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.
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).
There's no real need to use a shared lifetime here, since we don't
actually expose them to anything else. This is also kind of an
unnecessary use of the heap given the objects themselves are so small;
small enough, in fact that changing over to optionals actually reduces
the overall size of the HLERequestContext struct (818 bytes to 808
bytes).
Now that we have the address arbiter extracted to its own class, we can
fix an innaccuracy with the kernel. Said inaccuracy being that there
isn't only one address arbiter. Each process instance contains its own
AddressArbiter instance in the actual kernel.
This fixes that and gets rid of another long-standing issue that could
arise when attempting to create more than one process.
Similar to how WaitForAddress was isolated to its own function, we can
also move the necessary conditional checking into the address arbiter
class itself, allowing us to hide the implementation details of it from
public use.
Rather than let the service call itself work out which function is the
proper one to call, we can make that a behavior of the arbiter itself,
so we don't need to directly expose those implementation details.
Places all of the functions for address arbiter operation into a class.
This will be necessary for future deglobalizing efforts related to both
the memory and system itself.
Removes a few inclusion dependencies from the headers or replaces
existing ones with ones that don't indirectly include the required
headers.
This allows removing an inclusion of core/memory.h, meaning that if the
memory header is ever changed in the future, it won't result in
rebuilding the entirety of the HLE services (as the IPC headers are used
quite ubiquitously throughout the HLE service implementations).
Avoids directly relying on the global system instance and instead makes
an arbitrary system instance an explicit dependency on construction.
This also allows removing dependencies on some global accessor functions
as well.
Given we already pass in a reference to the kernel that the shared
memory instance is created under, we can just use that to check the
current process, rather than using the global accessor functions.
This allows removing direct dependency on the system instance entirely.
The kernel allows restricting the total size of the handle table through
the process capability descriptors. Until now, this functionality wasn't
hooked up. With this, the process handle tables become properly restricted.
In the case of metadata-less executables, the handle table will assume
the maximum size is requested, preserving the behavior that existed
before these changes.
A fairly trivial change. Other sections of the codebase use nested
namespaces instead of separate namespaces here. This one must have just
been overlooked.
Gets rid of the largest set of mutable global state within the core.
This also paves a way for eliminating usages of GetInstance() on the
System class as a follow-up.
Note that no behavioral changes have been made, and this simply extracts
the functionality into a class. This also has the benefit of making
dependencies on the core timing functionality explicit within the
relevant interfaces.
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
A holdover from citra, the Horizon kernel on the switch has no
prominent kernel object that functions as a timer. At least not
to the degree of sophistication that this class provided.
As such, this can be removed entirely. This class also wasn't used at
all in any meaningful way within the core, so this was just code sitting
around doing nothing. This also allows removing a few things from the
main KernelCore class that allows it to use slightly less resources
overall (though very minor and not anything really noticeable).
No inheritors of the WaitObject class actually make use of their own
implementations of these functions, so they can be made non-virtual.
It's also kind of sketchy to allow overriding how the threads get added
to the list anyways, given the kernel itself on the actual hardware
doesn't seem to customize based off this.
Looking into the implementation of the C++ standard facilities that seem
to be within all modules, it appears that they use 7 as a break reason
to indicate an uncaught C++ exception.
This was primarily found via the third last function called within
Horizon's equivalent of libcxxabi's demangling_terminate_handler(),
which passes the value 0x80000007 to svcBreak.
This is a bounds check to ensure that the thread priority is within the
valid range of 0-64. If it exceeds 64, that doesn't necessarily mean
that an actual priority of 64 was expected (it actually means whoever
called the function screwed up their math).
Instead clarify the message to indicate the allowed range of thread
priorities.
Now that we handle the kernel capability descriptors we can correct
CreateThread to properly check against the core and priority masks
like the actual kernel does.
This makes the naming more closely match its meaning. It's just a
preferred core, not a required default core. This also makes the usages
of this term consistent across the thread and process implementations.
This function isn't a general purpose function that should be exposed to
everything, given it's specific to initializing the main thread for a
Process instance.
Given that, it's a tad bit more sensible to place this within
process.cpp, which keeps it visible only to the code that actually needs
it.
In all cases that these functions are needed, the VMManager can just be
retrieved and used instead of providing the same functions in Process'
interface.
This also makes it a little nicer dependency-wise, since it gets rid of
cases where the VMManager interface was being used, and then switched
over to using the interface for a Process instance. Instead, it makes
all accesses uniform and uses the VMManager instance for all necessary
tasks.
All the basic memory mapping functions did was forward to the Process'
VMManager instance anyways.
Similar to the service capability flags, however, we currently don't
emulate the GIC, so this currently handles all interrupts as being valid
for the time being.
Handles the priority mask and core mask flags to allow building up the
masks to determine the usable thread priorities and cores for a kernel
process instance.
