Extracts out all of the thread local storage management from thread
instances themselves and makes the owning process handle the management
of the memory. This brings the memory management slightly more in line
with how the kernel handles these allocations.
Furthermore, this also makes the TLS page management a little more
readable compared to the lingering implementation that was carried over
from Citra.
The old implementation had faulty Threadsafe methods where events could
be missing. This implementation unifies unsafe/safe methods and makes
core timing thread safe overall.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 the kernel, there isn't a singular handle table that everything gets
tossed into or used, rather, each process gets its own handle table that
it uses. This currently isn't an issue for us, since we only execute one
process at the moment, but we may as well get this out of the way so
it's not a headache later on.
Regular value initialization is adequate here for zeroing out data. It
also has the benefit of not invoking undefined behavior if a non-trivial
type is ever added to the struct for whatever reason.
There's no real need to use a shared pointer in these cases, and only
makes object management more fragile in terms of how easy it would be to
introduce cycles. Instead, just do the simple thing of using a regular
pointer. Much of this is just a hold-over from citra anyways.
It also doesn't make sense from a behavioral point of view for a
process' thread to prolong the lifetime of the process itself (the
process is supposed to own the thread, not the other way around).
Conceptually, it doesn't make sense for a thread to be able to persist
the lifetime of a scheduler. A scheduler should be taking care of the
threads; the threads should not be taking care of the scheduler.
If the threads outlive the scheduler (or we simply don't actually
terminate/shutdown the threads), then it should be considered a bug
that we need to fix.
Attributing this to balika011, as they opened #1317 to attempt to fix
this in a similar way, but my refactoring of the kernel code caused
quite a few conflicts.
Many of the member variables of the thread class aren't even used
outside of the class itself, so there's no need to make those variables
public. This change follows in the steps of the previous changes that
made other kernel types' members private.
The main motivation behind this is that the Thread class will likely
change in the future as emulation becomes more accurate, and letting
random bits of the emulator access data members of the Thread class
directly makes it a pain to shuffle around and/or modify internals.
Having all data members public like this also makes it difficult to
reason about certain bits of behavior without first verifying what parts
of the core actually use them.
Everything being public also generally follows the tendency for changes
to be introduced in completely different translation units that would
otherwise be better introduced as an addition to the Thread class'
public interface.
Makes the public interface consistent in terms of how accesses are done
on a process object. It also makes it slightly nicer to reason about the
logic of the process class, as we don't want to expose everything to
external code.
The locations of these can actually vary depending on the address space
layout, so we shouldn't be using these when determining where to map
memory or be using them as offsets for calculations. This keeps all the
memory ranges flexible and malleable based off of the virtual memory
manager instance state.
The owning process of a thread is required to exist before the thread,
so we can enforce this API-wise by using a reference. We can also avoid
the reliance on the system instance by using that parameter to access
the page table that needs to be set.
This modifies the CPU interface to more accurately match an
AArch64-supporting CPU as opposed to an ARM11 one. Two of the methods
don't even make sense to keep around for this interface, as Adv Simd is
used, rather than the VFP in the primary execution state. This is
essentially a modernization change that should have occurred from the
get-go.
The follow-up to e2457418da, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
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.
