Threads will now be awakened when the objects they're waiting on are signaled, instead of repeating the WaitSynchronization call every now and then.
The scheduler is now called once after every SVC call, and once after a thread is awakened from sleep by its timeout callback.
This new implementation is based off reverse-engineering of the real kernel.
See https://gist.github.com/Subv/02f29bd9f1e5deb7aceea1e8f019c8f4 for a more detailed description of how the real kernel handles rescheduling.
Applications can request the kernel to allocate a piece of the linear heap for them when creating a shared memory object.
Shared memory areas are now properly mapped into the target processes when calling svcMapMemoryBlock.
Removed the APT Shared Font hack as it is no longer needed.
Cubic Ninja waited for the frame to end by spinning on a loop calling
GetSystemTick while doing nothing else. Since GetSystemTick doesn't
cause a reschedule (which advances time), this meant that very little
emulated time would pass inside that loop, causing the game to spend
most of the frame burning away CPU.
This adds some structures necessary to support multiple memory regions
in the future. It also adds support for different system memory types
and the new linear heap mapping at 0x30000000.
Implemented svcs GetResourceLimit, GetResourceLimitCurrentValues and GetResourceLimitLimitValues.
Note that the resource limits do not currently keep track of used objects, since we have no way to distinguish between an object created by the application, and an object created by some HLE module once we're inside Kernel::T::Create.
memory.cpp/h contains definitions related to acessing memory and
configuring the address space
mem_map.cpp/h contains higher-level definitions related to configuring
the address space accoording to the kernel and allocating memory.
Involves making asserts use printf instead of the log functions (log functions are asynchronous and, as such, the log won't be printed in time)
As such, the log type argument was removed (printf obviously can't use it, and it's made obsolete by the file and line printing)
Also removed some GEKKO cruft.
