Makes the interface future-proofed for supporting other platforms in the event we ever support platforms with differing pointer sizes. This way, we have a type in place that is always guaranteed to be able to represent a pointer exactly.
This commit: Implements CPU Interrupts, Replaces Cycle Timing for Host
Timing, Reworks the Kernel's Scheduler, Introduce Idle State and
Suspended State, Recreates the bootmanager, Initializes Multicore
system.
Migrates all of the direct mapping facilities over to the new memory
class. In the process, this also obsoletes the need for memory_setup.h,
so we can remove it entirely from the project.
* core_timing: Use better reference tracking for EventType.
- Moves ownership of the event to the caller, ensuring we don't fire events for destroyed objects.
- Removes need for unique names - we won't be using this for save states anyways.
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.
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.
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.
* get rid of boost::optional
* Remove optional references
* Use std::reference_wrapper for optional references
* Fix clang format
* Fix clang format part 2
* Adressed feedback
* Fix clang format and MacOS build
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).
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.
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.
