Given this is utilized by the loaders, this allows avoiding inclusion of
the kernel process definitions where avoidable.
This also keeps the loading format for all executable data separate from
the kernel objects.
Neither the NRO or NSO loaders actually make use of the functions or
members provided by the Linker interface, so we can just remove the
inheritance altogether.
No implementations actually modify instance state (and it would be
questionable to do that in the first place given the name), so we can
make this a const member function.
Load() is already given the process instance as a parameter, so instead
of coupling the class to the System class, we can just forward that
parameter to LoadNro()

When enabled in settings, PatchNSO will dump the unmodified NSO that it was passed to a file named <build id>.nso in the dump root for the current title ID.
The only reason the getter existed was to check whether or not the
program NCA was null. Instead, we can just provide a function to query
for the existence of it, instead of exposing it entirely.
This function doesn't need to care about ownership semantics, so we can
just pass it a reference to the file itself, rather than a
std::shared_ptr alias.
These only exist to ferry data into a Process instance and end up going
out of scope quite early. Because of this, we can just make it a plain
struct for holding things and just std::move it into the relevant
function. There's no need to make this inherit from the kernel's Object
type.
Neither of these functions require the use of shared ownership of the
returned pointer. This makes it more difficult to create reference
cycles with, and makes the interface more generic, as std::shared_ptr
instances can be created from a std::unique_ptr, but the vice-versa
isn't possible. This also alters relevant functions to take NCA
arguments by const reference rather than a const reference to a
std::shared_ptr. These functions don't alter the ownership of the memory
used by the NCA instance, so we can make the interface more generic by
not assuming anything about the type of smart pointer the NCA is
contained within and make it the caller's responsibility to ensure the
supplied NCA is valid.
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.
A process should never require being reference counted in this
situation. If the handle to a process is freed before this function is
called, it's definitely a bug with our lifetime management, so we can
put the requirement in place for the API that the process must be a
valid instance.
The locations of these can actually vary depending on the address space
layout, so we shouldn't be using these when determining where to map
memory or be using them as offsets for calculations. This keeps all the
memory ranges flexible and malleable based off of the virtual memory
manager instance state.
Rather than hard-code the address range to be 36-bit, we can derive the
parameters from supplied NPDM metadata if the supplied exectuable
supports it. This is the bare minimum necessary for this to be possible.
The following commits will rework the memory code further to adjust to
this.
An instance of the NAX apploader already has an existing NAX instance in
memory. Calling directly into IdentifyType() directly would re-parse the
whole file again into yet another NAX instance, only to toss it away
again.
This gets rid of unnecessary/redundant file parsing and allocations.
AsNCA() allocates an NCA instance every time it's called. In the current
manner it's used, it's quite inefficient as it's making a redundant
allocation.
We can just amend the order of the conditionals to make it easier to
just call it once.
Previously, these were sitting outside of the Kernel namespace, which
doesn't really make sense, given they're related to the Thread class
which is within the Kernel namespace.
Eliminates the need to rebuild some source files if the file_util header
ever changes. This also uncovered some indirect inclusions, which have
also been fixed.
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.
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
Avoids the need to rebuild multiple source files if the filesystem code
headers change.
This also gets rid of a few instances of indirect inclusions being
relied upon
We can make the enum class type compatible with fmt by providing an
overload of operator<<.
While we're at it, perform proper bounds checking. If something exceeds
the array, it should be a hard fail, because it's, without a doubt, a
programmer error in this case.
Many of these aren't necessary and will cause this file to be required
to be recompiled whenever any changes to those files are made, which
lengthens compile times for no reason.
This also removes an unused metadata variable from AppLoader_XCI
Using member variables for referencing the segments array increases the
size of the class in memory for little benefit. The same behavior can be
achieved through the use of accessors that just return the relevant
segment.
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
