The Thread Local Region is <code>0x200</code> bytes large. The
|
||||||
|
first <code>0x180</code> bytes are effectively reserved for the
|
||||||
|
kernel, while the last <code>0x80</code> bytes (
|
||||||
|
<code>0x180-0x200</code>) are for userland. Official software
|
||||||
|
respects this split, placing its TLS data at offset{" "}
|
||||||
|
<code>0x180</code>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Previous versions of <code>libnx</code> chose to start user TLS
|
||||||
|
slots at <code>0x108</code> (encroaching on the kernel's area)
|
||||||
|
to maximize the number of available slots. This was safe until
|
||||||
|
Firmware 21.0.0, where Nintendo added{" "}
|
||||||
|
<code>cache_maintenance_flag</code> at <code>0x104</code> and{" "}
|

|
<code>thread_cpu_time</code> at <code>0x108</code>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Now, the kernel writes to <code>0x108</code> on every thread
|
||||||
|
switch, overwriting the TLS data that old homebrew stored there.
|
||||||
|
This corruption causes the crashes.

This isn't a bug; it's a conflict over real estate. In Firmware
|
|
||||||
21.0.0, Nintendo optimized the kernel to write CPU timing data
|
|
||||||
to a specific memory address (<code>usertls + 0x108</code>) on
|
|

every thread switch.

<p>
|

Previous versions of <code>libnx</code> (the homebrew library)
|
|
||||||
assumed this space was unused and stored data there. Official
|
|
||||||
software always respected the reservation, so it wasn't
|
|
||||||
affected. Now that the kernel—and by extension,
|
|
||||||
Atmosphère—actively uses that space, old homebrew gets its
|
|
||||||
memory overwritten, leading to immediate crashes.
