This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
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.
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 :^)
serial_debug will output all the kprintf and dbgprintf data to COM1 at
8-N-1 57600 baud. this is particularly useful for debugging the boot
process on live hardware.
Note: it must be the first parameter in the boot cmdline.
The scheduler now operates on threads, rather than on processes.
Each process has a main thread, and can have any number of additional
threads. The process exits when the main thread exits.
This patch doesn't actually spawn any additional threads, it merely
does all the plumbing needed to make it possible. :^)
The SpinLock was all backwards and didn't actually work. Fixing it exposed
how wrong most of the locking here is.
I need to come up with a better granularity here.
