Based off RE, most of these structure members are register values, which
makes, sense given this service is used to convey fatal errors.
One member indicates the program entry point address, one is a set of
bit flags used to determine which registers to print, and one member
indicates the architecture type.
The only member that still isn't determined is the final member within
the data structure.
The kernel makes sure that the given size to unmap is always the same
size as the entire region managed by the shared memory instance,
otherwise it returns an error code signifying an invalid size.
This is similarly done for transfer memory (which we already check for).
This was initially added to prevent problems from stubbed/not implemented NFC services, but as we never encountered such and as it's only used in a deprecated function anyway, I guess we can just remove it to prevent more clutter of the settings.
Reports the (mostly) correct size through svcGetInfo now for queries to
total used physical memory. This still doesn't correctly handle memory
allocated via svcMapPhysicalMemory, however, we don't currently handle
that case anyways.
This will make operating with the process-related SVC commands much
nicer in the future (the parameter representing the stack size in
svcStartProcess is a 64-bit value).
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.
Makes it more evident that one is for actual code and one is for actual
data. Mutable and static are less than ideal terms here, because
read-only data is technically not mutable, but we were mapping it with
that label.
In 93da8e0abf, the page table construct
was moved to the common library (which utilized these inclusions). Since
the move, nothing requires these headers to be included within the
memory header.
- GPU will be released on shutdown, before pages are unmapped.
- On subsequent runs, current_page_table will be not nullptr, but GPU might not be valid yet.
Given this is utilized by the loaders, this allows avoiding inclusion of
the kernel process definitions where avoidable.
This also keeps the loading format for all executable data separate from
the kernel objects.
