The kernel doesn't currently boot when using an address other than
0xc0000000 because the page tables aren't set up properly for that
but this at least lets us build the kernel.
The 32-bit boot code jumps to 0xc0000000 + entry address once page
tables are set up. This is unnecessary for 64-bit mode because we'll
do another far jump just moments later.
By moving the PhysicalPage classes out of the kernel heap into a static
array, one for each physical page, we can avoid the added overhead and
easily find them by indexing into an array.
This also wraps the PhysicalPage into a PhysicalPageEntry, which allows
us to re-use each slot with information where to find the next free
page.
Because the remainder variable will always be 0 unless a fault happened
we should not use it to decide if we have nothing left to memset when
finishing the fast path. This caused not all bytes to be zeroed
if the size was not an exact multiple of sizeof(size_t).
Fixes#8352
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.
Right now we're using the FS segment for our per-CPU struct. On x86_64
there's an instruction to switch between a kernel and usermode GS
segment (swapgs) which we could use.
This patch doesn't update the rest of the code to use swapgs but it
prepares for that by using the GS segment instead of the FS segment.
Userland faulted on the very first instruction before because the
PML4T/PDPT/etc. weren't marked as user-accessible. For some reason
x86 doesn't care about that.
Also, we need to provide an appropriate userspace stack segment
selector to iretq.
This isn't particularly useful because by the time we've entered
init() the CPU had better support x86_64 anyway. However this shows the
CPU flag in System Monitor - even in 32-bit mode.
This adds just enough stubs to make the kernel compile on x86_64. Obviously
it won't do anything useful - in fact it won't even attempt to boot because
Multiboot doesn't support ELF64 binaries - but it gets those compiler errors
out of the way so more progress can be made getting all the missing
functionality in place.
