There's no need to have separate syscall for this kind of functionality,
as we can just have a device node in /dev, called "beep", that allows
writing tone generation packets to emulate the same behavior.
In addition to that, we remove LibC sysbeep function, as this function
was never being used by any C program nor it was standardized in any
way.
Instead, we move the userspace implementation to LibCore.
Moving the DeviceManagement initialization, which is only needed by
userland in the first place, to after interrupt and time management
initialization (like other things that require randomness) allows the
SipHash initialization to access good randomness without problems.
Note: There currently is another, unrelated boot problem on aarch64,
which is not caused by SipHash as far as we know. This commit therefore
only fixes the SipHash regression.
According to multiboot spec if flag for framebuffer isn't
set then corresponding fields are invalid. In reality they're set
to 0 but let's be defensive.
About half of the Processor code is common across architectures, so
let's share it with a templated base class. Also, other code that can be
shared in some ways, like FPUState and TrapFrame functions, is adjusted
here. Functions which cannot be shared trivially (without internal
refactoring) are left alone for now.
This subtraction is necessary to ensure that the section has the correct
address. Also, without this change, the Kernel ELF binary would explode
in size. This was forgotten in a0dd6ec6b1.
At any one given time, there can be an abitrary number of USB drivers in
the system. The way driver mapping works (i.e, a device is inserted, and
a potentially matching driver is probed) requires us to have
instantiated driver objects _before_ a device is inserted. This leaves
us with a slight "chicken and egg" problem. We cannot call the probe
function before the driver is initialised, but we need to know _what_
driver to initialise.
This section is designed to store pointers to functions that are called
during the last stage of the early `_init` sequence in the Kernel. The
accompanying macro in `USBDriver` emits a symbol, based on the driver
name, into this table that is then automatically called.
This way, we enforce a "common" driver model; driver developers are not
only required to write their driver and inherit from `USB::Driver`, but
are also required to have a free floating init function that registers
their driver with the USB Core.
The VirtIO specification defines many types of devices with different
purposes, and it also defines 3 possible transport mediums where devices
could be connected to the host machine.
We only care about the PCIe transport, but this commit puts the actual
foundations for supporting the lean MMIO transport too in the future.
To ensure things are kept abstracted but still functional, the VirtIO
transport code is responsible for what is deemed as related to an actual
transport type - allocation of interrupt handlers and tinkering with low
level transport-related registers, etc.
Instead, use the FixedCharBuffer class to ensure we always use a static
buffer storage for these names. This ensures that if a Process or a
Thread were created, there's a guarantee that setting a new name will
never fail, as only copying of strings should be done to that static
storage.
The limits which are set are 32 characters for processes' names and 64
characters for thread names - this is because threads' names could be
more verbose than processes' names.
This resolves the various "implicit truncation from int to a one-bit
wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1" warnings produced by Clang
16+ when assigning to single-bit bitfields.
Instead of using ifdefs to use the correct platform-specific methods, we
can just use the same pattern we use for the microseconds_delay function
which has specific implementations for each Arch CPU subdirectory.
When linking a kernel image, the actual correct and platform-specific
power-state changing methods will be called in Firmware/PowerState.cpp
file.
Once LibC is installed to the sysroot and its conflicts with libc++
are resolved, including LibC headers in such a way will cause errors
with a modern LLVM-based toolchain.
To ensure actual PS2 code is not tied to the i8042 code, we make them
separated in the following ways:
- PS2KeyboardDevice and PS2MouseDevice classes are no longer inheriting
from the IRQHandler class. Instead we have specific IRQHandler derived
class for the i8042 controller implementation, which is used to ensure
that we don't end up mixing PS2 code with low-level interrupt handling
functionality. In the future this means that we could add a driver for
other PS2 controllers that might have only one interrupt handler but
multiple PS2 devices are attached, therefore, making it easier to put
the right propagation flow from the controller driver all the way to
the HID core code.
- A simple abstraction layer is added between the PS2 command set which
devices could use and the actual implementation low-level commands.
This means that the code in PS2MouseDevice and PS2KeyboardDevice
classes is no longer tied to i8042 implementation-specific commands,
so now these objects could send PS2 commands to their PS2 controller
and get a PS2Response which abstracts the given response too.
The HIDController class is removed and instead adding SerialIOController
class. The HIDController class was a mistake - there's no such thing in
real hardware as host controller only for human interface devices
(VirtIO PCI input controller being the exception here, but it could be
technically treated as serial IO controller too).
Instead, we simply add a new abstraction layer - the SerialIO "bus",
which will hold all the code that is related to serial communications
with other devices. A PS2 controller is simply a serial IO controller,
and the Intel 8042 Controller is simply a specific implementation of a
PS2 controller.
All code that is related to PC BIOS should not be in the Kernel/Firmware
directory as this directory is for abstracted and platform-agnostic code
like ACPI (and device tree parsing in the future).
This fixes a problem with the aarch64 architecure, as these machines
don't have any PC-BIOS in them so actually trying to access these memory
locations (EBDA, BIOS ROM) does not make any sense, as they're specific
to x86 machines only.
This code is very x86-specific, because Intel introduced the actual
MultiProcessor specification back in 1993, qouted here as a proof:
"The MP specification covers PC/AT-compatible MP platform designs based
on Intel processor architectures and Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller (APIC) architectures"
Most of the ACPI static parsing methods (methods that can be called
without initializing a full AML parser) are not tied to any specific
platform or CPU architecture.
The only method that is platform-specific is the one that finds the RSDP
structure. Thus, each CPU architecture/platform needs to implement it.
This means that now aarch64 can implement its own method to find the
ACPI RSDP structure, which would be hooked into the rest of the ACPI
code elegantly, but for now I just added a FIXME and that method returns
empty value of Optional<PhysicalAddress>.
Instead of having a single available memory range that encompasses the
whole 0x00000000-0x3EFFFFFF range of physical memory, create a separate
reserved entry for the RAM range used by the VideoCore. This fixes a
crash that happens when we try to allocate physical pages in the GPU's
reserved range.
This will eventually be replaced with parsing the data from the device
tree, but for now, this should solve some of the recurring CI failures.
Like the HID, Audio and Storage subsystem, the Graphics subsystem (which
handles GPUs technically) exposes unix device files (typically in /dev).
To ensure consistency across the repository, move all related files to a
new directory under Kernel/Devices called "GPU".
Also remove the redundant "GPU" word from the VirtIO driver directory,
and the word "Graphics" from GraphicsManagement.{h,cpp} filenames.
This has KString, KBuffer, DoubleBuffer, KBufferBuilder, IOWindow,
UserOrKernelBuffer and ScopedCritical classes being moved to the
Kernel/Library subdirectory.
Also, move the panic and assertions handling code to that directory.
The Storage subsystem, like the Audio and HID subsystems, exposes Unix
device files (for example, in the /dev directory). To ensure consistency
across the repository, we should make the Storage subsystem to reside in
the Kernel/Devices directory like the two other mentioned subsystems.
This is enforced by the hardware and an exception is generated when the
stack pointer is not properly aligned. This brings us closer to booting
the aarch64 Kernel on baremetal.
This is the only kernel issue blocking us from running the test suite.
Having userspace backtraces printed to the debug console during crashes
isn't vital to the system's function, so let's just return an empty
trace and print a FIXME instead of crashing.
"Wherever applicable" = most places, actually :^), especially for
networking and filesystem timestamps.
This includes changes to unzip, which uses DOSPackedTime, since that is
changed for the FAT file systems.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
