The title allocates, maps and releases about 48 direct-memory blocks per frame.
Each allocation created a pagefile-backed section and each release closed it.
A released section whose pages were never stored to (resident pages keep their
data in private memory and saved buffers, not in the section) is still blank,
so up to 256 such sections of at most 16 MiB, 256 MiB in total, are kept by
size and handed to the next allocation of that size instead of a new
CreateFileMappingW. APS5_NO_DIRECT_MEMORY_SECTION_POOL keeps the old behaviour.

When the native open failed with an error other than ENOENT, OpenNative
probed whether the path is a directory with std::filesystem::is_directory.
With the MinGW runtime that probe can set errno to ENOENT, and OpenNative
then reported the probe's ENOENT instead of the open error. On Windows 11
22621 a symbolic link loop failed with ELOOP from the native open and
sceKernelOpen returned 0x80020002, so guest_filesystem aborted at the
ELOOP check added by #8640.
Keep the open error and restore it when the path is not a directory.

pthread_kill(thread, 0) returned 0 for every handle other than the caller's before it asked whether the thread was still alive. FreeBSD's _pthread_kill looks the thread up with _thr_find_thread before it checks for signal 0, so the call answers ESRCH for a thread that has ended or was never a thread. The liveness check now runs before the signal 0 shortcut; the calling thread still answers 0.

sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounter counted nanoseconds and
sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounterFrequency returned 1 GHz, while
sceKernelGetTscFrequency reports the host TSC rate. On the console the
process time counter runs at the TSC frequency, so a title may scale
the counter by sceKernelGetTscFrequency. PPSA34501 does, and its clock
ran 3.4 times slow on a 3.4 GHz host: it paced its 60 Hz frames to
17.6 fps and its game time and audio drifted apart.
The counter now ticks at sceKernelGetTscFrequency, over the same
monotonic clock and APS5_TIME_SCALE, and its frequency is that rate.
With the stem cut at the last extension, the decoy guest_module_fixture.sprx.elf.GUEST.PRX
and the dangling link guest_module_fixture.zprx.elf.GUEST.PRX had the stems
guest_module_fixture.sprx and guest_module_fixture.zprx, so they no longer
matched the request and the shortest-name rule was not exercised. They are now
guest_module_fixture.sprx.GUEST.PRX and guest_module_fixture.zprx.GUEST.PRX,
which have the request's stem and are longer than the real module copy.

Since #8512 a raise redirects a target running host code once 50 ms have
passed since the raise began. A target inside a system call that is not a
wait, such as the NtWriteFile of an fwrite that holds its stream lock, can
stay there longer; the redirect then ran the handler with the lock held.
SONIC SUPERSTARS froze at frame 67 again on main this way, with its GC
raise delivered at ntdll!ZwWriteFile+20.
A target stopped right after a syscall instruction in ntdll now restarts
the 50 ms host-code window, so the raise keeps sampling until the call
returns and the target leaves host code, bounded by the 1 s retry limit.
guest_raise_in_system_call holds a writer in NtWriteFile on a slowly
drained pipe; it times out on main and passes with this change.

Animal Well (PPSA22520) imports _Thrd_detach (L7f7zYwBvZA) from libc.prx and nothing exports it, so the Windows loader stops at startup. Register libkernel's pthread_detach with libc like pthread_create and pthread_join, and return _Thrd_error (4) when it fails.

Culprit: none in 892a4f1328..b85d972f42; race in the Windows vnode watch (50b06110b guarded only the loop). Run 39473930499, guest_kqueue: a watched file deleted before registration is snapshotted under $Extend\$Deleted, WatchParent got ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED and threw.
