That's just what happens when you disassemble data as code.

What's the entry point address? (Use "objdump -f" or "readelf -h".)

I think from the previous thing that happened to me in the "Enabling optimizations ruins the kernel" topic, that he jumps to the entry point with a misaligned stack.

You must read the ABI.

If you "call EntryPoint" then the stack pointer must be 16 byte aligned.

if you "jmp EntryPoint" then the stack must be 16 byte aligned and you should push 8 bytes manually like :

"sub rsp, 8; jmp EntryPoint".

If you use optimizations, try compiling without them and see if it works. If yes, then you have some ABI problems

From my POV, The entry point function in a kernel should always be in assembly if you use a bootloader that is not yours. When your entry point is called, you must set your own stack pointer and Control registers, then jump to the kernel.

I personnaly allocate a small stack inside the kernel image.

So you can make the entry point like this :

Code: Select all

KernelSetup:
mov rbp, StackTop
mov rsp, rbp
; Reset RFLAGS (optionnal) to delete some Nested task and unwanted flags
push qword 0
popf
; Here you can setup control registers (optionnal)

; Now lets call the entry point
sub rsp, 8 ; Fake RIP
jmp _start

section .bss
align 0x1000
StackBottom resb 0x10000
StackTop:

I tried this, but I got these errors.

Code: Select all

This is in nasm syntax. You are using at&t syntax.

I don't know about at&t syntax alot, convert my code to your syntax then compile it.

I'm not sure, try this :
If there is any error, tell me.
I repeat, I am not experienced in this syntax. Just try this and see if it works.

Code: Select all

KernelSetup:
movq $StackTop, %rsp
movq %rbp, %rsp
# Reset RFLAGS (optionnal) to delete some Nested task and unwanted flags
pushq $0
popfq
# Here you can setup control registers (optionnal)

# Now lets call the entry point
subq $8, %rsp ; Fake RIP
jmp $_start

It did work, but didn't solve my main issue. I 'm looking at the QEMU log to see if anything changed. if you need to see it, here it is.

Code: Select all

I did change some of the code, though. That might be why. Here is my boot.S file if you need to see it.

Code: Select all

.section .bss
.align 16
stack_bottom:
.skip 16384 # 16 KiB
stack_top:

.section .text
.global _start
.type _start, @function
_start:
    movq $stack_top, %rsp
    movq %rbp, %rsp

    call kernel_main

    cli
1:	hlt
	jmp 1b
.size _start, . - _start

Re: How to make a GDT?

The last register dump has RSP set to 0x8.
There is something unusual.

Can you insert a "jmp $" before jumping to the kernel entry point and send the cpu registers dump. type in qemu monitor "info registers".

And tell me if no error happens when you do that.

You must set KernelSetup as the EntryPoint of the kernel.

Edit it to this :

Code: Select all

_start:
    movq $stack_top, %rsp
    movq %rbp, %rsp
### I just copied you, just make an infinite loop (not cli; hlt)
2:
    jmp 2b
    call kernel_main

    cli
1:   hlt
   jmp 1b

Your assembly you changed in fine, and honestly makes a bit more sense than the original example. TBH I somewhat doubt the necessity of the assembly, but it's not hurting anything....

Run readelf -a on your kernel file, and give the results here. Also, please attach it as a file instead of dumping the whole thing here (as that makes it easier for people who want to skim the thread only).

This didn't work. It never got to the infinite loop.

I've attached the file.

I may try using the BOOTBOOT example kernel as a base and rebuild the Meaty Skeleton code (in x86_64) from there.

Hmm, I don't see your entry point in the output. What's your linker command line?

So inserting an infinite loop at the very startup function of the kernel doesn't work ?

Then this is a bootloader ot linker problem I guess ?

Can you send us a github repo so I can try your code myself

I've taken the linker command from the output. This is the linking command.

Code: Select all

Did your kernel even compile ?

I get alot of errors.

When I fixed them, I got linker errors.

I am not a linux user, but if you use Windows, I can help you to compile your kernel without the wsl. And compiling on windows is much easier than on linux.

Code: Select all

What? Citation needed! Everyone agrees that making an OS on Linux is easier. Doing so on Windows is a nightmare!

The problem your having with compiling is rather simple. You need to use a cross compiler.

zap8600, I am honestly at a loss at this point. I would recommend ditching BOOTBOOT TBH. BOOTBOOT is very finicky from what I've seen. Try using Limine instead.

No, in Windows you can just use msvc and nasm.
No cross compiling !
And nothing such as linker.ld makefile blablabla...
You can use wsl to use some of the linux things, but they all are not required (atleast because I've created my own fs drivers).
