c310e335ae hw_x86_64: Enable more specialized setup_irq_mode()
Move Platform::setup_irq_mode function from x86 platform_support.cc to
x86_64 specific file. This will enable the upcoming x86_64_muen platform
to provide a separate implementation.

cc58b11998 hw: replace page table allocator with static one
Instead of organizing page tables within slab blocks and allocating such
blocks dynamically on demand, replace the page table allocator with a
simple, static alternative. The new page table allocator is dimensioned
at compile-time. When a PD runs out of page-tables, we simply flush its
current mappings, and re-use the freed tables. The only exception is
core/kernel that should not produce any page faults. Thereby it has to
be ensured that core has enough page tables to populate it's virtual
memory.

A positive side-effect of this static approach is that the accounting
of memory used for page-tables is now possible again. In the dynamic case
there was no protocol existent that solved the problem of donating memory
to core during a page fault.

965d85d52d hw_x86_64: Support for dynamic IRQ mode setting
Add a Platform::setup_irq_mode function which enables the IRQ session to
update the trigger mode and polarity of the associated IRQ according to
the session parameters. On ARM this function is a nop.

This change enables the x86_64 platform to support devices which use
arbitrary trigger modes and polarity settings, e.g. AHCI on QEMU and
real hardware.

7ce8464b3a hw_x86_64: Enable FPU support
* Enable the use of the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions, see Intel SDM
  Vol. 3C, section 2.5.
* The state of the x87 floating point unit (FPU) is loaded and saved on
  demand.
* Make the cr0 control register accessible in the Cpu class. This is in
  preparation of the upcoming FPU management.
* Access to the FPU is disabled by setting the Task Switch flag in the cr0
  register.
* Access to the FPU is enabled by clearing the Task Switch flag in the cr0
  register.
* Implement FPU initialization
* Add is_fpu_enabled helper function
* Add pointer to CPU lazy state to CPU class
* Init FPU when finishing kernel initialization
* Add function to retry FPU instruction:
    Similar to the ARM mechanism to retry undefined instructions, implement a
    function for retrying an FPU instruction. If a floating-point instruction
    causes an #NM exception due to the FPU being disabled, it can be retried
    after the correct FPU state is restored, saving the current state and
    enabling the FPU in the process.
* Disable FPU when switching to different user context:
    This enables lazy save/restore of the FPU since trying to execute a
    floating point instruction when the FPU is disabled will cause a #NM
    exception.
* Declare constant for #NM exception
* Retry FPU instruction on #NM exception
* Assure alignment of FXSAVE area:
    The FXSAVE area is 512-byte memory region that must be 16-byte aligned. As
    it turns out the alignment attribute is not honored in all cases so add a
    workaround to assure the alignment constraint is met by manually rounding
    the start of the FXSAVE area to the next 16-byte boundary if necessary.

16a15237a4 hw_x86_64: Continue execution of the kernel
The instruction pointer is the first field of the master context and can
directly be used as a jump argument, which avoids additional register
copy operations.

fb5946b69c hw_x86_64: Save client register values to context
Point stack to client context region and save registers using push
instructions.

Note that since the push instruction first increments the stack pointer
and then stores the value on the stack, the RSP has to point one field
past RBP before pushing the first register value.

1035efcf3f hw_x86_64: Save info on interrupt stack to client context
As the kernel entry is called from the interrupt handler the stack
layout is as specified by Intel SDM Vol. 3A, figure 6-8. An additional
vector number is stored at the top of the stack.

Gather the necessary client information from the interrupt stack frame
and store it in the client context.

The new errcode field is used to store the error code that some

3e779e3ca1 hw_x86_64: Perform the user entry mode transition
The interrupt return instruction in IA-32e mode applies the prepared
interrupt stack frame to set the RFLAGS, CS and SS segment as well as
the RIP and RSP registers. It then continues execution of the user code.

For detailed information refer to Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 6.14.3.

1fc867f1d7 hw_x86_64: Switch to client page tables
After activating the client page tables the client context cannot be

172dec209b hw_x86_64: Restore registers to client context values
Set the stack pointer to the R8 field in the client context to enable
restoring registers by popping values of the stack.

After this step the only remaining registers that do not contain client
values are RAX, RSP and RIP.

Note that the client value of RAX is pop'd to the global buffer region as
the register will still be used by subsequent steps. It will be restored to
the value in the buffer area just prior to resuming client code execution.
