Apply the 32-bit CPU list on Proton builds without _NET_WM_WOW64 - #2383
The 32-bit CPU list ("Processor affinity (32-bit)", cpuListWoW64) never reached 32-bit games in X11 sessions on Proton 10 and later. Seen on a Retroid Pocket 6 with Borderlands 2 (Proton 10 arm64ec, FEX through libwow64fex): cpuList 0-7, cpuListWoW64 4-7, and every Borderlands2.exe thread showed Cpus_allowed_list: 0-7.
How the lists are applied today
The masks are built once in XServerScreen from getCPUList(true) / getCPUListWoW64(true) and handed to Win32AppWorkarounds.
X11 session: when a top-level application window maps, Win32AppWorkarounds.applyWindowWorkarounds picks the WoW64 mask if the window's _NET_WM_WOW64 X property is 1, else the main mask, and sends it with the window's _NET_WM_PID to winhandler.exe (SET_PROCESS_AFFINITY). winhandler calls SetProcessAffinityMask; wineserver sets every thread of the process with sched_setaffinity, and new threads and child processes take the process mask from wineserver, so threads created later are covered.
Gamescope session: ContainerAffinity waits for the first game content, lists processes through winhandler (which reports WoW64 from IsWow64Process) and applies the mask per process.
steam.exe is skipped, and so is the game when power control has pinned it.
Root cause _NET_WM_WOW64 comes from a Winlator winex11 patch. Proton 10 and later do not have it: the device's proton-10.0-arm64ec/lib/wine/aarch64-unix/winex11.so contains _NET_WM_PID but not _NET_WM_WOW64. So Window.isWoW64() is always false, and every 32-bit game window gets the main list. On the RP6 that list is 0-7, which matches what we saw. 64-bit games are not affected because they use the main list anyway (the Odin 3 64-bit game got 0-5 as set).
Fix
If a mapped window has no _NET_WM_WOW64 property at all, Win32AppWorkarounds gives it to ContainerAffinity.applyToWindowProcess:
If cpuListWoW64 is still the container default (the upper half of the cores), the process gets the main list, exactly as today. No process list is fetched.
If cpuListWoW64 differs from the default, meaning someone set it explicitly, a background thread takes the winhandler process list, looks up the window's PID and sends the 32-bit list when winhandler reports the process as WoW64. If the process is missing from the list or winhandler does not answer, it sends the main list.
Wine builds that do set the property work as before. The steam.exe and power-control skips still run first. Nothing changes for gamescope sessions or for 64-bit processes.
Unit tests in ContainerAffinityTest: default 32-bit list -> main mask; explicit 32-bit list -> 32-bit mask; 64-bit or unlisted process -> main mask; empty mask -> no request.
Behaviour: this does not move 32-bit games to a smaller core set unless someone asked for it. On Proton 10+ in X11 sessions, a 32-bit game whose cpuListWoW64 is the untouched default keeps getting the main CPU list, as it does today. Only an explicitly set 32-bit list changes where it runs.
Recording
None. To verify on device, while a 32-bit game is in gameplay: for t in /proc/<game pid>/task/*; do grep Cpus_allowed_list $t/status; done shows the 32-bit list on every thread, and logcat shows ContainerAffinity: Applied mask ... wow64=true.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved CPU affinity handling for application windows, including compatibility with WoW64 processes when window metadata is unavailable.
Applications are left unchanged when no matching process is found or no applicable CPU affinity is configured.
When process details are available, the configured WoW64 affinity is applied only to WoW64 processes; other processes use the main affinity setting.
Window affinity handling now checks for the WoW64 property. When it is absent, the workaround requests process information and applies the mask selected for the matching process.

Summary
Serialized process lookup and mask selection app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/powercontrol/ContainerAffinity.kt, app/src/test/java/app/gamenative/powercontrol/ContainerAffinityTest.kt
ContainerAffinity serializes window-process requests, retries process-list retrieval while the handler remains active, and selects a mask from process information. It does not set affinity when the PID or selected mask is absent. Tests cover WoW64, 64-bit, missing-process, and zero-mask cases.
Window property detection and workaround routing app/src/main/java/com/winlator/xserver/Window.java, app/src/main/java/com/winlator/core/Win32AppWorkarounds.java
Window exposes whether the WoW64 property exists. For a window without that property and with a positive PID, the workaround passes both masks to ContainerAffinity. Otherwise, it selects a mask using the window’s WoW64 state.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 981df
The change improves affinity selection for property-less windows, but some configurations and timing overlaps still request the wrong CPU list or delay its application. Merge risk is low with owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded defects.

The title names the main change: 32-bit CPU list is now applied on Proton builds that lack the _NET_WM_WOW64 property. The diff adds a fallback in Win32AppWorkarounds that routes such windows through ContainerAffinity.applyToWindowProcess, which queries winhandler's process list and sends the 32-bit mask only for processes reported as WoW64.

Avoid serial process-list waits for every window.
If process-list requests time out, 20 queued window requests can delay a later process’s affinity request by about two minutes. The queue also retains each pending request. Share or coalesce process-list work so one timeout does not delay every window.

Recheck power-control ownership before applying the queued mask.
If a game window maps before power control records the game, the request can wait until after power control pins it. The queued request then overwrites that pin with the container mask. Coordinate the ownership check with the affinity request so the later pin is preserved.

Description
The 32-bit CPU list ("Processor affinity (32-bit)",
cpuListWoW64) never reached 32-bit games in X11 sessions on Proton 10 and later. Seen on a Retroid Pocket 6 with Borderlands 2 (Proton 10 arm64ec, FEX through libwow64fex):cpuList0-7,cpuListWoW644-7, and every Borderlands2.exe thread showedCpus_allowed_list: 0-7.How the lists are applied today
XServerScreenfromgetCPUList(true)/getCPUListWoW64(true)and handed toWin32AppWorkarounds.Win32AppWorkarounds.applyWindowWorkaroundspicks the WoW64 mask if the window's_NET_WM_WOW64X property is 1, else the main mask, and sends it with the window's_NET_WM_PIDto winhandler.exe (SET_PROCESS_AFFINITY). winhandler callsSetProcessAffinityMask; wineserver sets every thread of the process withsched_setaffinity, and new threads and child processes take the process mask from wineserver, so threads created later are covered.ContainerAffinitywaits for the first game content, lists processes through winhandler (which reports WoW64 fromIsWow64Process) and applies the mask per process.Root cause
_NET_WM_WOW64comes from a Winlator winex11 patch. Proton 10 and later do not have it: the device'sproton-10.0-arm64ec/lib/wine/aarch64-unix/winex11.socontains_NET_WM_PIDbut not_NET_WM_WOW64. SoWindow.isWoW64()is always false, and every 32-bit game window gets the main list. On the RP6 that list is 0-7, which matches what we saw. 64-bit games are not affected because they use the main list anyway (the Odin 3 64-bit game got 0-5 as set).Fix
If a mapped window has no
_NET_WM_WOW64property at all,Win32AppWorkaroundsgives it toContainerAffinity.applyToWindowProcess:cpuListWoW64is still the container default (the upper half of the cores), the process gets the main list, exactly as today. No process list is fetched.cpuListWoW64differs from the default, meaning someone set it explicitly, a background thread takes the winhandler process list, looks up the window's PID and sends the 32-bit list when winhandler reports the process as WoW64. If the process is missing from the list or winhandler does not answer, it sends the main list.Wine builds that do set the property work as before. The steam.exe and power-control skips still run first. Nothing changes for gamescope sessions or for 64-bit processes.
Unit tests in
ContainerAffinityTest: default 32-bit list -> main mask; explicit 32-bit list -> 32-bit mask; 64-bit or unlisted process -> main mask; empty mask -> no request.Behaviour: this does not move 32-bit games to a smaller core set unless someone asked for it. On Proton 10+ in X11 sessions, a 32-bit game whose
cpuListWoW64is the untouched default keeps getting the main CPU list, as it does today. Only an explicitly set 32-bit list changes where it runs.Recording
None. To verify on device, while a 32-bit game is in gameplay:
for t in /proc/<game pid>/task/*; do grep Cpus_allowed_list $t/status; doneshows the 32-bit list on every thread, and logcat showsContainerAffinity: Applied mask ... wow64=true.Type of Change
