This reduces the boilerplate that services have to write out the current thread explicitly. Using current thread instead of client thread is also semantically incorrect, and will be a problem when we implement multicore (at which time there will be multiple current threads)
This corrects cases where it was possible to write more entries into the
write buffer than were requested. Now, we check the size of the buffer
before actually writing into them.
We were also returning the wrong value for
GetAvailableLanguageCodeCount2(). This was previously returning 64, but
only 17 should have been returned. 64 entries is the size of the static
array used in MakeLanguageCode() within the service binary itself, but
isn't the actual total number of language codes present.
Also introduced in REV5 was a variable-size audio command buffer. This
also affects how the size of the work buffer should be determined, so we
can add handling for this as well.
Thankfully, no other alterations were made to how the work buffer size
is calculated in 7.0.0-8.0.0. There were indeed changes made to to how
some of the actual audio commands are generated though (particularly in
REV7), however they don't apply here.
Introduced in REV5. This is trivial to add support for, now that
everything isn't a mess of random magic constant values.
All this is, is a change in data type sizes as far as this function
cares.
"Unmagics" quite a few magic constants within this code, making it much
easier to understand. Particularly given this factors out specific
sections into their own self-contained lambda functions.
These are actually quite important indicators of thread lifetimes, so
they should be going into the debug log, rather than being treated as
misc info and delegated to the trace log.
Makes the code much nicer to follow in terms of behavior and control
flow. It also fixes a few bugs in the implementation.
Notably, the thread's owner process shouldn't be accessed in order to
retrieve the core mask or ideal core. This should be done through the
current running process. The only reason this bug wasn't encountered yet
is because we currently only support running one process, and thus every
owner process will be the current process.
We also weren't checking against the process' CPU core mask to see if an
allowed core is specified or not.
With this out of the way, it'll be less noisy to implement proper
handling of the affinity flags internally within the kernel thread
instances.
Provides serialization/deserialization to the database in system save files, accessors for database state and proper handling of both major Mii formats (MiiInfo and MiiStoreData)
This is a holdover from Citra, where the 3DS has both
WaitSynchronization1 and WaitSynchronizationN. The switch only has one
form of wait synchronizing (literally WaitSynchonization). This allows
us to throw out code that doesn't apply at all to the Switch kernel.
Because of this unnecessary dichotomy within the wait synchronization
utilities, we were also neglecting to properly handle waiting on
multiple objects.
While we're at it, we can also scrub out any lingering references to
WaitSynchronization1/WaitSynchronizationN in comments, and change them
to WaitSynchronization (or remove them if the mention no longer
applies).
The actual behavior of this function is slightly more complex than what
we're currently doing within the supervisor call. To avoid dumping most
of this behavior in the supervisor call itself, we can migrate this to
another function.
This member variable is entirely unused. It was only set but never
actually utilized. Given that, we can remove it to get rid of noise in
the thread interface.
Essentially performs the inverse of svcMapProcessCodeMemory. This unmaps
the aliasing region first, then restores the general traits of the
aliased memory.
What this entails, is:
- Restoring Read/Write permissions to the VMA.
- Restoring its memory state to reflect it as a general heap memory region.
- Clearing the memory attributes on the region.
This gives us significantly more control over where in the
initialization process we start execution of the main process.
Previously we were running the main process before the CPU or GPU
threads were initialized (not good). This amends execution to start
after all of our threads are properly set up.
Initially required due to the split codepath with how the initial main
process instance was initialized. We used to initialize the process
like:
Init() {
main_process = Process::Create(...);
kernel.MakeCurrentProcess(main_process.get());
}
Load() {
const auto load_result = loader.Load(*kernel.GetCurrentProcess());
if (load_result != Loader::ResultStatus::Success) {
// Handle error here.
}
...
}
which presented a problem.
Setting a created process as the main process would set the page table
for that process as the main page table. This is fine... until we get to
the part that the page table can have its size changed in the Load()
function via NPDM metadata, which can dictate either a 32-bit, 36-bit,
or 39-bit usable address space.
Now that we have full control over the process' creation in load, we can
simply set the initial process as the main process after all the loading
is done, reflecting the potential page table changes without any
special-casing behavior.
We can also remove the cache flushing within LoadModule(), as execution
wouldn't have even begun yet during all usages of this function, now
that we have the initialization order cleaned up.
Our initialization process is a little wonky than one would expect when
it comes to code flow. We initialize the CPU last, as opposed to
hardware, where the CPU obviously needs to be first, otherwise nothing
else would work, and we have code that adds checks to get around this.
For example, in the page table setting code, we check to see if the
system is turned on before we even notify the CPU instances of a page
table switch. This results in dead code (at the moment), because the
only time a page table switch will occur is when the system is *not*
running, preventing the emulated CPU instances from being notified of a
page table switch in a convenient manner (technically the code path
could be taken, but we don't emulate the process creation svc handlers
yet).
This moves the threads creation into its own member function of the core
manager and restores a little order (and predictability) to our
initialization process.
Previously, in the multi-threaded cases, we'd kick off several threads
before even the main kernel process was created and ready to execute (gross!).
Now the initialization process is like so:
Initialization:
1. Timers
2. CPU
3. Kernel
4. Filesystem stuff (kind of gross, but can be amended trivially)
5. Applet stuff (ditto in terms of being kind of gross)
6. Main process (will be moved into the loading step in a following
change)
7. Telemetry (this should be initialized last in the future).
8. Services (4 and 5 should ideally be alongside this).
9. GDB (gross. Uses namespace scope state. Needs to be refactored into a
class or booted altogether).
10. Renderer
11. GPU (will also have its threads created in a separate step in a
following change).
Which... isn't *ideal* per-se, however getting rid of the wonky
intertwining of CPU state initialization out of this mix gets rid of
most of the footguns when it comes to our initialization process.
Some objects declare their handle type as const, while others declare it
as constexpr. This makes the const ones constexpr for consistency, and
prevent unexpected compilation errors if these happen to be attempted to be
used within a constexpr context.
These indicate options that alter how a read/write is performed.
Currently we don't need to handle these, as the only one that seems to
be used is for writes, but all the custom options ever seem to do is
immediate flushing, which we already do by default.
We need to ensure dynarmic gets a valid pointer if the page table is
resized (the relevant pointers would be invalidated in this scenario).
In this scenario, the page table can be resized depending on what kind
of address space is specified within the NPDM metadata (if it's
present).
Adjusts the interface of the wrappers to take a system reference, which
allows accessing a system instance without using the global accessors.
This also allows getting rid of all global accessors within the
supervisor call handling code. While this does make the wrappers
themselves slightly more noisy, this will be further cleaned up in a
follow-up. This eliminates the global system accessors in the current
code while preserving the existing interface.
Keeps the return type consistent with the function name. While we're at
it, we can also reduce the amount of boilerplate involved with handling
these by using structured bindings.
