The old "Interface" class had a few problems such as using free
functions (Which didn't allow you to write the service handler as if it
were a regular class.) which weren't very extensible. (Only received one
parameter with a pointer to the Interface object.)
The new ServiceFramework aims to solve these problems by working with
member functions and passing a generic context struct as parameter. This
struct can be extended in the future without having to update all
existing service implementations.
This allows attaching a HLE handle to a ServerPort at any point after it
is created, allowing port/session creation to be generic between HLE and
regular services.
This replaces the hardcoded VRAM/DSP mappings with ones made based on
the ExHeader ARM11 Kernel caps list. While this has no visible effect
for most applications (since they use a standard set of mappings) it
does improve support for system modules and n3DS exclusives.
Corrects a few issues with regards to Doxygen documentation, for example:
- Incorrect parameter referencing.
- Missing @param tags.
- Typos in @param tags.
and a few minor other issues.
After hwtesting and reverse engineering the kernel, it was found that the CTROS scheduler performs no priority boosting for threads like this, although some other forms of scheduling priority-starved threads might take place.
For example, it was found that hardware interrupts might cause low-priority threads to run if the CPU is preempted in the middle of an SVC handler that deschedules the current (high priority) thread before scheduling it again.
This fixes a potential bug where threads would not get removed from said list if they awoke after waiting with WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = false
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.
The implementation is based on reverse engineering of the 3DS's kernel.
A mutex holder's priority will be temporarily boosted to the best priority among any threads that want to acquire any of its held mutexes.
When the holder releases the mutex, it's priority will be boosted to the best priority among the threads that want to acquire any of its remaining held mutexes.
