Any interrupt causes my qemu VM to restart

[r0nk]

Any interrupt I send to my OS causes qemu to reset the virtual machine. I've got gdt working and loaded the idt, and double checked it and everything looks good (as far as my noob self can tell). I've used qemu's debugging capabilities, and the only thing I see happening is It jump to some random location (0x0e05b, if that means anything) on each interrupt. I've got interrupts logged, (warning, wall of text.):

Unfortunately, It's not very clear to me at all what is happening here. I've tried to find the problem but I'm at my wits end. The next thing I've considered doing is taking a look at the qemu code base, but that's quite the rabbit hole and I'm pretty sure I just made some stupid mistake somewhere that I can't see. I've already looked at the related wiki pages, but nothing I've tried from there has fixed it.

Here is the source code for my os (quite a mess, I know. This Is just a attempt to get something sorta working the first time, then rewrite it all once I've learned from my mistakes.) Any help would be very much appreciated.

You're getting two GPFs followed by the obvious double fault, which (according to the community Magic 8-Ball) tells me that the VM is restarting because of a triple fault afterwards, probably because the handler for processor exceptions is - for whatever reason - triggering a GPF of its own.

[eryjus]

After a quick review, I notice a couple of things. First, you should have a target for your interrupts written in assembly. C just cannot handle saving and restoring all the registers.

Second, the following code:

Code: Select all

void initalize_interrupts()
{
/* initalize the table contents */
initalize_idt();
idt_descr.size=(256*8);
idt_descr.address=(unsigned int)idt_table;
load_idt(&idt_descr);
}

... the size needs to be 1 less than the true size. In other words:

Code: Select all

idt_descr.size=(256*8)-1;

It seem's that your right about the triple fault, adventures into qemu revealed the '-d cpu_reset' option, which is a bit more illuminating, as it states that the CPU Triple faulted. It appears to be an error in how I encoded the type for each gate, still working out a fix.

I FIXED IT! AS;LKDJFA;LKSDJF;ALKSJDF YES MWAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Ok, so here is what I did; I started by going to qemu's codebase and adding a few printfs to point me in the right direction,
The mistakes I made;
* In the IDT, I had the low and high uint32's in the wrong order
* I forgot to enable the P bit (I'm not a clever man)
* lastly, for the segment selector in the IDT, I mistakenly thought that the segment selector was an offset value, when it actually was just an index value. I put 8 where I should've put 1.

VICTORY SPEECH TIME;
DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, NO MATTER HOW FAR THEY MIGHT SEEM. CHAMPIONS DON'T GIVE UP. YOU ARE A CHAMPION. YES I KNOW INTERRUPTS ARE FOR IDIOTS, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I'M A SUCCESSFUL IDIOT AND SO CAN YOU. THIS TOOK ME LIKE 4 DAYS BUT IDGAF I DID IT. WOO!
