PSXS5, SwanStationPS5 and Nuvio stop at start-up on setcontext on main,
and EVO Player and ProsperoStore do on Windows. The three are imported
by the statically linked OpenSSL's ASYNC code.
The three use FreeBSD 11's amd64 ucontext_t (mcontext at 0x10, mc_len
800, uc_link at 0x330, 0x370 bytes), which the titles are built
against: EVO Player's ASYNC_is_capable captures into a 0x370-byte stack
buffer, and async_fibre_makecontext sets uc_link at 0x330 and uc_stack
at 0x338. getcontext saves every register at its call in assembly and
stores the context as FreeBSD's sys_getcontext does: rax and rdx as 0,
the carry flag clear, the FXSAVE image and the signal mask, and nothing
from uc_link on. setcontext checks mc_len and mc_flags as set_mcontext
does, installs the signal mask, masks MXCSR with the host's MXCSR_MASK
and returns through iretq, so every general register and the flags are
restored and nothing is written below the target stack pointer.
makecontext follows FreeBSD 11's amd64 libc.
Windows checks guard-page growth and exception unwinding against the
stack bounds in the TEB. setcontext and longjmp now set them to the
stack they switch to, which makecontext registers and pins writable as
libSceFiber does for fiber stacks. OpenSSL enters a context with
setcontext and then switches with _setjmp and _longjmp.
- libc: reserve guest memory in one arena below the PS5 map limit with
MEM_WRITE_WATCH (GuestArena) and a caching guest heap; the allocation
registry gains a generation counter, an invalidator callback for the
driver's page cache and a pin waiter for leased ranges. This replaces
the fault-based GuestMemoryTracking/GuestMemoryBacking layer, whose
files are removed.
- libkernel: mmap/mprotect/munmap on the arena, flexible memory budget,
real sceKernelVirtualQuery; POSIX pthread layer, rwlocks, timed locks,
TSD, event flags; 0.5 ms scheduler tick and high-resolution sleeps;
TSC/clock/time functions; file APIs return SCE errno codes; the APR
file-streaming API.
- libc: vectored crash reporter with backtraces for fatal exceptions,
SIGABRT, UCRT invalid parameters and process exit; SSE4a EXTRQ/INSERTQ
emulation for Intel hosts; %ls/%lc/%S/%C with the guest's 16-bit
wchar_t; hand-written setjmp/longjmp for the guest jmp_buf; a path
alias table for short save-data mount points; more string, stdio and
math exports.
