Since this range is mapped in already in the kernel page directory, we
can initialize it before jumping into the first kernel process which
lets us avoid mapping in the range into init_stage2's address space.
This brings us half-way to removing the shared bottom 2 MiB mapping in
every process, leaving only the Prekernel.
This small change allows to use the IOAPIC by default without to enable
SMP mode, which emulates Uni-Processor setup with IOAPIC instead of
using the PIC.
This opens the opportunity to utilize other types of interrupts like MSI
and MSI-X interrupts.
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
Previously there was a mix of returning plain strings and returning
explicit string views using `operator ""sv`. This change switches them
all to standardized on `operator ""sv` as it avoids a call to strlen.
This will somwhat help unify them also under the same SysFS directory in
the commit.
Also, it feels much more like this change reflects the reality that both
ACPI and the BIOS are part of the firmware on x86 computers.
This expands the reach of error propagation greatly throughout the
kernel. Sadly, it also exposes the fact that we're allocating (and
doing other fallible things) in constructors all over the place.
This patch doesn't attempt to address that of course. That's work for
our future selves.
This makes for nicer handling of errors compared to checking whether a
RefPtr is null. Additionally, this will give way to return different
types of errors in the future.
When booting AP's, we identity map a region at 0x8000 while doing the
initial bringup sequence. This is the only thing in the kernel that
requires an identity mapping, yet we had a bunch of generic API's and a
dedicated VirtualRangeAllocator in every PageDirectory for this purpose.
This patch simplifies the situation by moving the identity mapping logic
to the AP boot code and removing the generic API's.
When retrieving and setting x86 MSRs two registers are required. The
existing setter and getter for the MSR class made this implementation
detail visible to the caller. This changes the setter and getter to
use u64 instead.
If we are in a shared interrupt handler, the called handlers might
indicate it was not their interrupt, so we should not increment the
call counter of these handlers.
The variety of checks for Processor::id() == 0 could use some assistance
in the readability department. This change adds a new function to
represent this check, and replaces the comparison everywhere it's used.

Alot of code is shared between i386/i686/x86 and x86_64
and a lot probably will be used for compatability modes.
So we start by moving the headers into one Directory.
We will probalby be able to move some cpp files aswell.
Because registering and unregistering interrupt handlers triggers
calls to virtual functions, we can't do this in the constructor
and destructor.
Fixes#5539
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
There's no real system here, I just added it to various functions
that I don't believe we ever want to call after initialization
has finished.
With these changes, we're able to unmap 60 KiB of kernel text
after init. :^)
If we try to align a number above 0xfffff000 to the next multiple of
the page size (4 KiB), it would wrap around to 0. This is most likely
never what we want, so let's assert if that happens.
Now that we no longer need to support the signal trampolines being
user-accessible inside the kernel memory range, we can get rid of the
"kernel" and "user-accessible" flags on Region and simply use the
address of the region to determine whether it's kernel or user.
This also tightens the page table mapping code, since it can now set
user-accessibility based solely on the virtual address of a page.
This eliminates the window between calling Processor::current and
the member function where a thread could be moved to another
processor. This is generally not as big of a concern as with
Processor::current_thread, but also slightly more light weight.
These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.Everything:
The modifications in this commit were automatically made using the
following command:
find . -name '*.cpp' -exec sed -i -E 's/dbg\(\) << ("[^"{]*");/dbgln\(\1\);/' {} \;
Problem:
- C functions with no arguments require a single `void` in the argument list.
Solution:
- Put the `void` in the argument list of functions in C header files.
Problem:
- `(void)` simply casts the expression to void. This is understood to
indicate that it is ignored, but this is really a compiler trick to
get the compiler to not generate a warning.
Solution:
- Use the `[[maybe_unused]]` attribute to indicate the value is unused.
Note:
- Functions taking a `(void)` argument list have also been changed to
`()` because this is not needed and shows up in the same grep
command.
This enables the APIC timer on all CPUs, which means Scheduler::timer_tick
is now called on all CPUs independently. We still don't do anything on
the APs as it instantly crashes due to a number of other problems.
