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.
Move the _core_only_mmio_regions function to the
x86_64/platform_support.cc file. This is required to make it overridable
for other platforms deriving from x86.
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.
Fixes#1528.
Enable a platform to specify how the MMIO memory allocator is to be
initialized. On ARM the existing behavior is kept while on x86 the I/O
memory is defined as the entire address space excluding the core only
RAM regions. This aligns the hw_x86_64 I/O memory allocator
initialization with how it is done for other x86 kernels such as NOVA or
Fiasco.
Instead of having an ID allocator per object class use one global allocator for
all. Thereby artificial limitations for the different object types are
superfluent. Moreover, replace the base-hw specific id allocator implementation
with the generic Bit_allocator, which is also memory saving.
Ref #1443
In order to match the I/O APIC configuration, a request for user timer
IRQ 0 is remapped to vector 50 (Board::TIMER_VECTOR_USER), all other
requests are transposed by adding the vector offset 48
(Board::VECTOR_REMAP_BASE).
This patch contains the initial code needed to build and bootstrap the
base-hw kernel on x86 64-bit platforms. It gets stuck earlier
because the binary contains 64-bit instructions, but it is started in
32-bit mode. The initial setup of page tables and switch to long mode is
still missing from the crt0 code.
