Adds a Graphics setting, "Use NVIDIA DLSS in place of a game's DLSS" (nvidia_dlss, off by
default). When it is on, in Windows builds configured with EGLANTINE_STREAMLINE_SDK, the
evaluation Eglantine already replaces with FSR 3.1 goes to NVIDIA DLSS on GeForce RTX cards, with
the same inputs (colour, depth, motion vectors, jitter). When DLSS can't run, FSR 3.1 runs as
before.
Only Streamline's MIT-licensed headers are compiled in; nothing of NVIDIA's is linked or shipped.
At run time Eglantine looks for sl.interposer.dll in the user folder's "streamline" folder (or
EDEN_STREAMLINE_DIR, or "streamline" next to the executable), checks its Streamline signature and
starts Streamline with manual hooking. Streamline's plugins come from that folder or the NVIDIA
app's downloads. DLSS itself is nvngx_dlss.dll in the same folder, else the newest DLSS 310 or
later that the NVIDIA app has downloaded, checked for NVIDIA's Authenticode signature and copied
as streamline/nvidia-app/nvngx_dlss.dll. Like other tools that call DLSS outside a game, it uses
its own fixed project id with the custom engine type.
- Preset K for all modes (EDEN_NX2_DLSS_PRESET overrides it): the default Performance model (M)
and L draw thin dark horizontal lines in some frames at 2x resolution scale; K doesn't.
- HDR input with auto exposure; the mode follows the render/output ratio.
- Buffer device address stays enabled when DLSS needs it, for DLSS only.
- The upscaler waits for the device instead of submitting when it is destroyed: by then the
game's channels are released, and a submit read the state tracker's stale flags (a crash when
stopping a game).
With the setting off, or in builds without the SDK path (the setting is hidden there), nothing
changes.
Testing: Windows 11, RTX 5080, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave docked at 1x (720p -> 1440p) and 2x
(1440p -> 2880p), CLI runs and GUI play, stopping and restarting games with DLSS on. Not tested on
other GPUs or games.

* video_core: demote the texture cache's per-draw debug logs to trace
The invalid sampler and image view index messages fire for unused
binding slots on every draw. Filtered LOG_DEBUG messages still cost a
call and argument packing: in a Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave city scene
(about 2,100 draws per frame) they were 3.1% of the GPUBack thread's
samples. LOG_TRACE compiles them out of release builds.

* texture_cache: read a descriptor with one page lookup
DescriptorTable::Read runs for every texture and sampler of every draw,
and it read each 32-byte TIC/TSC entry through the generic
ReadBlockUnsafe page walk. In a Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave city scene
(about 2,100 draws per frame) that was 5.0% of the GPUBack thread's
samples. An entry within one page is contiguous in host memory, so it
is now a single page lookup and memcpy. Entries that cross a page and
pages without host memory still take the block read, so unmapped and
unbacked entries still read as zero.
The same change in another Eden-based build cut these reads from 6.4%
to 0.4% of its GPU thread.

049c9633ed made TextureHeaderIndex take index / 32 for any texture index past the
pool that is a multiple of 32, in VisitImageView and in the shader environment.
That was written for Switch 2 handles that hold a header byte offset, but it ran
for Switch 1 games too, where such an out-of-range index used to give a null view
(and fail the shader environment's range check) and now binds an unrelated
header. Pass whether the memory manager uses native tiling, which is how Switch 2
titles are set up, and keep the previous behaviour otherwise.
Follow-up to 049c9633ed.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's DLSS network can't run here, and the
temporal stand-in is only an approximation of it. FSR 3.1 takes the
same inputs DLSS does: the jittered colour, motion vectors, the jitter
and the depth, which the game's first DLSS pass reads through
cbuf0+0x298 (Z32, reversed, the colour's size). Kepler compute keeps it
next to the motion vectors.
Fsr3Upscaler ports the host side of the SDK's ffx_fsr3upscaler.cpp: the
eight passes (prepare inputs, luma and shading-change pyramids, shading
change, reactivity, luma instability, accumulate, RCAS), the internal
images and the constants, recorded through the scheduler with the
shaders from externals/FidelityFX-SDK. It takes HDR colour, render-size
motion vectors and reversed depth, computes its own exposure, and uses
the no-wave SPD variants on devices without compute quad operations.
The SDK's GLSL uses separate textures and samplers, so DescriptorBankInfo
gains sampled image and sampler counts (default 0). FSR's RCAS follows
the RCAS Sharpness slider. The result goes to FSR's own RGBA16F image
and is drawn into the game's output, which keeps its format.
TextureCacheRuntime::TemporalUpscale runs FSR 3.1 first. Without the
depth, at mismatched scales, on a device lacking FSR's formats or
features, or if its pipelines fail to build, the stand-in runs instead,
and the bilinear blit stays last. EDEN_NX2_DLSS_REPLACEMENT=standin
forces the stand-in. A gap of more than 250 ms between evaluations
restarts the history.
The BlitColor overload that takes a raw image view transitions its
source to SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL but described it as GENERAL in the
descriptor (a validation error); it now describes the layout it uses.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's DLSS input matches Eden's (same 720p
image, same detail), but the stand-in's 1440p output was blurrier than a
plain bilinear 2x of it (Laplacian 0.0066 vs 0.0081; Eden's real DLSS
0.0111), and the image drifted darker over time:
- the sample kernel was about twice too wide for the output resolution;
- the history was kept in the output's B10G11R11 format, whose 5-6 bit
mantissas round away a frame's 0.03-0.1 share;
- the 1-sigma neighbourhood clip removed detail that only some jitter
positions sample (railings, thin edges).
The history is now an RGBA16F pair the shader writes as a storage image,
with no per-frame copy. Still pixels use a third of the kernel width and
a 1.5-sigma clip, so detail from many jitter positions accumulates.
Moving pixels keep the old kernel and 1-sigma clip, and so do pixels
that moved recently or whose history falls far outside the
neighbourhood (content that changes without motion vectors), remembered
in the history's alpha. Static output goes from 0.0066 to 0.0102 with
no brightness drift and no new ghosting.
With resolution scaling the stand-in used to fall back to a bilinear
blit. The images are now scaled up as BlitImage does, the jitter is
scaled to host pixels and the history follows the framebuffer's render
area.
RCAS (temporal_sharpen.frag) sharpens a copy of each result, never the
history, in range-compressed space since the output is HDR. Its strength
is the sharpness slider, relabelled "RCAS Sharpness" (0% turns it off).
EDEN_NX2_TEMPORAL_KERNEL, _CLIP, _KERNEL_MOTION, _CLIP_MOTION and
_WEIGHT tune the filter (all four filter values at 1 give the old one),
and EDEN_NX2_TEMPORAL_SHARPEN=<stops>|off overrides the slider.

Resolved by area:
- audio feature_support.h: nx2's native revision handling.
- fiber.cpp: ours, which also drops the unused rewind stack.
- host_memory.cpp: ours granule bitmap and HintCold, plus nx2's
fallocate hole punching per whole dirty granule on Linux.
- texture_cache.h: nx2's old-age eviction pass, then our Collect().
- kepler_compute.cpp: shared upscale slots, then Fortune's Weave's,
then the Kirby Air Riders scan.
- nx2_gsv.h: ours, plus nx2's GetBufferMaxResolution and graphics
device ids (1-based).
- nvhost_ctrl_gpu.cpp: engine support flag bits 40-44.
- lower_to_maxwell.h: ours as the base, with nx2's seven lowering
commits applied one at a time. Second texture descriptor buffers
are read bindless in TEX, TLD.SCR (level zero) and SUST; FSEL
keeps its operand modifiers; TXD takes any channel mask.
lower_to_maxwell.h lowers 837 Fortune's Weave and 1183 Mario Kart
World shader dumps with the same rejects as nx2 and ours (12 and 0).

buffer cache crash (#260)
* host_memory: punch holes in the backing on Linux instead of zero filling freed memory
Freeing guest memory zero filled the memfd backing with memset, which
commits every page it touches. fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) hands the pages back
to the kernel instead, and they read as zero afterwards. Only the partial
pages at the ends are still cleared by hand.
Mario Kart World on Linux (RX 9070 XT, 31 GB): peak RSS 23.1 -> 15.9 GB.
EDEN_PUNCH_HOLE=0 restores the memset.

* fiber: don't zero fill the stacks, untouched pages stay unbacked
The value initialised stack arrays were zero filled when each fiber was
made, which commits the whole stack. Left uninitialised, the pages a
fiber never touches stay unbacked. Together with the descriptor ring
change, about 1.2 GB less RSS in Mario Kart World.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (debugging, profiling and code drafts)
* vulkan: don't zero fill the descriptor update ring
Same as the fiber stacks: make_unique value initialised the whole ring
for every frame in flight. Entries are always written before they are
read, so allocate it without initialising it.

* vulkan: wait for the GPU after an ASTC transcode decode like the other ASTC decodes
TranscodeAstcToBcn (astc_recompression Bc1/Bc3 with GPU decode) was the
only ASTC decode recorded with wait = false. On RADV (RX 9070 XT, Mesa)
Mario Kart World with BC3 flashed heavily all over the screen, while the
uncompressed GPU decode, which waits, did not. CPU decode with BC3 does
not flash either. Waiting after the transcode removes the flashing; full
pipeline barriers around its copy did not, so the wait hides a race
somewhere else rather than fixing one in the transcode itself.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (debugging, profiling and code drafts)
* vulkan: submit after an ASTC decode instead of waiting for the GPU by default
Every ASTC decode ended with scheduler.Finish(). Over a 19 minute Mario
Kart World Grand Prix that stalled the GPU thread 30.7 s in total, up to
1.2 s out of every 5 s while new textures stream in (track sections,
race starts), which is where the hitches were. Flushing keeps the
ordering that stops the BC3 flashing on RADV without the CPU waiting:
no flashing in play, and frames over 100 ms went from dozens to 3 in
about 7 minutes. EDEN_NX2_ASTC_FLUSH=0 restores the wait.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (debugging, profiling and code drafts)
* texture_cache: over the expected use, evict costly images unused for 1800 frames first
The collector never deletes CostlyLoad images outside aggressive mode, so
once a cup moves on, the previous tracks' textures stay resident and the
cache sits over its expected use deleting the cheap images still in use.
When over the expected use, costly images unused for 1800 frames (half a
minute) now go first.
Mario Kart World Grand Prix on an RX 9070 XT: frames over 20 ms 8.8% ->
4.0%, 58.7 fps average. EDEN_NX2_TC_OLD_AGE=<frames> sets the age, 0
turns it off.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (debugging, profiling and code drafts)
* buffer_cache: no buffer for device addresses past the page table
FindBuffer indexed page_table, which covers 2^36 bytes, with any address.
Mario Kart World crashed after about 4.5 minutes with a uniform buffer at
0x72253b2f2890 (FindBuffer <- UpdateUniformBuffers <- DrawEnd from a
macro), reading far past the table. Treat such an address as no buffer.
Where that address comes from is still unknown; this only stops the
crash.

The one-frame blit left 3D edges aliased and shaking: the game jitters
its camera every frame for DLSS to accumulate. Fire Emblem: Fortune's
Weave's first DLSS pass (also rejected) has the motion vectors
(cbuf0+0x290, R16G16) and the frame's jitter (+0x1b0/+0x1b4, in input
pixels). Kepler compute keeps them, and the stand-in for the last
network pass now draws temporal_upscale.frag: input samples placed where
the jitter put them and weighted by distance, blended with the previous
result reprojected along the motion vectors (Catmull-Rom) and clipped to
the 3x3 neighbourhood in YCoCg. The history is copied from the result
right after drawing it, so post-processing the game later applies to its
output does not feed back. EDEN_NX2_TEMPORAL_UPSCALE=0 restores the blit.

The collector's usage leaves out the unused part of VMA's blocks, but
the driver counts it and a heap at its budget cannot give it to a new
image. On an RX 7800 XT that slack was 1.06 GiB, the whole 1 GiB margin:
the heap sat at its budget for a minute while the collector saw room,
then images stopped fitting and the process died. Reserve the slack
(capped at 1.5 GiB) on top of the margin: at once when it grows, slowly
when it shrinks, so eviction leaving partly used blocks doesn't chase
the threshold down.

When VRAM ran out, any image that failed to allocate became a sparse
image with nothing bound, which AMD's drivers don't survive being
sampled (an RX 6600 died mid-flood, an RX 7800 XT made 211 of them,
8x8 ones included). Try host memory first, and count the images that
didn't fit: the texture cache then keeps more room under the budget
(512 MiB a step, up to 3 GiB, decaying) so its collector runs earlier.
The sparse fallback stays for images too large to back.

Deleting by age alone left every block partly used: the collector deletes
thousands of images a minute and new ones land in the holes, so blocks
seldom empty (title 1: ~0.8 GB of holes in ~190 32 MiB blocks after ten
minutes, counted by the driver as used). Among the oldest candidates, 8
per image a pass may delete, those in the emptiest blocks go first, so
blocks drain and VMA returns them; placement already prefers the fullest
blocks.

Images whose guest memory is not contiguous were left out of the cold
hint. With sparse tile remaps Mario Kart World maps its own memory into
such images, and its game memory in RAM rose by ~1.9 GB in one run. Each
mapped piece is now hinted.

Deleting the last image of an allocation erased its lookup but kept its
slot, and removing a framebuffer moved it to the deletion queue but kept
its slot, so both slot vectors grew with every allocation and
framebuffer ever made (title 1: 8.3k allocations and 1k framebuffers
made in its first 4 minutes, 5.2k and 600 alive).

Deleting an image erased the channels' descriptor -> view entries
pointing to its views by scanning every channel's map (Mario Kart
World: ~5,000 entries, 50-130 us per deleted image, dozens a frame
while the collector runs). The cache keeps, per view, the (channel,
descriptor) entries that point to it and erases just those, skipping
entries of channels that are gone or that point to another view since.

Deleted images kept their device memory for TICKS_TO_DESTROY (8)
frames. While the collector deletes dozens a frame that held 1-1.5 GB
of VRAM on top of its threshold, which the collector does not count
(Mario Kart World on an 8 GB card: 6.6-7.0 GB in use against 5 GiB). On
runtimes that report GPU progress (Vulkan) an image is destroyed as
soon as the GPU is past it. Title screen, 10 minutes: VRAM in use 6.75
-> 6.34 GB on average, frames over 100 ms 22 -> 15.

The collector deletes images into a ring that destroys them TICKS_TO_DESTROY
frames later, and until then the driver still counts their memory. Reading the
driver's usage every frame, the collector saw no drop after deleting and kept
deleting 40+ images a frame in aggressive mode long after it had freed enough:
once a session reached the critical threshold, frames took over 100 ms for
seconds at a time.
Keep the bytes deleted into each slot of the ring and leave them out of the
reported usage until the ring destroys them.

Deleting an image stamped every entry of every channel's view-id map
with CORRUPT_ID (validation, which is on in release builds) and cleared
every channel's descriptor table bitmaps on the spot. On Mario Kart
World's title screen (~5,400 entries in 5 channels) that took 362 us
per deleted image, with dozens deleted a frame while the collector runs:
~10% of the time in its frames over 100 ms.
The stamp is debug-only now. The tables are invalidated along with it,
so every entry is written again before it is read. Invalidate() marks a
table and its bitmap is cleared on the next read, once however many
images were deleted in between. Same title screen: 3.7 us per deleted
image.

The collector's thresholds follow the card's size and budget (critical
at budget - 768 MiB), so the cache keeps textures of earlier scenes
until the card is nearly full: Mario Kart World used 6.7 GB of an 8 GB
card, and more on larger cards. Cap the critical threshold at 5 GiB (and
expected/minimum below it) whatever the card. Same build, back to back:
peak device memory 6.7 -> 5.6 GB, frames over 100 ms 114 -> 64 in six
minutes, average frame time unchanged. The EDEN_NX2_TC_*_MIB overrides
still apply.

Switch Sports' scenery shaders take their 64-bit texture handles from a uniform
register, and the texture part of those handles is the header's byte offset in the
pool (index * 32), not its index: 0x96e46000 names header 8960 (a 640x152 2D
texture), while the plain reading, 286720, runs far past the 33067-entry pool. Eden
skipped them at draw time (null view) and built the shaders for a garbage header, so
the island's ground, cliffs and buildings drew black.
When a handle's index falls past the pool but index / 32 lands inside it, take that
header, both when building the shader and when binding the view. Handles that
already resolve keep their meaning.

Once a texture is uploaded the host GPU has its own copy, and the guest
rarely reads that memory again, but it stayed in the emulator's working
set. Every 600 frames the guest ranges of images uploaded since (64 KiB
or more, not GPU-written or sparse) are marked cold through
HostMemory::HintCold, backing and CPU view, from a low-priority worker,
so the OS pages them out before anything else when it needs RAM. Their
contents stay; using them brings them back. Mario Kart World's title
screen at ~10 minutes: game memory in RAM 4.8-5.5 -> 3.6 GB, the
emulator's real RAM 10.6-11.9 -> 9.4 GB, frames over 100 ms not worse.

A zero-size request at a region start wrapped last_block and wrote past the
region's blocks; the offset + size memory bounds check could overflow. Both are
guest-controlled. Also log an error when a sparse tiled image sharing the zeroed
block can't be backed whole before a GPU write.

AMD's drivers can't sample images with unbound memory, so large sparse
images are backed whole there, Mario Kart World's nine sparse masks
included (about 2.9 GB, re-uploaded whole for every tile the game maps).
Where the driver supports sparseResidencyAliased, SparseTiles images are
now created with VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT and every block is
bound to one zeroed 64 KiB block when the image is created (the image is
cleared once); a block gets memory of its own when data arrives, as on
other drivers. Nothing is ever left unbound. If the GPU renders into such
an image, every block gets memory of its own first, cleared, and the data
is loaded again, so the shared block stays zero.
EDEN_NX2_SPARSE_ALIASED=1 uses the shared block wherever it is supported,
=0 never.
Radeon 780M (proprietary driver 32.0.31041), Mario Kart World title
screen, 200 s: no hang or device loss, world lit, shared memory 12.7 GB
at the end growing 1.8 GB/min, against 18.7 GB and 5.1 GB/min with the
masks backed whole. With every sparse image unbound instead (no AMD
fallback at all) the static world renders dark there, so the other large
sparse images stay backed whole on AMD.

Mario Kart World's nine world-sized masks (R8 16384x16384, RG16 and
R16 8192x8192, 170-341 MB each) live in sparse regions the game maps
its own memory into, a few MiB of each. Since a mapped tile counts as
written, the texture cache backed and uploaded each mask in full: about
2.9 GB of device memory, and a whole-mask upload for every tile the
game streamed in.
Such images (single layer, one texel per block, colour, in a sparse
region, 32 MiB or more) are now unbacked SparseTiles images. The
texture cache records the guest ranges written to them; Image::BindTiles
gives the host sparse blocks under those ranges memory, and only those
rectangles are unswizzled, a row of whole GOB blocks at a time, and
uploaded. A new image starts with the tiles the game maps there (nx2:gpu
216 now records them per 64 KiB), or the written blocks where it maps
none. Unmapped tiles keep their blocks and are loaded as zeros.
Checked against the full unswizzle on 400 ordinary game images (row
padding, mip chains, odd sizes): no row differs. Not on AMD drivers,
which cannot sample images with unbound memory.
Mario Kart World title screen, 150 s, against backing the masks whole:
dedicated VRAM 6.6 -> 6.2 GB, shared 1.0 -> 0.3 GB, peak 8.2 -> 6.9 GB.

Mario Kart World filled the GPU after a few minutes on 8 GB cards, and on
16 GB cards with uncompressed ASTC: textures were created without memory
(garbage), then the emulator crashed. The Switch 2 collector thresholds
came from the sum of all heap budgets, but on AMD the host-visible
device-local heap is the same VRAM, so the critical threshold ended above
the real budget and the collector never kicked in. Unbacked images were
also counted at their full size.
Thresholds now follow the main device-local heap's budget, re-read every
30 frames, and images count the memory they really have. Switch 2 titles
on GPUs under 12 GiB re-compress ASTC to BC3 for the session when it is
set to Uncompressed (EDEN_NX2_KEEP_ASTC=1 opts out), and
EDEN_NX2_VRAM_LIMIT_MIB simulates a smaller GPU for testing.

The written part of Mario Kart World's sparse terrain arrays is small:
13-26% of their blocks. The two 1.45 GB ASTC arrays were backed in full
on the host, and the two 5.8 GB BC6H arrays, too large to back, stayed
unbacked, so what the game streamed into them never showed.
A color array of 32 MiB or more lying in one sparse region, in a format
uploaded layer by layer (huge ASTC arrays decoded on the GPU, or formats
sampled as they are), is now a sparse resident image (SparseLayers).
When it is refreshed, the layers written since (or, for a new image,
the layers any of whose blocks was written) get device memory bound
with vkQueueBindSparse (under the submit lock, waited on, as the
multi-range buffer cache does) and only those layers are uploaded.
Unwritten layers read zero. One image binds at most 768 MiB (384 MiB on
GPUs with less than 7 GiB); rendering into one binds all its layers.
Mario Kart World, 180 s: the ASTC arrays hold 1.4 MiB per written layer,
four BC6H layers (341 MiB) now have their data, device memory in use
4.8-5.0 GB instead of 6.0-7.1 GB with the texture cache below its
collection threshold, 16.8-17.2 ms average frames, peak working set
13.4 GB.

Mario Kart World creates nine terrain layer pools in sparse regions (four
R8 16384x16384, four RG16 8192x8192, one R16 8192x8192: 2.9 GB of device
memory). In 180 s of title and attract demo not one of their blocks is
written and nothing renders into them, so they hold zeros; on the console
only the few tiles the game maps have memory.
nx2:gpu now publishes which 4 MiB blocks of each sparse region have been
written (nx2.h, a leaf lock the texture cache may take). An image of 32
MiB or more lying in one sparse region with no written block is created
as a sparse resident image with nothing bound: reads return zero, as an
unmapped tile does. The first write into its range, or the first time the
GPU renders into it (that range then counts as written), marks it
remapped, so a backed image replaces it at its next use.
Mario Kart World, 180 s: the collector deletes 0-80 images per 600 frames
instead of thousands, frames over 100 ms per 600 presents drop from 1-9 to
0-1, peak working set 14.7 GB. One render target in a small sparse region
gets replaced once (logged).

Any write into an image marked all of it CPU-modified, so each terrain
tile Mario Kart World streams into its 8192x8192x68 ASTC arrays re-read
and re-decoded the whole 1.45 GB array: a 2 GiB staging buffer and a
full GPU wait each time, 15-16 GB of uploads per 600 frames.
Large layered images on the accelerated ASTC path (64 MiB and up) now
record the layers written since their last upload and stay tracked; a
refresh reads and decodes only those layers, one dispatch per layer and
level into a single-layer storage view. The texture cache's 600-frame
report counts uploads from guest memory, their size and how many went by
layer. Upload scratch buffers grown past 64 MiB for one huge image (341
MiB for the terrain layer pools) are freed at the next frame instead of
kept for the session.
Mario Kart World, 180 s: after loading, uploads drop from 15-16 GB to
0.2-0.5 GB per 600 frames, the largest from 1453 MiB to 2-15 MiB.

A 9-minute Mario Kart World session wrote 36k log lines at the default
level, most of them one per GPU call: nx2:syncpt 201/202 (12k), gpu
submit jobs (7k), memory registrations (7k), "Lowered native shader"
(1.6k), and 4.7k "Storage buffer tracked without bias" warnings, which
every Switch 2 shader hits. These, the texture cache's per-image and
per-format detail lines, the 3D image shapes and the per-type VMA lines
are now debug level. The once-a-report summary lines (texture cache
memory, images created/deleted, VMA heap budget) stay at info.

The collector's periodic log now also counts evictions that downloaded the image first
(each a full GPU wait). EDEN_NX2_TC_MIN_AGE=<frames> keeps images used more recently
than that (a VRAM thrash test on 8 GB: 120 frames made no difference over three runs).

- The texture and buffer caches' mutexes spin briefly before sleeping
(Common::SpinRecursiveMutex): the GPU thread, the fencing thread and
CPU write traps take them tens of thousands of times a second for
microseconds, and a sleeping waiter's wake-up took longer than that.
Title 1's GPU thread slept 7.7% of its time there, now 3.7%.
- Fences commit and pop texture and buffer downloads separately, and
only when there are any (one fence per compute dispatch in Switch 2
titles): the fencing thread no longer holds both caches while it
copies buffer downloads.
- Inline uploads and pre-draw invalidation take the caches one at a
time again: holding one while std::lock waited for the other waited
longer.

Native titles' thresholds came from Eden's device memory figure, which
is capped near 7 GB: on a tester's RTX 4070 SUPER (11.2 GB budget) title
1 kept evicting 800-1,600 textures per 600 frames with 3 GB unused. They
now follow the budget (critical at budget - 768 MiB, expected at budget
- 1536 MiB, re-read every 60 frames); the EDEN_NX2_TC_* overrides still
win, and the thresholds are logged only when they move by 256 MiB.

EDEN_NX2_GPU_PROFILE=1 times the GPU thread's stages (command parsing,
macros, draw setup by step, compute, texture uploads) and logs each
one's share of every second.
EDEN_NX2_SAMPLE=<thread names> (Windows) pauses the named threads about
600 times a second for EDEN_NX2_SAMPLE_SECONDS, walks their stacks and
writes per-function counts plus folded stacks (EDEN_NX2_SAMPLE_OUT).

- accelerate_astc=Gpu with astc_recompression=Bc1/Bc3 now decodes ASTC
with the GPU decoder into a temporary RGBA8 image (dedicated memory,
freed once the GPU is past it) and compresses it with a new compute
shader (bc_encoder.comp: bounding-box endpoints along the colours'
covariance, inset 1/16, nearest palette entry; BC3 alpha ramp; BC1
punch-through), then copies the blocks into the image. No CPU decode,
so streamed textures are ready the frame they are first used instead
of showing placeholders for seconds; the decode pass no longer waits
for the GPU on this path.
- The CPU path (CpuAsynchronous) fills a new image with zero blocks
before its first decode instead of showing stale VRAM, and the
transcode pool is a quarter of the hardware threads.
- Switch 2 titles: collector thresholds near the device budget, re-read
every 60 frames from VK_EXT_memory_budget (another game shrank it from
7.0 to 5.4 GB).
- EDEN_NX2_HIDE_WINDOW=0 now leaves the window visible.

- Unmapped GPU addresses get a stand-in CPU address fixed by the GPU
address. A fresh one per lookup meant FindImage never found an image
there again: title 1's bloom chain at 0xf0000-0x15b600 was re-created
on every use (~5,400 images per 600 frames), filling VRAM.
- ASTC whose blocks carry no alpha (exact endpoint-mode scan reusing the
decoder's block parsing) is re-compressed to BC1 instead of BC3, half
the size; about 70% of title 1's ASTC qualifies. Copies between BC1
and BC3 hosts are skipped (their guest data is uploaded instead).
EDEN_NX2_ASTC_BC1=0 turns it off.
- Deleting an image cancels every decode still queued for it. An image
re-decoded mid-decode has two; the first to finish cleared IsDecoding,
the second was not cancelled and was uploaded into the next image to
take the slot: garbage textures (the title logo, road patches) and a
staging overrun when that image was smaller.
- Diagnostics: images created and deleted per 600 frames by shape,
collector deletions, async decodes, BC1/BC3 split; collector
thresholds overridable (EDEN_NX2_TC_EXPECTED_MIB/CRITICAL_MIB); GPU
ASTC decode wait timing (EDEN_NX2_ASTC_FLUSH=1 submits without it).
Title 1 attract loop: device memory 4.8-5.1 GB instead of 5.9-6.1 GB, no
decoded textures evicted, ~17 -> 22-23 fps.
|
| |
|
|
|

Device memory use is ~3 GB above what the images account for; this shows
where. The per-decode log drops to debug level.

TickAsyncDecode locked a finished decode's mutex, erased the context (freeing
the mutex) and only then let the lock go out of scope, unlocking freed
memory. With ASTC re-compressed on the CPU (accelerate_astc=CpuAsynchronous)
title 1 hit this a few minutes in: cdb reported "Free Heap block modified
after it was freed" at the mutex offset, and a run without the debugger
crashed. The lock is now released before the erase.
Also, deleting an image while it is being decoded (deletions other than the
collector, which already skips them) cancels the decode instead of
uploading into a freed slot.
Verified under cdb past 330 s (failed at 243 s twice before).

Title 1 has ~700 ASTC 8x8 textures (~280 MB as stored); decoded to RGBA8
they took ~4.5 GB, pushing Eden past the 8 GB of an RTX 4070 Laptop
(8.4-9.8 GB in use) and the texture cache into permanent aggressive
collection. With astc_recompression=Bc3 (CPU, asynchronous) they fit
(4.6-5.6 GB). The two 8192x8192x68 terrain arrays would still not fit as
BC3, so ASTC 2D arrays over 1 GiB as RGBA8 always use the GPU decoder with
trimmed levels (RGBA8 host image, UNORM/sRGB views), and the decoder pass
now exists whenever the GPU lacks native ASTC.
Also logs every 600 frames: device memory against the collector thresholds,
the largest images, totals by format, and buffer cache totals.
Title screen 65-150 s: 10.1 -> 16.0 fps.

Title 1's terrain virtual textures are 8192x8192x68 ASTC 8x8 sRGB arrays with
12 levels: 1.5 GB in guest memory (fully backed) but 23 GB each as the RGBA8
Eden decodes ASTC to, so they were created unbacked and the near terrain
sampled black. A GPU-decoded ASTC 2D array over 1 GiB decoded now keeps only
the levels from the first one that fits in 512 MiB (here 3: 1024x1024, 380
MiB); host mip 0 is that guest level. Uploads read each layer's tail of the
mip chain into a compact buffer and decode only those levels, views shift
their level range, and these images are never downloaded. Normalized
coordinates and derivative LOD address the smaller image correctly; the
nearest terrain is lower resolution than on the console.
Also logs how unbacked images are used (views, render targets, blits, DMA).

The colour cast on title 1 (magenta/cyan, then red/green, changing per
course) came from the sky/atmosphere volume shader (a pixel shader drawing
a 32^3 RGBA16F table slice by slice), which starts with an unguarded R2UR.
R2UR, MATCH and HFMA2.RELU use P6 as scratch and saved/restored it with the
uniform-guard mask, 1 << (6 - 7) for an unguarded instruction: undefined, in
practice bit 31, which shifted into the opcode bits and turned the save into
another instruction. They now always save and restore P6.
Debugging aids used to find it:
- EDEN_NX2_DUMP=<present>:<addr>:<size>,...: flush GPU memory ranges at a
present (on the GPU thread) and save them next to the frame captures;
nx2work/vol3d.py untiles Switch 2 3D textures from such dumps.
- GPU::RunOnGpuThread.
- Logs of Switch 2 3D images and descriptors.

Title 1 samples an 8192x8192, 12-level, 68-layer array (a sparse virtual
texture, ~23 GB): vkCreateImage failed and Eden aborted, or VMA put it in
system memory and staged a full upload (34 GB private). Images over 2^28
texels are now created sparse-resident with no memory bound; the texture
cache neither uploads nor downloads them. Images merely over the VRAM
budget are allocated without the budget limit instead of failing.
