The friend finder thread set friendFinderRunning itself, after a DNS
lookup of the adhoc server. A shutdown in that window cleared the flag
first; the thread then set it again, looped forever, and the join in
NetAdhocctl_Term() never returned. Gods Eater Burst hit this in about one
headless run in six. The flag is now set before the thread is created,
and a finished thread is joined before a new one replaces it, which
would otherwise call std::terminate.
The built-in adhoc server thread had the same race, behind its check for
an existing server, and gets the same fix.

- Wait on actionComplete instead of a bare condition variable wait, which
could miss the wakeup and hang until resume.
- Serialize requesters, so two debuggers can't overwrite each other's
action, and make SetCmdValue/FlushDrawing wait too.
- Give up and withdraw the request when stepping ends, instead of waiting
forever (this deadlocked game shutdown against the Win32 GE debugger).
- Run requests during CPU stepping, which already accepted them.
- Clear the stepping state on Core_Resume from GE stepping and on
GPU_Shutdown.

intr/registersub, re-recorded on a 6.61 PSP with every test in the
directory rebuilt, finds no handler on interrupt 8 where the old
recording found one that didn't take user sub-interrupts. The old one was
probably made on an earlier firmware, whose drivers hooked it. Follow
6.61, the firmware PPSSPP models.

When sceAudioOutputBlocking has to wait and the wait fails at once
(interrupts or dispatch disabled, inside an interrupt), the firmware
returns the error but leaves the channel's waiting flag set, and the
channel can never be used or released again. Keep the error, drop the
rest: whether the channel was busy at that moment is timing, and a
small difference in ours could lose a channel for the rest of a game
where hardware wouldn't. No game can depend on losing one.
Savestates made while this was emulated have the flag cleared on load.

Measured with pspautotests display/vblanklen: 730-770us from
sceDisplayWaitVblankStart returning to the end of vblank, with an hcount
of up to 14 inside it. The old value dated from the first source drop
and left the highest hcount at 13. display/hcount now passes (with the
test fixed not to depend on where a line boundary falls).
Booting 75 games against master shows no difference.

scePowerSetCpuClockFrequency refuses a CPU clock above the PLL's, and
scePowerGetCpuClockFrequencyFloat computes pll * n / 511 in single
precision like the firmware, instead of converting whole Hz, which was
off in the last digit. power/freq now passes.

From pspautotests threads/scheduling/costs: sceKernelCreateThread takes
about 150us plus roughly a cycle per byte of stack, which the kernel fills
with 0xFF (1.3ms for 256KB), and sceKernelDeleteThread 50-100us whatever
the stack size. Brings threads/scheduling/scheduling a good deal closer;
what's left needs a thread that wakes during a long syscall to preempt it.

The time queries rescheduled since 2013, so that a game spinning on the
clock would let a thread that a timing event had woken run (it fixed
audio in Crimson Gem Saga and Where Is My Heart?). In 2014 audio and
delay wakeups started rescheduling themselves, but IO completion never
did, and a movie reader thread in Driver 76 was only getting in through
the time queries. Now IO completion dispatches like any other wakeup.
The PSP doesn't dispatch in a time query, and doing so let a thread
that a terminate woke run too early. threads/threads/terminate now
passes.
Checked by booting 75 games against master: the same in all of them,
with Asphalt Urban GT2 getting further in the same time.

When the new thread outranks the caller, the firmware switches to it
directly, even if a thread of still better priority is ready but hasn't
been dispatched (one that a sceKernelTerminateThread woke, say). Verified
against the new pspautotests threads/threads/termsuspended.

Only the GE and vblank interrupts take user sub-interrupt handlers, and
vblank only in slots 0-15, with some of the rest already held by the
kernel. The errors follow interruptman.prx's checks, and which interrupts
have handlers at all is read back from pspautotests intr/registersub and
intr/releasesub, which now pass.

From pspautotests intr/waits:
- sceAudioOutputBlocking sets the channel's waiting flag before its
event flag wait, and when that wait fails at once (interrupts or
dispatch disabled, or inside an interrupt) it returns the error
without clearing the flag. The channel stays busy from then on, and
can't be released.
- The SRC blocking output fails the same way even when a completion is
already there, leaving the buffer armed.
- After a block that had samples in it, the mixer DMA is still playing
it out, so a buffer arriving then isn't read early or restarts it.
- sceKernelVolatileMemLock only writes the fake address and size
through pointers that are there, instead of faulting on NULL.
intr/waits now runs to the end; one scheduling marker still differs, from
async IO timing.

- A timeout of 0 to sceUmdWaitDriveStatWithTimer/CB means no timeout,
not a tiny one (or 8ms for the CB version).
- Timeouts round like the event flag wait does.
- A wait with no timeout no longer times out right after a callback.
- sceUmdRegisterUMDCallBack only accepts callbacks.
- sceUmdActivate requires the name to be exactly "disc0:", and it and
sceUmdDeactivate/sceUmdGetDiscInfo reject kernel pointers.
- sceUmdDeactivate needs a name in mode 2.

They take tens of milliseconds for the caller, but queueing that time on
the shared ME timeline made the SAS mix wait behind them. In Jak and
Daxter that held up the sound threads at the end of the first clip, so
video_sound_thread got its last wake only after the game had deleted it
(NOT_DORMANT), and the orphaned thread then read a freed context.

Measured on a PSP (pspautotests video/mp4/mp4timing, audio/audiocodec/timing):
- sceVideocodec Open, GetEDRAM, GetVersion and ReleaseEDRAM take ~70-150us,
Init ~26.6ms (sceMpegCreate is 27-28ms), Delete ~21ms (was 2ms), and
Stop 132us with nothing held back. All go through the ME queue now.
- Decodes that return no picture take as long as those that do; they
were free.
- Open reports the EDRAM the decoder needs (0x3c2c) at ctx+0x18, which
mpeg.prx passes on to GetEDRAM.
- sceAudiocodec: failed decodes (214/142/169us) and mono Atrac3+ init (524us).

Checked against pspautotests audio/audiocodec, recorded on a PSP.
- Atrac3+: at3Related selects headered (mpeg.prx) or raw (libatrac3plus)
frames, instead of sniffing for the sync word. The header's size field
is 10 bits, as the context's. Header errors 0x211/0x213, bad frames
0x20a, all returning SCE_AVCODEC_ERROR_INVALID_DATA with nothing read.
- The first successfully decoded Atrac3+ frame, and the first two AAC
frames, produce no output. Checked sample-for-sample against hardware.
- Atrac3: the parameter at 0x28 selects the frame layout, as
libatrac3plus.prx's table maps it. We used to read its low bit as a
joint-stereo flag, which decoded mono (0x0F) streams as stereo garbage.
AtracCtx2 had the table's fields swapped the same way.
- at3_standalone's Atrac3 output was inverted relative to the PSP's
(sceAtrac too). Negate the IMDCT scale.
- CheckNeedMem sizes (AAC is 0x658c), codec 0x1004/0x1005, Init
validation (AAC sample rate, Atrac3 parameter, Atrac3+ channels), and
ReleaseEDRAM clearing edramAddr.
- Every call that reaches the ME now blocks for its measured time, and
decode time is modelled per codec and frame size.

The end callback checked the kernel object's lockThread, which for an
lwmutex is only refreshed by sceKernelReferLwMutexStatus. The lock state
lives in the workarea, so an unlock during the callback left the waiter
waiting forever. Verified against pspautotests threads/lwmutex/callbacks.

Replaces the global in-callback counter with each thread's own mipscall
chain, so several threads can be inside callbacks at once, and other
threads' callbacks (better priority ones right away) run while one is.
Verified against pspautotests threads/callbacks/otherthread, recursion
and intrnotify:
- A callback nests only one level: a CB wait that would go deeper never
returns on hardware, so the callback is left pending instead.
- A non-CB wait inside a callback no longer runs callbacks because of
the CB wait the callback interrupted.
- Callbacks for a waiting thread are only taken when it beats both the
running thread and every ready one. After an interrupt (which runs on
the idle thread) that's the thread about to resume, not idle.

Verified against pspautotests threads/callbacks/waittypes:
- __KernelThreadingInit() cleared the wait type callback table after
__KernelMemoryInit() had registered VPL and FPL in it, so a VPL or FPL
wait interrupted by a callback was never paused or resumed, and could
hang forever.
- A msgpipe deleted during a callback left its waiter waiting, instead
of waking it with WAIT_DELETE.
- A wait that got its object during a callback reported no time left;
put the timer back before trying to unlock, so the unlock writes what
remains.

Verified against pspautotests threads/callbacks/delivery:
- Notifying the callback of a better priority thread in a CB wait runs
it right away. Callbacks of other waiting threads stay pending until
those threads would get to run, rather than being taken at any
reschedule, so they can still be counted or canceled.
- sceKernelCancelCallback clears the notify count, not just the arg.
threads/callbacks/cancel, count and umd/wait/wait now pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Verified against new pspautotests threads/callbacks/afterwait and nested:
- A thread inside a callback runs its own pending callbacks (even the
same one again) nested, when it enters a CB wait. Waits paused by a
nested callback are keyed by the outer callback's id.
- sceKernelCheckCallback inside a callback returns ILLEGAL_CONTEXT
without running anything.
- sceKernelSleepThreadCB with a queued wakeup runs pending callbacks
before consuming it.
- A thread whose wait ended during a callback keeps the CPU, instead of
queueing behind threads of the same priority.
threads/callbacks/notify now passes too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
A thread whose wait ends without a context switch (for example when a
callback run from the wait satisfies it) keeps its old waitType. If it
later ran a callback, from sceUmdWaitDriveStatCB with the drive already
ready for instance, the stale wait's begin/end hooks ran, couldn't find
the paused wait, and resumed the thread with SCE_KERNEL_ERROR_WAIT_DELETE,
overwriting the HLE call's return value.
Should fix "sceUmdWaitDriveStatCB: error 0x800201b5" dialog in
Maru Goukaku TOEIC Test Portable (#7576).

__DmacDoState and __UsbCamDoState existed but weren't in the module list,

The first one got n-1, which is the state's last event, so that one moved

A state from before the event kept its boot-time id, which Atrac restores

Neither is serialized, and both went stale on load. The ME busy time was

The write pass stores memory with the JIT's emuhacks cleared, but the
verify pass compared against memory that still had them, so it would

Some DoState code meant for after a load ran on every save:
- scePower reset the bus frequency a game set (and with a locked CPU
speed, applied the current setting to the clock).
- sceDisplay reset the lag sync baseline, and could schedule lag sync in
the measuring pass only, which failed the save.
- GPUState dirtied the texture, sceUmd notified the UI, and sceMpeg
dropped a pending ringbuffer fix-up for an old state.

CoreTiming::DoState replaced every event's callback with the anti-crash
one in every mode, relying on each module's restore to put it back. A save
that failed partway never got to those, and left the running game with
events that break into the debugger. The missing-section fallbacks then
also ran on the save: cheats and the mic re-registered events into the
wrong slots, and achievements reset the runtime.
