PSC services

PSC (Power State Control) provides services related to power state changes in the system.

Concept

psc:m allows a process to register a module that depends on power management in some way. A client calls GetPmModule to receive an IPmModule (Power Managed Module), and then calls IPmModule->Initialize(module_id, module_dependency_list) where module_id is the ModuleId enum member for the client, and the dependency list is an array of module IDs for the modules that this depends on. Initialize() returns an event handle that the client can wait on to be notified of a power state change.

psc:c allows a module to the power state controller for the system (in practice, AM is the only client to the controller). IPmControl->DispatchRequest() is used notify all IPmModules of a state change.

For example, FS registers itself as an IPmModule with dependencies on pinmux, gpio, pcv, tma, and initializes the SD card once those dependencies have registered..

It then does (basically) the following pseudocode (actual code located at .text + 0xB2DB0 in 6.0.0 FS):

   while (true) {
       Fs_IPmModule->WaitSignaled();
       
       Fs_IPmModule->GetRequest(&state);
       switch (state) {
           case WakingUp:
               /* hardware devices are woken up here */
           case GoingToSleep:
               /* hardware devices are put to sleep here */
           case ShuttingDown:
               /* hardware devices are turned off here */
       }
       
       Fs_IPmModule->Acknowledge(state);
   }

Cmd10100

Takes a type-0x9 input buffer containing an EventId string, a type-0x5 input buffer containing the Report, an input ProgramId, no output.

The EventId buffer size must be 0x1-0x20, and the last byte in the buffer must be NUL. nn::srepo::detail::VerifyEventId is then used with the EventId buffer, throwing error on failure.

The Report buffer is used with nn::srepo::detail::VerifyReport and with last param = 0x8000, throwing error on failure.

Lastly, the actual processing func is called, returning the Result from here. Besides various cmd input being passed to this etc, this also passes the output from nn::util::GenerateUuid() to this.

Cmd10101

Takes a type-0x9 input buffer containing an EventId string, a type-0x5 input buffer containing the Report, an 0x10-byte input struct, an input ProgramId, no output.

Same as #Cmd10100 except instead of calling the processing func with struct=all-zero, the input struct is passed instead (which must be non-zero).

Cmd10200

Takes a type-0x9 input buffer containing an EventId string, a type-0x5 input buffer containing the Report, an input ProgramId, no output.

Same as #Cmd10100 except the second param passed to the processing func is value 1 instead of 0.

Cmd10201

Takes a type-0x9 input buffer containing an EventId string, a type-0x5 input buffer containing the Report, an 0x10-byte input struct, an input ProgramId, no output.

Same as #Cmd10101 except the second param passed to the processing func is value 1 instead of 0.

Cmd10300

Takes a total of 0x28-bytes of input, a type-0x9 input buffer, a TransferMemory handle, returns an output #IAsyncContext.

The mapped TransferMemory buffer is used with nn::srepo::detail::VerifyReport, returning an error on failure.

Cmd11005

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, no output.

Cmd11006

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, no output.

Identical to #Cmd11005 except different input is passed to the called func (1 instead of 0).

Cmd12001

Takes an input u64, no output.

The input u64 is only used for comparing with a field in list entries.

OpenSyslogLogger

Takes a type-0x5 input buffer, no output.

[9.0.0+] No input, returns 3 u32s of output (sharedmem_size, out1, out2), an #ISyslogLogger, and a SharedMemory handle.

The SharedMemory is mapped with the returned size and with permissions=RW.

Cmd13001

Takes a total of 0x10-bytes of input, no output.

Cmd20100

Takes a type-0x16 output buffer and a type-0x6 output buffer, returns a total of 0x28-bytes of output.

[10.0.0+] This now takes an additional 0x10-bytes of input.

This is only usable with srepo:a.

Cmd20200

No input, returns an output handle.

This is only usable with srepo:a.

Cmd20300

No input/output.

Cmd20400

Takes an input u32 index, returns two output u64s.

The input index must be <=1. This gets data from a state array with the specified index.

Cmd20401

No input, returns two output u64s.

The first u64 is a constant value, while the second u64 is from state.

Cmd20402

Takes an input s64 and u64, no output.

The input s64 must be >=1. The two input fields are written into global state, and various state is also cleared.

Cmd20500

No input, returns two output u64s.

This gets two u64s from global state.

Cmd20600

Takes a 0x10-byte input struct and an u32, no output.

This goes through a list looking for an entry with data matching the input struct, then writes the input u32 into that entry.

This always returns 0.

This is an 0x4000-byte struct. Official sw uses fixed-size 0x4000 for the buffer size with the above commands.

This is loaded from the TimeZoneBinary title with the specified LocationName under the zoneinfo/ directory, the content is then converted into this TimeZoneRule structure.

The files contained under zoneinfo/ directory are Tzif2 files without Tzif1 header and data at the begining of them (see RFC8536 for more information).

The conversion of a Tzif2 file to a TimeZoneRule structure is based on tz database code with some custom modifications (Leap seconds aren't handled, no usage of "posixrules" and Tzif1 support stripped out).
