Two cvar-gated AUDIT-HLC probes for thread-spawn lineage attribution: 1. ExCreateThread_entry shim logs (start_address, start_context, xapi, flags, kernel lr, guest_lr). guest_lr is recovered via the same one-frame-up PPC back-chain walk used by the NtWaitForSingleObjectEx probe (lr saved at [back2 - 8]). 2. XThread::Execute emits (tid, start_address, start_context, xapi) at the very top so each running thread can be matched back to its creating ExCreateThread entry by (start_address, start_context). Gated on the existing cvars::audit_handle_lifecycle; no new cvar. Pulled in xenia/kernel/kernel_flags.h from xthread.cc to expose the cvar declaration there. Used by audit-059 round 12 to enumerate the 23 thread spawns in canary's 35 s boot, attribute each to its guest_lr caller, and cross- reference against ours' 10 spawns to identify the 7 missing spawner functions (including sub_824F7800 which spawns the 4 silph PKEVENT workers at entry=0x82506528/58/88/B8 via guest_lr=0x824F7B24).

Xenia Canary - Xbox 360 Emulator
Xenia Canary is an experimental fork of the Xenia emulator. For more information, see the Xenia Canary wiki.
Come chat with us about emulator-related topics on Discord.
For developer chat join #dev but stay on topic. Lurking is not only fine, but encouraged!

xb script. When writing code, check the style guide
and be sure to run clang-format!
Contributors Wanted!
Have some spare time, know advanced C++, and want to write an emulator? Contribute! There's a ton of work that needs to be done, a lot of which is wide open greenfield fun.
For general rules and guidelines please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Fixes and optimizations are always welcome (please!), but in addition to that there are some major work areas still untouched:
- Help work through missing functionality/bugs in games
- Reduce the size of Xenia's huge log files
- Skilled with Linux? A strong contributor is needed to help with porting
See more projects good for contributors. It's a good idea to ask on Discord and check the issues page before beginning work on something.
