Makes it more evident that one is for actual code and one is for actual
data. Mutable and static are less than ideal terms here, because
read-only data is technically not mutable, but we were mapping it with
that label.
Given this is utilized by the loaders, this allows avoiding inclusion of
the kernel process definitions where avoidable.
This also keeps the loading format for all executable data separate from
the kernel objects.
This function passes in the desired main applet and library applet
volume levels. We can then just pass those values back within the
relevant volume getter functions, allowing us to unstub those as well.
The initial values for the library and main applet volumes differ. The
main applet volume is 0.25 by default, while the library applet volume
is initialized to 1.0 by default in the services themselves.
Rather than make a global accessor for this sort of thing. We can make
it a part of the thread interface itself. This allows getting rid of a
hidden global accessor in the kernel code.
This condition was checking against the nominal thread priority, whereas
the kernel itself checks against the current priority instead. We were
also assigning the nominal priority, when we should be assigning
current_priority, which takes priority inheritance into account.
This can lead to the incorrect priority being assigned to a thread.
Given we recursively update the relevant threads, we don't need to go
through the whole mutex waiter list. This matches what the kernel does
as well (only accessing the first entry within the waiting list).
Makes it an instantiable class like it is in the actual kernel. This
will also allow removing reliance on global accessors in a following
change, now that we can encapsulate a reference to the system instance
in the class.
Within the kernel, shared memory and transfer memory facilities exist as
completely different kernel objects. They also have different validity
checking as well. Therefore, we shouldn't be treating the two as the
same kind of memory.
They also differ in terms of their behavioral aspect as well. Shared
memory is intended for sharing memory between processes, while transfer
memory is intended to be for transferring memory to other processes.
This breaks out the handling for transfer memory into its own class and
treats it as its own kernel object. This is also important when we
consider resource limits as well. Particularly because transfer memory
is limited by the resource limit value set for it.
While we currently don't handle resource limit testing against objects
yet (but we do allow setting them), this will make implementing that
behavior much easier in the future, as we don't need to distinguish
between shared memory and transfer memory allocations in the same place.
With this, all kernel objects finally have all of their data members
behind an interface, making it nicer to reason about interactions with
other code (as external code no longer has the freedom to totally alter
internals and potentially messing up invariants).
After doing a little more reading up on the Opus codec, it turns out
that the multistream API that is part of libopus can handle regular
packets. Regular packets are just a degenerate case of multistream Opus
packets, and all that's necessary is to pass the number of streams as 1
and provide a basic channel mapping, then everything works fine for
that case.
This allows us to get rid of the need to use both APIs in the future
when implementing multistream variants in a follow-up PR, greatly
simplifying the code that needs to be written.
