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.
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.
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
Switch mutexes are no longer kernel objects, they are managed in userland and only use the kernel to handle the contention case.
Mutex addresses store a special flag value (0x40000000) to notify the guest code that there are still some threads waiting for the mutex to be released. This flag is updated when a thread calls ArbitrateUnlock.
TODO:
* Fix svcWaitProcessWideKey
* Fix svcSignalProcessWideKey
* Remove the Mutex class.
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.
During normal operation, a thread waiting on an WaitObject and the
object hold mutual references to each other for the duration of the
wait.
If a process is forcefully terminated (The CTR kernel has a SVC to do
this, TerminateProcess, though no equivalent exists for threads.) its
threads would also be stopped and destroyed, leaving dangling pointers
in the WaitObjects.
The solution is to simply have the Thread remove itself from WaitObjects
when it is stopped. The vector of Threads in WaitObject has also been
changed to hold SharedPtrs, just in case. (Better to have a reference
cycle than a crash.)
This should speed up compile times a bit, as well as enable more liberal
use of forward declarations. (Due to SharedPtr not trying to emit the
destructor anymore.)
All service calls in the CTR OS return result codes indicating the
success or failure of the call. Previous to this commit, Citra's HLE
emulation of services and the kernel universally either ignored errors
or returned dummy -1 error codes.
This commit makes an initial effort to provide an infrastructure for
error reporting and propagation which can be use going forward to make
HLE calls accurately return errors as the original system. A few parts
of the code have been updated to use the new system where applicable.
One part of this effort is the definition of the `ResultCode` type,
which provides facilities for constructing and parsing error codes in
the structured format used by the CTR.
The `ResultVal` type builds on `ResultCode` by providing a container for
values returned by function that can report errors. It enforces that
correct error checking will be done on function returns by preventing
the use of the return value if the function returned an error code.
Currently this change is mostly internal since errors are still
suppressed on the ARM<->HLE border, as a temporary compatibility hack.
As functionality is implemented and tested this hack can be eventually
removed.
