The kernel uses the handle table of the current process to retrieve the
process that should be used to retrieve certain information. To someone
not familiar with the kernel, this might raise the question of "Ok,
sounds nice, but doesn't this make it impossible to retrieve information
about the current process?".
No, it doesn't, because HandleTable instances in the kernel have the
notion of a "pseudo-handle", where certain values allow the kernel to
lookup objects outside of a given handle table. Currently, there's only
a pseudo-handle for the current process (0xFFFF8001) and a pseudo-handle
for the current thread (0xFFFF8000), so to retrieve the current process,
one would just pass 0xFFFF8001 into svcGetInfo.
The lookup itself in the handle table would be something like:
template <typename T>
T* Lookup(Handle handle) {
if (handle == PSEUDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_PROCESS) {
return CurrentProcess();
}
if (handle == PSUEDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_THREAD) {
return CurrentThread();
}
return static_cast<T*>(&objects[handle]);
}
which, as is shown, allows accessing the current process or current
thread, even if those two objects aren't actually within the HandleTable
instance.
Our implementation of svcGetInfo was slightly incorrect in that we
weren't doing proper error checking everywhere. Instead, reorganize it
to be similar to how the kernel seems to do it.
We can just return a new instance of this when it's requested. This only
ever holds pointers to the existing registed caches, so it's not a large
object. Plus, this also gets rid of the need to keep around a separate
member function just to properly clear out the union.
Gets rid of one of five globals in the filesystem code.
This is the same behavior-wise as DeleteDirectoryRecursively, with the
only difference being that it doesn't delete the top level directory in
the hierarchy, so given:
root_dir/
- some_dir/
- File.txt
- OtherFile.txt
The end result is just:
root_dir/
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.
The opposite of the getter functions, this function sets the limit value
for a particular ResourceLimit resource category, with the restriction
that the new limit value must be equal to or greater than the current
resource value. If this is violated, then ERR_INVALID_STATE is returned.
e.g.
Assume:
current[Events] = 10;
limit[Events] = 20;
a call to this service function lowering the limit value to 10 would be
fine, however, attempting to lower it to 9 in this case would cause an
invalid state error.
This kernel service function is essentially the exact same as
svcGetResourceLimitLimitValue(), with the only difference being that it
retrieves the current value for a given resource category using the
provided resource limit handle, rather than retrieving the limiting
value of that resource limit instance.
Given these are exactly the same and only differ on returned values, we
can extract the existing code for svcGetResourceLimitLimitValue() to
handle both values.
This kernel service function retrieves the maximum allowable value for
a provided resource category for a given resource limit instance. Given
we already have the functionality added to the resource limit instance
itself, it's sufficient to just hook it up.
The error scenarios for this are:
1. If an invalid resource category type is provided, then ERR_INVALID_ENUM is returned.
2. If an invalid handle is provided, then ERR_INVALID_HANDLE is returned (bad thing goes in, bad thing goes out, as one would expect).
If neither of the above error cases occur, then the out parameter is
provided with the maximum limit value for the given category and success
is returned.
This function simply creates a ResourceLimit instance and attempts to
create a handle for it within the current process' handle table. If the
kernal fails to either create the ResourceLimit instance or create a
handle for the ResourceLimit instance, it returns a failure code
(OUT_OF_RESOURCE, and HANDLE_TABLE_FULL respectively). Finally, it exits
by providing the output parameter with the handle value for the
ResourceLimit instance and returning that it was successful.
Note: We do not return OUT_OF_RESOURCE because, if yuzu runs out of
available memory, then new will currently throw. We *could* allocate the
kernel instance with std::nothrow, however this would be inconsistent
with how all other kernel objects are currently allocated.
Avoids the need to create a copy of the std::string instance
(potentially allocating).
The only reason RegisterService takes its argument by value is because
it's std::moved internally.
The interface for shared memory was changed, but another commit was
merged that relied on the (previously public) internals of SharedMemory.
This amends that discrepancy.
<random> isn't necesary directly within the header and can be placed in
the cpp file where its needed. Avoids propagating random generation
utilities via a header file.
Cleans out the citra/3DS-specific implementation details that don't
apply to the Switch. Sets the stage for implementing ResourceLimit
instances properly.
While we're at it, remove the erroneous checks within CreateThread() and
SetThreadPriority(). While these are indeed checked in some capacity,
they are not checked via a ResourceLimit instance.
In the process of moving out Citra-specifics, this also replaces the
system ResourceLimit instance's values with ones from the Switch.
This service function was likely intended to be a way to redirect where
the output of a log went. e.g. Firing a log over a network, dumping over
a tunneling session, etc.
Given we always want to see the log and not change its output. It's one
of the lucky service functions where the easiest implementation is to
just do nothing at all and return success.
Both member functions assume the passed in target process will not be
null. Instead of making this assumption implicit, we can change the
functions to be references and enforce this at the type-system level.
Makes the interface nicer to use in terms of 64-bit code, as it makes it
less likely for one to get truncation warnings (and also makes sense in
the context of the rest of the interface where 64-bit types are used for
sizes and offsets
The separate enum isn't particularly necessary here, and the values can
just be directly put into the ResultCode instances, given the names are
also self-documenting here.
