So, one thing that's puzzled me is why the kernel seemed to *not* use
the direct code address ranges in some cases for some service functions.
For example, in svcMapMemory, the full address space width is compared
against for validity, but for svcMapSharedMemory, it compares against
0xFFE00000, 0xFF8000000, and 0x7FF8000000 as upper bounds, and uses
either 0x200000 or 0x8000000 as the lower-bounds as the beginning of the
compared range. Coincidentally, these exact same values are also used in
svcGetInfo, and also when initializing the user address space, so this
is actually retrieving the ASLR extents, not the extents of the address
space in general.
Previously, these were reporting hardcoded values, but given the regions
can change depending on the requested address spaces, these need to
report the values that the memory manager contains.
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.
This makes the formatting expectations more obvious (e.g. any zero padding specified
is padding that's entirely dedicated to the value being printed, not any pretty-printing
that also gets tacked on).
added more svcGetInfo pairs for 3.0.0+ support, Changed HEAP_SIZE and TLS_AREA_VADDR. changed mem usage & heap usage stub added, ISelfController, IApplication function stubs. Added SetThreadCoreMask
The code now properly configures the process image to match the loaded
binary segments (code, rodata, data) instead of just blindly allocating
a large chunk of dummy memory.
This enables more dynamic management of the process address space,
compared to just directly configuring the page table for major areas.
This will serve as the foundation upon which the rest of the Kernel
memory management functions will be built.
