We earlier moved to LGPLv3.0 or Later. This was a mistake as what we wanted was being able to link to proprietary libraries but LGPL is the opposite and it allows linking proprietary libraries to libskyline instead. After further consideration, we've moved to MPL-2.0, it allows linking to proprietary libraries and is a standardized license as compared to adding an exception to GPL.
This commit further improves the memory implementation by using shared memory for all allocations so we won't have to depend on a kernel call for doing any host <-> guest memory transfers.
This commit adds support for threading and mutexes. However, there is also a basis of conditional variables but these don't work due to the lack of a shared memory model between the guest and host. So, conditional variables will be deferred to after the shared memory model is in place.
This commit does a major refactor of the memory implementation, it forms a memory map which is far cleaner than trying to access it through a handle table lookup. In addition, it creates a common interface for all memory kernel objects: KMemory from which all other kernel memory objects inherit. This allows doing resizing, permission change, etc without casting to the base memory type.
This commit is a huge step in the direction of better performance, as we move from ptrace to junction branching and have kernel call overhead similar to that of a native kernel call! In addition, this sets the base for the kernel to go fully multi-threaded. However, the kernel is currently not thread-safe and therefore this commit currently causes a crash.
This commit removes support for more than one guest processes as it requires a fair bit of extra code to support in addition the HLE service implementations don't support it anyway.
The following things were fixed:
* KSharedMemory
* KSyncObject (and how waiting on them works)
* Inclusion of Headers
What was added:
* Transfer Memory
* svcSleepThread
