Updated FUTEX2 System Call Patches Posted For Helping Wine/Proton, Other Use-Cases

[ssokolow]

I took to LaTeX pretty naturally, but quickly left it behind for XML Docbook. These days, I write mostly one-off docs and don't have cause for procedural generation or proper source control (or else I use a wiki). So, I've not much use for either, sadly.

Have you tried AsciiDoc? (AsciiDoctor is the most popular modern implementation) It's a Markdown-like lightweight markup system specifically designed to have a 1-to-1 mapping to DocBook XML.

Wonder if they put it back in, then. Doesn't say in the release log

in thep roton-ge git repo with tag 6.5-GE-2

I was able to find

40-proton-futex2.patch

which seems to enable futex2

I have had multiple versions - but the latest one shows "futex2 up and running" in the "Lutris log". I can for sure say that it works.

Did you get the version before they updated it removing futex2, then?

I'm using these patches since a while via xanmod kernel + proton-ge-6.5 there are for sure performance uplifts. e.g. AC:Origin benchmark has way less stutter on ultra settings.

Just a 4% performance improvement for up to 800 threads and a decrease of 21% for requeue, the numbers don't look that great yet to me. I hope there is potential to improve the performance further.

For comparing futex() and futex2() performance

What do you exactly expect here or did you just missed this part?

Futex2 v3 + Multigenerational LRU working great under optimized kernels

That sounds like a Tex derivative

Or yet another who's had more than enough of its "badness"!

Major missed opportunity. They should've called it FU2TEX!
