SVC

System calls

Note: The argument-lists here apply to the official syscall wrapper-functions that are found in userland processes. The actual ordering passed to the kernel via the SVC instruction is documented in Kernel ABI.

Types and structures

enum ResetType

Reset type	Id
ONESHOT	0
STICKY	1
PULSE	2

Timers/Events may be waited on by a thread using svcWaitSynchronization. Once the timer runs out/the event gets signaled, threads waiting on the respective handles until the timer/event is reset. STICKY timers/events wake up threads until they are explicitly reset by some thread. ONESHOT timers/events will wake up exactly one thread and then are reset automatically. PULSE timers will be reset after waking up one thread too, but will also be started again immediately. It's unknown whether PULSE is a valid reset type for events.

typedef Handle

User-visible references to internal objects are represented by 32-bit integers called handles. Handles are only valid in the process they have been created in; hence, they cannot be exchanged between processes directly (the IPC functions provide a mean to copy handles to other processes, though).

There are a number of special-purpose handles, which provide easy access to information on objects in the current process:

Handle	Description
0xFFFF8000	Handle to the active thread
0xFFFF8001	Handle to the active process

svcSetHardwareBreakPoint

This is essentially an interface for writing values to the debug-unit (B/W)RP registers. registerId range 0..5 = breakpoints(BRP0-5), 0x100..0x101 = watchpoints(WRP0-1), anything outside of these ranges will result in an error. This is used for both adding and removing/disabling breakpoints/watchpoints, hence the raw control value parameter.

Here the kernel sets bit15 in the DSCR, to enable monitor-mode debugging.

Regardless of whether this is for a BRP, when bit21 is set in the control input parameter(BRP type = contextID), the kernel will load the target process contextID and use that internally for the value field. The target process is specified via a KDebug handle passed as the "value" parameter.

Lastly, the kernel disables the specified (B/W)RP, then writes the value parameter / loaded contextID to the (B/W)VR, then writes the input control value to the (B/W)CR.

DMA

The CTRSDK code for using svcStartInterProcessDma will execute svcBreak when svcStartInterProcessDma returns an error(except for certain error value(s)). Therefore on retail, triggering a svcStartInterProcessDma via a system-module which results in an error from svcStartInterProcessDma will result in the system-module terminating.

Interrupt Handling

svcBindInterrupt registers the given event or semaphore corresponding to the handle to the global "interrupt table" for the given interrupt ID. Interrupts 0-14 and 16-31 can never be mapped regardless of the interrupt flags of the process's exheader, and the latter are not checked when mapping interrupt 15. The "is level high active"/"is manual clear" parameter must be false when binding a semaphore handle (otherwise 0xD8E007EE "invalid combination" is returned).

If something was already registered for the given ID, svcBindInterrupt returns error 0xD8E007F0. See KBaseInterruptEvent for more information on what happens on receipt of an interrupt.

Applications hence can wait for specific interrupts to happen by calling WaitSynchronization(N) on the event or semaphore handles.

The set of existing ARM11 interrupts is listed on this page.

Debugging

DebugActiveProcess is used to attach to a process for debugging. This SVC can only be used when the target process' ARM11 descriptors stored in the exheader have the kernel flag for "Enable debug" set. Otherwise when that flag is clear, the kernel flags for the process using this SVC must have the "Force debug" flag set.

This SVC can only be used when a certain kernel state debug flag is non-zero(it's set to zero for retail).

KernelSetState

KernelSetState uses the 6th software-generated interrupt for any operation involving synchronization between cores.

Type	Enabled for the NATIVE_FIRM ARM11 kernel	Enabled for the TWL_FIRM ARM11 kernel	Description
0	Yes	No	Arguments : u64 firmTitleID (O3DS) or u64 firmTitleID, u32 unknown (N3DS, pm-module uses value 0 with this) This initializes the programID for launching FIRM, then triggers launching FIRM. With New3DS kernel, it forces the programIDlow to be the New3DS NATIVE_FIRM, when the input programIDlow is for the Old3DS NATIVE_FIRM and Param2==0. On New3DS, the kernel disables the additional New3DS cache hw prior to calling the firmlaunch function from the <handler for the KernelSetState-types called via funcptr>.
1	Yes	Yes	Does nothing.
2	Yes	Yes	Powers down the GPU and syncs with Process9 (waits for *(vu8 *)PXI_SYNC11 to be 1) during the process. On New3DS, the kernel disables the additional New3DS cache hw, when it's actually enabled, prior to executing the rest of the code from the <handler for the KernelSetState-types called via funcptr>.
3	Yes	No	Arguments: 0, void* address or 1 This used for initializing the 0x1000-byte buffer used by the launched FIRM. When the first parameter is 1, this buffer is copied to the beginning of FCRAM at 0xE0000000. When it is 0, this kernel buffer is mapped to the process address specified by the second argument.
4	No	Yes	This unmaps(?) the following virtual memory by writing value physaddr (where physaddr base is 0x80000000) to the L1 MMU table entries: 0x00300000..0x04300000, 0x08000000..0x0FE00000, and 0x10000000..0xF8000000.
5	Yes	Yes	Used by kernelpanic. This makes core0 enter a WFI/B infinite loop. Threads that were created on core1 or core2 have their priority set to 0x3F, except if the thread was created on core1 and whose parent process (if any) has the "Runnable on sleep" ARM11 kernel flag set. Core1 threads with a priority of 0x40 without a parent process have their priority set to 0x3E. Prior to first invoking this handler, if and only if both UNITINFO and 0x1FF80015 are not 0, and if there is no LCD fill set at the time kernelpanic is called, kernelpanic fill the top screen with white (it does the same for the bottom screen if the current process is running under the APPLICATION memregion). Before invoking this handler a second time, kernelpanic wait for the user to hold L+R+Start+Select down.
6	Yes	No	Arguments: u64 unk What this does depends of the value of the field that was stored in 0x1FF80015. If this is 0 (Prod) or any invalid value, nothing is done. If it is 1 (Dev), unk != 0 is written to some global variable; if this variable has bit0 clear, the regdump will be written when an exception occurs in a privileged mode (the destination depends on fields in the local storage of the current thread at the time of the exception). If 2 (Debugger), it's written to the following byte. If 3 (Firm), this calls a scheduler-related function with (u32)unk which performs a context switch, and that value to a global variable if its contents are not equal to the arg, under certain conditions (returns error 0xC8A01414 otherwise).
7	Yes	No	This triggers an MCU (hard) reboot. This reboot is triggered via device address 0x4A on the second I2C bus (the MCU). Register address 0x20 is written to with value 4. This code will not return. On New3DS, the kernel disables the additional New3DS cache hw prior to calling the reboot function from the <handler for the KernelSetState-types called via funcptr>.
8	Yes	No	Alternate FIRM launch code-path, with different PXI FIFO word constants. Usually not used. PTM-sysmodule can use this but it's unknown what exactly triggers that in PTM-sysmodule.
9	Yes, implemented at some point after system-version v4.5.	?	Argumens: u64 unk. Writes unk to some global variable, but the latter doesn't seem to be used anywhere else.
10	Yes	?	Arguments: u32 config ConfigureNew3DSCPU. Only available for the New_3DS kernel. The actual code for processing this runs under the <handler for the KernelSetState-types called via funcptr>, which runs on all ARM11 cores. Only bit0-1 of the argument are used here. Bit 0 enables higher core clock, and bit 1 enables additional (L2) cache. This configures the hardware register for the flags listed here, among other code which uses the MPCore private memory region registers.

GetSystemInfo

SystemInfoType value	s32 param	Description
0	0	This writes the total used memory size in the following memory regions to out: APPLICATION, SYSTEM, and BASE.
0	1	This writes the total used memory size in the APPLICATION memory region to out.
0	2	This writes the total used memory size in the SYSTEM memory region to out.
0	3	This writes the total used memory size in the BASE memory region to out.
2	Unused	This writes the FCRAM memory used by the kernel to out.
25	Unused	This writes the total number of threads which were directly launched by the kernel, to out. No longer exists with some kernel version?
26	Unused	This writes the total number of processes which were directly launched by the kernel, to out. For the NATIVE_FIRM/SAFE_MODE_FIRM ARM11 kernel, this is normally 5, for processes sm, fs, pm, loader, and pxi.

GetProcessInfo

Input:

R0 = unused
R1 = Handle process
R2 = ProcessInfoType type

Output:

R0 = Result
R1 = output value lower word
R2 = output value upper word

ProcessInfoType value	Available since system version	Description
9-19	8.0.0-18	This only returns error 0xD8E007ED.
20	8.0.0-18	low u32 = (0x20000000 - <LINEAR virtual-memory base for this process>). That is, the output value is the value which can be added to LINEAR memory vaddrs for converting to physical-memory addrs.
21-23	8.0.0-18	This only returns error 0xE0E01BF4.

GetHandleInfo

HandleInfoType value	Description
0	This returns the time in ticks the KProcess referenced by the handle was created. If a KProcess handle was not given, it will write whatever was in r5, r6 when the svc was called.
1	Get internal refcount-1 for kernel object (u32), and also a boolean if the refcount-1 is negative (u32).
0x32107	Returns (u64) 0.

svc7B Backdoor

This saves SVC-mode SP+LR on the user-mode stack, then sets the SVC-mode SP to the user-mode SP. This then calls the specified code in SVC-mode. Once the called code returns, this pops the saved SP+LR off the stack for restoring the SVC-mode SP, then returns from the svc7b handler. Note that this svc7b handler does not disable IRQs, if any IRQs/context-switches occur while the SVC-mode SP is set to the user-mode one here, the ARM11-kernel will crash(which hangs the whole ARM11-side system).
