# The Limine Boot Protocol
The Limine boot protocol is a modern, minimal, fast, and extensible boot
protocol, with a focus on backwards and forwards compatibility,
created from the experience gained by working on the
[stivale boot protocols](https://github.com/stivale).
This file serves as the official centralised collection of features that
the Limine boot protocol is composed of. Other bootloaders may support extra
unofficial features, but it is strongly recommended to avoid fragmentation
and submit new features by opening a pull request to this repository.
The [limine.h](/limine.h) file provides an implementation of all the
structures and constants described in this document, for the C and C++
languages.
## General Notes
All pointers are 64-bit wide. All pointers point to the object with the
higher half direct map offset already added to them, unless otherwise noted.
The calling convention matches the SysV C ABI for the specific architecture.
## Features
The protocol is centered around the concept of request/response - collectively
named "features" - where the kernel requests some action or information from
the bootloader, and the bootloader responds accordingly, if it is capable of
doing so.
In C terms, a feature is composed of 2 structure: the request, and the response.
A request has 3 mandatory members at the beginning of the structure:
```c
struct limine_example_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_example_response *response;
... optional members follow ...
};
```
* `id` - The ID of the request. This is an 8-byte aligned magic number that the
bootloader will scan for inside the executable file to find requests. Requests
may be located anywhere inside the executable as long as they are 8-byte
aligned. There may only be 1 of the same request. The bootloader will refuse
to boot an executable with multiple of the same request IDs. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a list of requests explicitly via an executable file section. See "Limine Requests Section".
* `revision` - The revision of the request that the kernel provides. This starts at 0 and is
bumped whenever new members or functionality are added to the request structure.
Bootloaders process requests in a backwards compatible manner, *always*. This
means that if the bootloader does not support the revision of the request,
it will process the request as if were the highest revision that the bootloader
supports.
* `response` - This field is filled in by the bootloader at load time, with a
pointer to the response structure, if the request was successfully processed.
If the request is unsupported or was not successfully processed, this field
is *left untouched*, meaning that if it was set to `NULL`, it will stay that
way.
A response has only 1 mandatory member at the beginning of the structure:
```c
struct limine_example_response {
uint64_t revision;
... optional members follow ...
};
```
* `revision` - Like for requests, bootloaders will instead mark responses with a
revision number. This revision is not coupled between requests and responses,
as they are bumped individually when new members are added or functionality is
changed. Bootloaders will set the revision to the one they provide, and this is
*always backwards compatible*, meaning higher revisions support all that lower
revisions do.
This is all there is to features. For a list of official Limine features, read
the "Feature List" section below.
## Limine Requests Section
If the executable kernel file contains a `.limine_reqs` section, the bootloader
will, instead of scanning the executable for requests, fetch the requests
from a NULL-terminated array of pointers to the provided requests, contained
inside said section.
## Entry memory layout
The protocol mandates kernels to load themselves at or above
`0xffffffff80000000`. Lower half kernels are *not supported*.
At handoff, the kernel will be properly loaded and mapped with appropriate
MMU permissions at the requested virtual memory address (provided it is at
or above `0xffffffff80000000`).
No specific physical memory placement is guaranteed. In order to determine
where the kernel is loaded in physical memory, see the Kernel Address feature
below.
Alongside the loaded kernel, the bootloader will set up memory mappings as such:
```
Base Physical Address - Size -> Virtual address
0x0000000000001000 - 4 GiB plus any additional memory map entry -> 0x0000000000001000
0x0000000000000000 - 4 GiB plus any additional memory map entry -> HHDM start
```
Where HHDM start is returned by the Higher Half Direct Map feature (see below).
These mappings are supervisor, read, write, execute (-rwx).
The bootloader page tables are in bootloader-reclaimable memory (see Memory Map
feature below), and their specific layout is undefined as long as they provide
the above memory mappings.
If the kernel is a position independent executable, the bootloader is free to
relocate it as it sees fit, potentially performing KASLR (as specified by the
config).
## Entry machine state
### x86_64
`rip` will be the entry point as defined as part of the executable file format,
unless the an Entry Point feature is requested (see below), in which case,
the value of `rip` is going to be taken from there.
At entry all segment registers are loaded as 64 bit code/data segments, limits
and bases are ignored since this is 64-bit mode.
The GDT register is loaded to point to a GDT, in bootloader-reserved memory,
with at least the following entries, starting at offset 0:
- Null descriptor
- 16-bit code descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffff`. Readable.
- 16-bit data descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffff`. Writable.
- 32-bit code descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffffffff`. Readable.
- 32-bit data descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffffffff`. Writable.
- 64-bit code descriptor. Base and limit irrelevant. Readable.
- 64-bit data descriptor. Base and limit irrelevant. Writable.
The IDT is in an undefined state. Kernel must load its own.
IF flag, VM flag, and direction flag are cleared on entry. Other flags
undefined.
PG is enabled (`cr0`), PE is enabled (`cr0`), PAE is enabled (`cr4`),
WP is enabled (`cr0`), LME is enabled (`EFER`), NX is enabled (`EFER`).
If 5-level paging is requested and available, then 5-level paging is enabled
(LA57 bit in `cr4`).
The A20 gate is opened.
Legacy PIC and IO APIC IRQs are all masked.
If booted by EFI/UEFI, boot services are exited.
`rsp` is set to point to a stack, in bootloader-reserved memory, which is
at least 64KiB (65536 bytes) in size, or the size specified in the Stack
Size Request (see below). An invalid return address of 0 is pushed
to the stack before jumping to the kernel.
All other general purpose registers are set to 0.
## Feature List
Request IDs are composed of 4 64-bit unsigned integers, but the first 2 are
common to every request:
```c
#define LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC 0xc7b1dd30df4c8b88, 0x0a82e883a194f07b
```
### Bootloader Info Feature
ID:
```c
#define LIMINE_BOOTLOADER_INFO_REQUEST { LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC, 0xf55038d8e2a1202f, 0x279426fcf5f59740 }
```
Request:
```c
struct limine_bootloader_info_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_bootloader_info_response *response;
};
```
Response:
```c
struct limine_bootloader_info_response {
uint64_t revision;
char *name;
char *version;
};
```
`name` and `version` are 0-terminated ASCII strings containing the name and
version of the loading bootloader.
### Stack Size Feature
ID:
```c
#define LIMINE_STACK_SIZE_REQUEST { LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC, 0x224ef0460a8e8926, 0xe1cb0fc25f46ea3d }
```
Request:
```c
struct limine_stack_size_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_stack_size_response *response;
uint64_t stack_size;
};
```
* `stack_size` - The requested stack size (also used for SMP processors).
Response:
```c
struct limine_stack_size_response {
uint64_t revision;
};
```
### HHDM (Higher Half Direct Map) Feature
ID:
```c
#define LIMINE_HHDM_REQUEST { LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC, 0x48dcf1cb8ad2b852, 0x63984e959a98244b }
```
Request:
```c
struct limine_hhdm_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_hhdm_response *response;
};
```
Response:
```c
struct limine_hhdm_response {
uint64_t revision;
uint64_t offset;
};
```
* `offset` - the virtual address offset of the beginning of the higher half
direct map.
### Terminal Feature
ID:
```c
#define LIMINE_TERMINAL_REQUEST { LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC, 0xc8ac59310c2b0844, 0xa68d0c7265d38878 }
```
Request:
```c
typedef void (*limine_terminal_callback)(struct limine_terminal *, uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t);
struct limine_terminal_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_terminal_response *response;
limine_terminal_callback callback;
};
```
* `callback` - Pointer to the callback function.
Response:
```c
typedef void (*limine_terminal_write)(struct limine_terminal *terminal, const char *string, uint64_t length);
struct limine_terminal_response {
uint64_t revision;
uint64_t terminal_count;
struct limine_terminal **terminals;
limine_terminal_write write;
};
```
* `terminal_count` - How many terminals are present.
* `terminals` - Pointer to an array of `terminal_count` pointers to
`struct limine_terminal` structures.
* `write` - Physical pointer to the terminal write() function.
The function is not thread-safe, nor reentrant, per-terminal.
This means multiple terminals may be called simultaneously, and multiple
callbacks may be handled simultaneously.
The `terminal` parameter points to the `struct limine_terminal` structure to
use to output the string; the `string` parameter points to a
string to print; the `length` paremeter contains the length, in bytes, of the
string to print.
```c
struct limine_terminal {
uint64_t columns;
uint64_t rows;
struct limine_framebuffer *framebuffer;
};
```
* `columns` and `rows` - Columns and rows provided by the terminal.
* `framebuffer` - The framebuffer associated with this terminal.
Note: Omitting this request will cause the bootloader to not initialise
the terminal service.
#### Terminal callback
The callback is a function that is part of the kernel, which is called by the
terminal during a `write()` call whenever an event or escape sequence cannot
be handled by the bootloader's terminal alone, and the kernel may want to be
notified in order to handle it itself.
Returning from the callback will resume the `write()` call which will return
to its caller normally.
Not returning from a callback may leave the terminal in an undefined state
and cause issues.
The callback function has the following prototype:
```c
void callback(struct limine_terminal *terminal, uint64_t type, uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t);
```
The `terminal` argument is a pointer to the Limine terminal structure which
represents the terminal that caused the callback.
The purpose of the last 3 arguments changes depending on the `type` argument.
The callback types are as follows:
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_DEC` - (type value: `10`)
This callback is triggered whenever a DEC Private Mode (DECSET/DECRST)
sequence is encountered that the terminal cannot handle alone. The arguments
to this callback are: `terminal`, `type`, `values_count`, `values`, `final`.
`values_count` is a count of how many values are in the array pointed to by
`values`. `values` is a pointer to an array of `uint32_t` values, which are
the values passed to the DEC private escape.
`final` is the final character in the DEC private escape sequence (typically
`l` or `h`).
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_BELL` - (type value: `20`)
This callback is triggered whenever a bell event is determined to be
necessary (such as when a bell character `\a` is encountered). The arguments
to this callback are: `terminal`, `type`, `unused1`, `unused2`, `unused3`.
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_PRIVATE_ID` - (type value: `30`)
This callback is triggered whenever the kernel has to respond to a DEC
private identification request. The arguments to this callback are:
`terminal`, `type`, `unused1`, `unused2`, `unused3`.
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_STATUS_REPORT` - (type value `40`)
This callback is triggered whenever the kernel has to respond to a ECMA-48
status report request. The arguments to this callback are: `terminal`,
`type`, `unused1`, `unused2`, `unused3`.
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_POS_REPORT` - (type value `50`)
This callback is triggered whenever the kernel has to respond to a ECMA-48
cursor position report request. The arguments to this callback are:
`terminal`, `type`, `x`, `y`, `unused3`. Where `x` and `y` represent the
cursor position at the time the callback is triggered.
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_KBD_LEDS` - (type value `60`)
This callback is triggered whenever the kernel has to respond to a keyboard
LED state change request. The arguments to this callback are: `terminal`,
`type`, `led_state`, `unused2`, `unused3`. `led_state` can have one of the
following values: `0, 1, 2, or 3`. These values mean: clear all LEDs, set
scroll lock, set num lock, and set caps lock LED, respectively.
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_MODE` - (type value: `70`)
This callback is triggered whenever an ECMA-48 Mode Switch sequence
is encountered that the terminal cannot handle alone. The arguments to this
callback are: `terminal`, `type`, `values_count`, `values`, `final`.
`values_count` is a count of how many values are in the array pointed to by
`values`. `values` is a pointer to an array of `uint32_t` values, which are
the values passed to the mode switch escape.
`final` is the final character in the mode switch escape sequence (typically
`l` or `h`).
* `LIMINE_TERMINAL_CB_LINUX` - (type value `80`)
This callback is triggered whenever a private Linux escape sequence
is encountered that the terminal cannot handle alone. The arguments to this
callback are: `terminal`, `type`, `values_count`, `values`, `unused3`.
`values_count` is a count of how many values are in the array pointed to by
`values`. `values` is a pointer to an array of `uint32_t` values, which are
the values passed to the Linux private escape.
#### Terminal context control
The `write()` function can additionally be used to set and restore terminal
context, and refresh the terminal fully.
In order to achieve this, special values for the `length` argument are
passed. These values are:
```c
#define LIMINE_TERMINAL_CTX_SIZE ((uint64_t)(-1))
#define LIMINE_TERMINAL_CTX_SAVE ((uint64_t)(-2))
#define LIMINE_TERMINAL_CTX_RESTORE ((uint64_t)(-3))
#define LIMINE_TERMINAL_FULL_REFRESH ((uint64_t)(-4))
```
For `CTX_SIZE`, the `ptr` variable has to point to a location to which the
terminal will *write* a single `uint64_t` which contains the size of the
terminal context.
For `CTX_SAVE` and `CTX_RESTORE`, the `ptr` variable has to point to a
location to which the terminal will *save* or *restore* its context from,
respectively.
This location must have a size congruent to the value received from
`CTX_SIZE`.
For `FULL_REFRESH`, the `ptr` variable is unused. This routine is to be used
after control of the framebuffer is taken over and the bootloader's terminal
has to *fully* repaint the framebuffer to avoid inconsistencies.
#### x86_64
Additionally, the kernel must ensure, when calling `write()`, that:
* Either the GDT provided by the bootloader is still properly loaded, or a
custom GDT is loaded with at least the following descriptors in this specific
order:
- Null descriptor
- 16-bit code descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffff`. Readable.
- 16-bit data descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffff`. Writable.
- 32-bit code descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffffffff`. Readable.
- 32-bit data descriptor. Base = `0`, limit = `0xffffffff`. Writable.
- 64-bit code descriptor. Base and limit irrelevant. Readable.
- 64-bit data descriptor. Base and limit irrelevant. Writable.
* The currently loaded virtual address space is still the one provided at
entry by the bootloader, or a custom virtual address space is loaded which
identity maps the framebuffer memory region associated with the terminal, and
all the bootloader reclaimable memory regions, with read, write, and execute
permissions.
* The routine is called *by its physical address* (the value of the function
pointer is already physical), which should be identity mapped.
* Bootloader-reclaimable memory entries are left untouched until after the
kernel is done utilising bootloader-provided facilities (this terminal being
one of them).
Notes regarding segment registers and FPU:
The values of the FS and GS segments are guaranteed preserved across the
call. All other segment registers may have their "hidden" portion
overwritten, but Limine guarantees that the "visible" portion is going to
be restored to the one used at the time of call before returning.
No registers other than the segment registers and general purpose registers
are going to be used. Especially, this means that there is no need to save
and restore FPU, SSE, or AVX state when calling the terminal write function.
#### Terminal characteristics
The terminal should strive for Linux console compatibility.
### Framebuffer Feature
ID:
```c
#define LIMINE_FRAMEBUFFER_REQUEST { LIMINE_COMMON_MAGIC, 0x9d5827dcd881dd75, 0xa3148604f6fab11b }
```
Request:
```c
struct limine_framebuffer_request {
uint64_t id[4];
uint64_t revision;
struct limine_framebuffer_response *response;
};
```
Response:

};
```
* `framebuffer_count` - How many framebuffers are present.
* `framebuffers` - Pointer to an array of `framebuffer_count` pointers to
`struct limine_framebuffer` structures.

struct limine_framebuffer {
void *address;
uint64_t width;
uint64_t height;
uint64_t pitch;

struct limine_5_level_paging_response *response;
};
```
Response:
```c
struct limine_5_level_paging_response {
uint64_t revision;
};
```
Notes: The presence of this request will prompt the bootloader to turn on
x86_64 5-level paging. It will not be turned on if this request is not present.
If the response pointer is changed to a valid pointer, 5-level paging is engaged.
### SMP (multiprocessor) Feature
ID:

Response:
```c
struct limine_smp_response {
uint64_t revision;
uint32_t flags;
uint32_t bsp_lapic_id;
uint64_t cpu_count;
struct limine_smp_info **cpus;
};
```
* `flags` - Bit 0: X2APIC has been enabled.

Notes: The presence of this request will prompt the bootloader to bootstrap
the secondary processors. This will not be done if this request is not present.
```c
struct limine_smp_info;
typedef void (*limine_goto_address)(struct limine_smp_info *);
struct limine_smp_info {
uint32_t processor_id;
uint32_t lapic_id;
uint64_t reserved;
limine_goto_address goto_address;
uint64_t extra_argument;
};
```
* `processor_id` - ACPI Processor UID as specified by the MADT
* `lapic_id` - Local APIC ID of the processor as specified by the MADT
* `goto_address` - An atomic write to this field causes the parked CPU to
jump to the written address, on a 64KiB (or Stack Size Request size) stack. A pointer to the
`struct limine_smp_info` structure of the CPU is passed in `RDI`. Other than
that, the CPU state will be the same as described for the bootstrap
processor. This field is unused for the structure describing the bootstrap
processor.
* `extra_argument` - A free for use field.
### Memory Map Feature

};
```
Note: The kernel and modules loaded are not marked as usable memory.
They are marked as Kernel/Modules. The entries are guaranteed to be sorted by
base address, lowest to highest. Usable and bootloader reclaimable entries
are guaranteed to be 4096 byte aligned for both base and length. Usable and
bootloader reclaimable entries are guaranteed not to overlap with any other
entry. To the contrary, all non-usable entries (including kernel/modules) are
not guaranteed any alignment, nor is it guaranteed that they do not overlap
other entries.
