Changes in the driver and world system:
* Rewrite driver logic to include more advanced concepts. The notion of
binding a driver to a device is introduced to formalize wait(); power
management is now built-in instead of being handled by the drivers
(for instance DMA). The new driver model is described in great detail
in <gint/drivers.h>
* Formalized the concept of "world switch" where the hardware state is
saved and later restored. As a tool, the world switch turns out to be
very stable, and allows a lot of hardware manipulation that would be
edgy at best when running in the OS world.
* Added a GINT_DRV_SHARED flag for drivers to specify that their state
is shared between worlds and not saved/restored. This has a couple of
uses.
* Exposed a lot more of the internal driver/world system as their is no
particular downside to it. This includes stuff in <gint/drivers.h>
and the driver's state structures in <gint/drivers/states.h>. This is
useful for debugging and for cracked concepts, but there is no
API stability guarantee.
* Added a more flexible driver level system that allows any 2-digit
level to be used.
Feature changes:
* Added a CPU driver that provides the VBR change as its state save.
Because the whole context switch relied on interrupts being disabled
anyway, there is no longer an inversion of control when setting the
VBR; this is just part of the CPU driver's configuration. The CPU
driver may also support other features such as XYRAM block transfer
in the future.
* Moved gint_inthandler() to the INTC driver under the name
intc_handler(), pairing up again with intc_priority().
* Added a reentrant atomic lock based on the test-and-set primitive.
Interrupts are disabled with IMASK=15 for the duration of atomic
operations.
* Enabled the DMA driver on SH7305-based fx-9860G. The DMA provides
little benefit on this platform because the RAM is generally faster
and buffers are ultimately small. The DMA is still not available on
SH3-based fx-9860G models.
* Solved an extremely obnoxious bug in timer_spin_wait() where the
timer is not freed, causing the callback to be called when interrupts
are re-enabled. This increments a random value on the stack. As a
consequence of the change, removed the long delays in the USB driver
since they are not actually needed.
Minor changes:
* Deprecated some of the elements in <gint/hardware.h>. There really is
no good way to "enumerate" devices yet.
* Deprecated gint_switch() in favor of a new function
gint_world_switch() which uses the GINT_CALL abstraction.
* Made the fx-9860G VRAM 32-aligned so that it can be used for tests
with the DMA.
Some features of the driver and world systems have not been implemented
yet, but may be in the future:
* Some driver flags should be per-world in order to create multiple
gint worlds. This would be useful in Yatis' hypervisor.
* A GINT_DRV_LAZY flag would be useful for drivers that don't want to
be started up automatically during a world switch. This is relevant
for drivers that have a slow start/stop sequence. However, this is
tricky to do correctly as it requires dynamic start/stop and also
tracking which world the current hardware state belongs to.
The unload() function is not very relevant for drivers because hardware
state is managed by ctx_save() and ctx_restore() and software state is
managed by underlying drivers when there are dependencies.
For now, it's been replaced with a wait() function that allows drivers
to not be interrupted at any point. It is currently used by the DMA to
wait for ongoing transfers to finish before disabling interrupts (which
would prevent the transfer end from being detected) and switching in and
out of gint.
* Add the gint_switch() function which executes user-provided code from
the system (CASIOWIN) context.
* Added interrupt masks to the core context (should have been there long
ago).
* Added the gint_osmenu() function that switches out of gint to invoke
GetKeyWait() and inject KEY_CTRL_MENU to trigger the main menu. This
uses many CASIOWIN syscalls, but we don't care because gint is unloaded.
Trickery is used to catch the key following the return in the add-in
and/or display a new application frame before GetKeyWait() even finishes
after coming back. This is only available on fx9860g for now.
* Removed any public syscall definition to clear up interfaces.
* Patched the DMA interruption problem in a weird way on fxcg50, a
driver function will be used to do that properly eventually.
* Changed the driver model to save driver contexts in preallocated
spaces instead of on the stack for overall less risk.
* Enabled return-to-menu with the MENU key on fx9860g in getkey().
* Changed the keyboard driver to emit releases before presses, as a
return-to-menu acts as a press+release of different keys in a single
driver frame, which confuses getkey().
* Fixed a really stupid bug in memcpy() that made the function really
not work.
Improvements in the timer driver:
* Expose ETMU modules as SH7705_TMU and SH7305_TMU in <gint/mpu/tmu.h>.
* Remove the timer_t structures, using SH*_ETMU and SH*_TMU instead.
Only interrupt gate entries are left hardcoded.
* Discovered that not only every write to the TCNT or TCR of an ETMU
takes about 1/32k of a second (hinting at registers being powered by
the same clock as the timer), but every write occuring while a previous
write is pending is *lost*. This led to terrible bugs when switching
ETMU contexts too fast in gint_switch().
* Removed an internal timer_address() function.
* Overall simplified the handling of timers and the initialization step.
t6k11: use the gint array for variant detection
r61524: use true triple buffering by default
display: define DWIDTH and DHEIGHT
display: add C_RGB(r,g,b) (0 ≤ r,g,b ≤ 31) [fxcg50]
* Now uses topti instead of fxlib for text (including MMU failure)
* Fit .pretext into 4k for everything before MMU succeeds
* A short version of sprintf() for dynamic messages
* Support a driver function, status(), to allow early driver debug
* Expose more useful platform information in <gint/mpu.h>
* Expose the first of a few CASIOWIN syscalls
