This commit corrects an error in which a Core could remain with an
exclusive state after running, leaving space for possible race
conditions between changing cores.
Uncovered a bug within Thread's SetCoreAndAffinityMask() where an
unsigned variable (ideal_core) was being compared against "< 0", which
would always be a false condition.
We can also get rid of an unused function (GetNextProcessorId) which contained a sign
mismatch warning.
In case of redundant yields, the scheduler will now idle the core for
it's timeslice, in order to avoid continuously yielding the same thing
over and over.
Since C++17, we no longer need to explicitly specify the type of the
mutex within the lock_guard. The type system can now deduce these with
deduction guides.
Rather than make a global accessor for this sort of thing. We can make
it a part of the thread interface itself. This allows getting rid of a
hidden global accessor in the kernel code.
Avoids directly relying on the global system instance and instead makes
an arbitrary system instance an explicit dependency on construction.
This also allows removing dependencies on some global accessor functions
as well.
Gets rid of the largest set of mutable global state within the core.
This also paves a way for eliminating usages of GetInstance() on the
System class as a follow-up.
Note that no behavioral changes have been made, and this simply extracts
the functionality into a class. This also has the benefit of making
dependencies on the core timing functionality explicit within the
relevant interfaces.
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
There's no real need to use a shared pointer in these cases, and only
makes object management more fragile in terms of how easy it would be to
introduce cycles. Instead, just do the simple thing of using a regular
pointer. Much of this is just a hold-over from citra anyways.
It also doesn't make sense from a behavioral point of view for a
process' thread to prolong the lifetime of the process itself (the
process is supposed to own the thread, not the other way around).
Many of the member variables of the thread class aren't even used
outside of the class itself, so there's no need to make those variables
public. This change follows in the steps of the previous changes that
made other kernel types' members private.
The main motivation behind this is that the Thread class will likely
change in the future as emulation becomes more accurate, and letting
random bits of the emulator access data members of the Thread class
directly makes it a pain to shuffle around and/or modify internals.
Having all data members public like this also makes it difficult to
reason about certain bits of behavior without first verifying what parts
of the core actually use them.
Everything being public also generally follows the tendency for changes
to be introduced in completely different translation units that would
otherwise be better introduced as an addition to the Thread class'
public interface.
Makes the public interface consistent in terms of how accesses are done
on a process object. It also makes it slightly nicer to reason about the
logic of the process class, as we don't want to expose everything to
external code.
