This causes a reference cycle because ServerPort also holds a shared pointer to SessionRequestHandler (inherited by ServiceFrameworkBase). Given that the member port is never used in ServiceFrameworkBase, we can simply remove it. The port object is kept alive by ServiceManager|KernelSystem::named_ports -> ClientPort -> ServerPort
* Core: pass down Core::System reference to all services
This has to be done at once due to unified interface used by HLE/LLE switcher
* apt: eliminate Core::System::GetInstance
* gpu_gsp: eliminate Core::System::GetInstance in service
* hid: eliminate Core::System::GetInstance
* nwm: eliminate Core::System::GetInstance
* err_f: eliminate Core::System::GetInstance
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
Some services can have multiple clients at the same time, and they identify the different clients using the server session as a key.
This parameter (if present) should be a structure that contains the per-session data for each service.
The data can be retrieved using ServiceFramework::GetSessionData(session)
An HLE service function that wants to perform an async operation should put the caller guest thread to sleep using SleepClientThread, passing in a callback to execute when the thread is resumed.
SleepClientThread returns a ThreadContinuationToken that should be stored and used with ContinueClientThread to resume the guest thread when the host async operation completes.
The old "Interface" class had a few problems such as using free
functions (Which didn't allow you to write the service handler as if it
were a regular class.) which weren't very extensible. (Only received one
parameter with a pointer to the Interface object.)
The new ServiceFramework aims to solve these problems by working with
member functions and passing a generic context struct as parameter. This
struct can be extended in the future without having to update all
existing service implementations.
Sessions and Ports are now detached from each other.
HLE services are handled by means of a SessionRequestHandler class, Interface now inherits from this class.
The File and Directory classes are no longer kernel objects, but SessionRequestHandlers instead, bound to a ServerSession when requested.
File::OpenLinkFile now creates a new session pair and binds the File instance to it.
All handles obtained via srv::GetServiceHandle or svcConnectToPort are references to ClientSessions.
Service modules will wait on the counterpart of those ClientSessions (Called ServerSessions) using svcReplyAndReceive or svcWaitSynchronization[1|N], and will be awoken when a SyncRequest is performed.
HLE Interfaces are now ClientPorts which override the HandleSyncRequest virtual member function to perform command handling immediately.
This coincidentally fixes an issue about the PTM service failing to create its SharedExtSaveData archive due to the FS service not being initialized by the time the creating code runs.
Ideally I'd like to move each process to its own folder, and have a single file per process that registers the service classes, which would be in their own files inside that folder. Then each service class would just call functions from the process to complete the commands.
