* Allow the kernel to run as a Linux imageMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-291-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to run on real hardware, it's actually easier to re-use workflows from existing bootloaders than loading things in memory manually. In order to achieve this two things had to be settled: 1. The image has to have a Linux header as defined in the RISC-V port. This header will be taken into consideration by bootloaders in order to know where to jump, the image offset, the endianness of the image, etc. 2. The image cannot just be an ELF executable. Rather, we must translate it into binary form via `objcopy`. With all of this at hand, I was able to make the kernel run on a Starfive VisionFive 2 board, and I have recorded an example so it's available as documentation.

* Setup the stack for an init taskMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-191-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Solà2024-08-241-0/+52
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>
