PowerPC.h at this point is pretty much a general glob of stuff, and it's
unfortunate, since it means pulling in a lot of unrelated header
dependencies and a bunch of other things that don't need to be seen by
things that just want to read memory.
Breaking this out into its own header keeps all the MMU-related stuff
together and also limits the amount of header dependencies being
included (the primary motivation for this being the former reason).
It's not common code that could be reused for, say, Citra;
it's absolutely specific to Wii emulation and only used by the Dolphin
core, so let's move it there.
Another reason for doing this is to avoid having Common depend on Core.
This is the large change in the branch.
This lets us use either the host filesystem or (in the future) a NAND
image exactly the same way, and make sure the IPC emulation code
behaves identically. Less duplicated code.
Note that "FileIO" and "FS" were merged, because it actually doesn't
make a lot of sense to split them: IOS handles requests for both
/dev/fs and files in the same resource manager, and as it turns out,
/dev/fs commands can *also* be sent to non /dev/fs file descriptors!
If we kept /dev/fs and files split, there would be no way to
emulate that correctly. I'm not aware of anything that does that (yet?)
but I think it's important to be correct.
Now that we have a proper filesystem interface, it makes more sense
to return it instead of the emulated IOS device (which isn't
really usable for any purpose other than emulated IPC).
Extract the existing FS code into a HostBackend implementing
the filesystem interface.
Compared to the original code, this uses less static state.
The open host files map is now a member variable
as it should have been. Filesystem handles are now also easier
to savestate. Some variable names and log messages were cleaned up.
Nothing else has been changed.
Add a new FileSystem class that can be used to perform operations
on the emulated Wii filesystem.
This will allow separating the IPC code (reading from and writing to
memory to handle IOS FS commands) and the actual filesystem code
in a much better way.
This also paves the way for implementing another filesystem backend
in the future -- NAND images for more complete emulation, including
filesystem metadata like permissions or file orders, which some games
and homebrew actually care about -- without needing to make any more
changes to the other parts of the codebase, in addition to making
filesystem behaviour tests easier to write.
While the code is namespaced out properly, the files weren't separated
into their own directory. This moves the files so that introducing a general
interface is easier in the future for supporting other architectures.
Not really used anywhere yet, but useful for not having to duplicate
config locations and for getting rid of conflicts when I get around
to rebase my Main.Core and Main.DSP porting PR.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
Allows reusing the WAD import logic more easily, whereas UICommon
code can only be used from UICommon and UI.
And managing what's on the NAND is the Core's responsability, not UI.
In the future, NAND filesystem access will be limited to one IOS
instance, for safety reasons and to make it possible to consider
supporting NAND images. This means that any code accessing the NAND
filesystem must go through the FS device, both for code that is
external to IOS and internal.
Because we don't want to introduce any singleton, this requires
internal IOS code that needs NAND access to be part of an IOS device
class, so they can access the FS device easily.
Making some of the internal ES implementation functions member
functions also prevents them from being (mis)used outside of IOS,
since they cannot be called everywhere anymore.
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
With the relocation of DumpDSPCode to DSPCodeUtils, the only remaining
function in DSPLLETools is DumpCWCode. This function 1) is not used
anywhere (not even in DSPTool), 2) doesn't seem to really do anything,
and 3) has a single comment saying "TODO make this useful :p"
This prevents the IOS crypto code and keys from being spread over
the codebase. Things only have to be implemented once, and can be
used everywhere from the IOS code.
Additionally, since ES exposes some IOSC calls directly (DeleteObject
and Encrypt/Decrypt), we need this for proper emulation.
Currently, this only supports AES key objects.
This changes the main IOS code (roughly the equivalent of the kernel)
to a class instead of being a set of free functions + tons of static
variables.
The reason for this change is that keeping tons of static variables
like that prevents us from making an IOS instance and reusing IOS
code easily.
Converting the IOS code to a class also allows us to mostly decouple
IOS from the PPC emulation.
The more interesting changes are in Core/IOS/IOS. Everything else is
mostly just boring stuff required by this change...
* Because the devices themselves call back to the main IOS code
for various things (getting the current version, replying to a
request, and other syscall-like functions), just like processes in
IOS call kernel syscalls, we have to pass a reference to the kernel
to anything that uses IOS syscalls.
* Change DoState to save device names instead of device IDs to simplify
AddDevice() and get rid of an ugly static count.
* Change ES_Launch's ack to be sent at IOS boot, now that we can do
this properly.
Constants are copied into this pool so that they live at a memory
location that is close to the code that references it. The pool allocates
memory from a provided X64CodeBlock to use.
The purpose of the pool is to overcome the 32-bit offset limitation that
RIP-relative addressing has.`
