In #3338, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PPSA01474) hits a 36 GB / 5 s
memcpy stall at frame ~380 right after intro logos because the GPU
worker thread is blocked copying multi-gigabyte storage buffers on every
draw snapshot miss (specifically a 3.01 GiB streaming range
0x118f800000+0xbc200000 and a 232 MiB range 0x1171258040+0xe7fffc0
across 130,000 draws).
ShaderResources::PrepareDrawBindings now caps both per-allocation and
cumulative draw input buffer snapshot copies at 64 MiB by default,
overridable via APS5_DRAW_SNAPSHOT_MAX_MIB. Inputs exceeding the threshold
skip snapshotting and bind directly in place, preventing multi-gigabyte
memory copies while preserving standard small uniforms and draw arguments.
Budget allocation prioritises earlier descriptor bindings in deterministic
pipeline layout order.
Adds drawSnapshotCapTests in core/libs/prx/libSceAgcDriver/tests/Recorder.cpp
verifying individual and cumulative capping, cross-platform cache behavior on
watched and compared hosts, and direct observation of subsequent CPU writes
on in-place bound ranges exceeding the cap. Exercised via --draw-snapshot-cap-only
registered as agc_draw_snapshot_cap in libSceAgcDriver/CMakeLists.txt.
Defer registered NGG workgroup preparation until routing is known. Share the routing decision with static ABI resolution and draws. Gate the wave64 fixture on supported mesh subgroups; retain device-independent routing coverage.
EVO Player (PPSA99039), Jelly5 (PPSA99505), Emby5 (PPSA99515) and
Nuvio PS5 (PPSA99997) stop on main 0f863c10 with
what(): sceAgcCreatePrimState: invalid user configuration register offsets
All four build their shader headers by hand (EVO-PLAYER-PS5
evo_agc_shader_header.c, ported from ps5-xash3d-halflife) and store the
ge_user_vgpr_en special at 0x25c (GE_USER_VGPR1, value 0) instead of
0x262 (GE_USER_VGPR_EN), as analysed in #3457. They run on the console.
OpenAGC's reconstruction of the FW 5.50 sceAgcCreatePrimState
(src/game_compat.c at 3c7e8072) copies the four special register pairs
verbatim without checking their offsets; KytyPS5's offset checks
(src/libs/agc.cpp at 16a7fe68) are EXIT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED guards. The
special is now copied at the offset the header stores, not moved to
0x262; the driver reads neither register. GE_CNTL, VGT_SHADER_STAGES_EN
and a used VGT_GS_OUT_PRIM_TYPE are still required at their own
offsets because the driver reads them there, and the error now names
the special and the offset found.
With the change all four titles get past sceAgcCreatePrimState and stop
in the shader recompiler (GetImageResource dword 3 is not a valid
runtime value), as #3457 reported for EVO Player.

(cherry picked from commit aeaa5080d9595305aa73e74d966f989c88b79839)
lseek on a non-directory descriptor no longer takes the directory table lock when no directory is open, and a listing is read under the descriptor's own lock. SEEK_CUR with offset 0 only reports the position, and an overflowing SEEK_CUR offset reports EOVERFLOW.
inet_pton and inet_ntop no longer call the host resolver library, whose
accepted forms and output differ from the guest's (leading zeros,
zone ids, IPv4-embedded printing).

Titles that call Open/Speak after a failed initialize should get the same unavailable-engine error instead of a throw.

Deathloop (PPSA01670), Minecraft Legends (PPSA05510) and GTA III
Definitive Edition import both from libSceAmpr. They take a pointer to
the handle slot and act on the conditions created by the libc _Cnd_init:
_Cnd_signal wakes one waiter through a libc helper, _Cnd_init_with_name
is _Cnd_init with the name ignored. _Thrd_id still throws.

Document the level-triggered user event semantics of sceKernelWaitEqueue in TechnicalDebt.
(cherry picked from commit db79bee1e597effff34c72493ed893d4e750b95d)
The macOS image initializer called a guest module's DT_INIT with no
arguments, so a module started with sceKernelLoadStartModule never saw
its args and argp, and its result was dropped. The Linux writer already
calls DT_INIT through libkernel's pending argument handoff. On the
macOS port, the PSN plugin of PPSA12544 refuses to start without its
argument block ("PSN is an old version that cannot be used by the
current player runtime") and the title then crashes.
A guest module with DT_INIT now gets two slots bound to
__aps5_get_pending_module_args_nid_no_patch and
__aps5_set_module_init_result_nid_no_patch, and its initializer calls
DT_INIT with the args and argp that sceKernelLoadStartModule records,
as on Linux, then hands the result back. The TechnicalDebt sentence
about the missing arguments on macOS is removed.
guest_module_args also relinks its fixture with --macos and checks the
two binds; on x86-64 macOS it loads the module and checks that DT_INIT
receives the arguments and that its result is returned.
