* introduces central memory map for core/kernel * on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000 * on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000 * mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB) * move the exception vector to begin of core's binary, thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately * do not map boot modules into core anymore * constrain core's virtual heap memory area * differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB, which now resides inside the kernel segment Ref #2091
This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts: :_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the appropriate 'base-<system>' directory. :_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything together. _Core_ may export information about the hardware platform by an ROM called 'platform_info'. Depending on the platform, e.g. ARM or x86 or riscv, and depending on the boot mode and boot loader and kernel, some nodes may not be populated. !<platform_info> ! <acpi revision="2" rsdt="0x1fe93074" xsdt="0x1fe930e8"/> ! <boot> ! <framebuffer phys="0x7300000" width="1024" height="768" bpp="32"/> ! </boot> !</platform_info> If the ACPI RSDT and XSDT physical pointer is reported by the used kernel and/or bootloader, _Core_ may provide this information by the ROM. If the graphic device is initialised and can be directly used by a framebuffer driver, _Core_ may provide the physical pointer to the framebuffer, the resolution and color depth in bits.
