As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
The kernel and its static data structures are no longer identity-mapped
in the bottom 8MB of the address space, but instead move above 3GB.
The first 8MB above 3GB are pseudo-identity-mapped to the bottom 8MB of
the physical address space. But things don't have to stay this way!
Thanks to Jesse who made an earlier attempt at this, it was really easy
to get device drivers working once the page tables were in place! :^)
Fixes#734.
Turns out we can use abi::__cxa_demangle() for this, and all we need to
provide is sprintf(), realloc() and free(), so this patch exposes them.
We now have fully demangled C++ backtraces :^)
The kernel is now no longer identity mapped to the bottom 8MiB of
memory, and is now mapped at the higher address of `0xc0000000`.
The lower ~1MiB of memory (from GRUB's mmap), however is still
identity mapped to provide an easy way for the kernel to get
physical pages for things such as DMA etc. These could later be
mapped to the higher address too, as I'm not too sure how to
go about doing this elegantly without a lot of address subtractions.
Move the kernel image to the 1 MB physical mark. This prevents it from
colliding with stuff like the VGA memory. This was causing us to end
up with the BIOS screen contents sneaking into kernel memory sometimes.
This patch also bumps the kmalloc heap size from 1 MB to 3 MB. It's not
the perfect permanent solution (obviously) but it should get the OOM
monkey off our backs for a while.
