This new feature while helps on some systems, others using freesync or
higher refresh rates where the capture can't keep up will limit to
fractions of the refresh rate. Better to disable and allow users to
opt-in.
This change reduces the host GPU and CPU load by a large margin
improving guest system performance along with removing latency spikes
when moving the mouse. This is default enabled but can be disabled with
the new option `dxgi:dwmFlush=no` as it limits the capture rate to the
refresh rate of the guests output which may not be desireable.
This change allows the host to provide information to the client about
how the VM is configured, information such as the UUID, CPU
configuration and capture method both for informational display in the
client as well as debugging in the client's logs.
The format of the records allows this to be extended later with new
record types without needing to bump the KVMFR version.
If the wait times out, we used to simply restart the loop, which causes
it to check this->stop and exit if set to true. However, nvfbc_stop
already calls lgSignalEvent, which would wake up the pointer thread to
perform the check, so there is no need to set a timeout on the wait.
The host is a 64-bit application, so requiring 64-bit Windows isn't an
issue. However, not using 32-bit installers has an advantage: we don't
need to require WoW64.
It works, with the following limitations:
1. user is forced to select the monitor through platform-specific mechanisms
every time the client starts.
2. cursor is composed onto the screen, and no position can be reported.
This commit adds damage tracking to the DXGI textures, and only copies the
damaged areas to the textures with ID3D11DeviceContext::CopySubresourceRegion.
The sleep logic in waitFrame makes it difficult for this to reduce the
latency, but removing it shows significant improvements (6-7 ms to ~3 ms)
when a tiny portion of the screen is damaged, while showing no difference on
full screen damage.
This implementation uses a line sweep algorithm to copy the precisely the
intersection of all accumulated damage rectangles, ensuring that every
pixel is copied exactly once, and no pixel is ever copied multiple times.
Furthermore, once a row has been swept, we update the framebuffer write
pointer immediately.
