A very confusing problem with interrput.

[626788149]

I have a very big big big trouble.I have spent ten hours to figure it out .But I get nothing

I don't know whether it is a problem with synchronization.

I try to print strings. When call cprintf function ,it do not actually print to screen immediately,instead output to a buffer.

Just @Brendan said.http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29754

If without the timer interrupt, the function cprintf works very well.

I want to use timer interrupt to flush buffer.

Once the timer interrupt occurred,the buffer is flushed.

But this process doesn't last long.

It will occur other exceptions,(e.g. debug exception, after several debug exception,will occur illegal opcode exception).

I am very confused.

All those are under the real machine.

I don't know why the timer interrupt always occur with no other code executed under the qeum or boch .

It will occur other exceptions,(e.g. debug exception, after several debug exception,will occur illegal opcode exception).

Chances are likely your interrupt handlers corrupt your memory.

   addl $4,%esp;                       \
   jmp _alltraps

My guess is the "addl $4, %esp;" line.

If this instruction is meant to throw away the "error number" pushed on to the stack by the CPU, then you need to have another version of this template for interrupts that do not push a value to the stack. (i.e. with this line commented out). You can find the interrupts that push error numbers to the stack here: Exceptions

Also, perhaps on a side note, you are only sending IRQ 0 acknowledgements to the PIC. You probably need to acknowledge IRQ 1-7, and 8-16 to both PICs.

      cons_flush(tty->p_console);   
   }

Let us know if this helps or not.

Because I push a vector number on the stack( pushl $(num) ),so I need pop it out before return back and IRQ0 has no error code.



I find my problem what it is.
If i change codes to this. The problem gone.

Code: Select all

	for(i;;i++){
		__asm __volatile("cli");
		cprintf("%d \n",i);	
		__asm __volatile("sti");
	}

It seem like synchronization problem.
Interrput handler corrupt memory.

Any problem with these code?

__inline uint32_t
read_eflags(void)
{
	uint32_t eflags;
	__asm __volatile("pushfl; popl %0" : "=r" (eflags));
	return eflags;
}

__inline void
write_eflags(uint32_t eflags)
{
	__asm __volatile("pushl %0; popfl" : : "r" (eflags));
}

Yes,just you said.
