The Storage subsystem, like the Audio and HID subsystems, exposes Unix
device files (for example, in the /dev directory). To ensure consistency
across the repository, we should make the Storage subsystem to reside in
the Kernel/Devices directory like the two other mentioned subsystems.
Otherwise, the message's contents might be in the cache only, so
VideoCore will read stale/garbage data from main memory.
This fixes framebuffer setup on bare metal with the data cache enabled.
While the PL011-based UART0 is currently reserved for the kernel
console, UART1 is free to be exposed to the userspace as `/dev/ttyS0`.
This will be used as the stdout of `run-tests-and-shutdown.sh` when
testing the AArch64 kernel.
The Raspberry Pi hardware doesn't support a proper software-initiated
shutdown, so this instead uses the watchdog to reboot to a special
partition which the firmware interprets as an immediate halt on
shutdown. When running under Qemu, this causes the emulator to exit.
This logo was actually used as a first sign of life in the very early
days of the aarch64 port.
Now that we boot into the graphical mode of the system just fine there's
no need to keep this.
This reuses the existing `RPi::Mailbox` interface to read the command
line via a VideoCore-specific mailbox message. This will have to be
replaced if that interface starts being smarter, as this is needed very
early, and nothing guarantees that a smarter Mailbox interface wouldn't
need to allocate or log, which is a no-no during early boot.
As the response string can be arbitrarily long, it's the caller's job to
provide a long enough buffer for `Mailbox::query_kernel_command_line`.
This commit chose 512 bytes, as it provides a large enough headroom over
the 150-200 characters implicitly added by the VC firmware.
The portable way would be to parse the `/chosen/bootargs` property of
the device tree, but we currently lack the scaffolding for doing that.
Support for this in QEMU relies on a patch that has not yet been
accepted upstream, but is available via our `Toolchain/BuildQEMU.sh`
script. It should, however, work on bare metal.

The definitions were being defined already by `BootInfo.h` and that was
being included here via transitive includes. The extern definitions of
the variables do not have the `READONLY_AFTER_INIT` attribute in
`BootInfo.h`. This causes conflicting definitions of the same variable.
The `READONLY_AFTER_INIT` specifier is not needed for extern variables
as it only effects their linkage, not their actual use, so just use the
versions in `BootInfo.h` instead of re-declaring.
These instances were detected by searching for files that include
AK/Format.h, but don't match the regex:
\\b(CheckedFormatString|critical_dmesgln|dbgln|dbgln_if|dmesgln|FormatBu
ilder|__FormatIfSupported|FormatIfSupported|FormatParser|FormatString|Fo
rmattable|Formatter|__format_value|HasFormatter|max_format_arguments|out
|outln|set_debug_enabled|StandardFormatter|TypeErasedFormatParams|TypeEr
asedParameter|VariadicFormatParams|v_critical_dmesgln|vdbgln|vdmesgln|vf
ormat|vout|warn|warnln|warnln_if)\\b
(Without the linebreaks.)
This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't
actually use any formatting functions.
Observe that this revealed that Userland/Libraries/LibC/signal.cpp is
missing an include.
In theory, one might use LibCPP to detect things like this
automatically, but let's do this one step after another.
kprintf should not really care about the hardware-specific details of
each UART or serial port out there, so instead of using x86 specific
instructions, let's ensure that we will compile only the relevant code
for debug output for a targeted-specific platform.
This makes sure that the debug message are properly aligned when running
the kernel bare-metal on a Raspberry Pi. While we are here, also move
the function out of line.
For an upcoming change to support interrupts in this driver, this class
has to inherit from IRQHandler. That in turn will make this class
virtual, which will then actually call the destructor of the class. We
don't want this to happen, thus we have to wrap the class in a
AK::NeverDestroyed.
Previously in the aarch64 Kernel, this would cause dbgln() to actually
print more characters of the next string in memory, because strings in
the Kernel are not zero terminated by default. Prevent this by using the
passed in length of the string.
