| + | * [[Flog]] was stubbed: official code for launching it was removed from [[qlaunch|the home menu]], and *all* code was overwritten with garbage. Thus, even attempts to launch it manually will result in [[Loader services|loader]] returning error 0xA09. |
| + | |
| + | ==Kernel== |
| + | * Kernel startup code was updated: |
| + | ** A new (unused?) function was added, this is roughly the same as the code which originally directly read a MC register (0x70019050) for [[Memory_layout|getting]] the DRAM size, except [[SMC]] ReadWriteRegister is used for the read instead. |
| + | ** The code which originally read the above register directly was replaced with an inlined version of the above function. |
| + | |
| + | * All RTTI symbols were removed, can no longer know official name of kernel objects. :( |
| + | * JIT syscalls were added. |
| + | ** New MemoryType bit for "JIT allowed". |
| + | ** New MemoryTypes for JitWritable and JitReadOnly. |
| + | * New synchronization syscalls 0x34, 0x35 added: These ones allow implementation of synchronization primitives without a mutex+condvar pair. This is more efficient because when a thread wakes up from a condvar, the mutex is held and needs to perform a syscall to unlock it. If you have N threads blocking on a condvar, you need N-1 syscalls to wake all the threads. With the new syscalls, you can wake up all N with a single syscall. |
| + | |
| + | * Added new syscall svcDumpInfoNew, but it's stubbed. |
| + | * The linked-list node for KAutoObjects was added to the struct itself instead of being a separate allocation. |
| + | * svcGetInfo now exposes the first and last process id for built-in modules. |
| + | ** This is used by some services to make sure we can't connect to them from outside a privileged module. |
| + | * svcReadWriteRegister was updated, now always goes through TZ for both PMC and MC. Whitelist for MC remains the same. |
| + | * Support was added for loading non-KIP processes into the Secure pool via a flag in SvcCreateProcess. |
| + | ** This is used by only for es, to prevent attackers from using GPU DMA to take over the es sysmodule to pirate games. |
| + | ** Correspondingly, the KHeapArrange calculation of the secure pool size now has an extra 0x13A000 factored in (to ensure there is enough space for es). |
