Based off RE, the backing code only ever seems to use 0-2 as the range
of values 1 being a generic log enable, with 2 indicating logging should
go to the SD card. These are used as a set of flags internally.
Given we only care about receiving the log in general, we can just
always signify that we want logging in general.
This was causing some games (most notably Pokemon Quest) to softlock due to an event being fired when not supposed to. This also removes a hack wherein we were firing the state changed event when the game retrieves it, which is incorrect.
This was only ever public so that code could check whether or not a
handle was valid or not. Instead of exposing the object directly and
allowing external code to potentially mess with the map contents, we
just provide a member function that allows checking whether or not a
handle is valid.
This makes all member variables of the VMManager class private except
for the page table.
These auto-deduce the result based off its arguments, so there's no need
to do that work for the compiler, plus, the function return value itself
already indicates what we're returning.
While partially correct, this service call allows the retrieved event to
be null, as it also uses the same handle to check if it was referring to
a Process instance. The previous two changes put the necessary machinery
in place to allow for this, so we can simply call those member functions
here and be done with it.
Process instances can be waited upon for state changes. This is also
utilized by svcResetSignal, which will be modified in an upcoming
change. This simply puts all of the WaitObject related machinery in
place.
svcResetSignal relies on the event instance to have already been
signaled before attempting to reset it. If this isn't the case, then an
error code has to be returned.
This function simply does a handle table lookup for a writable event
instance identified by the given handle value. If a writable event
cannot be found for the given handle, then an invalid handle error is
returned. If a writable event is found, then it simply signals the
event, as one would expect.
svcCreateEvent operates by creating both a readable and writable event
and then attempts to add both to the current process' handle table.
If adding either of the events to the handle table fails, then the
relevant error from the handle table is returned.
If adding the readable event after the writable event to the table
fails, then the writable event is removed from the handle table and the
relevant error from the handle table is returned.
Note that since we do not currently test resource limits, we don't check
the resource limit table yet.
Two kernel object should absolutely never have the same handle ID type.
This can cause incorrect behavior when it comes to retrieving object
types from the handle table. In this case it allows converting a
WritableEvent into a ReadableEvent and vice-versa, which is undefined
behavior, since the object types are not the same.
This also corrects ClearEvent() to check both kernel types like the
kernel itself does.
Previously, ILibraryAppletAccessor would signal upon creation of any applet, but this is incorrect. A flag inside of the applet code determines whether or not creation should signal state change and swkbd happens to be one of these applets.
The kernel uses the handle table of the current process to retrieve the
process that should be used to retrieve certain information. To someone
not familiar with the kernel, this might raise the question of "Ok,
sounds nice, but doesn't this make it impossible to retrieve information
about the current process?".
No, it doesn't, because HandleTable instances in the kernel have the
notion of a "pseudo-handle", where certain values allow the kernel to
lookup objects outside of a given handle table. Currently, there's only
a pseudo-handle for the current process (0xFFFF8001) and a pseudo-handle
for the current thread (0xFFFF8000), so to retrieve the current process,
one would just pass 0xFFFF8001 into svcGetInfo.
The lookup itself in the handle table would be something like:
template <typename T>
T* Lookup(Handle handle) {
if (handle == PSEUDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_PROCESS) {
return CurrentProcess();
}
if (handle == PSUEDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_THREAD) {
return CurrentThread();
}
return static_cast<T*>(&objects[handle]);
}
which, as is shown, allows accessing the current process or current
thread, even if those two objects aren't actually within the HandleTable
instance.
Our implementation of svcGetInfo was slightly incorrect in that we
weren't doing proper error checking everywhere. Instead, reorganize it
to be similar to how the kernel seems to do it.
We can just return a new instance of this when it's requested. This only
ever holds pointers to the existing registed caches, so it's not a large
object. Plus, this also gets rid of the need to keep around a separate
member function just to properly clear out the union.
Gets rid of one of five globals in the filesystem code.
This is the same behavior-wise as DeleteDirectoryRecursively, with the
only difference being that it doesn't delete the top level directory in
the hierarchy, so given:
root_dir/
- some_dir/
- File.txt
- OtherFile.txt
The end result is just:
root_dir/
