In LabelMap.cpp, the code is currently unused so I was unable to test it.
In WiiUtils.cpp, the magic value `1u` was replaced by the constant value `DiscIO::PARTITION_UPDATE`.
We can get rid of the global system accessors by requiring passing in
relevant state that the function needs and making callsites do the work.
This *does* add a global accessor to the PPCAnalyzer, however, this already
has global accessors present elsewhere within its code, so they can be removed
all at once in a follow up change.
Debug Mode gives players direct read and write access to memory, which could be used to completely manipulate RetroAchievements logic and therefore is not allowed in hardcore mode.
This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.
Before, we used a replace hook and didn't write anything there. Now, we write a BLR instruction to immediately return, and then use a start hook. This makes the behavior a bit clearer (though it shoudln't matter in practice).
The reload stub is at a fixed address (0x80001800) so its hook flag
should be HookFlag::Fixed.
Otherwise the hook is installed by HLE::PatchFixedFunctions but
immediately removed by HLE::PatchFunctions (which is called by
HLE::Reload right after PatchFixedFunctions).

MIOS puts patch data in low MEM1 (0x1800-0x3000) for its own use.
Overwriting data in this range can cause the IPL to crash when
launching games that get patched by MIOS.
See https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11952 for more info.
Not applying the Gecko HLE patches means that Gecko codes will not work
under MIOS, but this is better than the alternative of having specific
games crash.
The enumerated LOG_TYPE "OSREPORT" is currently used in both EXI_DeviceIPL.cpp and HLE_OS.cpp. In many games, the multitude of game functions detected by HLE_OS.cpp for OSREPORT logging results in poor log readability. This Pull Request remedies that by adding a new enumerated LOG_TYPE "OSREPORT_HLE" for log usage in HLE_OS.cpp.
In the future, further changing how logging in HLE_OS.cpp works may be desirable. As it is, game functions are detected that send a single character to the log. This is a major source of poor readability.
