Gamescope: the container CPU list (Advanced tab) reaches the game - #2342
A user reported that the CPU pinning only works on the X11 server, not under gamescope. For the container "Processor affinity" list on the Advanced tab that is true: the list is sent to a process by Win32AppWorkarounds.applyWindowWorkarounds when the in-app X server maps its first top-level window. Under gamescope the windows map on Xwayland, so that listener never fires and the list is silently ignored. Worse, an explicit list makes PowerManager.ownsGameAffinity false, so on RP6 / Odin 3 power control left the game alone as well and the game ran with no pin at all.
Fix (app only, no shim or payload change):
WinHandler gains addProcessInfoObserver / removeProcessInfoObserver, so a second receiver of the LIST_PROCESSES reply can coexist with the exit-watch listener the UI swaps in.
New ContainerAffinity, armed in the gamescope branch after PowerManager.autoStart and disarmed in exit(). It listens once for GamescopeGameContent (the daemon's "60 published frames" event that already stands in for the X11 window map in MainViewModel), then takes one process list from the winhandler and sends the container mask to each process by pid. No polling, one round trip per session. The winhandler reports whether a process is WoW64, so the 32-bit list applies the same way as on X11, with no PE parsing. Same exclusions as the X11 path (steam.exe, and the game when power control owns its affinity), plus the processes power control's background pin manages (winhandler.exe, services.exe) and Wine's own service processes (start.exe, wineboot, winedevice, plugplay, svchost, rpcss, conhost), which map no window on X11 and never got the list there either. Windowed helpers (explorer.exe, tabtip.exe, crash handlers) still get it, as on X11.
Power control's own game pin and compositor placement already ran under gamescope and are unchanged.
Unit test ContainerAffinityTest covers the mask selection rules.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Gamescope sessions now apply configured CPU affinity to eligible processes, using the appropriate settings for standard and WoW64 processes.
Affinity is applied when game content starts, or immediately if it has already started.
Processes excluded by existing power-control settings remain unaffected.
Under gamescope no window maps on the in-app X server, so the
"Processor affinity" list on the Advanced tab was never sent and,
because an explicit list hands the game affinity to the container,
power control left the game alone too. The session now polls the
winhandler's process list and sends the mask once to each new process,
64-bit or WoW64 as the winhandler reports it, with the same exclusions
as the X11 window-map path.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Gamescope sessions arm ContainerAffinity after environment setup. It waits for game content, requests process information from WinHandler, and applies selected CPU affinity masks to eligible processes. XServerScreen disarms it during view release or exit.
Changes: Container affinity

Summary
WinHandler process observers app/src/main/java/com/winlator/winhandler/WinHandler.java
WinHandler registers additional process-info observers and dispatches GET_PROCESS replies to them alongside the UI listener.
Process affinity application app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/display/GameNativeDrm.kt, app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/powercontrol/ContainerAffinity.kt, app/src/test/java/app/gamenative/powercontrol/ContainerAffinityTest.kt
ContainerAffinity waits for the first game-content event, then requests a process list with up to three attempts and a two-second timeout per attempt. It selects the regular or WoW64 mask for eligible processes, skips exclusions and zero targets, and compares masks using their low 16 bits. Tests cover mask selection and exclusions.

Start the poller when only the WoW64 mask is nonzero.
ContainerAffinity.start returns early when the primary mask is zero. It does not check the WoW64 mask. A container CPU list whose entries all have indices of 16 or higher yields primary mask 0 after toShort(), while the WoW64 list can still be nonzero. In that state, WoW64 processes get no container mask under gamescope. The X11 path in Win32AppWorkarounds applies the WoW64 mask in the same state.
Require both masks to be zero before returning. A zero selected mask is already skipped for each process.
Suggested fix

Timber.tag(TAG).i("No container CPU list, nothing to apply")

}
Update the kdoc on start. A zero mask alone no longer stops the poller. Only two zero masks do.

Add a test for the poller's affinity dispatch.

Add a test that runs one poll against a stubbed WinHandler. Assert that the expected PID and mask reach setProcessAffinity. start runs the poll loop on a background thread with a five-second delay. The poll step may need to be callable without starting that thread.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff
Order the excluded game name publication before the Gamescope poller reads it.
ContainerAffinity.start runs at XServerScreen.kt:2574-2575. PowerManager.pinGameWithRetry publishes pinnedGameProcessName later, at PowerManager.kt:1327. The poller reads that name in its poll loop after each listProcesses reply. Nothing orders the read against the publication.
The guest launcher starts synchronously before this call, so a game process can appear in the first poll. If the poller reads the name as null, it treats the game as eligible for the container mask. If its setProcessAffinity request is enqueued after the pin thread's final request, the container mask becomes the game's final affinity. The poller marks the PID applied, and the pin is not reapplied after verification. The container mask then persists until the game restarts.
The excluded game name must be published before the poller makes its first target decision.

Apply the mask to processes that start after the first snapshot.
The mask reaches only the processes listed when GamescopeGameContent fires, once per session. That event counts published frames from any window, so a launcher or Steam client can fire it before the game process starts. Keep checking for new PIDs during the session, as the removed poller did.

On master there is no ContainerAffinity line and the game stays on all cores, since the explicit list also hands the game affinity away from power control.
The 10 game threads that stay on 0-7 are linker64, the gn-vkshim threads (gn-wl-dispatch, gn-present) and a couple of Unity threads spawned from them; Wine's SetProcessAffinityMask does not reach them, and the same holds on X11.
Fixed: the event can precede the arm (apply at once when GameNativeDrm.gameContentSeen is already set); one missed 2 s reply no longer loses the list (3 attempts); disarm() also runs from the view's onRelease fallback; the skip-list test now covers every name.
Not taken: re-adding a poller for processes that start after the first game content. A recurring poll was rejected for this PR by design; a launcher that renders before the game is a known gap of the one-shot, and the process the user configures the list for is the one that renders content. If a specific launcher title needs it, that is a follow-up.
Not an issue in the one-shot form: PID reuse and the pinned-game name ordering only applied to the removed poller; the snapshot is taken after pinGameWithRetry has published the name.
Observer fan-out: both receivers tolerate a mixed snapshot (each keys on index 0 and completes on count), and the exit watch only runs at session end, after this one-shot has fired.

Description
A user reported that the CPU pinning only works on the X11 server, not under gamescope. For the container "Processor affinity" list on the Advanced tab that is true: the list is sent to a process by
Win32AppWorkarounds.applyWindowWorkaroundswhen the in-app X server maps its first top-level window. Under gamescope the windows map on Xwayland, so that listener never fires and the list is silently ignored. Worse, an explicit list makesPowerManager.ownsGameAffinityfalse, so on RP6 / Odin 3 power control left the game alone as well and the game ran with no pin at all.Fix (app only, no shim or payload change):
WinHandlergainsaddProcessInfoObserver/removeProcessInfoObserver, so a second receiver of the LIST_PROCESSES reply can coexist with the exit-watch listener the UI swaps in.ContainerAffinity, armed in the gamescope branch afterPowerManager.autoStartand disarmed inexit(). It listens once forGamescopeGameContent(the daemon's "60 published frames" event that already stands in for the X11 window map inMainViewModel), then takes one process list from the winhandler and sends the container mask to each process by pid. No polling, one round trip per session. The winhandler reports whether a process is WoW64, so the 32-bit list applies the same way as on X11, with no PE parsing. Same exclusions as the X11 path (steam.exe, and the game when power control owns its affinity), plus the processes power control's background pin manages (winhandler.exe, services.exe) and Wine's own service processes (start.exe, wineboot, winedevice, plugplay, svchost, rpcss, conhost), which map no window on X11 and never got the list there either. Windowed helpers (explorer.exe, tabtip.exe, crash handlers) still get it, as on X11.Unit test
ContainerAffinityTestcovers the mask selection rules.Recording
