The pusher instance is only ever used in the constructor of the
ThreadManager for creating the thread that the ThreadManager instance
contains. Aside from that, the member is unused, so it can be removed.
These functions act in tandem similar to how a lock or mutex require a
balanced lock()/unlock() sequence.
EnterFatalSection simply increments a counter for how many times it has
been called, while LeaveFatalSection ensures that a previous call to
EnterFatalSection has occured. If a previous call has occurred (the
counter is not zero), then the counter gets decremented as one would
expect. If a previous call has not occurred (the counter is zero), then
an error code is returned.
In some cases, our callbacks were using s64 as a parameter, and in other
cases, they were using an int, which is inconsistent.
To make all callbacks consistent, we can just use an s64 as the type for
late cycles, given it gets rid of the need to cast internally.
While we're at it, also resolve some signed/unsigned conversions that
were occurring related to the callback registration.
One behavior that we weren't handling properly in our heap allocation
process was the ability for the heap to be shrunk down in size if a
larger size was previously requested.
This adds the basic behavior to do so and also gets rid of HeapFree, as
it's no longer necessary now that we have allocations and deallocations
going through the same API function.
While we're at it, fully document the behavior that this function
performs.
Makes it more obvious that this function is intending to stand in for
the actual supervisor call itself, and not acting as a general heap
allocation function.
Also the following change will merge the freeing behavior of HeapFree
into this function, so leaving it as HeapAllocate would be misleading.
In cases where HeapAllocate is called with the same size of the current
heap, we can simply do nothing and return successfully.
This avoids doing work where we otherwise don't have to. This is also
what the kernel itself does in this scenario.
Another holdover from citra that can be tossed out is the notion of the
heap needing to be allocated in different addresses. On the switch, the
base address of the heap will always be managed by the memory allocator
in the kernel, so this doesn't need to be specified in the function's
interface itself.
The heap on the switch is always allocated with read/write permissions,
so we don't need to add specifying the memory permissions as part of the
heap allocation itself either.
This also corrects the error code returned from within the function.
If the size of the heap is larger than the entire heap region, then the
kernel will report an out of memory condition.
The use of a shared_ptr is an implementation detail of the VMManager
itself when mapping memory. Because of that, we shouldn't require all
users of the CodeSet to have to allocate the shared_ptr ahead of time.
It's intended that CodeSet simply pass in the required direct data, and
that the memory manager takes care of it from that point on.
This means we just do the shared pointer allocation in a single place,
when loading modules, as opposed to in each loader.
This source file was utilizing its own version of the NSO header.
Instead of keeping this around, we can have the patch manager also use
the version of the header that we have defined in loader/nso.h
The total struct itself is 0x100 (256) bytes in size, so we should be
providing that amount of data.
Without the data, this can result in omitted data from the final loaded
NSO file.
