* dt: Fetch the CPU frequency as wellMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-261-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | If the 'timebase-frequency' property is available under the 'cpus' node from the DTB blob, it makes sense to try to fetch this value from there instead of hardcoding it. For other use-cases, where this information is not available through DT (e.g. ACPI on the VisionFive2 board), we will have to hardcode it with a default value even if it's not the proper one.

* Simplify scheduling by introducing an init processMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-241-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Solà2024-11-221-7/+36
| | | | | | | | 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>
* Enable the timer from the SBI interfaceMiquel Sabaté Solà2024-11-221-0/+125
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>
