There were three distinct mechanisms for signaling symbol changes in DolphinQt: `Host::NotifyMapLoaded`, `MenuBar::NotifySymbolsUpdated`, and `CodeViewWidget::SymbolsChanged`. The behavior of these signals has been consolidated into the new `Host::PPCSymbolsUpdated` signal, which can be emitted from anywhere in DolphinQt to properly update symbols everywhere in DolphinQt.
This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.
These values were obtained by setting a breakpoint at a game's entry point, and then observing the register values with Dolphin's register widget.
There are other registers that aren't handled by this PR, including CR, XER, SRR0, SRR1, and "Int Mask" (as well as most of the GPRs). They could be added in a later PR if it turns out that their values matter, but probably most of them don't.
This fixes Datel titles booting with the IPL skipped (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8223), though when booted this way they are currently missing textures. Due to somewhat janky code, Datel overwrites the syscall interrupt handler and then immediately triggers it (with the `sc` instruction) before they restore the correct one. This works on real hardware due to icache, and also works in Dolphin when the IPL runs due to icache, but prior to this change `HID0.ICE` defaulted to 0 so icache was not enabled when the IPL was skipped.

(This probably doesn't really fix that issue, but it's something
I thought would make sense anyway.)
...in addition to the existing function CreateVolume
(renamed from CreateVolumeFromFilename).
Lets code easily add constraints such as not letting the user
select a WAD file when using the disc changing functionality.
This fixes the The Last Story prototype that GerbilSoft was testing,
because the apploader is a bit more lenient with the max size of DOL
sections when it detects that you're using a devkit console.
This allows avoiding two copies of the executable data being created in
the following scenario (using pseudocode):
some_function()
{
std::vector<u8> data = ...;
DolReader reader{data};
...
}
In this scenario, if we only use the data for passing it to DolReader,
then we have to perform a copy, as the constructor takes the std::vector
as a constant reference -- you cannot move from a constant reference,
and so we copy data into the DolReader, and perform another copy in the
constructor itself when assigning the data to the m_bytes member
variable. However, we can do better.
Now, the following is allowable as well:
some_function()
{
std::vector<u8> data = ...;
DolReader reader{std::move(data)};
...
}
and now we perform no copy at any point in the reader's construction, as
we just std::move the data all the way through to m_bytes.
In the case where we *do* want to keep the executable data around after
constructing the reader, then we can just pass the vector without
std::move-ing it, and we only perform a copy once (as we'll std::move
said copy into m_bytes). Therefore, we get a more flexible interface
resource-wise out of it.
This removes the hack that enables directly booting from WADs
without installing them first for the following reasons:
1. It makes the NAND content handling much more complicated than what
it should be and makes future changes like permissions or booting
NAND titles without a WAD more annoying to implement.
Because of this hack, we needed an extra level of abstraction
(NANDContent*) which has to read tons of things from the NAND, even
most of the time it's useless. This in turn forces us to have
caching, which is known to break titles and requires manual cache
invalidations. Annoying and error prone.
2. It prevents the WAD boot code from being easily accurate. With this
change, we can simply reuse the existing launch code, and ask IOS
to launch the title from the NAND.
3. The hack did not work that well since it did not cover a lot of ES
commands. And it works even less since the ES accuracy fixes.
This results in Dolphin returning inconsistent results: a
lot of the ES "DI" commands will just fail because the active title
is not installed on the NAND. uid.sys is not changed, etc.
And I'm not even talking about FS stuff -- where this would still
totally fail, unless we add even more unnecessary hacks.
This is not just theoretical -- the system menu and the Wii Shop are
known to behave strangely because the hack damages the NAND
structure, and we've already had several users report issues.
This commit makes it so WADs are always installed prior to launching.
A future commit will remove any code that was there only for the hack.
It's not specific to WADs. The BS2 emulation boot code will also need
to update the state file.
Move the struct to Boot and add a helper function that will handle
reading + computing the checksum + writing the state file.
This lets VolumeDirectory/DirectoryBlob skip implementing
various volume functions like GetGameID, GetBanner, etc.
It also lets us view extracted discs in the game list.
This ends up breaking the boot process for Wii
DirectoryBlobs due to workarounds being removed from the
boot process, but that will be fixed later by adding
proper DirectoryBlob support for things like TMDs.
We now expect the directories to be laid out in a certain
format (based on the format that WIT uses) instead of requiring
the user to set the DVD root and apploader path settings.
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
By removing mutable state in VolumeWiiCrypted, this change makes
partition-related code simpler. It also gets rid of other ugly things,
like ISOProperties's "over 9000" loop that creates a list of
partitions by trying possible combinations, and DiscScrubber's
volume swapping that recreates the entire volume when it needs to
change partition.
This implements MIOS's PPC bootstrapping functionality, which enables
users to start a GameCube game from the Wii System Menu.
Because we aren't doing Starlet LLE (and don't have a boot1), we can
just jump to MIOS when the emulated software does an ES_LAUNCH or uses
ioctlv 0x25 to launch BC.
Note that the process is more complex on a real Wii and goes through
several more steps before getting to MIOS:
* The System Menu detects a GameCube disc and launches BC (1-100)
instead of the game. [Dolphin does this too.]
* BC, which is reportedly very similar to boot1, lowers the Hollywood
clock speed to the Flipper's and then launches boot2.
* boot2 sees the lowered clock speed and launches MIOS (1-101) instead
of the System Menu.
MIOS runs instead of IOS in GC mode and has an embedded GC IPL (which
is the code actually responsible for loading the disc game) and a PPC
bootstrap code. To get things working properly, we simply need to load
both to memory, then jump to the bootstrap code at 0x3400.
Obviously, because of the way this works, a real MIOS is required.
