This change ports the TLB management system to fx9860g through %003.
This raises the size limit for add-ins to about 500k.
Because SH3 fx9860g does not have ILRAM, the GMAPPED attribute has been
made to generate content to a .gint.mapped section which is sent to the
P1 RAM section historically dubbed "real ram" in which gint's data and
VBR are installed. (Now that I think about it, gint's data should try to
go to normal RAM instead to reduce pressure on this invasion.)
Return-to-menu was also fixed on both platforms by narrowing down the
need for code to remain mapped to the chance of running it with
interrupts disabled. The natural distribution of GMAPPED under this
criterion showed that _gint_setvbr had been left under TLB control;
moving it to the proper RAM area fixed gint switches.
Finally, an omission in the bound checks for mappable TEA addresses (TEA
>= 0x00300000) prevented the appearance of a non-interactible System
ERROR popup when some unmapped addresses are accessed.
This version still does not enable interrupts in timer callbacks,
exposing any application to a crash if a timer underflows while its
callback is not mapped. It is not suitable for any stable application!
This change adds a TLB miss handler that calls __TLB_LoadPTEH() and
removes the startu mapping of add-in pages in the explore() routine of
src/core/start.c.
Note that calling __TLB_LoadPTEH() manually might unexpectedly lead to a
TLB multihit problem as the requested page might be accidentally loaded
by a TLB miss in the code that loads it. A TLB multihit is a platform
reset, so this function should always be considered unsafe to call
(unless the calling code is in a combination of P1 space and ILRAM).
This change also moves a lot of functions out of the .pretext section,
notably topti, as this was designed to allow panic messages when the
add-in couldn't be mapped entirely. By contrast, a GMAPPED macro has
been defined to mark crucial kernel code and data that must remain
mapped at all times. This currently puts the data in ILRAM because
static RAM is not executable. An alternative will have to be found for
SH3-based fx9860g machines.
This version still does not allow TLB misses in timer callbacks and
breaks return-to-menu in a severe way! It is not suitable for any
stable application!
This change modifies the fx-CG 50 linker script to allow add-ins up to
2M and no longer complains about add-ins that don't fit in the TLB.
It also exposes the __TLB_LoadPTEH() syscall (%003 on fx9860g, %00c on
fxcg50) that answers TLB misses. This syscall can be called manually
from an add-in to load some pages and seems to work without problem.
However, this version does not provide any automatic TLB management,
some key areas of the kernel are still under TLB and some user code
(such as timer callbacks) is not! This version is suitable only for
add-ins smaller than 220k!

This change adds support for three sections .ilram, .xram and .yram,
along with three macros GILRAM, GXRAM and GYRAM, that can be used to
statically load data to on-chip memory.
This change introduces exception handlers that default to a fatal error
with an on-screen description of the exception and some debugging
information.
It also adds the dprint() function as a definitely-needed helper and
removes bootlog_unmapped() by using the exception handler for the fatal
error display. (Also printf() is now required in all gint add-ins; this
is sad, but space is not as much of a constraint as debugging.)
Finally, the exception handler is used to handle an interrupt which is
an exception in practice, the DMA address error. On fx-CG 50, additional
DMA-related information is displayed on the screen. This is left out on
fx-9860G as there is not enough space.
