* When using the non-allocating version of `get_uefi_mappings` the
length was not getting set. Reworked this function.
* Having `build_kernel_mem_map` from `bootloader_main_uefi` caused it to
get an out of date map key. Moved this function into `efi_main` right
before exiting boot services.
Searching for `hlt` in disassembly is an easy way to find the error
handler. This change centralizes it to just one, to better match
disassembly with code.
The page table code had been copied mostly verbatim from the kernel, and
was a dense mess. I abstraced the `page_table_indices` class and the old
loop behavior of `map_in` into a new `page_entry_iterator` class, making
both `map_pages` and the initial offset mapping code much cleaner.

Set up initial page tables for both the offset-mapped area and the
loaded kernel code and data.
* Got rid of the `loaded_elf` struct - the loader now runs after the
initial PML4 is created and maps the ELF sections itself.
* Copied in the `page_table` and `page_table_indices` from the kernel,
still need to clean this up and extract it into shared code.
* Added `page_table_cache` to the kernel args to pass along free pages
that can be used for initial page tables.

Clang needs memset, memcpy, etc to exist even in freestanding situations
because it will emit calls to those functions. This commit adds a simple
weak-linked memset implementation.
The `build_kernel_mem_map` function now calls `get_uefi_mappings`
itself, instead of having the efi map passed in. `get_uefi_mappings`
also now takes a `bool allocate` to direct it to actually allocate
the map or not. If it doesn't, it instead just returns the size of
the map and the metadata - which `build_kernel_mem_map` uses to decide
how much space to first allocate for the kernel's map.
Adding this now because I'm sure I'll forget later. Make sure to
annotate the entrypoint function pointer as `__attribute__((sysv_abi))`
so that it's not called via ms abi like the rest of the loader.
Exiting boot services can't actually be done from inside
`bootloader_uefi_main`, because there are objects in that scope that run
code requiring boot services in their destructors.
Also added `support.cpp` with `memcpy` because clang will emit
references to `memcpy` even in freestanding mode.
Added a `debug_break` function to allow for faking breakpoints when
connecting to the bootloader with GDB.

The `get_mappings()` function was getting too large, and some of its
output is needed by more than just the building of the kernel map. Split
it out into two.
Tags: boot memory
- The old kernel_args structure is now mostly represented as a series of
'modules' or memory ranges, tagged with a type. An arbitrary number
can be passed to the kernel
- Update bootloader to allocate space for the args header and 10 module
descriptors
* Link host-targeted binaries with lld
* Add peru script for getting prebuilt sysroot
* Add readme for prebuilt sysroots
* Remove non-working build_sysroot_gcc.sh, rename clang version to just
build_sysroot.sh
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.
This commit makes several fundamental changes to memory handling:
- the frame allocator is now only an allocator for free frames, and does
not track used frames.
- the frame allocator now stores its free list inside the free frames
themselves, as a hybrid stack/span model.
- This has the implication that all frames must currently fit within
the offset area.
- kutil has a new allocator interface, which is the only allowed way for
any code outside of src/kernel to allocate. Code under src/kernel
_may_ use new/delete, but should prefer the allocator interface.
- the heap manager has become heap_allocator, which is merely an
implementation of kutil::allocator which doles out sections of a given
address range.
- the heap manager now only writes block headers when necessary,
avoiding page faults until they're actually needed
- page_manager now has a page fault handler, which checks with the
address_manager to see if the address is known, and provides a frame
mapping if it is, allowing heap manager to work with its entire
address size from the start. (Currently 32GiB.)
