[librm] Ensure that inline code symbols are unique

2018-03-21T15:00:53+00:00

Commit 6149e0a ("[librm] Provide symbols for inline code placed into other sections") may cause build failures due to duplicate label names if the compiler chooses to duplicate inline assembly code. Fix by using the "%=" special format string to include a guaranteed-unique number within the label name. The "%=" will be expanded only if constraints exist for the inline assembly. This fix therefore requires that all REAL_CODE() fragments use a (possibly empty) constraint list. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[librm] Provide symbols for inline code placed into other sections

2018-03-21T12:44:04+00:00

Provide symbols constructed from the object name and line number for code fragments placed into alternative sections, such as inline REAL_CODE() assembly placed into .text16. This simplifies the debugging task of finding the source code corresponding to a given instruction pointer. Note that we cannot use __FUNCTION__ since it is not a preprocessor macro and so cannot be concatenated with string literals. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[rng] Use fixed-point calculations for min-entropy quantities

2018-03-20T18:56:01+00:00

We currently perform various min-entropy calculations using build-time floating-point arithmetic. No floating-point code ends up in the final binary, since the results are eventually converted to integers and asserted to be compile-time constants. Though this mechanism is undoubtedly cute, it inhibits us from using "-mno-sse" to prevent the use of SSE registers by the compiler. Fix by using fixed-point arithmetic instead.

[time] Add support for the ACPI power management timer

2018-03-20T15:26:49+00:00

Allow the ACPI power management timer to be used if enabled via TIMER_ACPI in config/timer.h. This provides an alternative timer on systems where the standard 8254 PIT is unavailable or unreliable. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[librm] Add facility to provide register and stack dump for CPU exceptions

2018-03-18T12:59:34+00:00

When DEBUG=librm_mgmt is enabled, intercept CPU exceptions and provide a register and stack dump, then drop to an emergency shell. Exiting from the shell will almost certainly not work, but this provides an opportunity to view the register and stack dump and carry out some basic debugging. Note that we can intercept only the first 8 CPU exceptions, since a PXE ROM is not permitted to rebase the PIC. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[cpuid] Allow input %ecx value to be specified

2017-06-16T00:17:48+00:00

For some CPUID leaves (e.g. %eax=0x00000004), the result depends on the input value of %ecx. Allow this subfunction number to be specified as a parameter to the cpuid() wrapper. The subfunction number is exposed via the ${cpuid/...} settings mechanism using the syntax ${cpuid/.0x40..} e.g. ${cpuid/0.0x40.0.0x0000000b} ${cpuid/1.0x40.0.0x0000000b} to retrieve the CPU topology information.

[undi] Move PXE API caller back into UNDI driver

2017-03-19T15:57:24+00:00

As of commit 10d19bd ("[pxe] Always retrieve cached DHCPACK and apply to relevant network device"), the UNDI driver has been the only user of pxeparent_call(). Remove the unnecessary layer of abstraction by refactoring this code back into undinet.c, and fix the ability of undiisr.S to fall back to chaining to the original handler if we were unable to unhook our own ISR. This effectively reverts commit 337e1ed ("[pxe] Separate parent PXE API caller from UNDINET driver"). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[time] Allow timer to be selected at runtime

2017-01-26T08:17:37+00:00

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of initialisation. TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value 1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted to bit shifts. TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running at around 18.2Hz). TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line option "-cpu host,+invtsc".) Signed-off-by: Michael Brown
