2024-07-08fix LLVMKimplul
+ Anything extern is right out as LLVM doesn't produce correct code for them. Maybe if I added some extra attributes but I'm skeptical. Replaced with static variables and getters/setters. + Inline ASM is apparently a bit buggy, so use an assembly stub when jumping to init. + Minimize work done in main() to minimize chance of LLVM doing something silly. Still not 100% certain that I shouldn't just write the main() as an assembly stub in arch/riscv64 to be absolutely sure everything works as intended. + Make .kernel.start section SHF_ALLOC, otherwise lld complains about pc-relative addressing Probably some other stuff as well that I'm forgetting right now. But at least with LLVM14 LTO seems to work, which is pretty cool?
2024-07-07simplify assertionsKimplul
+ No real point having multiple different levels of assertions, just say you assert something and be done with it
2024-07-07smp now seems to workKimplul
+ Had some minor issues with a wraparound of size_t that effectively meant that some regions were allocated twice. Also, booting should be a bit more reliable now, turned out that the previous iteration of the booting was just accidentally working due to the kernel being placed 'close enough' in RAM to where it was linked to. Fixed by allocating a vmem of O1 that maps the kernel to a 2MiB boundary at boot, pretty nifty.
2024-07-06core bringup + various warningsKimplul
+ dbg_fdt() is apparently broken, possibly due to UB or something, but it causes some issues with optimizations enabled. Remove it temporarily
2024-07-06add RAM usage countingKimplul
+ Slightly more overhead but will help track down possible memory leaks in the future. Could also add in a flag for turning off/on but I don't think the difference in performance is that significant.
2024-07-06pretty massive virtual memory rewriteKimplul
+ The system is now a bit simpler and hopefully easier to understand, while also extending the shared memory to be 1:N, where there is one owner who may become a zombie while waiting for the N to die.
2024-07-05formatting and documentationKimplul
2024-07-05allow booting with Qemu's -kernel flag directlyKimplul
+ Took some fairly significant changes, for one the kernel is no longer relocated at the start of a boot, instead it sits wherever the user decides the kernel should sit. Similarly, the initial kernel stack and page table are stored within the binary, slightly bloating the size but making it much safer to boot since there's really no chance of us overwriting the fdt or initrd in memory.
2024-05-24rename common to srcKimplul
+ I keep starting to type src and wondering why autocomplete won't work, I guess src is just uncounciously a better name
