This second stack leads to JNI problems on Android, because ART fetches
the address and size of the original stack using pthread functions
(see GetThreadStack in art/runtime/thread.cc), and (presumably) treats
stack addresses outside of the original stack as invalid. (What I don't
understand is why some JNI operations on the CPU thread work fine
despite this but others don't.)
Instead of creating a second stack, let's borrow the approach ART uses:
Use pthread functions to find out the stack's address and size, then
install guard pages at an appropriate location. This lets us get rid
of a workaround we had in the MsgAlert function.
Because we're no longer choosing the stack size ourselves, I've made some
tweaks to where the put the guard pages. Previously we had a stack of
2 MiB and a safe zone of 512 KiB. We now accept stacks as small as 512 KiB
(used on macOS) and use a safe zone of 256 KiB. I feel like this should
be fine, but haven't done much testing beyond "it seems to work".
By the way, on Windows it was already the case that we didn't create
a second stack... But there was a bug in the implementation!
The code for protecting the stack has to run on the CPU thread, since
it's the CPU thread's stack we want to protect, but it was actually
running on EmuThread. This commit fixes that, since now this bug
matters on other operating systems too.
It was a bit silly having four functions for effectively the same thing
in all of SettingsFragmentView, SettingsFragment, SettingsActivityView,
SettingsActivity, and SettingsActivityPresenter.
With this change, we split on the four MenuTag types in
SettingsActivityPresenter instead of in SettingsAdapter.
The settings GameCube Controller N and Wii Remote N (where N is a number)
have two purposes: You can select what controller type you want to use,
and also, when you select a controller type (even if you're selecting the
one that already is selected), the mapping settings open. This second part
is less discoverable than it ideally should be. I'm changing it so that
there now is a button for opening the mapping settings instead.
I also changed LoadConfig, but that change doesn't affect correctness,
it's only so it looks neat by matching SaveConfig.
This bug was added in 18a4afb053, the
commit that introduced DefaultValue::Disabled. The bug can't actually be
triggered in master, but it can be triggered in the Android input
overhaul PR.
