When we execute in userspace, the exception level is EL0, so to handle
exceptions, such as interrupts, and syscalls, we need to add handlers to
vector_table.S. For now we only support running userspace applications
in AArch64 mode, so this commit only adds the handlers for that mode.
Until now the kernel was always executing with SP_EL0, as this made the
initial dropping to EL1 a bit easier. This commit changes this behaviour
to use the corresponding SP_ELx for each exception level.
To make sure that the execution of the C++ code can continue, the
current stack pointer is copied into the corresponding SP_ELx just
before dropping an exception level.
This requires two new functions, context_first_init and
restore_context_and_eret. With this code in place, we are now running
the first idle thread! :^)
As there is no need for a Prekernel on aarch64, the Prekernel code was
moved into Kernel itself. The functionality remains the same.
SERENITY_KERNEL_AND_INITRD in run.sh specifies a kernel and an inital
ramdisk to be used by the emulator. This is needed because aarch64
does not need a Prekernel and the other ones do.
