This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.

Common shouldn't be depending on APIs in Core (in this, case depending
on the PowerPC namespace). Because of the poor separation here, this
moves OSThread functionality into core, so that it resolves the implicit
dependency on core.
At its only usage point, its return value is stored into a u32, and the
default implementation returns 0xFFFFFFFF (-1), which would be an
unsigned integer. Given all of the bits are used to determine a color,
it makes slightly more sense to treat this as an unsigned value as
opposed to a signed one.
Previously u32 was being used for part of the interface and unsigned int
was being used for other parts. This makes the interface fully consistent by
using only one type.
We opt for u32 here given they communicate the same thing (for platforms
we care about where int is 32-bit), while also being less to read.
While we're at it, we can also default the constructor and destructor of
inheriting classes in their respective cpp file to prevent the
construction and destruction of non-trivial types being inlined into
other regions of code.
PowerPC.h at this point is pretty much a general glob of stuff, and it's
unfortunate, since it means pulling in a lot of unrelated header
dependencies and a bunch of other things that don't need to be seen by
things that just want to read memory.
Breaking this out into its own header keeps all the MMU-related stuff
together and also limits the amount of header dependencies being
included (the primary motivation for this being the former reason).
We already read the necessary information with the
HostRead_Instruction() call. Internally, it calls HostRead_U32() as
well, so there's no difference in behavior.
If the delimiters of a memory aren't exactly the same as an address, but their size includes the memory breakpoint delimiter, the break will not go through. This makes it so that you can specify a search for a memory breakpoint with a data size and will check if the data fits with that size on all memory breakpoints so the breaks go through.
These are needed for the next commit. I had to modify the implementation of the DSP one too, but since it basically isn`t used, I don`t think it matters much. These options only matters when adding one.
It wouldn't impact performance until at least one memcheck is enabled. Because of this, it can be used in release builds without much impact, the only thing that woudl change is the use of HasAny method instead of preprocessor conditionals. Since the perforamnce decrease comes right when the first memcheck is added and restored when the last is removed, it basically is all beneficial and works the same way.
Fix Frame Advance and FifoPlayer pause/unpause/stop.
CPU::EnableStepping is not atomic but is called from multiple threads
which races and leaves the system in a random state; also instruction
stepping was unstable, m_StepEvent had an almost random value because
of the dual purpose it served which could cause races where CPU::Run
would SingleStep when it was supposed to be sleeping.
FifoPlayer never FinishStateMove()d which was causing it to deadlock.
Rather than partially reimplementing CPU::Run, just use CPUCoreBase
and then call CPU::Run(). More DRY and less likely to have weird bugs
specific to the player (i.e the previous freezing on pause/stop).
Refactor PowerPC::state into CPU since it manages the state of the
CPU Thread which is controlled by CPU, not PowerPC. This simplifies
the architecture somewhat and eliminates races that can be caused by
calling PowerPC state functions directly instead of using CPU's
(because they bypassed the EnableStepping lock).
Change TMemCheck::Action to return whether to break rather than calling
PPCDebugInterface::BreakNow, as this simplified the implementation; then
remove said method, as that was its only caller. One "interface" method
down, many to go...
The PowerPC CPU has bits in MSR (DR and IR) which control whether
addresses are translated. We should respect these instead of mixing
physical addresses and translated addresses into the same address space.
This is mostly mass-renaming calls to memory accesses APIs from places
which expect address translation to use a different version from those
which do not expect address translation.
This does very little on its own, but it's the first step to a correct BAT
implementation.
Small TLB lookup optimizations: this is the hot path for MMU code, so try to
make it better.
Template the TLB lookup functions based on the lookup type (opcode, data,
no exception).
Clean up the Read/Write functions and make them more consistent.
Add an early-exit path for MMU accesses to ReadFromHardware/WriteToHardware.
