Essentially performs the inverse of svcMapProcessCodeMemory. This unmaps
the aliasing region first, then restores the general traits of the
aliased memory.
What this entails, is:
- Restoring Read/Write permissions to the VMA.
- Restoring its memory state to reflect it as a general heap memory region.
- Clearing the memory attributes on the region.
Uses arithmetic that can be identified more trivially by compilers for
optimizations. e.g. Rather than shifting the halves of the value and
then swapping and combining them, we can swap them in place.
e.g. for the original swap32 code on x86-64, clang 8.0 would generate:
mov ecx, edi
rol cx, 8
shl ecx, 16
shr edi, 16
rol di, 8
movzx eax, di
or eax, ecx
ret
while GCC 8.3 would generate the ideal:
mov eax, edi
bswap eax
ret
now both generate the same optimal output.
MSVC used to generate the following with the old code:
mov eax, ecx
rol cx, 8
shr eax, 16
rol ax, 8
movzx ecx, cx
movzx eax, ax
shl ecx, 16
or eax, ecx
ret 0
Now MSVC also generates a similar, but equally optimal result as clang/GCC:
bswap ecx
mov eax, ecx
ret 0
====
In the swap64 case, for the original code, clang 8.0 would generate:
mov eax, edi
bswap eax
shl rax, 32
shr rdi, 32
bswap edi
or rax, rdi
ret
(almost there, but still missing the mark)
while, again, GCC 8.3 would generate the more ideal:
mov rax, rdi
bswap rax
ret
now clang also generates the optimal sequence for this fallback as well.
This is a case where MSVC unfortunately falls short, despite the new
code, this one still generates a doozy of an output.
mov r8, rcx
mov r9, rcx
mov rax, 71776119061217280
mov rdx, r8
and r9, rax
and edx, 65280
mov rax, rcx
shr rax, 16
or r9, rax
mov rax, rcx
shr r9, 16
mov rcx, 280375465082880
and rax, rcx
mov rcx, 1095216660480
or r9, rax
mov rax, r8
and rax, rcx
shr r9, 16
or r9, rax
mov rcx, r8
mov rax, r8
shr r9, 8
shl rax, 16
and ecx, 16711680
or rdx, rax
mov eax, -16777216
and rax, r8
shl rdx, 16
or rdx, rcx
shl rdx, 16
or rax, rdx
shl rax, 8
or rax, r9
ret 0
which is pretty unfortunate.
Allows the compiler to inform when the result of a swap function is
being ignored (which is 100% a bug in all usage scenarios). We also mark
them noexcept to allow other functions using them to be able to be
marked as noexcept and play nicely with things that potentially inspect
"nothrowability".
Including every OS' own built-in byte swapping functions is kind of
undesirable, since it adds yet another build path to ensure compilation
succeeds on.
Given we only support clang, GCC, and MSVC for the time being, we can
utilize their built-in functions directly instead of going through the
OS's API functions.
This shrinks the overall code down to just
if (msvc)
use msvc's functions
else if (clang or gcc)
use clang/gcc's builtins
else
use the slow path
The template type here is actually a forwarding reference, not an rvalue
reference in this case, so it's more appropriate to use std::forward to
preserve the value category of the type being moved.
Some objects declare their handle type as const, while others declare it
as constexpr. This makes the const ones constexpr for consistency, and
prevent unexpected compilation errors if these happen to be attempted to be
used within a constexpr context.
These indicate options that alter how a read/write is performed.
Currently we don't need to handle these, as the only one that seems to
be used is for writes, but all the custom options ever seem to do is
immediate flushing, which we already do by default.
