Everything I know about the obscure "linked patch" system
|
||||
programming/binary interface in System 7.1-??
|
||||
The "Linked Patches" are an unusual 68k code format in the System
|
||||
resource fork of Mac OS 7-9. They contain initialization code to run at
|
||||
boot and runtime code for installation in RAM-based vector tables.
|
||||
|
||||
The idea was to provide a macro-based interface that a 68k assembly
|
||||
programmer could use to create RAM-based "patches" for a newly booted
|
||||
MacOS system. Similar patches were needed even in the original Macintosh
|
||||
System Software to fix bugs in the shipping ROM. Runtime patching also
|
||||
came to be used to add new software features to old Mac models. But
|
||||
writing a patch in pure 68k assembly, especially a "come-from" patch,
|
||||
was very tedious and usually required self-modifying code.
|
||||
The first Linked Patches shipped in the interdependent 'lpch' resources
|
||||
of System 7.0.
|
||||
|
||||
The linked patches incrementally improved that situation. Here is a
|
||||
summary of the design decisions made:
|
||||
From System 7.5, 'gpch' resources contained groups of functionally
|
||||
related 'lpch' resources. A group could be loaded or not according to
|
||||
the host machine. This was controlled by one 'gusd' and multiple 'gtbl'
|
||||
resource.
|
||||
|
||||
- A library of 68k macros provided a nearly-declarative way to describe
|
||||
to installation process for a given patch.
|
||||
- The runtime RAM usage was minimised by separating installation from
|
||||
runtime code, and by segmenting each code module at build time
|
||||
according to its target ROM releases.
|
||||
- Advantage was taken of the huge commonality carefully between
|
||||
Macintosh ROM releases, which was painstakingly maintained by binary
|
||||
patching and "overpatching".
|
||||
- Object files containing patches woulod be linked into resources by a
|
||||
full linker, making dead code elimination available and allowing the
|
||||
direct inclusion of code originally meant for a ROM build.
|
||||
- Runtime self-modification of code was done almost entirely by a
|
||||
generic runtime loader, instead of allowing each patch writer to come
|
||||
up with a unique and uniquely buggy solution.
|
||||
- Special assembly facilities were made available to ease the writing of
|
||||
come-from patches (patches that wrested control from a buggy segment
|
||||
of ROM by hijacking a possibly unrelated trap in the vicinity).
|
||||
Specifically, it was easy to describe the address of the target trap
|
||||
and to produce code that would test that the trap was indeed being
|
||||
called from that address.
|
||||
`patch_rip.py` is a Python 3 script to dump a group of 'lpch' resources
|
||||
(or a single 'gpch' resource) to text.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
First, `pip3 install macresources` to get the `rfx` command-line tool,
|
||||
which exposes the resources inside a resource fork like regular files.
|
||||
|
||||
Then point `patch_rip.py` at the System file of interest:
|
||||
|
||||
rfx ./patch_rip.py System/..namedfork/rsrc//lpch/ # macOS 10's kernel resource fork support
|
||||
rfx ./patch_rip.py System.hqx//lpch/ # BinHex file
|
||||
rfx ./patch_rip.py System//lpch/ # Rez file named "System.rdump"
|
||||
|
||||
To dump a numbered 'gpch' file instead, replace `//lpch/`, which expands
|
||||
to a path for each lpch resource, with `//gpch/NNN`, which expands to a
|
||||
single path.
|
||||
|
||||
The output is not disassembled, but it is annotated with the known
|
||||
locations of specialised "jsr" instructions, etc.
