Webkit applet creates the shared memory with perm = 0 and size 0x300000.

Ioctls

The ioctl number is generated with the following primitive (see Linux kernel): 

#define _IOC(inout, group, num, len) \
   (inout | ((len & IOCPARM_MASK) << 16) | ((group) << 8) | (num))

The following table contains known ioctls.

/dev/nvhost-as-gpu

Each fd opened to this device creates an address space. An address space is then later bound with a channel.

 struct {
   u64 __offset;    // in
   u32 __pages;     // in
   u32 __page_size; // in
 };

NVGPU_AS_IOCTL_INITIALIZE

   u32 __zeroes[3]; // in
 };

NVGPU_AS_IOCTL_INITIALIZE_EX

 struct {

NVMAP_IOC_CREATE

Creates an nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   u32 __size;   // in
   u32 __handle; // out
 };

NVMAP_IOC_FROM_ID

Get handle to an existing nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   u32 __id;     // in
   u32 __handle; // out
 };

NVMAP_IOC_ALLOC

Allocate memory for the nvmap object. Nintendo extended this one with 16 bytes, and changed it from in to inout. 

 struct {
   u32 __handle;   // in
   u32 __heapmask; // in
   u32 __flags;    // in (0=read-only, 1=read-write)
   u32 __align;    // in
   u8  __unk0;     // in
   u8  __pad[7];
   u64 __addr;     // in
 };

NVMAP_IOC_FREE

This one is completely custom. Partly because the Linux driver passed the handle as the ioctl "arg-ptr", and HIPC can't handle that voodoo. 

 struct {
   u32 __handle;   // in
   u32 __pad;
   u64 __refcount; // out
   u32 __size;     // out
   u32 __flags;    // out
 };

NVMAP_IOC_PARAM

Returns info about a nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver, but extended with further params. 

 struct {
   u32 __handle; // in
   u32 __param;  // in, 1=SIZE, 2=ALIGNMENT, 3=?, 4=?, 5=UNK0, 6=?
   u32 __result; // out
 };

NVMAP_IOC_GET_ID

Returns an id for a nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   u32 __id;     // out
   u32 __handle; // in
 };

/dev/nvhost-ctrl-gpu

This device is for global (context independent) operations on the gpu.
