procinit() and map them high up (below TRAMPOLNE) with an empty mapping below each stack. Never free a kernel stack. Another way would be to allocate and map them dynamically, but then we need to reload page table when switching processes in scheduler() and/or have a kernel pagetable per proc (if we want k->stack to be the same virtual address in each process). One gotcha: kernel addresses are not equal to physical addresses for stack addresses. A stack address must be translated if we need its physical address (e.g., virtio passes a stack address to the disk).

The x86-64 doesn't just add two levels to page tables to support 64 bit addresses, but is a different processor. For example, calling conventions, system calls, and segmentation are different from 32-bit x86. Segmentation is basically gone, but gs/fs in combination with MSRs can be used to hold a per-core pointer. In general, x86-64 is more straightforward than 32-bit x86. The port uses code from sv6 and the xv6 "rsc-amd64" branch. A summary of the changes is as follows: - Booting: switch to grub instead of xv6's bootloader (pass -kernel to qemu), because xv6's boot loader doesn't understand 64bit ELF files. And, we don't care anymore about booting. - Makefile: use -m64 instead of -m32 flag for gcc, delete boot loader, xv6.img, bochs, and memfs. For now dont' use -O2, since usertests with -O2 is bigger than MAXFILE! - Update gdb.tmpl to be for i386 or x86-64 - Console/printf: use stdarg.h and treat 64-bit addresses different from ints (32-bit) - Update elfhdr to be 64 bit - entry.S/entryother.S: add code to switch to 64-bit mode: build a simple page table in 32-bit mode before switching to 64-bit mode, share code for entering boot processor and APs, and tweak boot gdt. The boot gdt is the gdt that the kernel proper also uses. (In 64-bit mode, the gdt/segmentation and task state mostly disappear.) - exec.c: fix passing argv (64-bit now instead of 32-bit). - initcode.c: use syscall instead of int. - kernel.ld: load kernel very high, in top terabyte. 64 bits is a lot of address space! - proc.c: initial return is through new syscall path instead of trapret. - proc.h: update struct cpu to have some scratch space since syscall saves less state than int, update struct context to reflect x86-64 calling conventions. - swtch: simplify for x86-64 calling conventions. - syscall: add fetcharg to handle x86-64 calling convetions (6 arguments are passed through registers), and fetchaddr to read a 64-bit value from user space. - sysfile: update to handle pointers from user space (e.g., sys_exec), which are 64 bits. - trap.c: no special trap vector for sys calls, because x86-64 has a different plan for system calls. - trapasm: one plan for syscalls and one plan for traps (interrupt and exceptions). On x86-64, the kernel is responsible for switching user/kernel stacks. To do, xv6 keeps some scratch space in the cpu structure, and uses MSR GS_KERN_BASE to point to the core's cpu structure (using swapgs). - types.h: add uint64, and change pde_t to uint64 - usertests: exit() when fork fails, which helped in tracking down one of the bugs in the switch from 32-bit to 64-bit - vectors: update to make them 64 bits - vm.c: use bootgdt in kernel too, program MSRs for syscalls and core-local state (for swapgs), walk 4 levels in walkpgdir, add DEVSPACETOP, use task segment to set kernel stack for interrupts (but simpler than in 32-bit mode), add an extra argument to freevm (size of user part of address space) to avoid checking all entries till KERNBASE (there are MANY TB before the top 1TB). - x86: update trapframe to have 64-bit entries, which is what the processor pushes on syscalls and traps. simplify lgdt and lidt, using struct desctr, which needs the gcc directives packed and aligned. TODO: - use int32 instead of int? - simplify curproc(). xv6 has per-cpu state again, but this time it must have it. - avoid repetition in walkpgdir - fix validateint() in usertests.c - fix bugs (e.g., observed one a case of entering kernel with invalid gs or proc

myproc() points to a different thread. myproc(); sched(); myproc(); // this proc maybe different than the one before sched Thus, in a function that operates on one thread better to retrieve the current process once at the start of the function.

- move log into metadata part of disk, so that marking that the log's blocks are in use falls out for free - superblock describes the whole disk (sizes and offets) - sizes and offsets are computed in one place (mkfs) and the rest of the code refers to the superblock for these values, instead of recomputing them.

the day of reckoning has come for the debug port "Shutdown" hack. instead of mucking with ACPI or using a new hack, the student will now write sys_date() using the cmosgetdate() helper.

Previously, these were inconsistent: they used their struct proc argument for bounds checking, but always copied the argument from the current address space (and hence the current process). Drop the struct proc argument and always use the current proc. Suggested by Carmi Merimovich.
