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. | |

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). | |
− | |||

− | + | =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 [[KProcess|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 [[ARM11_Interrupts#Interrupt_Table_.28New3DS.29|"interrupt table"]] for the given interrupt ID. Interrupts 0-14 and 16-31 can never be mapped regardless of the [[NCCH/Extended_Header#ARM11_Kernel_Capabilities|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. | |

Types and structures[edit]
enum ResetType[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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 (the high 32-bits of that title ID (0 when using N3DS pm) have a special meaning on N3DS, they're otherwise ignored, see below).
This initializes the programID for launching FIRM, then triggers launching FIRM. With New3DS kernel, it forces the firm title ID to be the New3DS NATIVE_FIRM, when the input firm title ID is 2. The high firm title ID is always set to 0x40138. 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 | Power state change. Takes one u32 parameter.
0: shutdown/reboot. hangs the Arm11. Used by kernelpanic and PTM. This makes all cores enter a WFI/B infinite loop. |
6 | Yes | No | Arguments: u32 what, u64 val
UNITINFO needs to be non-zero for If If it is 1, If 2, kernelpanic will be called when svcBreak is used by a non-attached process. Configured by NS on startup on dev-units (default being 0 on non-debugger/jtag units) using the 0x000F0000 configuration block in the config savegame. If 3, this changes the scheduling/preemption mode (when no threads are being preempted, otherwise returns error 0xC8A01414), see KResourceLimit for more details. |
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 | Hangs the Arm9, using a code path similar to the one used on firmlaunch. Used by PTM on shutdown/reboot. |
9 | Yes, implemented at some point after system-version v4.5. | ? | Argumens: u64 titleID .
When creating a process, if the process has a non-zero TID equal to the parameter above (which is stored in a global variable), then KProcessHwInfo+0x32 ("process is the currently running app") is set to |
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[edit]

5 | Returns the highest count of handles that have been open at once by the process | |
6 | Returns *(u32*)(KProcess+0x234) which is always 0
| |
7 | Returns the number of threads of the process | |
8 | Returns the maximum number of threads which can be opened by this process (always 0) | |
9-18 | 8.0.0-18 | This only returns error 0xD8E007ED. |
19 | Stub: 8.0.0-18. Implementation: 11.3.0-X. | Originally this only returned 0xD8E007ED. Now with v11.3 this returns the memregion for the process: out low u32 = KProcess "Kernel flags from the exheader kernel descriptors" & 0xF00 (memory region flag). High out u32 = 0. |
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 | 8.0.0-18. N3DS only. | Returns the VA -> PA conversion offset for the QTM static mem block reserved in the exheader (0x800000), otherwise 0 (+ error 0xE0E01BF4) if it doesn't exist |
22 | 8.0.0-18. N3DS only. | Returns the base VA of the QTM static mem block reserved in the exheader, otherwise 0 (+ error 0xE0E01BF4) if it doesn't exist |
23 | 8.0.0-18. N3DS only. | Returns the size of the QTM static mem block reserved in the exheader, otherwise 0 (+ error 0xE0E01BF4) if it doesn't exist |
GetHandleInfo[edit]
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 for kernel object (not counting the one this SVC adds internally to operate), sign-extended to 64 bits. |
2 | Unimplemented, returns an uninitialized u64 variable (corresponding to r5-r6, which were not altered outside of userland). |
0x32107 | Returns (u64) 0. |
svc7B Backdoor[edit]
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).
svc 0x59[edit]
Implemented with 11.3.0-X. Used with GSP module starting with that version. This always returns 0.
When input_flag is not 0x1, it will use value 0x0 internally. When a state field already matches input_flag, this will immediately return. Otherwise, after this SVC finishes running, it will write input_flag to this state field. GSP module uses 0x0 for APPLICATION-memregionid and 0x1 for non-APPLICATION-memregionid.
This writes "0x100 | <val>" to pdnregbase+0x140, where val depends on input_flag and a kernel state field for APPMEMTYPE.
When input_flag is 0x1 val is fixed:
- Old3DS: 0x3
- New3DS: 0x460
Otherwise, val depends on the kernel APPMEMTYPE state field:
FIRM | APPMEMTYPE | val |
---|---|---|
Old3DS | 2 | 0x3 |
Old3DS | 3 | 0x5 |
Old3DS | 4 | 0x6 |
Old3DS | Non-value-{2/3/4} | 0x7 |
New3DS | 7 | 0x490 |
New3DS | Non-value-7 | 0x4F0 |
This same register is also initialized during kernel boot starting with 3.0.0-5, with the following values:
- Old3DS: 0x103
- New3DS: 0x550
svc 0x5A
Like what NWM did previously, this one does the following:
if (in_flag) CFG11_WIFICNT |= 1; else CFG11_WIFICNT &= ~1;
Kernel error-codes[edit]
See Error codes.
Error-code value | Description |
---|---|
0x09401BFE | Timeout occurred with svcWaitSynchronization*, when timeout is not ~0. |
0xC8601801 | No more unused/free synchronization objects left to use in a given object's linked list. (KEvent, KMutex, KTimer, KSemaphore, KAddressArbiter, KThread) |
0xC8601802 | No more unused/free KSharedMemory objects left to use in the KSharedMemory linked list - out of blocks |
0xC8601809 | No more unused/free KSessions left to use in the KSession linked list - out of sessions |
0xC860180A | Not enough free memory available for memory allocation. |
0xC920181A | The session was closed by the other process.. |
0xD0401834 | Max connections to port have been exceeded |
0xD8609013 | Unknown, probably reslimit related? |
0xD88007FA | Returned if no KObjectName object in the linked list of such objects matches the port name provided to the svc. |
0xD8E007ED | This indicates that a value is outside of the enum being used. |
0xD8E007F1 | This error indicates Misaligned address. |
0xD8E007F7 | This error indicates that the input handle used with the SVC does not exist in the process handle-table, or that the handle kernel object type does not match the type used by the SVC. |
0xD9000402 | Invalid memory permissions for input/output buffers, for svcStartInterProcessDma. |
0xD9001814 | Failed unprivileged load or store - wrong permissions on memory |
0xD9001BF7 | This error is returned when the kernel retrieves a pointer to a kernel object, but the object type doesn't match the desired one. |
0xD92007EA | This error is returned when a process attempts to use svcCreateMemoryBlock when the process memorytype is the application memorytype, and when addr=0. |
0xE0E01BF5 | This indicates an invalid address was used. |
0xF8C007F4 | Invalid type/param0-param3 input for svcKernelSetState. This is also returned for those syscalls marked as stubs. |
