Threads will now be awakened when the objects they're waiting on are signaled, instead of repeating the WaitSynchronization call every now and then.
The scheduler is now called once after every SVC call, and once after a thread is awakened from sleep by its timeout callback.
This new implementation is based off reverse-engineering of the real kernel.
See https://gist.github.com/Subv/02f29bd9f1e5deb7aceea1e8f019c8f4 for a more detailed description of how the real kernel handles rescheduling.
Each thread gets a 0x200-byte area from the 0x1000-sized page, when all 8 thread slots in a single page are used up, the kernel allocates a new page to hold another 8 entries.
This is consistent with what the real kernel does.
memory.cpp/h contains definitions related to acessing memory and
configuring the address space
mem_map.cpp/h contains higher-level definitions related to configuring
the address space accoording to the kernel and allocating memory.
* Simplifies scheduling logic, specifically regarding thread status. It should be much clearer which statuses are valid
for a thread at any given point in the system.
* Removes dead code from thread.cpp.
* Moves the implementation of resetting a ThreadContext to the corresponding core's implementation.
Other changes:
* Fixed comments in arm interfaces.
* Updated comments in thread.cpp
* Removed confusing, useless, functions like MakeReady() and ChangeStatus() from thread.cpp.
* Removed stack_size from Thread. In the CTR kernel, the thread's stack would be allocated before thread creation.
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.)
- Separate wait checking from waiting the current thread
- Resume thread when wait_all=true only if all objects are available at once
- Set output to correct wait object index when there are duplicate handles
This thread will not actually execute instructions, it will only advance the timing/events and try to yield immediately to the next ready thread, if there aren't any ready threads then it will be rescheduled and start its job again.
This handle manager more closely mirrors the behaviour of the CTR-OS
one. In addition object ref-counts and support for DuplicateHandle have
been added.
Note that support for DuplicateHandle is still experimental, since parts
of the kernel still use Handles internally, which will likely cause
troubles if two different handles to the same object are used to e.g.
wait on a synchronization primitive.
