This new mechanism allows an add-in to be restarted after exiting by
just never exiting in the first place, calling gint_osmenu() instead.
This makes sure that we can relaunch the add-in immediately, which is
normally possible through an option in the OS though no OS-independent
method of setting it is currently known.
Because this is gint_osmenu(), known pitfalls apply. On all platforms,
it is necessary to prepare the first frame before leaving. On fx-CG 50,
the inevitable display border is also there.
Disables spread spectrum by default so that the frequency estimations of
the CPG driver (notably used by the timer driver and libprof) are more
accurate.
* Define dgray() to replace gray_start() and gray_stop()
* Introduce a mechanism to override the d*() functions rather than using
another set of functions, namely g*(). Gray rendering should now be
done with d*() (a compatibility macro for g*() is available until v2.1).
* Gray engine now reserves TMU0 at the start of the add-in to prevent
surprises if timers are exhausted, so it nevers fails to start
* Replace other gray engine functions with dgray_*()
* More general rendering functions (in render/) to lessen the burden of
porting them to the gray engine. As a consequence, dtext_opt(),
dprint_opt() and drect_border() are now available in the gray engine,
which was an omission from 230b796.
* Allow C_NONE in more functions, mainly on fx-CG 50
* Remove the now-unused dupdate_noint()
This change moves interrupt handler from VBR + 0x640 to VBR + 0x200, in
the gap between the exception and TLB miss handlers.
This new scheme is not limited to VBR+0x200 .. VBR+0x400 as new large
block numbers can be used to jump over the TLB miss handler and the
interrupt handler entry points.
This change adds optimized versions of the core memory functions,
relying on 4-alignment, 2-alignment, and the SH4's unaligned move
instruction to (hopefully) attain good performance in all situations.
Gray quality is better on the Graph 35+E II, it still flickers a lot on
other models (as I remembered). There might be better settings out there
but I'm not sure we can reach the quality of the current Graph 35+E II
defaults. The Graph 75+E with which I tested might also be different
from other T6K11 such as the smaller Graph 35+E.
This change enables interrupts within timer callbacks, making it
possible to load pages to MMU while handling a timer underflow. The call
to TLB_LoadPTEH() has been moved directly into the VBR handler to avoid
jumping to ILRAM for a short call on SH4.
The TMU and ETMU handlers have been changed to callback through a new
function gint_inth_callback() that saves the user bank and a few
registers, then invokes the callback with interrupts enabled and in user
bank; until now, callbacks were invoked with interrupts disabled and in
kernel bank. Note that IMASK is still set so a callback can only be
interrupted by a high-priority interrupt.
A timer_wait() function has also been added to simplify tests that
involve timers. Finally, the priority level of the TMU0 underflow
interrupt has been set to 13 (as per the comments) instead of 7.
This version is the first stable version that handles TLB misses
transparently for large add-ins. It is suitable for every gint
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 commit improves the stability of gint_switch() in two ways:
1. Wait for hardware availability every time driver contexts are saved
or reloaded; this solves crashes due to DMA use when gint takes
control after a BFile call, since BFile_Create() (and possibly
BFile_Write()) leave the DMA running after returning.
2. Remap the add-in after a switch, as apparently calling BFile
functions causes some pages to be evicted. This is more noticeable on
fxcg50 when the size of add-ins nears 220k.
Additionally, dma_transfer_wait() has been updated to not sleep() unless
it is certain that the conditions for wakeup are fulfilled, as this
would sometimes freeze.
For some reason these syscalls tend to crash in a basic delete, create,
open, write, close workflow (after the write is finished). I'll look
into using the new gint/fxlib switch to use them safely.
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

This macro used to protect the declaration of the [vram] variable of
gint. This variable was short to keep drawing functions short but could
clutter the namespace.
That being said, it's even better to just [#define vram gint_vram] if
you need. This change renames the variable to [gint_vram], exposes it
whenever <gint/display.h> is included, and removes the GINT_NEED_VRAM
macro altogether.
This change adds a keydown() function that is synchronized with events,
ie. it returns the key state as seen by previously read events.
It also completely eliminates low-level repeat events, which are not
very meaningul as the keyboard scan frequency goes up (and would be
meaningless if KEYSC interrupts were used), and adapts getkey() by
giving it access to the current driver time through pollevent().
This change introduces two new mechanismes for executing user code when
an exception occurs.
* This first is the custom panic message, which usually displays "System
ERROR". The function that performs this task can now be user-defined.
It is also run in user mode because the exception handler rte's into
it, allowing it to execute any kind of interrupt-inducing task. The
behavior is undefined if this function raises an exception.
* The second is an exception-catching function, which (when set) is
called every time an exception occurs, and is granted the chance of
handling the exception to continue execution normally. It can be used
in various ways, the most primitive of which is recording the
exception and going back. It runs in interrupt mode and must not raise
any kind of exception.
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.
* 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
