The Lock class still permits no reason, but for everything else
require a reason to be passed to Thread::wait_on. This makes it
easier to diagnose why a Thread is in Queued state.
Random now gets entropy from the following drivers:
- KeyboardDevice
- PATAChannel
- PS2MouseDevice
- E1000NetworkAdapter
- RTL8139NetworkAdapter
Of these devices, PS2MouseDevice and PATAChannel provide the vast
majority of the entropy.
This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
Since a Region is basically a view into a potentially larger VMObject,
it was always necessary to include the Region starting offset when
accessing its underlying physical pages.
Until now, you had to do that manually, but this patch adds a simple
Region::physical_page() for read-only access and a physical_page_slot()
when you want a mutable reference to the RefPtr<PhysicalPage> itself.
A lot of code is simplified by making use of this.
This commit is one step forward for pluggable driver modules.
Instead of creating instances of network adapter classes, we let
their detect() methods to figure out if there are existing devices
to initialize.
The PCI access layer was composed of a bunch of virtual functions that
did nothing but call other virtual functions. The first layer was never
overridden so there was no need for them to be virtual.
This patch removes the indirection and moves logic from PCI::Access
down into the various PCI::get_foo() helpers that were the sole users.
This is not a complete fix, since spurious IRQs under heavy loads can
still occur. However, this fix limits the amount of spurious IRQs.
It is encouraged to provide a better fix in the future, probably
something that takes into account handling of PCI level-triggered
interrupts.
The idea behind WeakPtr<NetworkAdapter> was to support hot-pluggable
network adapters, but on closer thought, that's super impractical so
let's not go down that road.
System components that need an IRQ handling are now inheriting the
InterruptHandler class.
In addition to that, the initialization process of PATAChannel was
changed to fit the changes.
PATAChannel, E1000NetworkAdapter and RTL8139NetworkAdapter are now
inheriting from PCI::Device instead of InterruptHandler directly.
uintptr_t is 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target platform.
This will help us write pointer size agnostic code so that when the day
comes that we want to do a 64-bit port, we'll be in better shape.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
The kernel and its static data structures are no longer identity-mapped
in the bottom 8MB of the address space, but instead move above 3GB.
The first 8MB above 3GB are pseudo-identity-mapped to the bottom 8MB of
the physical address space. But things don't have to stay this way!
Thanks to Jesse who made an earlier attempt at this, it was really easy
to get device drivers working once the page tables were in place! :^)
Fixes#734.
The new PCI subsystem is initialized during runtime.
PCI::Initializer is supposed to be called during early boot, to
perform a few tests, and initialize the proper configuration space
access mechanism. Kernel boot parameters can be specified by a user to
determine what tests will occur, to aid debugging on problematic
machines.
After that, PCI::Initializer should be dismissed.
PCI::IOAccess is a class that is derived from PCI::Access
class and implements PCI configuration space access mechanism via x86
IO ports.
PCI::MMIOAccess is a class that is derived from PCI::Access
and implements PCI configurtaion space access mechanism via memory
access.
The new PCI subsystem also supports determination of IO/MMIO space
needed by a device by checking a given BAR.
In addition, Every device or component that use the PCI subsystem has
changed to match the last changes.
