Userland switch is implemented, as is basic system call support (using
SYSCALL/SYSRET). The system call handler is not yet complete: it doesn't
handle more than 6 arguments, and does not perform all the necessary kernel
entry/exit work (neither does the interrupt handler). However, this is
sufficient for runtime_loader to start and print some debug output.
Since the commpage is at a kernel address, changed 64-bit paging code
to match x86's behaviour of allowing user-accessible mappings to be
created in the kernel portion of the address space. This is also
required by some drivers.
Since this argument may be used to pass pointers, uint32 is not
correct for 64-bit. Effectively no change on 32-bit targets, both
size_t and uint32 are unsigned long there.
- Store whether or not the use of the horizontal scrollbar is desired
on the class itself. If the CLV was set to use the horizontal scrollbar,
and then asked to lay itself out while hidden, it would incorrectly assume
the horizontal scrollbar wasn't in use, and consequently repositioned its
views such that the horizontal scrollbar and outline view overlapped.
Uses the x86 architecture code, made fixes to printf formats and a
couple of 64-bit fixes. Only potentially intrusive change is that I've
changed PCI.h to use uint32 rather than ulong. I don't see any way
this would cause any issues, though.
Currently all debugger commands assume 32-bit pointers when formatting their
output. This means that on x86_64 the output is incorrectly formatted. Fixed
this by adding a B_PRINTF_POINTER_WIDTH definition (16 on 64-bit, 8 on
32-bit), and using this to correctly format the output. Not all commands have
been fixed yet, but all VM, slab, VFS, team, thread and image commands should
be correct.
No major changes to the kernel: just compiled in arch_smp.cpp and fixed the
IDT load in arch_cpu_init_percpu to use the correct limit for x86_64 (uses
sizeof(interrupt_descriptor)). In the boot loader, changed smp_boot_other_cpus
to construct a temporary GDT and get the page directory address from CR3, as
what's in kernel_args will be 64-bit stuff and will not work to switch the
CPUs into 32-bit mode in the trampoline code. Refactored 64-bit kernel entry
code to not use the stack after disabling paging, as the secondary CPUs are
given a 32-bit virtual stack address by the SMP trampoline code which will
no longer work.
A proper page fault handler was required for areas that were not locked
into the kernel address space. This enables the boot process to get
up to the point of trying to find the boot volume.
* Thread creation and switching is working fine, however threads do not yet
get interrupted because I've not implemented hardware interrupt handling
yet (I'll do that next).
* I've made some changes to struct iframe: I've removed the e/r prefixes
from the member names for both 32/64, so now they're just named ip, ax,
bp, etc. This makes it easier to write code that works with both 32/64
without having to deal with different iframe member names.
This has been done by adding typedefs in elf_common.h to the correct ELF
structures for the architecture, and changing all Elf32_* uses to those
types. I don't know whether image loading works as I cannot test it yet,
there may be some 64-bit safety issues around. However, symbol lookup for
the kernel is working correctly.
* Uses 64-bit multiplication, special handling for CPUs clocked < 1 GHz
in system_time_nsecs() not required like on x86.
* Tested against a straight conversion of the x86 version, noticably
faster with a large number of system_time() calls.
* typedef for jmp_buf was using int where it should be long.
* setjmp was clearing the buffer pointer rather than the signal mask before
calling sigsetjmp.
* KDL now works without crashing on x86_64.
* Added empty source files for all the 64-bit paging method code, and a
stub implementation of X86PagingMethod64Bit.
* arch_vm_translation_map.cpp has been modified to use X86PagingMethod64Bit
on x86_64.
* Some things are currently ifndef'd out completely for x86_64 because
they aren't implemented, there's a few other ifdef's to handle x86_64
differences but most of the code works unchanged.
* Renamed some i386_* functions to x86_*.
* Added a temporary method for setting the current thread on x86_64
(a global variable, not SMP safe). This will be changed to be done
via the GS segment but I've not implemented that yet.
For now I've just put all the stub functions that are needed to link the
kernel into a file called stubs.cpp. I've not yet moved across the interrupt
handling code or the ELF64 relocation code to the x86 directory. Once those
have been moved I can get rid of the x86_64 headers/source directories.
Not many changes seeing as there's not much x86_64 stuff done yet. Small
differences are handled with ifdefs, large differences (descriptors.h,
struct iframe) have separate headers under arch/x86/32 and arch/x86/64.
The setup procedure is fairly simple: create a 64-bit GDT and 64-bit page
tables that include all kernel mappings from the 32-bit address space, but at
the correct 64-bit address, then go through kernel_args and changes all virtual
addresses to 64-bit addresses, and finally switch to long mode and jump to the
kernel.
