Until now the kernel was always executing with SP_EL0, as this made the
initial dropping to EL1 a bit easier. This commit changes this behaviour
to use the corresponding SP_ELx for each exception level.
To make sure that the execution of the C++ code can continue, the
current stack pointer is copied into the corresponding SP_ELx just
before dropping an exception level.
There’s similar RDRAND register (encoded as ‘s3_3_c2_c4_0ʼ) to be
added if needed. RNG CPU feature on Aarch64 guarantees existence of both
RDSEED and RDRAND registers simultaneously—in contrast to x86-64, where
respective instructions are independent of each other.
This is a separate file that behaves similar to the Prekernel for
x86_64, and makes sure the CPU is dropped to EL1, the MMU is enabled,
and makes sure the CPU is running in high virtual memory. This code then
jumps to the usual init function of the kernel.
And use it the code that will be part of the early boot process.
The PANIC macro and dbgln functions cannot be used as it accesses global
variables, which in the early boot process do not work, since the MMU is
not yet enabled.
This requires two new functions, context_first_init and
restore_context_and_eret. With this code in place, we are now running
the first idle thread! :^)
This changes the stack pointer to the initial_thread stack pointer, and
pushes two pointers onto the stack that point to the initial_thread. The
function then jumps to the ip of the initial_thread, which will be
thread_context_first_enter, and hangs there because that function is not
yet implemented.
This does not handle everything correctly yet, such as setting the
correct state for running userspace applications, however this should be
enough to get kernel scheduling to work.
Instead of storing the current Processor into a core local register, we
currently just store it into a global, since we don't support SMP for
aarch64 anyway. This simplifies the initial implementation.
