While it's correct for DXGI to use a asyncronous waitFrame model, other
capture interfaces such as NvFBC it is not correct. This change allows
the capture interface to specify which is more correct for it and moves
the waitFrame/post into the main thread if async is not desired.
This changes the host to use a seperate pool of LGMP memory for cursor
positionl updates without shape information helping to prevent
corruption of the shape entries if they are still pending. While this is
not a perfect solution it resolves the issue without making major
changes to LGMP during the RC phase we are currently in.
Before, we only break out of the current row when a change is detected,
and all subsequent rows are still scanned. Now we break out of the entire
loop. This should make change detection ever so slightly faster.
Testing shows that `D3DKMTSetProcessSchedulingPriorityClass` has a
positive performance impact for NvFBC as well as DXGI, as such always
try to boost the priority for the windows host.
This so called "enhanced" event logic is completely flawed and can never
work correctly, better to strip it out and put our faith in windows to
handle the events for us.
And yes, I am fully aware I wrote the utter trash in the first place :)
People often miss the warnings about invalid arguments in their command
line, this last minute patch attempts to address this by making
warnings, errors, fixme's and fatal errors stand out if stdout is a TTY.
If the guest VM is not showing a cursor when it starts such as on the
Windows login screen, the client never gets the current position of the
cursor, which prevents the client from attempting to send mouse
movements. This change ensures the client gets the mouse location on
startup.
We should only advance the pointerIndex if the buffer was not swapped
out for storage. This is to ensure that we do not overwrite cursor
memory that the client(s) may still be using.
This reverts commit d82f2e510d.
While the proposed change is more correct, it breaks the generation of
the file due to failure to locate the resource files, such as
`resources/icon.ico`.
When a new cursor shape is provided by the capture interface we need to
retain a copy of it incase a new client connects which will not yet have
the cursor shape. The logic here was flawed causing the wrong shape to
be sent to a new client in some instances.
This change adds an average function to time how long it takes the GPU
to copy and map the texture, and then uses this average to sleep for 80%
of this average lowering CPU usage and potentially decreasing lock
contention.
It has been detemined that a failure to init NvFBC causes a 20-30%
performance penalty on non NvFBC supported hardware (GeForce) when using
DXGI, as such reverse the order and default to using DXGI as our first
option.
If NvFBC is still desired, pr #500 added the option `app:capture` which
can be used to force NvFBC.
One of the most common issues reported in the support channels is the
IVSHMEM size being too small. This change adds a calculation to
determine an optimal size and uses the new `os_showMessage` platform
method to display a message box to the user with the error.
Since we now let the mouse hook linger until the process is killed, the
cursor event that the hook signals may now be null, as the capture could
have stopped. If the hook fires during this time, a crash occurs.
Instead of converting every SID to string with ConvertSidToStringSidA
and compare it with the magical SID string for local system with strcmp,
we could instead create the local system SID and compare directly with
EqualSid.
We don't actually have any handles that should be inherited, so specifying
TRUE for bInheritHandles to CreateProcessAsUserA is pointless.
Furthermore, according to MSDN, "[y]ou cannot inherit handles across
sessions," and we are spawning the host in a different session, so this
is even more pointless.
Instead of doing ShellExecute from the service, we instead get the token
of the currently logged in user, and do CreateProcessAsUserA to run
notepad with that token. This should be safe.
Also for failure to parse command line. For these errors, restarting
with exponential backoff will not help: no amount of restarting the
service could possibly make the ivshmem device exist or larger, so
we shouldn't try.
Certain users of Radeon cards have observed that the host fails to start
at boot, with D3D11CreateDevice failing with HSTATUS 0x887a0004, which
translates to "The specified device interface or feature level is not
supported on this system."
This failure results in a LG_HOST_EXIT_FAILED exit code, which the service
does not attempt to restart. The user has to manually restart the service
for the host application to work.
These users reported that the host application started fine on
B2. This strongly suggests that the fix to enable capturing the login
screen made the host application start too early during the boot process,
and the graphics driver did not have time to initialize fully.
This PR allows the service to retry a few times on LG_HOST_EXIT_FAILED,
with exponential backoff, before giving up. This should cover this bug
and other similar bugs related to the early initialization which I do not
have logs for.
This commit introduces a new option, app:capture, which can be set to
either DXGI or NvFBC to force the host application to use that backend.
This is very useful for testing DXGI on Quadro cards, which would default
to running with NvFBC.
This is needed for proper cleanup.
Freeing the capture interface also avoids a crash when using the NvFBC
backend. This is because we moved the mouse hook removal to nvfbc_free.
If nvfbc_free is not called before we start freeing LGMP memory, the
mouse hook would end up writing the cursor position into an invalid
memory address, causing an access violation.
This will allow us to add an option to disable the screensaver on the client
when an application in the guest requests it. This behaviour may be useful
when the guest is doing media playback.
The mouse hook code is very fragile, and we would like to avoid unhooking
and re-hooking as much as possible.
After this commit, this is done only once, and the hook and 1x1 window is
only destroyed upon exit. This, of course, comes with the downside of
the slight performance penalty if the guest machine is used directly while
the host is running and the client is not running.
Moving NvFBCToSysSetup to nvfbc_init means that when the pointer thread
fails to be created, NvFBCToSysRelease needs to be called.
To resolve such cleanup issues in the future, we instead call nvfbc_deinit,
which should cleanup everything that needs to be cleaned up. fails.
When NvFBCToSysCapture reports recreation is required, we return
CAPTURE_RESULT_REINIT, which eventually calls nvfbc_deinit and then
nvfbc_init.
However, the NvFBC object is actually created in nvfbc_create, which
means the NvFBC object is never actually recreated. The result is an
endless cycle of NvFBC asking for recreation. This commonly manifests
as the client waiting endlessly for the host when the guest machine
reboots.
In this commit, the NvFBC object creation is moved into nvfbc_init,
and when recreation is required, it will actually be recreated.
mouseHook_install and dwmForceComposition both create threads, but these
are only freed in nvfbc_deinit which is not called if nvfbc_init fails.
These should be freed if the pointer thread fails to be created, as
nothing else could be cleaning it up.
Instead of using %windir%\Temp, which is not accessible by default and
contains a lot of unrelated files, as the location for our log files,
this commit moves it to %ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host), which will
be a dedicated directory just for the LG host log files. This applies
to both the host application logs and the service logs.
Also, we now switched to using PathCombineA from shlwapi.dll instead
of using snprintf, which greatly simplifies the code. PathCombineA
guarantees that the path would not overflow a buffer of MAX_PATH.
Before this commit, the NvFBC backend only generated the first cursor
position update when the mouse moves. Therefore, if the user does
not move the mouse, the cursor will be shown at (0, 0), which is not
ideal.
This commit changes this behaviour to unconditionally generate a
cursor update when the mouse hook initializes.
Nehalem is the minimum requirement for the host application as it makes
use of SSE4.1 instructions, as such we should default to compling with
it instead of `-march=native` so that when the binary is distributed it
will operate on foreign systems.
