Our initialization process is a little wonky than one would expect when
it comes to code flow. We initialize the CPU last, as opposed to
hardware, where the CPU obviously needs to be first, otherwise nothing
else would work, and we have code that adds checks to get around this.
For example, in the page table setting code, we check to see if the
system is turned on before we even notify the CPU instances of a page
table switch. This results in dead code (at the moment), because the
only time a page table switch will occur is when the system is *not*
running, preventing the emulated CPU instances from being notified of a
page table switch in a convenient manner (technically the code path
could be taken, but we don't emulate the process creation svc handlers
yet).
This moves the threads creation into its own member function of the core
manager and restores a little order (and predictability) to our
initialization process.
Previously, in the multi-threaded cases, we'd kick off several threads
before even the main kernel process was created and ready to execute (gross!).
Now the initialization process is like so:
Initialization:
1. Timers
2. CPU
3. Kernel
4. Filesystem stuff (kind of gross, but can be amended trivially)
5. Applet stuff (ditto in terms of being kind of gross)
6. Main process (will be moved into the loading step in a following
change)
7. Telemetry (this should be initialized last in the future).
8. Services (4 and 5 should ideally be alongside this).
9. GDB (gross. Uses namespace scope state. Needs to be refactored into a
class or booted altogether).
10. Renderer
11. GPU (will also have its threads created in a separate step in a
following change).
Which... isn't *ideal* per-se, however getting rid of the wonky
intertwining of CPU state initialization out of this mix gets rid of
most of the footguns when it comes to our initialization process.
Adjusts the interface of the wrappers to take a system reference, which
allows accessing a system instance without using the global accessors.
This also allows getting rid of all global accessors within the
supervisor call handling code. While this does make the wrappers
themselves slightly more noisy, this will be further cleaned up in a
follow-up. This eliminates the global system accessors in the current
code while preserving the existing interface.
Applies the override specifier where applicable. In the case of
destructors that are defaulted in their definition, they can
simply be removed.
This also removes the unnecessary inclusions being done in audin_u and
audrec_u, given their close proximity.
* gdbstub: fix IsMemoryBreak() returning false while connected to client
As a result, the only existing codepath for a memory watchpoint hit to break into GDB (InterpeterMainLoop, GDB_BP_CHECK, ARMul_State::RecordBreak) is finally taken,
which exposes incorrect logic* in both RecordBreak and ServeBreak.
* a blank BreakpointAddress structure is passed, which sets r15 (PC) to NULL
* gdbstub: DynCom: default-initialize two members/vars used in conditionals
* gdbstub: DynCom: don't record memory watchpoint hits via RecordBreak()
For now, instead check for GDBStub::IsMemoryBreak() in InterpreterMainLoop and ServeBreak.
Fixes PC being set to a stale/unhit breakpoint address (often zero) when a memory watchpoint (rwatch, watch, awatch) is handled in ServeBreak() and generates a GDB trap.
Reasons for removing a call to RecordBreak() for memory watchpoints:
* The``breakpoint_data`` we pass is typed Execute or None. It describes the predicted next code breakpoint hit relative to PC;
* GDBStub::IsMemoryBreak() returns true if a recent Read/Write operation hit a watchpoint. It doesn't specify which in return, nor does it trace it anywhere. Thus, the only data we could give RecordBreak() is a placeholder BreakpointAddress at offset NULL and type Access. I found the idea silly, compared to simply relying on GDBStub::IsMemoryBreak().
There is currently no measure in the code that remembers the addresses (and types) of any watchpoints that were hit by an instruction, in order to send them to GDB as "extended stop information."
I'm considering an implementation for this.
* gdbstub: Change an ASSERT to DEBUG_ASSERT
I have never seen the (Reg[15] == last_bkpt.address) assert fail in practice, even after several weeks of (locally) developping various branches around GDB. Only leave it inside Debug builds.
Gets rid of the largest set of mutable global state within the core.
This also paves a way for eliminating usages of GetInstance() on the
System class as a follow-up.
Note that no behavioral changes have been made, and this simply extracts
the functionality into a class. This also has the benefit of making
dependencies on the core timing functionality explicit within the
relevant interfaces.
Places all of the timing-related functionality under the existing Core
namespace to keep things consistent, rather than having the timing
utilities sitting in its own completely separate namespace.
Like the barrier, this is owned entirely by the System and will always
outlive the encompassing state, so shared ownership semantics aren't
necessary here.
There's no real need to use a shared pointer in these cases, and only
makes object management more fragile in terms of how easy it would be to
introduce cycles. Instead, just do the simple thing of using a regular
pointer. Much of this is just a hold-over from citra anyways.
It also doesn't make sense from a behavioral point of view for a
process' thread to prolong the lifetime of the process itself (the
process is supposed to own the thread, not the other way around).
Many of the member variables of the thread class aren't even used
outside of the class itself, so there's no need to make those variables
public. This change follows in the steps of the previous changes that
made other kernel types' members private.
The main motivation behind this is that the Thread class will likely
change in the future as emulation becomes more accurate, and letting
random bits of the emulator access data members of the Thread class
directly makes it a pain to shuffle around and/or modify internals.
Having all data members public like this also makes it difficult to
reason about certain bits of behavior without first verifying what parts
of the core actually use them.
Everything being public also generally follows the tendency for changes
to be introduced in completely different translation units that would
otherwise be better introduced as an addition to the Thread class'
public interface.
Makes the public interface consistent in terms of how accesses are done
on a process object. It also makes it slightly nicer to reason about the
logic of the process class, as we don't want to expose everything to
external code.
Internally within the kernel, it also includes a member variable for the
floating-point status register, and TPIDR, so we should do the same here to match
it.
While we're at it, also fix up the size of the struct and add a static
assertion to ensure it always stays the correct size.
Previously the second half of the value being written would overwrite
the first half. Thankfully this wasn't a bug that was being encountered,
as the function is currently unused.
This modifies the CPU interface to more accurately match an
AArch64-supporting CPU as opposed to an ARM11 one. Two of the methods
don't even make sense to keep around for this interface, as Adv Simd is
used, rather than the VFP in the primary execution state. This is
essentially a modernization change that should have occurred from the
get-go.
The follow-up to e2457418da, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.

We divide the number of ticks to add by the number of cores (4) to obtain a more or less rough estimate of the actual number of ticks added. This assumes that all 4 cores are doing similar work. Previously we were adding ~4 times the number of ticks, thus making the games think that time was going way too fast.
This lets us bypass certain hangs in some games like Breath of the Wild.
We should modify our CoreTiming to support multiple cores (both running in a single thread, and in multiple host threads).
Amends the initializer list to be in the same order that each variable
would be initialized in. We also do this to ensure we don't use a bogus
uninitialized instance of the exclusive monitor within MakeJit()
We can also remove the jit member from the initializer list as this is
initialized by PageTableChanged()
* More improvements to GDBStub
- Debugging of threads should work correctly with source and assembly level stepping and modifying registers and memory, meaning threads and callstacks are fully clickable in VS.
- List of modules is available to the client, with assumption that .nro and .nso are backed up by an .elf with symbols, while deconstructed ROMs keep N names.
- Initial support for floating point registers.

This makes the formatting expectations more obvious (e.g. any zero padding specified
is padding that's entirely dedicated to the value being printed, not any pretty-printing
that also gets tacked on).
LOG_GENERIC usages will be amended in a follow-up to keep API changes separate from
interface changes, as it will require removing a parameter from the relevant function
in the VMManager class.
On MSVC if unicorn isn't found, fallback to bundled unicorn
On everything else, fallback to building unicorn in externals
Also fixes loading unicorn in msvc
Adds a cmake custom target that will build unicorn on first compile and
uses this in the build scripts as well. Updates Appveyor and Travis
build scripts to work with the new unicorn build, and updates the paths
to all of the different artifacts.
