This is going to get used by gdbserver soon for ensuring memory accesses
are fault safe, because it tries to read outside of correct memory
bounds at times.
When an SMC trap happens: reconstruct the context before the SMC write
then compile the write as a single instruction block to reduce it to
regular SMC. SMC where the writing instruction is the instruction being
patched will hit the signal handler at most twice: the 1st will trigger
the write to be compiled as a single instuction block, the 2nd will
detect inline SMC of a single instruction block and then just take the
usual invalidate+reprotect+continue step, avoiding a potential infinite
loop of recompilation.
As section permissions are set on the unix side we don't get a
protection callback for them, workaround this by iterating over
the sections of all executables after mapping and tracking the RWX
ones.
When set - either via POPF or a thread context operation - the trap flag
raises a single step exception after the execution of each instruction.
As e.g. a JUMP instruction with TF set will raise an exception at the
jump target. Handle this on the FEX side by storing both the flag itself
(in bit 0) and a 'block exceptions' flag (in bit 1, inverted). Each
generated block when TF is set is then forced to a single instruction
with logic to raise the exception at the start. Initially after setting
TF exceptions are blocked, then at the start of the block they are
unblocked so that after the instruction executes an exception is raised
at the start of the next block.
This is the command used when the `k` argument is passed to gdb. There
is nothing to do once this is received other than "kill" as quickly as
possible. The absolute way to ensure this is using SIGKILL.
No way to do a `r` command after `k` yet, but might be possible.
if an application is using `exit` then it is usually a faulting
condition rather than cleanly exiting. When cleanly exiting
applications will typically use `exit_group` instead.
`exit` is useful to quickly cause a single thread to exit in a
multi-threaded environment as well, where `exit_group` will take down
the entire process group.
FEX had implemented this in a way that would do a double Stop signal,
cascading to a crash. When tied in to a crash handler, this could get
caught in a weird way.
This /should/ fix#4198, but I can't confirm locally. It looks like in
that issue that the steam install is slightly buggered (as evident by
missing srt-logger and steam-runtime-identify-library-abi).
This is a bug regardless so fix it and create a unittest. If it doesn't
fix the user's bug, then we have another workaround that will definitely
solve it.
clone3 was added in Linux 5.3 but our minimum spec is 5.0. Additionally
the Raspberry Pi 5 kernel seems to complain about clone3 for some
reason?
Just use clone instead of clone3
Now that all the threading behaviour has been correctly separated/moved
to the frontend, these functions serve no purpose.
- Instead of using RunUntilExit, all threads can use `ExecuteThread`
directly, since there's nothing special about the primary thread now.
- This also removes the public function definition of `ExecutionThread` since that was only used for threading logic.
- Instead of using an exit handler, just do the same cleanup after
`ExecuteThread` has returned.
- Just make gdbserver is cleaned up early if it exists since it may
want to send some things to the connected gdb instance before
threads are exited.
These are all frontend constructs with mostly deprecated constraints.
WaitingToStart isn't used anymore, Running is effectively always true
(and behaviour has changed that if a thread is alive, it's running).
The only one that remains is `ThreadSleeping` which is only handled in
the frontend, and there was some conflation between ThreadSleeping and
Running which was hard to gauge. So delete `Running` and
`WaitingToStart`, but move `ThreadSleeping` to the frontend.
Now that most of the thread tracking is in the frontend, change this
over to building the thread execution handler on the parent thread.
Removes a memory allocation/free pair, and removes the copy of each
variable in the child thread.
We were using this variable for two things, letting the frontend signal
to the backend that it wants to start executing once the thread is
created, and also for handling thread pausing. These two features are
conflated with one another and actually makes things more confusing.
- Move StartRunning/StartPaused to the frontend, because its a construct
that only needs to exist in the frontend
- Adds a FEX::HLE::ThreadStateObject CV for handling pausing, which only
needs to exist for gdbserver
FEXCore hasn't been returning anything other than EXIT_SHUTDOWN for a
long time, so this ended up just moving data around for no reason.
This isn't going to be used for further GdbServer work anyway, so just
completely remove it.
This is a Linux construct, move it to the frontend.
This is going to need some changes in the future since exit_group and
exit syscalls are supposed to behave differently than how FEX implements
it. For now just move it to the frontend.
GDB has two ways to read the registers. One way is reading the full
GDBContextDefinition, which matches the layout in `BuildTargetXML`.
The other way is to read the individual elements out of
GDBContextDefinition.
These two code paths were independently implemented. Instead generate in
one location and use in either location.

This currently happens in two locations, so split it out.
There's some behaviour here where if the TID isn't found, then it
returns the ParentThread of the process. This is working around a bug in
either FEX's gdbserver or binaryninja. Leave it currently before we
figure out what's wrong.

Previous `S AA` logic is legacy for non-multithreaded applications. This
newer command gives more information about what occured and in what
thread id.
Alloc::OSAllocator uses a TLS variable of the thread object so it can
use a forkable mutex plus a deferring signal section. This was setup
when the FEXCore "ExecutionThread" function is called, which is a bit
awkward and is an artifact from when the thread creation was mixed
between the frontend and the backend.
Instead let the frontend inform the backend when to install the TLS
variable.
This is one step required to make GdbServer work correctly again since
the thread initialization and pausing is awkward today.
