As MMIO is placed at fixed physical addressed, and does not need to be
backed by real RAM physical pages, there's no need to use PhysicalPage
instances to track their pages.
This results in slightly reduced allocations, but more importantly
makes MMIO addresses which end up after the normal RAM ranges work,
like 64-bit PCI BARs usually are.
Prepare to remove biglock on PCI::Access in a future commit, so we can
ensure we only lock a spinlock on a precise PCI HostController if needed
instead of the entire subsystem.
We never used these virtual methods outside their own implementation,
so let's stop pretending that we should be able to utilize this for
unknown purpose.
The new baked image is a Prekernel and a Kernel baked together now, so
essentially we no longer need to pass the Prekernel as -kernel and the
actual kernel image as -initrd to QEMU, leaving the option to pass an
actual initrd or initramfs module later on with multiboot.
Before of this change, actually setting the m_access to contain the
HasBeen{Readeable,Writable,Executable} bits was done by the method of
Region set_access_bit which added ORing with (access << 4) when enabling
a certain access bit to achieve this.
Now this is changed and when calling set_{readeable,writable,executable}
methods, they will set an appropriate SetOnce flag that could be checked
later.
We add a prctl option which would be called once after the dynamic
loader has finished to do text relocations before calling the actual
program entry point.
This change makes it much more obvious when we are allowed to change
a region protection access from being writable to executable.
The dynamic loader should be able to do this, but after a certain point
it is obvious that such mechanism should be disabled.
This flag is set only once, and should never reset once it has been set,
making it an ideal SetOnce use-case.
It also simplifies the expected conditions for the enabling prctl call,
as we don't expect a boolean flag, but rather the specific prctl option
will always set (enable) Process' AddressSpace syscall region enforcing.
Nobody uses this functionality. I used this code on my old 2007 ICH7
test machine about a year ago, but bare metal is a small aspect of the
project, so it's safe to assume that nobody really tests this piece of
code.
Therefore, let's drop this for good and focus on more modern hardware.
The following command was used to clang-format these files:
clang-format-18 -i $(find . \
-not \( -path "./\.*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Base/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Build/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Toolchain/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Ports/*" -prune \) \
-type f -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.mm" -o -name "*.h")
There was a recent release of clang-format version 18.1.5 which fixes
errant spaces around `->` in these files.
LLVM 18 otherwise throws errors, as we use '-mgeneral-regs-only' in the
kernel.
The functions had to be moved into a .S, as there is no
'-mno-general-regs-only' and also no nice way to remove
'-mgeneral-regs-only' for a single .cpp file.
Since CLINT interrupts are wired directly into the hart, instead of
going through an interrupt controller (the PLIC), trying to handle them
through the normal numbered-interrupt mechanism will just complicate it
for no reason.
Instead we now handle them directly in the trap handler.
The USB::Pipe is abstracted from the actual USB host controller
implementation, so don't include the UHCIController.h file.
Also, we missed an include to UserOrKernelBuffer.h, so this is added to
ensure the code can still compile.
We have many places in the kernel code that we have boolean flags that
are only set once, and never reset again but are checked multiple times
before and after the time they're being set, which matches the purpose
of the SetOnce class.
"register asm" variables don't preserve the register value, so the call
to calculate_physical_to_link_time_address_offset in the asm input
operands is allowed to clobber a0.
We were reading the value instead of setting it (as required by the
specification). This worked only when we booted with a bootloader which
initialized NVMe before us.
The default type for integer literals is signed int, so we were
accidentally smearing those bits to the upper 32 bit of the result.
This resulted in extremely unreasonable timeouts.
We were accidentally doing a 16-bit read instead of an 8-bit read,
meaning we would also read the 'CACHE_LINE_SIZE' field immediately
following it, and never actually continue.
The following command was used to clang-format these files:
clang-format-18 -i $(find . \
-not \( -path "./\.*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Base/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Build/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Toolchain/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Ports/*" -prune \) \
-type f -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.mm" -o -name "*.h")
There are a couple of weird cases where clang-format now thinks that a
pointer access in an initializer list, e.g. `m_member(ptr->foo)`, is a
lambda return statement, and it puts spaces around the `->`.
