This is a rather large commit that is widely focused on cleaning things
out of the 'junk drawer' that is src/include. Most notably, several
things that were put in there because they needed somewhere where both
the kernel, boot, and init could read them have been moved to a new lib,
'bootproto'.
- Moved kernel_args.h and init_args.h to bootproto as kernel.h and
init.h, respectively.
- Moved counted.h and pointer_manipulation.h into util, renaming the
latter to util/pointers.h.
- Created a new src/include/arch for very arch-dependent definitions,
and moved some kernel_memory.h constants like frame size, page table
entry count, etc to arch/amd64/memory.h. Also created arch/memory.h
which detects platform and includes the former.
- Got rid of kernel_memory.h entirely in favor of a new, cog-based
approach. The new definitions/memory_layout.csv lists memory regions
in descending order from the top of memory, their sizes, and whether
they are shared outside the kernel (ie, boot needs to know them). The
new header bootproto/memory.h exposes the addresses of the shared
regions, while the kernel's memory.h gains the start and size of all
the regions. Also renamed the badly-named page-offset area the linear
area.
- The python build scripts got a few new features: the ability to parse
the csv mentioned above in a new memory.py module; the ability to add
dependencies to existing source files (The list of files that I had to
pull out of the main list just to add them with the dependency on
memory.h was getting too large. So I put them back into the sources
list, and added the dependency post-hoc.); and the ability to
reference 'source_root', 'build_root', and 'module_root' variables in
.module files.
- Some utility functions that were in the kernel's memory.h got moved to
util/pointers.h and util/misc.h, and misc.h's byteswap was renamed
byteswap32 to be more specific.
Now that kutil has no kernel-specific code in it anymore, it can
actually be linked to by anything, so I'm renaming it 'util'.
Also, I've tried to unify the way that the system libraries from
src/libraries are #included using <> instead of "".
Other small change: util::bip_buffer got a spinlock to guard against
state corruption.
Continuing moving things out of kutil. The assert as implemented could
only ever work in the kernel, so remaining kutil uses of kassert have
been moved to including standard C assert instead.
Along the way, kassert was broken out into panic::panic and kassert,
and the panic.serial namespace was renamed panicking.
The moving of kernel-only code out of kutil continues. (See 042f061)
This commit moves the following:
- The heap allocator code
- memory.cpp/h which means:
- letting string.h be the right header for memset and memcpy, still
including an implementation of it for the kernel though, since
we're not linking libc to the kernel
- Changing calls to kalloc/kfree to new/delete in kutil containers
that aren't going to be merged into the kernel
- Fixing a problem with stdalign.h from libc, which was causing issues
for type_traits.
