Keeps the CPU-specific behavior from being spread throughout the main
System class. This will also act as the home to contain member functions
that perform operations on all cores. The reason for this being that the
following pattern is sort of prevalent throughout sections of the
codebase:
If clearing the instruction cache for all 4 cores is necessary:
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(0).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(1).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(2).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(3).ClearInstructionCache();
This is kind of... well, silly to copy around whenever it's needed.
especially when it can be reduced down to a single line.
This change also puts the basics in place to begin "ungrafting" all of the
forwarding member functions from the System class that are used to
access CPU state or invoke CPU-specific behavior. As such, this change
itself makes no changes to the direct external interface of System. This
will be covered by another changeset.
While admirable as a means to ensure immutability, this has the
unfortunate downside of making the class non-movable. std::move cannot
actually perform a move operation if the provided operand has const data
members (std::move acts as an operation to "slide" resources out of an
object instance). Given Barrier contains move-only types such as
std::mutex, this can lead to confusing error messages if an object ever
contained a Barrier instance and said object was attempted to be moved.
This is also unused and superceded by standard functionality. The
standard library provides std::this_thread::sleep_for(), which provides
a much more flexible interface, as different time units can be used with
it.
This is an old function that's no longer necessary. C++11 introduced
proper threading support to the language and a thread ID can be
retrieved via std::this_thread::get_id() if it's ever needed.
This is an analog of BitSet from Dolphin that was introduced to allow
iterating over a set of bits. Given it's currently unused, and given
that std::bitset exists, we can remove this. If it's ever needed in the
future it can be brought back.
