Reimagining of #3355 without any json generators or new concepts.
Fixes some mislabeling of system calls. Some getting inlined when they
shouldn't be, a lot not getting inlined when they can be.
This really cleans up the syscall implementation, all syscalls that can
be passthrough implementations require a very small two line
declaration.
Additionally cleans up a bit of implementation cruft where some
passthrough syscalls were using the glibc syscall handler, and some were
using the glibc implementation. We have had multiple issues in the past
where the glibc implementation does something subtly different than the
raw syscall and breaks things. Now all passthrough handlers do a system
call directly, removing at least one indirection and some ambiguity.
This makes it significantly easier to add new passthrough syscalls as
well. Only need to do a version check and add the three lines per
syscall. Which there are new syscalls incoming that we will want to add.
Tangible improvements:
- Syscalls are lower overhead than ever.
- When I'm adding more syscalls I have less chance of mucking it up.
We are required in our syscall emulation to handle cases where pointers
are invalid. This means we need to pessimistically assume a memcpy will
fault when reading application memory.
This implements a signal handler based approach to catching the SIGSEGV
on memcpy and returning an EFAULT if it faults.
Lots going on here.
This moves OS thread object lifetime management and internal thread
state lifetime management to the frontend. This causes a bunch of thread
handling to move from the FEXCore Context to the frontend.
Looking at `FEXCore/include/FEXCore/Core/Context.h` really shows how
much of the API has moved to the frontend that FEXCore no longer needs
to manage. Primarily this makes FEXCore itself no longer need to care
about most of the management of the emulation state.
A large amount of the behaviour moved wholesale from Core.cpp to
LinuxEmulation's ThreadManager.cpp. Which this manages the lifetimes of
both the OS threads and the FEXCore thread state objects.
One feature lost was the instruction capability, but this was already
buggy and is going to be rewritten/fixed when gdbserver work continues.
Now that all of this management is moved to the frontend, the gdbserver
can start improving since it can start managing all thread state
directly.
Which requires moving LinuxEmulation to its own independent folder as
well. Since both IRLoader and FEXLoader rely on it.
No functional change, just moves the the code around.
