This is a holdover from Citra, where the 3DS has both
WaitSynchronization1 and WaitSynchronizationN. The switch only has one
form of wait synchronizing (literally WaitSynchonization). This allows
us to throw out code that doesn't apply at all to the Switch kernel.
Because of this unnecessary dichotomy within the wait synchronization
utilities, we were also neglecting to properly handle waiting on
multiple objects.
While we're at it, we can also scrub out any lingering references to
WaitSynchronization1/WaitSynchronizationN in comments, and change them
to WaitSynchronization (or remove them if the mention no longer
applies).
The actual behavior of this function is slightly more complex than what
we're currently doing within the supervisor call. To avoid dumping most
of this behavior in the supervisor call itself, we can migrate this to
another function.
This member variable is entirely unused. It was only set but never
actually utilized. Given that, we can remove it to get rid of noise in
the thread interface.
Essentially performs the inverse of svcMapProcessCodeMemory. This unmaps
the aliasing region first, then restores the general traits of the
aliased memory.
What this entails, is:
- Restoring Read/Write permissions to the VMA.
- Restoring its memory state to reflect it as a general heap memory region.
- Clearing the memory attributes on the region.
This gives us significantly more control over where in the
initialization process we start execution of the main process.
Previously we were running the main process before the CPU or GPU
threads were initialized (not good). This amends execution to start
after all of our threads are properly set up.
Initially required due to the split codepath with how the initial main
process instance was initialized. We used to initialize the process
like:
Init() {
main_process = Process::Create(...);
kernel.MakeCurrentProcess(main_process.get());
}
Load() {
const auto load_result = loader.Load(*kernel.GetCurrentProcess());
if (load_result != Loader::ResultStatus::Success) {
// Handle error here.
}
...
}
which presented a problem.
Setting a created process as the main process would set the page table
for that process as the main page table. This is fine... until we get to
the part that the page table can have its size changed in the Load()
function via NPDM metadata, which can dictate either a 32-bit, 36-bit,
or 39-bit usable address space.
Now that we have full control over the process' creation in load, we can
simply set the initial process as the main process after all the loading
is done, reflecting the potential page table changes without any
special-casing behavior.
We can also remove the cache flushing within LoadModule(), as execution
wouldn't have even begun yet during all usages of this function, now
that we have the initialization order cleaned up.
Our initialization process is a little wonky than one would expect when
it comes to code flow. We initialize the CPU last, as opposed to
hardware, where the CPU obviously needs to be first, otherwise nothing
else would work, and we have code that adds checks to get around this.
For example, in the page table setting code, we check to see if the
system is turned on before we even notify the CPU instances of a page
table switch. This results in dead code (at the moment), because the
only time a page table switch will occur is when the system is *not*
running, preventing the emulated CPU instances from being notified of a
page table switch in a convenient manner (technically the code path
could be taken, but we don't emulate the process creation svc handlers
yet).
This moves the threads creation into its own member function of the core
manager and restores a little order (and predictability) to our
initialization process.
Previously, in the multi-threaded cases, we'd kick off several threads
before even the main kernel process was created and ready to execute (gross!).
Now the initialization process is like so:
Initialization:
1. Timers
2. CPU
3. Kernel
4. Filesystem stuff (kind of gross, but can be amended trivially)
5. Applet stuff (ditto in terms of being kind of gross)
6. Main process (will be moved into the loading step in a following
change)
7. Telemetry (this should be initialized last in the future).
8. Services (4 and 5 should ideally be alongside this).
9. GDB (gross. Uses namespace scope state. Needs to be refactored into a
class or booted altogether).
10. Renderer
11. GPU (will also have its threads created in a separate step in a
following change).
Which... isn't *ideal* per-se, however getting rid of the wonky
intertwining of CPU state initialization out of this mix gets rid of
most of the footguns when it comes to our initialization process.
Some objects declare their handle type as const, while others declare it
as constexpr. This makes the const ones constexpr for consistency, and
prevent unexpected compilation errors if these happen to be attempted to be
used within a constexpr context.
We need to ensure dynarmic gets a valid pointer if the page table is
resized (the relevant pointers would be invalidated in this scenario).
In this scenario, the page table can be resized depending on what kind
of address space is specified within the NPDM metadata (if it's
present).
Adjusts the interface of the wrappers to take a system reference, which
allows accessing a system instance without using the global accessors.
This also allows getting rid of all global accessors within the
supervisor call handling code. While this does make the wrappers
themselves slightly more noisy, this will be further cleaned up in a
follow-up. This eliminates the global system accessors in the current
code while preserving the existing interface.
Keeps the return type consistent with the function name. While we're at
it, we can also reduce the amount of boilerplate involved with handling
these by using structured bindings.
We need to be checking whether or not the given address is within the
kernel address space or if the given address isn't word-aligned and bail
in these scenarios instead of trashing any kernel state.
Given server sessions can be given a name, we should allow retrieving
it instead of using the default implementation of GetName(), which would
just return "[UNKNOWN KERNEL OBJECT]".
The AddressArbiter type isn't actually used, given the arbiter itself
isn't a direct kernel object (or object that implements the wait object
facilities).
Given this, we can remove the enum entry entirely.
Similarly like svcGetProcessList, this retrieves the list of threads
from the current process. In the kernel itself, a process instance
maintains a list of threads, which are used within this function.
Threads are registered to a process' thread list at thread
initialization, and unregistered from the list upon thread destruction
(if said thread has a non-null owning process).
We assert on the debug event case, as we currently don't implement
kernel debug objects.
Now that ShouldWait() is a const qualified member function, this one can
be made const qualified as well, since it can handle passing a const
qualified this pointer to ShouldWait().
Previously this was performing a u64 + int sign conversion. When dealing
with addresses, we should generally be keeping the arithmetic in the
same signedness type.
This also gets rid of the static lifetime of the constant, as there's no
need to make a trivial type like this potentially live for the entire
duration of the program.
This doesn't really provide any benefit to the resource limit interface.
There's no way for callers to any of the service functions for resource
limits to provide a custom name, so all created instances of resource
limits other than the system resource limit would have a name of
"Unknown".
The system resource limit itself is already trivially identifiable from
its limit values, so there's no real need to take up space in the object to
identify one object meaningfully out of N total objects.
Since C++17, the introduction of deduction guides for locking facilities
means that we no longer need to hardcode the mutex type into the locks
themselves, making it easier to switch mutex types, should it ever be
necessary in the future.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
