On Linux a guest stderr redirect also moves the host's: guest
descriptors are host descriptors, and the guest stderr stream wraps the
host stderr FILE. After dup2(fd, 2), or freopen(path, mode, stderr) with
full buffering, the libc terminate report, the host fprintf(stderr)
diagnostics and libstdc++'s terminate message go into the title's pipe
or file, and abort() discards what is still buffered. RetroArch
(PPSA99169) reopens stderr onto app0/trace.txt with full buffering, so
its stop on main left no message anywhere.
Before the first guest redirect of descriptor 2 (libkernel dup2, libc
freopen of a stream on descriptor 2), keep a close-on-exec duplicate of
the host descriptor 2 and point the host stderr at an unbuffered stream
on it. The guest stream keeps its own FILE and follows the redirect.
The libc terminate report writes to the kept descriptor with write()
instead of the stderr stream, and libkernel's sceKernelDebugOutText uses
the same kept descriptor.
fopen opened its stream with _wfopen, which shares read and write
access but not delete access. While the guest held a stream open,
rename of its file failed with EIO and remove with EBUSY. POSIX rename
and remove work on open files, as on Linux and FreeBSD, and since
#3677 the descriptors sceKernelOpen returns share delete access.
fopen now creates the handle with CreateFileW sharing read, write and
delete, with the access and creation disposition of the mode, and
wraps it with _open_osfhandle and _wfdopen, keeping append mode. A
failed CreateFileW sets errno through the error mapping #3677 added to
libkernel's NativeOpen, which moves to libc as
WindowsOpenError_nid_no_patch so that both use it. freopen still
reopens through _wfreopen; TechnicalDebt records it.
FreeBSD fchdir(2) changes the working directory to the directory referenced by a descriptor. The guest imports fchdir from libkernel_sys (PPSA99764, issue #1578) and the module did not export it.
The descriptor's directory is resolved from the path recorded when the directory was opened on Windows, and from the /proc/self/fd link target on Linux. The guest working directory is then set through the libc routine shared with chdir. A descriptor that is not open returns EBADF and one that is not a directory returns ENOTDIR.

C17 has no binary prefix: with base 0 or 2, strtol("0b101", &end, base)
reads the subject "0", returns 0 and leaves end at the 'b'. With glibc
2.38 or later, g++ (which defines _GNU_SOURCE) binds std::strtoll,
strtoull, strtoul, strtoimax and strtoumax to the C23 __isoc23_*
functions, which accept 0b/0B: the Linux exports returned 5 and
consumed the whole string. The Windows UCRT already follows C17, so the
same guest call gave different results on the two hosts.
strtol, strtoul, strtoll, strtoull, _Stoull, strtoimax, strtoumax and
_Stoul now return 0 with the end pointer after the '0' when, after
white space and an optional sign, the text starts with 0b or 0B and a
binary digit, in base 0 or 2. Everything else still goes to the host
function. The scanf family's %i has the same glibc behaviour; it is
recorded in TechnicalDebt.

Preserve files across unmount, block new lookups until remount, and validate mount-dependent operations. Keep prior-run storage inaccessible after initialization.
Written with AI assistance.
Opening a volume needs administrator rights, so the volume flush skipped
every volume in a normal user session. The libc, libkernel, save data and
app content file functions now record each host file and directory they
change. On Windows sceKernelSync flushes the recorded paths that changed
since the previous call, plus their changed parent directories, through
handles a normal user can open. Linux still calls sync().
sceSaveDataSetParam dropped the params, and sceSaveDataGetParam and
sceSaveDataDirNameSearch returned zeros, so a title that checks the params of
the save it found took its profile for a new one and rewrote it with defaults
on every boot. The params now live in a <directory>.param sidecar next to the
save directory, written by SetParam (mtime refreshed) and returned by GetParam
and by the directory search, with the directory's write time when no param
was stored yet.
The mount point is /savedata<N>, as on the console: a title read its profile
through /host//_sm/0/Profile when the mount point had another shape, and that
path does not exist.
The module logs the first three calls of each entry point, like the core
module; APS5_SAVEDATA_TRACE lifts the limit.

- 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.
