This should reduce (but not completely eliminate) gradual audio desyncs in dumps. This also allows for accurate sample rates for the GameCube.
Completely eliminating gradual audio desyncs will require resampling to an integer sample rate, as nothing seems to support a non-integer sample rate.

The STL has everything we need nowadays.
I have tried to not alter any behavior or semantics with this
change wherever possible. In particular, WriteLow and WriteHigh
in CommandProcessor retain the ability to accidentally undo
another thread's write to the upper half or lower half
respectively. If that should be fixed, it should be done in a
separate commit for clarity. One thing did change: The places
where we were using += on a volatile variable (not an atomic
operation) are now using fetch_add (actually an atomic operation).
Tested with single core and dual core on x86-64 and AArch64.
Some of the device names can be ambiguous and require fully or partly
qualifying the name (e.g. IOS::HLE::FS::) in a somewhat verbose way.
Additionally, insufficiently qualified names are prone to breaking.
Consider the example of IOS::HLE::FS:: (namespace) and
IOS::HLE::Device::FS (class). If we use FS::Foo in a file that doesn't
know about the class, everything will work fine. However, as soon as
Device::FS is declared via a header include or even just forward
declared, that code will cease to compile because FS:: now resolves
to Device::FS if FS::Foo was used in the Device namespace.
It also leads to having to write IOS::ES:: to access ES types and
utilities even for code that is already under the IOS namespace.
The fix for this is simple: rename the device classes and give them
a "device" suffix in their names if the existing ones may be ambiguous.
This makes it clear whether we're referring to the device class or to
something else.
This is not any longer to type, considering it lets us get rid of the
Device namespace, which is now wholly unnecessary.
There are no functional changes in this commit.
A future commit will fix unnecessarily qualified names.
C++17 allows omitting the mutex type, which makes for both less reading
and more flexibility (e.g. The mutex type can change and all occurrences
don't need to be updated).
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
This changes the main IOS code (roughly the equivalent of the kernel)
to a class instead of being a set of free functions + tons of static
variables.
The reason for this change is that keeping tons of static variables
like that prevents us from making an IOS instance and reusing IOS
code easily.
Converting the IOS code to a class also allows us to mostly decouple
IOS from the PPC emulation.
The more interesting changes are in Core/IOS/IOS. Everything else is
mostly just boring stuff required by this change...
* Because the devices themselves call back to the main IOS code
for various things (getting the current version, replying to a
request, and other syscall-like functions), just like processes in
IOS call kernel syscalls, we have to pass a reference to the kernel
to anything that uses IOS syscalls.
* Change DoState to save device names instead of device IDs to simplify
AddDevice() and get rid of an ugly static count.
* Change ES_Launch's ack to be sent at IOS boot, now that we can do
this properly.
This implements MIOS's PPC bootstrapping functionality, which enables
users to start a GameCube game from the Wii System Menu.
Because we aren't doing Starlet LLE (and don't have a boot1), we can
just jump to MIOS when the emulated software does an ES_LAUNCH or uses
ioctlv 0x25 to launch BC.
Note that the process is more complex on a real Wii and goes through
several more steps before getting to MIOS:
* The System Menu detects a GameCube disc and launches BC (1-100)
instead of the game. [Dolphin does this too.]
* BC, which is reportedly very similar to boot1, lowers the Hollywood
clock speed to the Flipper's and then launches boot2.
* boot2 sees the lowered clock speed and launches MIOS (1-101) instead
of the System Menu.
MIOS runs instead of IOS in GC mode and has an embedded GC IPL (which
is the code actually responsible for loading the disc game) and a PPC
bootstrap code. To get things working properly, we simply need to load
both to memory, then jump to the bootstrap code at 0x3400.
Obviously, because of the way this works, a real MIOS is required.
IPC_HLE is actually IOS HLE. The actual IPC emulation is not in
IPC_HLE, but in HW/WII_IPC.cpp. So calling IPC_HLE IOS is more
accurate. (If IOS LLE gets ever implemented, it'll likely be at
a lower level -- Starlet LLE.)
This also totally gets rid of the IPC_HLE prefix in file names, and
moves some source files to their own subdirectories to make the file
hierarchy cleaner.
We're going to get ~14 additional source files with the USB PR,
and this is really needed to keep things from becoming a total pain.
During boot of Other M, there is momentarily a period when VICallback's
cycles late is larger than GetTicksPerHalfLine(). Because
GetTicksPerHalfLine() returns a u32 and c++'s weird type promotion rules,
cycleslate gets promoted from a s32 to a u32 and the result of the
substraction is a really large u32.
Before ScheduleEvent accuracy improvements, ScheduleEvent took a s32, so
the result got cast back to the small negitave we expect. But it now takes
a s64 and the u32 to s64 conversion gives us a really large number (around
two seconds) and Other M times out while waiting for something.
