svcSetHeapSize
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) W1 | u64 | Size |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
| (Out) X1 | u64 | OutAddr |
Description: Set the process heap to a given Size. It can both extend and shrink the heap.
Size must be a multiple of 0x200000.
On success, the heap base-address (which is fixed by kernel, aslr'd) is written to OutAddr.
[2.0.0+] Size must be less than 0x18000000.
svcSetMemoryPermission
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X0 | void* | Addr |
| (In) X1 | u64 | Size |
| (In) W2 | #Permission | Prot |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
Description: Change permission of page-aligned memory region.
Bit2 of permission (exec) is not allowed. Setting write-only is not allowed either (bit1).
This can be used to move back and forth between ---, r-- and rw-.
svcSetMemoryAttribute
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X0 | void* | Addr |
| (In) X1 | u64 | Size |
| (In) W2 | u32 | State0 |
| (In) W3 | u32 | State1 |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
Description: Change attribute of page-aligned memory region.
This is used to turn on/off caching for a given memory area. Useful when talking to devices such as the GPU.
What happens "under the hood" is the "Memory Attribute Indirection Register" index is changed from 2 to 3 in the MMU descriptor.
| State0 | State1 | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Clear bit3 in #MemoryAttribute. |
| 8 | 0 | Clear bit3 in #MemoryAttribute. |
| 8 | 8 | Set bit3 in #MemoryAttribute. |
svcMapMemory
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X0 | void* | DstAddr |
| (In) X1 | void* | SrcAddr |
| (In) X2 | u64 | Size |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
Description: Maps a memory range into a different range.
Mainly used for adding guard pages around stack.
Source range gets reprotected to --- (it can no longer be accessed), and bit0 is set in the source #MemoryAttribute.
If dstaddr >= LowerTreshold, the dst-range is enforced to be within the process' "MapRegion". Code can get the range of this region from #svcGetInfo id0=2,3.
In this case, the mapped memory will have state 0x5C3C0B.
As long as (dstaddr+size) < LowerThreshold, then you can map anywhere but the mapped memory will have state 0x482907 instead.
LowerTreshold is 0x80000000 for 36-bit address spaces, and 0x40000000 for 32-bit ones.
[2.0.0+] Support for the 0x482907 mappings outside the "MapRegion" were removed.

| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X0 | void* | DstAddr |
| (In) X1 | void* | SrcAddr |
| (In) X2 | u64 | Size |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
Description: Unmaps a region that was previously mapped with #svcMapMemory.
It's possible to unmap ranges partially, you don't need to unmap the entire range "in one go".
The srcaddr/dstaddr must match what was given when the pages were originally mapped.
svcQueryMemory
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X0 | #MemoryInfo* | MemInfo |
| (In) X2 | void* | Addr |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |

| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
Maps the block supplied by the handle. The required permissions are different for the process that created the handle and all other processes.
Increases reference count for the KSharedMemory object. Thus in order to release the memory associated with the object, all handles to it must be closed and all mappings must be unmapped.
svcCreateTransferMemory
| Argument | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|
| (In) X1 | void* | Addr |
| (In) X2 | u64 | Size |
| (In) W3 | #Permission | Permissions |
| (Out) W0 | #Result | Ret |
| (Out) W1 | Handle<TransferMemory> | Handle |
This one reprotects the src block with perms you give it. It also sets bit0 into #MemoryAttribute.
Executable bit perm not allowed.
Closing all handles automatically causes the bit0 in #MemoryAttribute to clear, and the permission to reset.

| (Out) W0 | #Result | Result |
| (Out) W1 | u32 | HandleIndex |
If ReplyTarget is not zero, a reply from the TLS will be sent to that session. Then it will wait until either of the passed sessions has an incoming message, is closed, a passed port has an incoming connection, or the timeout expires. If there is an incoming message, it is copied to the TLS.
After being validated, passed handles will be enumerated in order; even if a session has been closed, if one that appears earlier in the list has an incoming message, it will take priority and a result code of 0x0 will be returned.
Result codes
0x0: Success. Either a session has an incoming message or a port has an incoming connection. HandleIndex is set appropriately.
0xea01: Timeout. No handles were signalled before the timeout expired. HandleIndex is not updated.
0xf601: Port remote dead. One of the sessions has been closed. HandleIndex is set appropriately.

For MapJitOperation_MapOwner, memory permission must be RW-.
For MapJitOperation_MapSlave, memory permission must be R-- or R-X.
Operations MapJitOperation_UnmapOwner/MapJitOperation_UnmapSlave unmap memory that was previously mapped this way.
This allows one "secure JIT" process to map the memory as RW-, and the other "slave" process to map it R-X.

Read/write IO registers with a hardcoded whitelist. Input address is physical-address and must be aligned to 4.
rw_mask is 0 for reading and 0xffffffff for writing. You can also write individual bits by using a mask value.
You can only write to registers inside physical pages 0x70019000 (MC), 0x7001C000 (MC0), 0x7001D000 (MC1), and they all share the same whitelist.
The whitelist is same for writing as for reading.
The whitelist is:
0x054, 0x090, 0x094, 0x098, 0x09c, 0x0a0, 0x0a4, 0x0a8, 0x0ac, 0x0b0, 0x0b4, 0x0b8, 0x0bc, 0x0c0, 0x0c4, 0x0c8, 0x0d0, 0x0d4, 0x0d8, 0x0dc, 0x0e0, 0x100, 0x108, 0x10c, 0x118, 0x11c, 0x124, 0x128, 0x12c, 0x130, 0x134, 0x138, 0x13c, 0x158, 0x15c, 0x164, 0x168, 0x16c, 0x170, 0x174, 0x178, 0x17c, 0x200, 0x204, 0x2e4, 0x2e8, 0x2ec, 0x2f4, 0x2f8, 0x310, 0x314, 0x320, 0x328, 0x344, 0x348, 0x370, 0x374, 0x37c, 0x380, 0x390, 0x394, 0x398, 0x3ac, 0x3b8, 0x3bc, 0x3c0, 0x3c4, 0x3d8, 0x3e8, 0x41c, 0x420, 0x424, 0x428, 0x42c, 0x430, 0x44c, 0x47c, 0x480, 0x484, 0x50c, 0x554, 0x558, 0x55c, 0x670, 0x674, 0x690, 0x694, 0x698, 0x69c, 0x6a0, 0x6a4, 0x6c0, 0x6c4, 0x6f0, 0x6f4, 0x960, 0x970, 0x974, 0xa20, 0xa24, 0xb88, 0xb8c, 0xbc4, 0xbc8, 0xbcc, 0xbd0, 0xbd4, 0xbd8, 0xbdc, 0xbe0, 0xbe4, 0xbe8, 0xbec, 0xc00, 0xc5c, 0xcac
[2.0.0+] Whitelist was extended with 0x4c4, 0x4c8, 0x4cc, 0x584, 0x588, 0x58c.
[2.0.0+] The IO registers in range 0x7000E400 (PMC) size 0xC00 skip the whitelist, and do a TrustZone call using SMC Id1 0xC3000008(ReadWriteRegister).
[4.0.0+] Access to the Memory Controller (0x70019000) also uses smcReadWriteRegister.
Here is the whitelist imposed by that SMC, relative to the start of the PMC registers:
0x000, 0x00c, 0x010, 0x014, 0x01c, 0x020, 0x02c, 0x030, 0x034, 0x038, 0x03c, 0x040, 0x044, 0x048, 0x0dc, 0x0e0, 0x0e4, 0x160, 0x164, 0x168, 0x170, 0x1a8, 0x1b8, 0x1bc, 0x1c0, 0x1c4, 0x1c8, 0x2b4, 0x2d4, 0x440, 0x4d8
Here is the whitelist imposed by smcReadWriteRegister (checked in addition to the whitelist in svcReadWriteRegister), relative to the start of the MC registers:

Debugging
[2.0.0+] Exactly 6 debug SVCs require that IsDebugMode is non-zero. Error 0x4201 is returned otherwise.
- svcBreakDebugProcess
- svcContinueDebugEvent
- svcWriteDebugProcessMemory
- svcSetDebugThreadContext
- svcTerminateDebugProcess
- svcSetHardwareBreakPoint
svcDebugActiveProcess stops execution of the target process, the normal method for resuming it requires svcContinueDebugEvent(see above). Closing the debug handle also results in execution being resumed.

Exception handling
There is userland code for handling exceptions, however this doesn't seem to be executed on retail mode.
When a usermode exception occurs, it jumps to the main code binary entrypoint (main_binary_address + 0 == _start).
During normal boot _start is invoked with X0=0 and X1=main_thread_handle (triggering normal crt0 setup). During an usermode exception _start is invoked with X0=exception_info0_ptr and X1=exception_info1_ptr instead.
The _start method determines whether to boot normally or handle an exception if X0 is set to 0 or not.
