More hardware accurate. On the actual system, there is a differentiation between the signaler and signalee, they form a client/server relationship much like ServerPort and ClientPort.
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.
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.
