The frontend needs to be in control of how threads are created. This is
inherent to the fact that OS threads are OS specific. We currently have
this weird split that when initializing the FEXCore context, we create a
parent thread at all times.
This does some initial cleanup that gets the core initialization nearly
decoupled.
Suspend may be called on a thread before it has finished WOW64 initialisation,
keep track of all initialized threads and fallback to direct
NtSuspendThread when this is the case.
The frontend shouldn't need to know any information about how to
reconstruct eflags. Just give us the information we need and it'll work
out.
There are still some inherit limitations of this and some edge cases
that might give invalid data, but it is roughly as close as it was
before.
Just provide if the PC was in the JIT, the host GPRs, and the PState object from the signal
information and FEXCore does the rest.
We don't need to change the signature for `SetFlagsFromCompactedEFLAGS`
because during reloading of register state automatically does this for
us.
This provides more robust handling than a signal based approach, as the
suspender is able to wait for the suspendee to reach a suitable position and
flush its context to memory before returning.
This should support most simple cases of SMC, however programs which make use
of separate shared memory mappings for writing and execution are not handled.
The overall approach is the same as is done for linux, where RWX mappings are
protected to RX and then when a write occurs the signal handler invalidates the
faulting page and reprotects it to RWX until code in that page is jitted again.
When an exception occurs, pretend that we were just at the point of JIT entry
so the stack can be unwound to the wow64 SEH handler, which then handles
dispatching the exception to the x86 guest with the restored context.
This allows for running x86 applications under wine without having to run all
of wine under FEX. The JIT is invoked when running application code and then
left when handling NT syscalls or unix calls to e.g. the Vulkan driver.
