An idle queue worker with completions pending waited on its condition
variable for 1 ms before each reap. With MinGW that wait goes through
winpthreads, which ends a timed wait on a 15.6 ms GetTickCount64 step,
so deferred end-of-pipe interrupts reached the guest about 15 ms after
the GPU had finished. On Windows the worker now sleeps with PollSleep
between reaps, and so does the wait for a wait-free submission's order
release.

On Windows the vblank thread's condition_variable::wait_until went
through winpthreads, which ends a timed wait on a 15.6 ms
GetTickCount64 step even with the scheduler tick raised to 0.5 ms.
Vblank intervals ranged from 2 ms to 34 ms instead of 16.68 ms. The
thread now sleeps to each deadline with PreciseSleepUs and checks for
a stop or a presentation failure after each sleep.

glibc 2.41+ refuses to dlopen a module without PT_GNU_STACK, so the native
part of guest_lifecycle_ownership failed on current distributions.

Opening a volume needs administrator rights, so the volume flush skipped
every volume in a normal user session. The libc, libkernel, save data and
app content file functions now record each host file and directory they
change. On Windows sceKernelSync flushes the recorded paths that changed
since the previous call, plus their changed parent directories, through
handles a normal user can open. Linux still calls sync().
wcstod, wcstof, wcstold, wcstol, wcstoll, wcstoul, wcstoull, wcscoll and wcsxfrm still forwarded to the host's wchar_t functions, which use 32-bit units on Linux. The wcsto* functions now parse the ASCII prefix of the guest string with the narrow parsers, as the C locale accepts only ASCII white space and digits. wcscoll compares like wcscmp and wcsxfrm copies, as strcoll and strxfrm do in the C locale.
Use the synthetic shader input and export state when selecting the null pixel program. Keep ordinary shader validation unchanged. Written with AI assistance.
A compute program with COMPUTE_PGM_RSRC2.SCRATCH_EN takes its per-lane private size from the AGC
shader header (scratch_size_dw_per_thread) instead of being refused. The size travels in
ShaderComputeStageInfo (cache key, request serialization version 10) to the translator, whose
scratch accesses already lower to a per-invocation Function array of that many dwords.

On the console a title whose param.json declares downloadDataSize finds
/download0 mounted from the start. The host directory was only created
by sceAppContentDownloadDataGetAvailableSpaceKb, so a title that opens
files there directly got ENOENT. libkernel now creates it when it loads,
reading only the run directory's param.json, without resolving guest
paths, so the libc path root is still fixed at first use.

Color targets with the SW_64KB_S swizzle (CB_COLOR_ATTRIB3 tile mode 9) use the standard element
order of the 4 KiB mode extended by the texture detiler's 64 KiB bits, and are resident like the
other tiled targets. The standard blocks are now wider than tall for 2- and 8-byte elements, as the
standard swizzle and the texture layout have them (they were transposed, aliasing texels).

A context that never wrote SPI_PS_INPUT_ENA or SPI_PS_INPUT_ADDR after CLEAR_STATE reads them as
zero, like the hardware, instead of refusing the draw for a missing register (a depth-only draw
whose pixel shader takes no inputs).

On the AMD Windows driver (Radeon RDNA2 iGPU, 32.0.21030.2001)
UnpackHalf2x16 of a byte-selected half converts the unmasked source
register: an SDWA BYTE_0 source of 0xfff0fff0 reads as f16 0xfff0
instead of 0x00f0, so agc_driver_sdwa_float_selectors and
agc_driver_sdwa_ldexp_f16 fail there. EmitF16BitsToF32 now decodes
sign, exponent and mantissa with integer operations, scaling
subnormals by 2^-24, which is exact for every half and leaves the
driver nothing to fold into the conversion.

Treat equal BASE_ARRAY and DEPTH as a six-face cube. Measured with image_load, image_sample and image_get_resinfo on RX 6600 gfx1032 using base slices 0, 5 and 6. Partial cube ranges still throw because filtered sampling differs from load bounds.
Graphics tests and GPU snapshot/storage sampling tests pass for all six faces at each tested base.

FreeBSD's setvbuf takes a zero size with _IOFBF or _IOLBF as "pick the
buffer size". The UCRT rejects sizes below 2 for those modes through
its invalid parameter handler, so the call failed on Windows and a test
process was terminated. A zero size now drops the given buffer and
asks the host for one of BUFSIZ bytes.

Gathering every iovec into one host buffer threw for a total above
INT_MAX, which a console readv/writev accepts, and copied the whole
transfer twice. Each iovec is now read or written in place, in chunks
of at most INT_MAX bytes. A readv on a pipe returns after one read so
it does not block once the available bytes are consumed.

sceKernelReadv, sceKernelWritev, sceKernelPreadv and sceKernelPwritev threw on Windows. They now gather or scatter through one host buffer and issue a single read or write, with the same argument checks and error codes as the Linux path. Positioned transfers restore the file offset afterwards, as pread and pwrite do on POSIX, and report ESPIPE for handles that are not disk files. guest_file_vector now runs on Windows as well.

COPY_DATA rejected source select 9 (GPU clock count) and any cache
policy bits. PPSA16064 (Minecraft Dungeons II, Unreal Engine)
calibrates its GPU timer at start-up with a submission of five
COPY_DATA packets, control 0x06016209: GPU clock source, memory
destination, 64-bit count, source and destination cache policy 3. The
submission was rejected and the title aborted.
The clock source now writes the same counter as a RELEASE_MEM
timestamp (the host steady clock in 10 ns ticks), read when the packet
runs, through the direct execute path and through ResolveStore for
stores recorded on the GPU. A 32-bit count writes its low half. The
source and destination cache policy fields are accepted and ignored,
as for WRITE_DATA and DMA_DATA. The reference clock (source select 10)
and the other unimplemented sources still throw.
agc_driver_pm4 runs the title's packet twice and checks a nonzero,
non-decreasing counter and an 8-byte resolved store, and that source
select 10 is still rejected.
MinGW's thread_local goes through emutls and winpthreads' pthread_getspecific, which holds a per-thread spinlock. A raise that redirected a thread holding it ran the handler on that same thread, and a handler reading any thread_local, scePthreadSelf for one, spun on the lock forever. A raise that finds the target inside libwinpthread-1.dll now resumes it and suspends it again, as one inside NtContinue does.
guest_raise_exception's new phase raises at a thread that calls scePthreadSelf in a loop and checks that the handler sees its own thread. It hung in every run without the retry. TechnicalDebt records that a handler can still reenter other host code the thread was interrupted in.

The guest's wchar_t is 16 bits, but wcslen, wcscmp, wcsncmp, wcscpy, wcsncpy, wcschr, wcsrchr, wcsstr, wcspbrk, wcsspn and the wmem functions forwarded to the host's wchar_t functions, which use 32-bit units on Linux. Implement them on char16_t. The wide conversions that still use the host's wchar_t are listed in TechnicalDebt.
