Processes can now wait on signals/children/time. There is no clock
currently so "time" is just a monotonically increating tick count. Added
a SLEEP syscall to test this waiting/waking.
The syscall/sysret instructions don't swap stacks. This was bad but
passable until syscalls caused the scheduler to run, and scheduling a
task that paused due to interrupt.
Adding a new (hopefully temporary) syscall interrupt `int 0xee` to allow
me to test syscalls without stack issues before I tackle the
syscall/sysret issue.
Also implemented a basic `pause` syscall that causes the calling process
to become unready. Because nothing can wake a process yet, it never
returns.
- Scheduler now has multiple linked_lists of processes at different
priorities
- Process structure improvements
- scheduler::tick() and scheduler::schedule() separation
Now any initrd file is treated like a program image and passed to the
loader to load as a process. Very rudimentary elf loading just allocates
pages, copies sections, and sets the ELF's entrypoint as the RIP to
iretq to.
The scheduler's create_process now sets up the stack to iretq into a
load_process function, which will load the process image into memory
from within the process' own virtual memory space. Currently this
loading is just copying the old 'taskA' function from kernel space.
More work on process page tables, including only mapping the last 2 pml4
entries (the highest 1TiB of the address space, ie, kernel space) into a
new table.
Includes the work of actually moving the kernel there, which I had
apparently done in name only previously. Oops.
* It looks like UEFI enables SSE, so we need to tell clang -mno-sse for
now to not use XMM* until we're ready to save them.
* SYSCALL is working from ring3 tasks, calling console printf!
