sceVideoOutRegisterBuffers2 and sceVideoOutSubmitChangeBufferAttribute2
threw for every buffer attribute option other than 0. PPSA26344 builds
its display buffers with option 8 through the libSceAgc helper linked
into it, so its first registration failed.
Option 8, VIDEO_OUT_BUFFER_ATTRIBUTE_OPTION_STRICT_COLORIMETRY (name
and value from KytyPS5), is now accepted and presented as option 0;
every other option still throws. What the console changes for it is
unknown and recorded in TechnicalDebt. The rejection now names the
tiling mode, pitch, aspect ratio and option it was given.
video_out_flip_tests decode checks that option 8 describes the same
buffer as option 0 and that options 1, 32 and 40 are rejected.

With APS5_FLIP_INFLIGHT (default 1) a presentation trailed on the GPU and
the flip completed as soon as its blit was queued behind the frame's
batches. The title reads that completion as "the GPU is done with the
frame" and rewrites the frame's memory, but the recorded GPU work still reads
guest memory in place when it runs. In PPSA21564 the per-draw constant
ring of the next frames landed under vertex programs that had not run
yet: a program read an integer sample count as float 1.0 from another
draw and stepped a loop by its reciprocal, about 1e9 iterations, and
other draws got wrong matrices.
The presenter now queues the present and then waits for the frame's own
fence, outside the GPU mutex, before reporting the flip, so the title
cannot reuse the frame's memory while the GPU still reads it.
Test: video_out_flip_tests aftergpu (needs a GPU and a display) submits a
busy compute dispatch, an end-of-pipe label without an interrupt (which
does not drain the device) and a flip, and checks that the flip
completes no earlier than the label lands.
processFlip set lastFlipVblank to the vblank count after the host present
returned. When the acquire, the wait for an earlier presentation or the
present itself crossed the next vblank, the next flip's target moved out
by one vblank even when that flip was already queued: a frame ready in
17 ms was shown for 33 ms, and a title that advances its logic by a fixed
step per presented frame ran in slow motion.
A flip takes effect at the vblank it is released at, so that vblank is
now the one the next flip's interval counts from, recorded when the flip
is released. Flip events, flipStatus and flipPendingNum are unchanged.
Test: video_out_flip_tests pacing (needs a GPU and a display) submits
the first flip at flip rate 2, whose presentation opens the device and
spans several vblanks, and checks that lastFlipVblank is 3.
and throws for any non-zero word after it. Its layout matches shadPS4's
ServiceThreadParams instead: an unknown first word (16), a set-priority flag
and a priority (256..767), a set-affinity flag and a 64-bit CPU mask at
offset 16. PPSA21564 passes 16, 1, 0x100, 1 and 0x1FFF, so it stops at
startup on main.
sceVideoOutOpen now validates each field and reads the mask only when its
flag is set, so a 16-byte param with both flags clear still works. The
priority and affinity are not applied, since the present and vblank threads
are host threads; this and the unknown first word are listed in the
technical debt.
sceVideoOutOpen threw for any non-null param. PS5 titles pass a 16-byte
open param whose first word is its size, so they could not open a port.
A param whose size word is 16 and whose other three words are zero
requests nothing beyond a null param and is accepted. Any other size,
or any non-zero option word, still throws.
libkernel: a TimedWait service for condition variables, semaphores, event flags, rwlocks and
equeues with the scheduler tick; mutex/cond/sem corner cases the title hits; job worker
affinity is opt-in (APS5_JOB_AFFINITY). libc: calloc/realloc heap slot swap, a default
terminate handler with a backtrace, CPU topology helper. libSceRtc export fixes with tests.
libSceVideoOut: APS5_NO_PAD_INPUT ignores host input for unattended measurements,
APS5_FLIP_QUEUE_WAIT keeps a stalled process alive for a debugger. ApplicationHeap and
GuestRtc tests wired into the test build.
