AArch64 due to JitArm64 not being able to disable FMA support.
Not doing this can cause desyncs when TASing. (I don't know
how common such desyncs would be, though. For games that
don't change rounding modes, they shouldn't be a problem.)
When I added the software FMA path in 2c38d64 and made us use
it when determinism is enabled, I was assuming that either the
performance impact of software FMA wouldn't be too large or CPUs
that were too old to have FMA instructions were too slow to run
Dolphin well anyway. This was wrong. To give an example, the
netplay performance went from 60 FPS to 30 FPS in one case.
This change makes netplay clients negotiate whether FMA should
be used. If all clients use an x64 CPU that supports FMA, or
AArch64, then FMA is enabled, and otherwise FMA is disabled.
In other words, we sacrifice accuracy if needed to avoid massive
slowdown, but not otherwise. When not using netplay, whether to
enable FMA is simply based on whether the host CPU supports it.
The only remaining case where the software FMA path gets used
under normal circumstances is when an input recording is created
on a CPU with FMA support and then played back on a CPU without.
This is not an especially common scenario (though it can happen),
and TASers are generally less picky about performance and more
picky about accuracy than other users anyway.
With this change, FMA desyncs are avoided between AArch64 and
modern x64 CPUs (unlike before 2c38d64), but we do get FMA
desyncs between AArch64 and old x64 CPUs (like before 2c38d64).
This desync can be avoided by adding a non-FMA path to JitArm64 as
an option, which I will wait with for another pull request so that
we can get the performance regression fixed as quickly as possible.

Added RAII wrapper around the the JITPageWriteEnableExecuteDisable() and
JITPageWriteDisableExecuteEnable() to make it so that it is harder to forget to
pair the calls in all code branches as suggested by leoetlino.
