Our Qt backend has long been left behind and doesn't even support Vulkan
currently. There would be a lot of work to make it viable, and I don't
think anyone is really interested.
ImGui on SDL will soon fulfill the need for a more classic user interface
with a menu bar on Linux, and on Mac we already have a native UI.
libretro/libretro_vulkan.cpp got PPSSPP's libretro core working with
RetroArch's Vulkan integration by globally monkey-patching PPSSPP's Vulkan
loader function pointers (vkCreateInstance, vkCreateDevice,
vkCreateSwapchainKHR, vkAcquireNextImageKHR, vkQueuePresentKHR,
vkQueueSubmit, etc.) so the unmodified VulkanContext class would end up
wrapping RetroArch's already-existing VkInstance/VkDevice instead of
creating its own, and so a fake VkSwapchainKHR (a self-managed array of
images synced against RetroArch's retro_hw_render_interface_vulkan
callbacks) could stand in for the real swapchain that libretro's Vulkan
model doesn't have. Flagged in-code as "a wacky wrapper".
Replaces that with first-class support in VulkanContext for the two things
libretro actually needs:
- Adopting an externally-created instance/device instead of faking
vkCreateInstance/vkCreateDevice: VulkanContext::CreateInstanceExternal()
adopts RetroArch's VkInstance; CreateDevice() gained optional
extraDeviceExtensions/extraRequiredFeatures params so RetroArch's
requirements get merged into a real vkCreateDevice() call;
ownsInstance_/ownsDevice_ flags (the latter set via
SetDeviceExternallyOwned()) mean DestroyInstance()/DestroyDevice() skip
the real vkDestroy* calls when something else owns the object, without
needing to intercept anything. VulkanLoader gained
VulkanLoadFromGetInstanceProcAddr() for bootstrapping from a
host-supplied proc-addr getter instead of dlopen/dlsym-ing the loader
ourselves - vkGetDeviceProcAddr is resolved via the real instance handle
(not NULL), since per the Vulkan spec it's not one of the handful of
commands queryable with a NULL instance.
- A pluggable presentation backend (Common/GPU/Vulkan/VulkanPresentation.h)
for hosts with no real VK_KHR_swapchain, replacing the fake-swapchain-
handle trick. VulkanContext::GetPresentation() is null by default, so
every existing platform's real-swapchain code path is untouched;
libretro/LibretroVulkanPresentation implements this interface directly
against retro_hw_render_interface_vulkan, as real class state instead of
file-scope globals. Several pieces of state that are normally only
populated as a side effect of ReinitSurface()/InitSwapchain() - the
graphics queue/queue family index (ChooseQueue() is entangled with
real-surface presentation-support checks), the swapchain format, and
the available present modes - needed presentation-aware fallbacks since
libretro never calls that real-surface path at all.
libretro/LibretroVulkanContext.cpp now drives VulkanContext's real, public
API directly - no more hijacked function pointers, no more fake surface or
swapchain. libretro/libretro_vulkan.cpp is deleted.
Verified with a full build+run in RetroArch (not just compile-time
checks): the libretro Makefile doesn't track header dependencies
(cl.exe doesn't support -MMD/-MP, and Makefile.common never sets up an
equivalent), so a `make clean` full rebuild is required after any header
change to avoid linking stale object code from before the change - several
of the fixes above were initially masked by exactly that.

On Linux Wayland however this can be observed without:
34:25:550 Vulkan/VulkanContext.cpp:1401 I[G3D]: surfCapabilities_.current: -1x-1
34:25:550 Vulkan/VulkanContext.cpp:1406 I[G3D]: surfCapabilities_.current after clamp: -1x-1 min: 1x1 max: 32768x32768 computed: 1x1 cbdraw
- InitContextFromTrackInfo now rejects files where sampleSize (from
blockAlign) exceeds the buffer size, instead of only clamping later in
DecodeForSas. Keep the DecodeForSas check as defense-in-depth since a
large buffer could still allow a crafted packet to overflow the fixed
assembly buffer.
- CChunkFileReader::Verify now returns ERROR_BROKEN_STATE if bounds
checking fails, so modified savestates are rejected here too.
PointerWrap tracked no end-of-buffer, so DoState() implementations could
read past the end of a crafted or truncated savestate via DoVoid's
unchecked memcpy, and DoVector could resize to an attacker-controlled
size before reading.
- PointerWrap now tracks a read end; DoVoid/ExpectVoid fail (MODE_NOOP)
before reading out of bounds.
- String reads are bounds-checked for the whole string including NUL.
- DoVector rejects sizes that can't fit in the remaining buffer.
- LoadPtr takes the buffer size and sets the read end.
- Capping the decompression buffer allocation in LoadFile.
pngLoadPtr allocated the decoded buffer directly from attacker-controlled
PNG IHDR dimensions with no upper bound, so browsing a crafted game icon
or savedata could trigger a multi-gigabyte allocation.
- Add maxWidth/maxHeight parameters to pngLoadPtr (default 8192x8192)
and reject images larger than the limits.
- Thread the limits through LoadTextureLevelsFromFileData,
CreateTextureFromFileData, and CreateTextureFromFile.
- Limit game icons to 256x128 in GameInfoCache and IconCache.
FixedSizeQueue::DoState serializes the entire fixed backing store. For
the sceAudio channel queues that is 512KB per channel (32768*8 s16
samples), or ~4.6MB of mostly dead bytes in every savestate across the
nine channels - the live sample count at any moment is normally a few
KB. This addresses the existing TODO in DoState.
Add DoStateCompact(), which stores only the live [head, head+count)
region and restores it linearized at the front of storage. A wrapped
live region is written as its two pieces in pop order; since the POD
DoArray path writes raw bytes with no per-element or per-call header,
the single linear read on load consumes them identically. The count is
validated on load and a bad value fails the load cleanly via
p.SetError.
AudioChannel bumps its section to v3 to use the compact form; old
states still load through the unchanged full-storage path. This shrinks
every savestate by several MB uncompressed and cuts the copy/compress
cost of each save, including the rewind feature's periodic states.
