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.
This commit is one step forward for pluggable driver modules.
Instead of creating instances of network adapter classes, we let
their detect() methods to figure out if there are existing devices
to initialize.
If we don't support ACPI, just don't instantiate an ACPI parser.
This is way less confusing than having a special parser class whose
only purpose is to do nothing.
We now search for the RSDP in ACPI::initialize() instead of letting
the parser constructor do it. This allows us to defer the decision
to create a parser until we're sure we can make a useful one.
- Get rid of the PCI::Initializer object which was not serving any real
purpose or holding any data members.
- Move command line parsing from init to PCI::initialize().
Also, duplicate data in dbg() and klog() calls were removed.
In addition, leakage of virtual address to kernel log is prevented.
This is done by replacing kprintf() calls to dbg() calls with the
leaked data instead.
Also, other kprintf() calls were replaced with klog().
Now the ACPI & PCI code is more safer, because we don't use raw pointers
or references to objects or data that are located in the physical
address space, so an accidental dereference cannot happen easily.
Instead, we use the PhysicalAddress class to represent those addresses.
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.
Also, PCI Initializer dismiss() now deletes the object correctly, and
the PCI initialization process no longer use the DMI decoder to
determine if PCI is supported.
grub configuration files include an entry to boot the OS without
ACPI support.
The new PCI subsystem is initialized during runtime.
PCI::Initializer is supposed to be called during early boot, to
perform a few tests, and initialize the proper configuration space
access mechanism. Kernel boot parameters can be specified by a user to
determine what tests will occur, to aid debugging on problematic
machines.
After that, PCI::Initializer should be dismissed.
PCI::IOAccess is a class that is derived from PCI::Access
class and implements PCI configuration space access mechanism via x86
IO ports.
PCI::MMIOAccess is a class that is derived from PCI::Access
and implements PCI configurtaion space access mechanism via memory
access.
The new PCI subsystem also supports determination of IO/MMIO space
needed by a device by checking a given BAR.
In addition, Every device or component that use the PCI subsystem has
changed to match the last changes.
