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).
We already have the thread instance that was created under the current
process, so we can just pass the handle table of it along to retrieve
the owner of the mutex.
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).
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.
Two kernel object should absolutely never have the same handle ID type.
This can cause incorrect behavior when it comes to retrieving object
types from the handle table. In this case it allows converting a
WritableEvent into a ReadableEvent and vice-versa, which is undefined
behavior, since the object types are not the same.
This also corrects ClearEvent() to check both kernel types like the
kernel itself does.
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.
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.
Previously, these were sitting outside of the Kernel namespace, which
doesn't really make sense, given they're related to the Thread class
which is within the Kernel namespace.
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.
