This addresses all CR comments including more codebase-wide changes arising from certain review comments like proper usage of its/it's and consistent contraction of it is into it's.
An overhaul was made to the presentation and formatting of `KThread.h` and `LoadBalance` works has been superseded by `GetOptimalCoreForThread` which can be used alongside `InsertThread` or `MigrateToCore`. It makes the API far more atomic and neater. This was a major point of contention for the design prior, it's simplified some code and potentially improved performance.
Nintendo Content Archives are used to store the assets, executables
and updates of applications. They support holding either a PFS0 or a
RomFS.
An NCA's ExeFS can be loaded by placing each NSO sequentially into
memory, starting with rtld which will link them together.
Currently only decrypted NCAs are supported, encryption and BKTR
handling will be added at a later time.
Mapping and writing segments into memory is now handled by a common
function that can be shared between all loaders. All they need to do now
is to pack each segment into a common struct.
This commit adds support for reading the RomFS data from an NRO and
obtaining an IStorage handle to it through 'OpenDataStorageByCurrentProcess'.
There is currently only support for reading and no support
for enlarging or writing.
Also fixup a few capitalisation issues.
This commit mainly finishes up refactor by fixing everything brought up in the CR + Improving NCE somewhat and actually killing the child processes properly now.
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 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 makes the kernel thread safe in some instances (but not fully) and showcases the significantly improved performance over the ptrace method used prior. In addition, scanning for ROMs is now done asynchronously.
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 adapts the C++ backend to the Kotlin frontend by moving to usage of file descriptors and, provides an interface to access frontend code via JNI which is used to check the state of the activity and catch events such as surface destruction. In addition, this commit fixes some minor linting errors and changes the CMake version to 3.10.2+.
The following things were fixed:
* KSharedMemory
* KSyncObject (and how waiting on them works)
* Inclusion of Headers
What was added:
* Transfer Memory
* svcSleepThread
