This change makes for a clearer (less confusing) path of execution in the scheduler, now the code to execute when a thread awakes is closer to the code that puts the thread to sleep (WaitSynch1, WaitSynchN). It also allows us to implement the special wake up behavior of ReplyAndReceive without hacking up WaitObject::WakeupAllWaitingThreads.
If savestates are desired in the future, we can change this implementation to one similar to the CoreTiming event system, where we first register the callback functions at startup and assign their identifiers to the Thread callback variable instead of directly assigning a lambda to the wake up callback variable.
Don't automatically assume that Thread::Create will only be called when the parent process is currently scheduled. This assumption will be broken when applets or system modules are loaded.
This mutex is acquired in SVC::CallSVC, ie, as soon as the guest application enters the HLE kernel, and should be acquired by the aforementioned threads before modifying kernel structures.
It behaves mostly as WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = false, except for IPC buffer translation.
The target thread of an IPC response will now wake up when responding.
IPC buffer translation is currently not implemented.
Error passing back to svcSendSyncRequest is currently not implemented.
This commit removes the overly general THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH and replaces it with two more granular statuses:
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ANY when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronization1 or WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = false.
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ALL when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = true.
The implementation is based on reverse engineering of the 3DS's kernel.
A mutex holder's priority will be temporarily boosted to the best priority among any threads that want to acquire any of its held mutexes.
When the holder releases the mutex, it's priority will be boosted to the best priority among the threads that want to acquire any of its remaining held mutexes.
Define a variable with the value of the sync timeout error code.
Use a boost::flat_map instead of an unordered_map to hold the equivalence of objects and wait indices in a WaitSynchN call.
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.
