Now that we have the address arbiter extracted to its own class, we can
fix an innaccuracy with the kernel. Said inaccuracy being that there
isn't only one address arbiter. Each process instance contains its own
AddressArbiter instance in the actual kernel.
This fixes that and gets rid of another long-standing issue that could
arise when attempting to create more than one process.
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.
This is a function that definitely doesn't always have a non-modifying
behavior across all implementations, so this should be made non-const.
This gets rid of the need to mark data members as mutable to work around
the fact mutating data members needs to occur.
Keeps the CPU-specific behavior from being spread throughout the main
System class. This will also act as the home to contain member functions
that perform operations on all cores. The reason for this being that the
following pattern is sort of prevalent throughout sections of the
codebase:
If clearing the instruction cache for all 4 cores is necessary:
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(0).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(1).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(2).ClearInstructionCache();
Core::System::GetInstance().ArmInterface(3).ClearInstructionCache();
This is kind of... well, silly to copy around whenever it's needed.
especially when it can be reduced down to a single line.
This change also puts the basics in place to begin "ungrafting" all of the
forwarding member functions from the System class that are used to
access CPU state or invoke CPU-specific behavior. As such, this change
itself makes no changes to the direct external interface of System. This
will be covered by another changeset.

Many of the Current<Thing> getters (as well as a few others) were
missing const qualified variants, which makes it a pain to retrieve
certain things from const qualified references to System.
There's no need for shared ownership here, as the only owning class
instance of those Cpu instances is the System class itself. We can also
make the thread_to_cpu map use regular pointers instead of shared_ptrs,
given that the Cpu instances will always outlive the cases where they're
used with that map.
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.
This will always outlive the Cpu instances, since it's destroyed after
we destroy the Cpu instances on shutdown, so there's no need for shared
ownership semantics here.
Neither of these functions alter the ownership of the provided pointer,
so we can simply make the parameters a reference rather than a direct
shared pointer alias. This way we also disallow passing incorrect memory values like
nullptr.
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).
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.
Given these are only added to the class to allow those functions to
access the private constructor, it's a better approach to just make them
static functions in the interface, to make the dependency explicit.
Given we now have the kernel as a class, it doesn't make sense to keep
the current process pointer within the System class, as processes are
related to the kernel.
This also gets rid of a subtle case where memory wouldn't be freed on
core shutdown, as the current_process pointer would never be reset,
causing the pointed to contents to continue to live.
The only reason this include was necessary, was because the constructor
wasn't defaulted in the cpp file and the compiler would inline it
wherever it was used. However, given Controller is forward declared, all
those inlined constructors would see an incomplete type, causing a
compilation failure. So, we just place the constructor in the cpp file,
where it can see the complete type definition, allowing us to remove
this include.
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.
core.h is kind of a massive header in terms what it includes within
itself. It includes VFS utilities, kernel headers, file_sys header,
ARM-related headers, etc. This means that changing anything in the
headers included by core.h essentially requires you to rebuild almost
all of core.
Instead, we can modify the System class to use the PImpl idiom, which
allows us to move all of those headers to the cpp file and forward
declare the bulk of the types that would otherwise be included, reducing
compile times. This change specifically only performs the PImpl portion.
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.
