In order to avoid cyclic dependencies in the case of page faults while
bringing up an AP, pre-allocate the cpu_data structure and related CPU
control structures, and pass them to the AP startup code.
This also changes the following:
- cpu_early_init() was split out of cpu_early_init() to allow early
usage of current_cpu() on the BSP before we're ready for the rest of
cpu_init(). (These functions were also renamed to follow the preferred
area_action naming style.)
- isr_handler now zeroes out the IST entry for its vector instead of
trying to increment the IST stack pointer
- the IST stacks are allocated outside of cpu_init, to also help reduce
stack pressue and chance of page faults before APs are ready
- share stack areas between AP idle threads so we only waste 1K per
additional AP for the unused idle stack
Since SYSCALL/SYSRET rely on MSRs to control their function, split out
syscall_enable() into syscall_initialize() and syscall_enable(), the
latter being called on all CPUs. This affects not just syscalls but also
the kernel_to_user_trampoline.
Additionally, do away with the max syscalls, and just make a single page
of syscall pointers and name pointers. Max syscalls was fragile and
needed to be kept in sync in multiple places.
This very large commit is mainly focused on getting the APs started and
to a state where they're waiting to have work scheduled. (Actually
scheduling on them is for another commit.)
To do this, a bunch of major changes were needed:
- Moving a lot of the CPU initialization (including for the BSP) to
init_cpu(). This includes setting up IST stacks, writing MSRs, and
creating the cpu_data structure. For the APs, this also creates and
installs the GDT and TSS, and installs the global IDT.
- Creating the AP startup code, which tries to be as position
independent as possible. It's copied from its location to 0x8000 for
AP startup, and some of it is fixed at that address. The AP startup
code jumps from real mode to long mode with paging in one swell foop.
- Adding limited IPI capability to the lapic class. This will need to
improve.
- Renaming cpu/cpu.* to cpu/cpu_id.* because it was just annoying in GDB
and really isn't anything but cpu_id anymore.
- Moved all the GDT, TSS, and IDT code into their own files and made
them classes instead of a mess of free functions.
- Got rid of bsp_cpu_data everywhere. Now always call the new
current_cpu() to get the current CPU's cpu_data.
- Device manager keeps a list of APIC ids now. This should go somewhere
else eventually, device_manager needs to be refactored away.
- Moved some more things (notably the g_kernel_stacks vma) to the
pre-constructor setup in memory_bootstrap. That whole file is in bad
need of a refactor.
In order to allow the bootloader to do preliminary CPUID validation
while UEFI is still handling displaying information to the user, split
most of the kernel's CPUID handling into a library to be used by both
kernel and boot.
Reformat the cpu_features.inc file and add the `in_hv` feature that is
supposedly set by hypervisors when running in emulation. QEMU does not
set it.

Introduces the cpu_features.inc table to enumerate the CPU features that
j6 cares about. Features in this table marked CPU_FEATURE_REQ are
considered required, and the boot process will log an error and halt
when any of these features are not supported. This should save me from
banging my head against the wall like I did last night with the missing
pdpe1gb feature.
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.
