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 (2MB).

On success, the heap base-address (which is fixed by kernel, aslr'd, and always in the Heap memory region) is written to OutAddr.

Uses current process pool partition. The memory allocated counts towards the caller's process Memory ResourceLimit.

[2.0.0+] Size must be less than or equal to 4GB.

Result codes

0x0: Success.

0xCA01: Invalid size passed. It's either bigger than 4GB, or misaligned.

0xD001: Size is bigger than the Heap Region size.

0xCE01: KMemoryBlockAllocator slab allocator exhausted.

0xD401: The memory region is in an invalid state. Likely because a mapping was made in the heap region.

0x10801: Memory resource limit reached.

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-.

Result codes

0x0: Success. The memory region was reprotected.

0xCC01: Unaligned address specified.

0xCA01: Unaligned or zero size specified.

0xD401: The provided memory region does not fall within the userland address space.

0xD801: Invalid permission specified. Valid permissions are ---, r-- and rw-.

0xD401: The provided memory region was in an invalid state. The region must have the PermissionChangeAllowed bit set in its #MemoryState, and must not have the IsBorrowed or IsUncached #MemoryAttribute.

0xCE01: Kernel resource exhausted.

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.

[1.0.0] This could be used to map into either the Alias Region or the Stack region.

[2.0.0+] This can only be used to map into the Stack region.

Code can get the range of the Alias region from #svcGetInfo id0=2,3, and on 2.0.0+ the range of the Stack region via #svcGetInfo id0=14, 15 (on 1.0.0, the Stack region had hardcoded limits).

When mapped into the Alias region, the mapped memory will have state 0x482907.

When mapped into the Stack region, the mapped memory will have state 0x5C3C0B.

svcUnmapMemory

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) W1	PageInfo	PageInfo

Description: Query information about an address. Will always fetch the lowest page-aligned mapping that contains the provided address.

Outputs a #MemoryInfo struct.

svcExitProcess

Argument	Type	Name
(In) None
(Out) None

Description: Exits the current process.

svcCreateThread

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) X1	R1	void()(void)	Entry
(In) X2	R2	void*	ThreadContext
(In) X3	R3	void*	StackTop
(In) W4	R0	u32	Priority
(In) W5	R4	u32	ProcessorId
(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Ret
(Out) W1	R1	Handle<Thread>	Handle

Description: Create a thread in the current process.

Processor_id must be 0,1,2,3 or -2, where -2 uses the default cpuid for process.

svcStartThread

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<Thread>	Handle
(Out) None

Description: Starts the thread for the provided handle.

svcExitThread

Argument	Type	Name
(In) None
(Out) None

Description: Exits the current thread.

svcSleepThread

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) X0	R0, R1	s64	Nanoseconds

Description: Sleep for a specified amount of time, or yield thread.

Setting nanoseconds to 0, -1, or -2 indicates a yielding type.

Value	Type
0	Yielding without core migration
-1	Yielding with core migration
-2	Yielding to any other thread

svcGetThreadPriority

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W1	Handle<Thread>	Handle
(Out) W0	#Result	Ret
(Out) W1	u64	Priority

Description: Get priority of provided thread handle.

svcSetThreadPriority

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<Thread>	Handle
(In) W1	u32	Priority
(Out) W0	#Result	Ret

Description: Set priority of provided thread handle.

Priority is a number 0-0x3F. Lower value means higher priority.

svcGetThreadCoreMask

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name

(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Ret

Description: Set affinity mask of provided thread handle.

svcGetCurrentProcessorNumber

Argument	Type	Name
(In) None
(Out) W0/X0	u64	CpuId

Description: Get which cpu is executing the current thread.

Cpu-id is an integer in the range 0-3.

svcSignalEvent

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<WritableEvent>	Event
(Out) X0	#Result	Result

Description: Puts the given event in the signaled state.

Will wake up any thread currently waiting on this event. Can potentially trigger a reschedule.

Any calls to #svcWaitSynchronization on this handle will return immediately, until the event's signaled state is reset.

Result codes

0x0: Success. Event is now in signaled state.

0xE401: Invalid handle. The handle either does not exist, or is not a WritableEvent.

svcClearEvent

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<WritableEvent or ReadableEvent>	Event
(Out) X0	#Result	Result

Description: Takes the given event out of the signaled state.

Result codes

0x0: Success, the event is now in the not-signaled state.

0xE401: Invalid handle. The handle either does not exist, or is not a ReadableEvent nor a WritableEvent.

0xFA01: The handle was not in a signaled state.

svcMapSharedMemory

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<SharedMemory>	MemHandle
(In) X1	void*	Addr
(In) X2	u64	Size
(In) W3	#Permission	Permissions
(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.

svcResetSignal

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<ReadableEvent> or Handle<Process>	Handle
(Out) W0	#Result	Ret

Resets the signal on the given handle, ensuring future calls to #svcWaitSynchronization on this handle will sleep until the handle is signaled again. If the handle is a ReadableEvent, this is equivalent to calling svcClearEvent() on the handle.

If the handle is a Process, it will clear the signaled state (which is set when the process changes #ProcessState. Once the process enters the Exited state, calling svcResetSignal on the process will no longer have an effect (the process is permanently signaled), and the syscall will return 0xFA01.

Result codes

0x0: Success. The signal was reset.

0xE401: The handle is invalid or of the wrong type.

0xFA01: The handle was not signaled, or the process is in exited state, causing it to be permanently signaled.

svcWaitSynchronization

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) X1	R1	Handle*	HandlesPtr
(In) W2	R2	u64	HandlesNum
(In) X3	R0, R3	u64	Timeout
(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Ret
(Out) W1	R1	u64	HandleIndex

Works with num_handles <= 0x40.

When zero handles are passed, this will wait forever until either timeout or cancellation occurs.

Does not accept 0xFFFF8001 or 0xFFFF8000 as handles.

Object types

KDebug: signals when there is a new DebugEvent (retrievable via #svcGetDebugEvent).

KClientPort: signals when the number of sessions is less than the maximum allowed.

KProcess: signals when the process undergoes a state change (retrievable via #svcGetProcessInfo).

KReadableEvent: signals when the event's corresponding KWritableEvent has been signaled via svcSignalEvent.

KServerPort: signals when there is an incoming connection waiting to be accepted.

KServerSession: signals when there is an incoming message waiting to be received or the pipe is closed.

KThread: signals when the thread has exited.

Result codes

0x0: Success. One of the objects was signaled before the timeout expired, or one of the objects is a Session with a closed remote. Handle index is updated to indicate which object signaled.

0x7601: Thread termination requested. Handle index is not updated.

0xe401: Invalid handle. Returned when one of the handles passed is invalid. Handle index is not updated.

0xe601: Invalid address. Returned when the handles pointer is not a readable address. Handle index is not updated.

0xea01: Timeout. Returned when no objects have been signaled within the timeout. Handle index is not updated.

0xec01: Interrupted. Returned when another thread uses #svcCancelSynchronization to cancel this thread. Handle index is not updated.

0xee01: Too many handles. Returned when the number of handles passed is > 0x40.

svcCancelSynchronization

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W0	Handle<Thread>	Handle
(Out) W0	#Result	Ret

If the referenced thread is currently in a synchronization call (#svcWaitSynchronization, #svcReplyAndReceive or #svcReplyAndReceiveLight), that call will be interrupted and return 0xec01. If that thread is not currently executing such a synchronization call, the next call to a synchronization call will return 0xec01.

This doesn't take force-pause (activity/debug pause) into account.

Result codes

0x0: Success. The thread was either interrupted or has had its flag set.

0xe401: Invalid handle. The handle given was either invalid or not a thread handle.

svcGetSystemTick

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(Out) X0	R0, R1	u64	Ticks

Returns the value of cntpct_el0.

The frequency is 19200000 Hz (constant from official sw).

Official sw reads cntpct_el0 directly from usermode without using this SVC. sdk-nso has this SVC, but it's not known to be called anywhere.

svcSendSyncRequestWithUserBuffer

Argument	Type	Name
(In) X0	void*	CmdPtr
(In) X1	u64	Size
(In) W2	Handle<Session>	Handle
(Out) W0	#Result	Ret

Size and CmdPtr must be 0x1000-aligned.

Result codes

0x0: Success.

0xcc01: CmdPtr is not 0x1000-aligned.

0xca01: Size is not 0x1000-aligned.

0xce01: KSessionRequest allocation failed (unlikely) or pointer buffer size exceeded.

0xe401: Handles does not exist, or handle is not an instance of KClientSession.

svcBreak

Argument	Type	Name
(In) X0	u64	Break Reason
(In) X1	u64
(In) X2	u64	Info
(Out) W0	Result	0 (Success)

If the process is attached, report the Break event. Then, if svcContinueDebugEvent didn't apply IgnoreException on the thread: if TPIDR_EL0 is 0, adjust ELR_EL1 to retry to svc instruction (and set TPIDR_EL0 to 1).

Otherwise, if bit31 in reason isn't set, perform crash reporting (see Exception Handling section below), if it doesn't terminate the process adjust ELR_EL1 as well.

Otherwise just return 0.

svcGetInfo

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W1	u32	InfoId
(In) W2	Handle	Handle

svcMapPhysicalMemory

This is like svcSetHeapSize except you can allocate heap at any address you'd like.

Uses current process pool partition.

svcDumpInfo

Argument	Type	Name
(In) None
(Out) None

Does nothing, just returns with registers set to all-zero.

svcAcceptSession

Argument	Type	Name
(In) W1	Handle<Port>	Port
(Out) W0	#Result	Result
(Out) W1	Handle<ServerSession>	Session

Result codes

0xf201: No session waiting to be accepted

svcReplyAndReceive

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) W1	R1	*Handle<Port or ServerSession>	Handles
(In) W2	R2	u32	NumHandles
(In) W3	R3	Handle<ServerSession>	ReplyTarget
(In) X4	R0, R4	u64 (nanoseconds)	Timeout
(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Result
(Out) W1	R1	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.

If ReplyTarget is zero, the TLS should contain a blank message. If this message has a C descriptor, the buffer it points to will be used as the pointer buffer. See IPC_Marshalling#IPC_buffers. Note that a pointer buffer cannot be specified if ReplyTarget is not zero.

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.

svcMapPhysicalMemoryUnsafe

Same as #svcMapPhysicalMemory except it always uses pool partition 0.

svcCreateCodeMemory

Takes an address range with backing memory to create the code memory object.

The memory is initially memset to 0xFF after being locked.

svcControlCodeMemory

Maps the backing memory for a Code memory object into the current process.

For CodeMemoryOperation_MapOwner, memory permission must be RW-.

For CodeMemoryOperation_MapSlave, memory permission must be R-- or R-X.

Operations CodeMemoryOperation_UnmapOwner/CodeMemoryOperation_UnmapSlave unmap memory that was previously mapped this way.

This allows one "secure JIT" process to map the code memory as RW-, and the other "slave" process to map it R-X.

[5.0.0+] Error 0xE401 is now returned when the process owner of the Code memory object is the same as the current process.

svcReadWriteRegister

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) X1	R2, R3	u64	RegAddr
(In) W2	R0	u64	RwMask
(In) W3	R1	u64	InValue
(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Ret
(Out) W1	R1	u64	OutValue

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:

(Out) X0	R0	SMC Result	Result of SMC
(Out) X1-X7	R1-R3	u64	SMC sub-output

Takes in a SMC function ID in X0, and arguments for that SMC function in X1-X7.

Passing an invalid SMC function ID or calling from a core other than core 3 will result in a secure monitor panic.

The kernel parses bits 9-15 in the passed SMC function ID (per the ARM SMC calling convention), and when set uses as an indicator to translate a pointer in the associated register (X1-X7) to a physical address. The kernel will translate any address mapped as R-W, other addresses (R--, R-X, or invalid pointers) will be translated as 0/NULL.

Output is returned raw from the Secure Monitor; X0 will be the untranslated SMC result and X1-X7 will contain other SMC output (or be unchanged, depending on the SMC).

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.

svcSetHardwareBreakPoint

Argument64	Argument32	Type	Name
(In) W0	R0	u32	hardware_breakpoint_id
(In) X1	R2, R3	u64	flags
(In) X2	R1, R4	u64	value
(Out) W0	R0	#Result	Ret

Sets one of the AArch64 hardware breakpoints. The nintendo switch has 6 hardware breakpoints, and 4 hardware watchpoints. The syscall has two behaviors depending on the value of hardware_breakpoint_id:

If hardware_breakpoint_id < 0x10, then it sets one of the AArch64 hardware breakpoints. Flags will go to DBGBCRn_EL1, and value to DBGBVRn_EL1. The only flags the user is allowed to set are those in the bitmask 0x7F01E1. Furthermore, the kernel will or it with 0x4004, in order to set various security flags to guarantee the watchpoints only triggers for code in EL0. If the user asks for a Breakpoint Type of ContextIDR match, the kernel shall use the given debug_handle to set DBGBVRn_EL1 to the ContextID of the debugged process.

If hardware_breakpoint_id is between 0x10 and 0x20 (exclusive), then it sets one of the AArch64 hardware watchpoints. Flags will go to DBGWCRn_EL1, and the value to DBGWVRn_EL1. The only flags the user is allowed to set are those in the bitmask 0xFF0F1FF9. Furthermore, the kernel will or it with 0x104004. This will set various security flags, and set the watchpoint type to be a Linked Watchpoint. This means that you need to link it to a Linked ContextIDR breakpoint. Check the ARM documentation for more information.

Note that hardware_breakpoint_id 0 to 4 match only to Virtual Address, while hardware_breakpoint_id 5 and 6 match against either Virtual Address, ContextID, or VMID. As such, if you are configuring a breakpoint to link for a watchpoint, make sure you use hardware_breakpoint_id 5 or 6.

For more documentation for hardware breakpoints, check out the AArch64 documentation for the DBGBCRn_EL1 register and the DBGWCRn_EL1 register

Exception handling

First of all, a function that might be called by synchronous exception handler and that is called by the SError handler fetches the exception info, adjusts PC, panics on exceptions taken from EL1, then dispatches the exception.

The dispatcher has two mutually exclusive exception reporting methods:

by storing information at the start of the process's TLS memregion (TPIDRRO_EL0) and jumping back to the crt0
by using KDebug

KDebug dispatching is used when at least one of the following conditions are met:

SMC ConfigItem KernelMemConfig bit 1 is NOT set (it isn't on retail), unless: this is a software or hardware breakpoint, or a watchpoint, or [4.0.0+?] the process is attached and this is a Google PNaCl trap instruction (see LLVM source)
FAR doesn't point to a valid address in mapped-readable CodeStatic memory (i.e. this is the case for NRO and JIT memory) or this is one of the following exceptions (it particular, that doesn't include FP exceptions occurring in CodeStatic memory):
- Uncategorized
- IllegalState
- SupervisorCallA32
- SupervisorCallA64
- PCAlignment
- SPAlignment
- SError
- BreakpointLowerEl
- SoftwareStepLowerEl (note: no way set single-step flag; not parsed)
- WatchpointLowerEl
- SoftwareBreakpointA32 (note: not parsed)
- SoftwareBreakpointA64 (note: not parsed)

In all other cases the userland-handled exception path is taken.

KDebug path:

If the process is attached, the exception is reported to the KDebug. If the thread was continued using flag IgnoreExceptions, it returns from the exception as if nothing happened.

If the latter is not the case, or if the process isn't attached, proceed to [2.0.0+] crash reporting (or in [1.0.0] just terminate the process): if EnableDebug is set, and depending on the process state (more than one crash per process isn't permitted) it may signal itself with ProcessState_Crashed so that PM asks NS to start creport so that creport attaches to it and reports the crashes. Otherwise, just terminate.

Userland reporting path and svcReturnFromException:

0x38	0x4	afsr1
0x3C	0x4	esr
0x40	0x4	far

In that case, after storing the regs in the TLS, the exception handler returns to the application's crt0 (entrypoint), with X0=<error description code> (see below) and X1=SP=frame=<stack top> (see above)

Desc. code	Meaning
0x100	Instruction abort
0x102	Misaligned PC
0x103	Misaligned SP
0x106	SError [not in 1.0.0?]
0x301	Bad SVC
0x104	Uncategorized, CP15RTTrap, CP15RRTTrap, CP14RTTrap, CP14RRTTrap, IllegalState, SystemRegisterTrap
0x101	None of the above, EC <= 0x34 and not a breakpoint

(During normal app boot the process is invoked with X0=0 and X1=main_thread_handle. The crt0 of retail apps determines whether to boot normally or handle an exception if X0 is set to 0 or not)

The application is supposed to promptly update the contents of elr_el1 to a user handler (and any other regs it sees fit) and call svcReturnFromException (error code) to call that handler. The latter is then expected to promptly abort the program.

svcReturnFromException updates the contents of the kernel stack frame with what the user provided in the TLS structure, sets TPIDR_EL0 to 1, then:

if the provided error code is 0, gracefully pivots and returns from exception
if it is not, replays the exception and pass it to the KDebug (see above). One can pass 0x10001 to prevent process termination. If the process is attached, this also prevents crash-collection/termination (different from the exception handler behavior)

If an exception occurs from the above user handler, the entire exception handling process will repeat with the new exception.

Note that if a thread that wasn't faulting calls svcReturnFromException, it signals an "invalid syscall" exception

Note that IsDebugMode is not used during exception-handling, except for enabling printing a message to UART-A. This UART code causes a system-hang on retail (likely due to a loop that doesn't exit). This printing doesn't seem to run when the process is attached for debugging?
