Previously, these were sitting outside of the Kernel namespace, which
doesn't really make sense, given they're related to the Thread class
which is within the Kernel namespace.
The follow-up to 88597535d6, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
Also properly keep track of data in guest memory, this fixes managing the semaphore from userland.
It was found that Semaphores are actually Condition Variables, with Release(1) and Release(-1) being equivalent to notify_one and notify_all. We should change the name of the class to reflect this.
This commit removes the overly general THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH and replaces it with two more granular statuses:
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ANY when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronization1 or WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = false.
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ALL when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = true.
Define a variable with the value of the sync timeout error code.
Use a boost::flat_map instead of an unordered_map to hold the equivalence of objects and wait indices in a WaitSynchN call.
Threads will now be awakened when the objects they're waiting on are signaled, instead of repeating the WaitSynchronization call every now and then.
The scheduler is now called once after every SVC call, and once after a thread is awakened from sleep by its timeout callback.
This new implementation is based off reverse-engineering of the real kernel.
See https://gist.github.com/Subv/02f29bd9f1e5deb7aceea1e8f019c8f4 for a more detailed description of how the real kernel handles rescheduling.
