d280aa0584 Page faults and protetion faults will now hang with a helpful message
to explain what is going on.

I removed previously set barriers from the code to load
the kernel further.

7d6c823d79 Basic Launch of Higher half kernel
We now can launch the kernel at 0xC0000000 (or 3 GiB mark) with paging enabled.
A lot of early main is currently not executed to keep debugging as simple as possible
during the initial testing of higher half kernel loading.

A lot of the implementation is straight from wiki.osdev.org/Higher_Half_x86_Bare_Bones. Thanks to all the folks
who keep that wiki updated, its really resourceful.

3b3e2597a1 Restructering Kernel folder before moving to higher half kernel
The boot up process will be changed somewhat dramatically, therefor a
restructering of the kernel seems as a good starting point.

0b0e37b762 Paging cleanup, more cpu testing and psuedo code for higher half kernel 2022-08-17 14:17:58 +02:00
388ac8e7f9 Added checks to be sure paging is actually enabled on the cpu.
- Made a special assembly file to put CPU check function in. E.G. functions to get the state of
	specific registers

In this case I have created a simple assembly function to get the contents of the CR0 register.
With the help of the c++ preprocessor the value can then be used to check if certains bits are set.
For example to check if the PG (paging) bit is set, indicating that paging is enabled for the
processor.

b4cff3e667 Basic block allocation for physical memory allocation.
- 1 block = 4096 bytes : because this will make page fault handling possibly
somewhat easier

- 1 byte in the bitmap = 8 blocks of physical memory

unsure if the allocation is perfect ... guess i'll find out some day if this is actually correct.

The bitmap needs 16kb to keep track of 2gb of physical memory. Seems a decent percentage to me.

97606dbf71 Clean up of debugging logs and new commands.
As this project grows it becomes important to keep things properly organised.
In this commit I've put some effort into making the kernel.cpp file more consise and thus improve its
readability.
Certain parts of the code have gotten their own definition file where before it
was only a header file.

- Moving the Supervisor Terminal into its own definition file.
- Subtracting debugging messages with preprocessor ifdef's
- Time and Date is now not just a header but has its own proper definition file
- Banner is displayed when booting up
- Terminal has a couple new commands

	Commmand		Description
	=================|||||===================================================
	DATE (was TIME)		Displays the curren time, date and ticks
	VERSION			Displays system version information
	MEMORY			Displays memory information

7496299761 Basic Intel Exceptions
Any interrupt thrown for any Intel defined Exception is not only being caught but
displays an appropriate message to the screen.

0d8ef065e0 Interactive supervisor mode
To ease the pain of debuggin I can now interact with the system through a
very simplistic terminal. Hopefully things can be tested more easily by activating
the piece through a simple command. The max characters for a command is 10.

To achieve this I have had to make the following changes.
- Changed IRQ to update a global status variable
- Added a standalone keyboard driver with getKey functions
- Changed the main kernel loop to display a prompt
- Added a strncmp function to the clib/string file
