Make build_symbol_table.py output statistics on the symbol table it
builds, and emit warnings for zero-length symbols. Also added lengths to
several functions defined in asm that this uncovered.
Created the framework for using different loadable panic handlers,
loaded by the bootloader. Initial panic handler is panic.serial, which
contains its own serial driver and stacktrace code.
Other related changes:
- Asserts are now based on the NMI handler - panic handlers get
installed as the NMI interrupt handler
- Changed symbol table generation: now use nm's own demangling and
sorting, and include symbol size in the table
- Move the linker script argument out of the kernel target, and into the
kernel's specific module, so that other programs (ie, panic handlers)
can use the kernel target as well
- Some asm changes to boot.s to help GDB see stack frames - but this
might not actually be all that useful
- Renamed user_rsp to just rsp in cpu_state - everything in there is
describing the 'user' state
On my laptop, a few symbol names raise errors as invalid when attempting
to demangle them. This should not stop the rest of the symbol table from
building.
Create a script that builds a simple-to-read symbol table from the
output of `nm`. Include running that script over the kernel in the
build, and including that output in the initrd.
