* Simplify the entry address computationMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-241-6/+18
| | | | | | | We actually don't need to preserve the initially computed base address for each binary, but we can just preserve the final entry address. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Simplify scheduling by introducing an init processMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-241-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scheduling is easier if there is an init process which does nothing. This way we don't have to perform hacks in order to idle in S privilege mode while touching special registers in weird ways. For now this process is kind of costly since 'wfi' is not accepted in this context, but this can be further tuned down in the future by setting TW=1 on 'mstatus', or by handling the exception and allowing it if it comes from the proper process. All of that being said, there is still work to be done as things fail when optimitzations are on. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Enable exception handling from user modeMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-223-0/+16
| | | | | | | | This allows us to actually catch system calls and start to run user space programs. That being said, the whole thing is still pretty brittle, and the scheduler is not quite there yet. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Fix initrd parsing because of a path changeMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | In commit 573a8c6b490a ("usr: Rename foo/bar to fizz/buzz") the path of the user-space binaries have changed. The `initrd` parsing code makes some decisions based on that naming, and so it needed to be updated as well. Fixes: 573a8c6b490a ("usr: Rename foo/bar to fizz/buzz") Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Enable the timer from the SBI interfaceMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-223-0/+18
| | | | | | | | A basic interrupt handler has been implemented which tracks the seconds that have been elapsing along the way. Depending on the value of these seconds, then a task has to be called. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Add basic parsing for underlying ELF executablesMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-223-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The given initrd is a CPIO archive of multiple ELF executables. We are already able to parse the CPIO archive to detect where each file is located, this commit adds the mapping for each ELF executable to the corresponding task_struct. Note that this is still heavily under construction, since we cannot simply jump into the entry point of an executable as we have not yet setup the proper layout from performing context switches.

* Initial parsing of the provided initrd fileMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-213-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | We expect a CPIO archive with the 'newc' format for the initrd. Parse this archive from the given initrd address and fetch the address for each ELF executable while also pairing which task correspond to which ELF. This commit leaves to do the actual parsing of the ELF file for each task, while also leaving some string utilities to be refined. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Fetch the initrd address from the DTB blobMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-205-3/+38
| | | | | | | | | | The kernel entry has a pointer to the DTB blob as a parameter. From this pointer we can parse the the DTB blob to find the properties "chosen->linux,initrd-start" and "chosen->linux,initrd-start". These properties are guaranteed to have 64-bit addresses which point where the initrd is in memory, which we need to fetch the binaries to be loaded.

* Check the return value from SBI ecallsMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-192-11/+25

* Setup the stack for an init taskMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-198-8/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bootstrap an init task which holds at least the initial stack that is to be used when setting up the registers (such as `sp` and `tp`). In order to guarantee that the stack and the rest of the registers are set up correctly, this commit also provides a raw implementation of a `printk` function. Moreover, this commit also adds an argument that must be passed to `start_kernel`, which is the pointer to the embedded `fdt` blob. This argument will be used by later work so to fetch, at least, the base address for the initial ram disk. This was also used to test that the stack was working as expected.

* Bootstrap the projectMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-08-243-0/+33
For now the base layout has been defined and we have a binary that is properly reached through openSBI. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
