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.
Neither the NRO or NSO loaders actually make use of the functions or
members provided by the Linker interface, so we can just remove the
inheritance altogether.
This function passes in the desired main applet and library applet
volume levels. We can then just pass those values back within the
relevant volume getter functions, allowing us to unstub those as well.
The initial values for the library and main applet volumes differ. The
main applet volume is 0.25 by default, while the library applet volume
is initialized to 1.0 by default in the services themselves.
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.
This condition was checking against the nominal thread priority, whereas
the kernel itself checks against the current priority instead. We were
also assigning the nominal priority, when we should be assigning
current_priority, which takes priority inheritance into account.
This can lead to the incorrect priority being assigned to a thread.
Given we recursively update the relevant threads, we don't need to go
through the whole mutex waiter list. This matches what the kernel does
as well (only accessing the first entry within the waiting list).
Makes it an instantiable class like it is in the actual kernel. This
will also allow removing reliance on global accessors in a following
change, now that we can encapsulate a reference to the system instance
in the class.
Within the kernel, shared memory and transfer memory facilities exist as
completely different kernel objects. They also have different validity
checking as well. Therefore, we shouldn't be treating the two as the
same kind of memory.
They also differ in terms of their behavioral aspect as well. Shared
memory is intended for sharing memory between processes, while transfer
memory is intended to be for transferring memory to other processes.
This breaks out the handling for transfer memory into its own class and
treats it as its own kernel object. This is also important when we
consider resource limits as well. Particularly because transfer memory
is limited by the resource limit value set for it.
While we currently don't handle resource limit testing against objects
yet (but we do allow setting them), this will make implementing that
behavior much easier in the future, as we don't need to distinguish
between shared memory and transfer memory allocations in the same place.
With this, all kernel objects finally have all of their data members
behind an interface, making it nicer to reason about interactions with
other code (as external code no longer has the freedom to totally alter
internals and potentially messing up invariants).
After doing a little more reading up on the Opus codec, it turns out
that the multistream API that is part of libopus can handle regular
packets. Regular packets are just a degenerate case of multistream Opus
packets, and all that's necessary is to pass the number of streams as 1
and provide a basic channel mapping, then everything works fine for
that case.
This allows us to get rid of the need to use both APIs in the future
when implementing multistream variants in a follow-up PR, greatly
simplifying the code that needs to be written.
