Design / WIP notes

TODO

  • Better page-allocation model

  • Allow for more than one IOAPIC in ACPI module

    • The objects get created, but GSI lookup only uses the one at index 0
  • mark kernel memory pages global

  • Serial out based on circular/bip biffer and interrupts, not spinning on write_ready()

  • Split out more code into kutil for testing

  • AHCI / MSI interrupts on Vbox break?

  • FXSAVE to save XMM registers.

    • optimization using #NM (0x7) to detect SSE usage
  • Clean up of process memory maps

  • Better stack tracer

  • Bootloader rewrite

    • C++ and sharing library code for ELF, initrd, etc
    • Parse initrd and pre-load certain ELF images, eg the process loader process?
    • Do initial memory bootstrap?
  • Calling global ctors

  • Device Tree

    • Actual serial driver
    • Disk driver
      • File system
  • Multiprocessing

    • Syscalls
