This commit introduces a large architectural change. Unlike previous
models of the fx-9860G series, the G-III models have a new user RAM
address different from 8801c000. The purpose of this change is to
dynamically load GMAPPED functions to this address by querying the TLB,
and call them through a function pointer whose address is determined
when loading.
Because of the overhead of using a function pointer in both assembly and
C code, changes have been made to avoid GMAPPED functions altogether.
Current, only cpu_setVBR() and gint_inth_callback() are left, the second
being used specifically to enable TLB misses when needed.
* Add a .gint.mappedrel section for the function pointers holding
addresses to GMAPPED functions; add function pointers for
cpu_setVBR() and gint_inth_callback()
* Move rram to address 0 instead of the hardcoded 0x8801c000
* Load GMAPPED functions at their linked address + the physical address
user RAM is mapped, to and compute their function pointers
* Remove the GMAPPED macro since no user function needs it anymore
* Add section flags "ax" (code) or "aw" (data) to every custom .section
in assembler code, as they default to unpredictable values that can
cause the section to be marked NOLOAD by the linker
* Update the main kernel, TMU, ETMU and RTC interrupt handlers to use
the new indirect calling method
This is made possible by new MMU functions giving direct access to the
physical area behind any virtualized page.
* Add an mmu_translate() function to query the TLB
* Add an mmu_uram() function to access user RAM from P1
The exception catching mechanism has been modified to avoid the use of
GMAPPED functions altogether.
* Set SR.BL=0 and SR.IMASK=15 before calling exception catchers
* Move gint_exc_skip() to normal text ROM
* Also fix registers not being popped off the stack before a panic
The timer drivers have also been modified to avoid GMAPPED functions.
* Invoke timer_stop() through gint_inth_callback() and move it to ROM
* Move and expand the ETMU driver to span 3 blocks at 0xd00 (ETMU4)
* Remove the timer_clear() function by inlining it into the ETMU handler
(TCR is provided within the storage block of each timer)
* Also split src/timer/inth.s into src/timer/inth-{tmu,etmu}.s
Additionally, VBR addresses are now determined at runtime to further
reduce hardcoded memory layout addresses in the linker script.
* Determine fx-9860G VBR addresses dynamically from mmu_uram()
* Determine fx-CG 50 VBR addresses dynamically from mmu_uram()
* Remove linker symbols for VBR addresses
Comments and documentation have been updated throughout the code to
reflect the changes.
Since both platforms now have their VBR and gint-specific data loaded
along the add-in's data, the .gint.data section is entirely unused.
The .gint.bss section is still used for uninitialized objects (it has
different semantics than .bss which is initially cleared) and the
.gint.data.sh3 and .gint.bss.sh3 sections that are dropped on the
SH4-only fx-CG 50 are also still used.
This change puts an end to the illegal occupation of some random RAM
area, solving most of the return-to-menu issues, including (but not
limited to) random key presses, multiple return, and VBR being
overwritten.
There are still known return-to-menu issues on SH3 (mainly just
GetKeyWait() returning immediately to gint probably due to multiple
KEY_CTRL_MENU being injected), but nothing crashy.
I have recenty discovered that the so-called "rram" section used by gint
to store its VBR space and a couple memory structures gets overwritten
when returning to the main menu. It is thus necessary to get rid of it
and store that data somewhere else.
My current lead is to have it at the start of the static RAM by querying
its address in the TLB. However, the static RAM is very small on SH3
(8k) so the VBR must be made more compact.
This change elaborates the event code translation scheme used on SH3 to
emulate SH4 event codes. It is now used to translate the event codes to
a gint-specific VBR layout that leaves no gaps and thus reduces the size
of the VBR space. The gint_inthandler() method has to be modified for
every new SH3 interrupt to maintain this scheme.
* Removed .pretext sections since the TLB is now entirely dynamic; left
only .text.entry for the start symbol.
* Reworked the main files of src/core to move the INTC to its own driver
and let the kernel handle only VBR space and CPU (now: VBR & CPUOPM).
* Moved src/core/gint.c to src/core/kernel.c and centralized all driver
loops that save or restore context for more robustness. This leaves
the callbacks of cpu_setVBR() (formerly gint_setvbr()) pretty short.
* Coalesced gint_switch_out() and gint_switch_in() into a single
function callback for cpu_setVBR().
* Added an abstraction of interrupt signals as an enumerated value so
that drivers no longer hardcode the IPR and IMR numbers and bits,
sometimes even with isSH3() due to differences in the SH7705.
* Changed the interrupt blocking method in cpu_setVBR() from SR.BL=1 to
SR.IMASK=15 so that TLB misses are still handled. This removes the
need for callback functions to be GMAPPED.
* Moved gint_osmenu() and its utilities to a new file src/core/osmenu.c.
This change removes the RRAM region which was inherited from the fx9860g
memory layout but no longer relevant on fxcg50. This removed one
occurrence of a hardcoded user stack address in the linker script, the
other being the VBR address. But since the VBR only contains
position-independent code that is manually "relocated" at startup, the
linker script needs not actually use its value, so this is not a true
dependency.
gint should now more or less be able to boot up on an fxcg20, except for
the hardcoded VRAM addresses which need to be moved to the fxcg20 system
stack.
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 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.
