I've noticed that the KVM hypervisor vendor ID string contained null
terminators in the serialized JSON string in /proc/cpuinfo - let's avoid
that, and err on the side of caution and strip them from all strings
built from CPUID register values. They may not be fixed width after all.
Let's use terminology from the the Intel manual to avoid confusion.
Also add `_string` suffixes to better distinguish the numeric values
from the string values.
We're now able to detect all the regular CPUID feature flags from
ECX/EDX for EAX=1 :^)
None of the new ones are being used for anything yet, but they will show
up in /proc/cpuinfo and subsequently lscpu and SystemMonitor.
Note that I replaced the periods from the SSE 4.1 and 4.2 instructions
with underscores, which matches the internal enum names, Linux's
/proc/cpuinfo and the general pattern of replacing special characters
with underscores to limit feature names to [a-z0-9_].
The enum member stringification has been moved to a new function for
better re-usability and to avoid cluttering up Processor.cpp.
This will make it possible to add many, many more CPU features - more
than the current limit 32 and later limit of 64 if we stick with an enum
class to be specific :^)
Checks of ECX go before EDX, and the bit indices are now ordered
properly. Additionally, handling of the EDX[11] bit has been moved into
a lambda function to keep the series of if statements neatly together.
All of this makes it *a lot* easier to follow along and compare the
implementation to the tables in the Intel manual, e.g. to find missing
checks.
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.
These are not technically required, since the Thread constructor
already sets these, but they are set on i686, so let's try and keep
consistent behaviour between the different archs.
The AP boot code was partially adapted to build on x86_64 but didn't
properly jump into 64 bit mode. Furthermore, the APIC code was still
using 32 bit pointers.
Fixes#12662
Function-local `static constexpr` variables can be `constexpr`. This
can reduce memory consumption, binary size, and offer additional
compiler optimizations.
These changes result in a stripped x86_64 kernel binary size reduction
of 592 bytes.
