Triple faulting after setting up IDT with default ISRs

Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:37 pm

I have begun some further work on my current C-based OS project, specifically implementing a basic IDT populated with default ISRs. Unsurprisingly, at the moment this triple faults more or less as soon as I enable interrupts. The current code can be seen here, while the structure definitions are here.

The relevant declarations are:

Code: Select all

#define IDT_SIZE 256
#define EXCEPTIONS_SIZE 32

enum IDT_gate_type: uint8_t   // note: requires -std=c2x for typed enum support
{
    TASK_GATE = 0x05,
    INT_GATE_16 = 0x06,
    TRAP_GATE_16 = 0x07,
    INT_GATE_32 = 0x0E,
    TRAP_GATE_32 = 0x0F
};

struct IDT_R
{
    uint16_t size;
    uint32_t base;
} __attribute__((packed));

struct Interrupt_Descriptor_32
{
    uint16_t offset_low;
    enum GDT_entry segment_selector;
    uint8_t reserved;
    struct
    {
        uint8_t gate_type:4;
        uint8_t zero:1;
        uint8_t dpl:2;
        uint8_t p:1;
    } attributes;
    uint16_t offset_high;
} __attribute__((packed));


struct Interrupt_Frame
{
    uint16_t ip;
    uint16_t cs;
    uint16_t flags;
    uint16_t sp;
    uint16_t ss;
} __attribute__((packed));
as well as

Code: Select all

__attribute__((aligned(0x10))) static struct IDT_R idt_r;
__attribute__((aligned(0x10))) static struct Interrupt_Descriptor_32 idt[IDT_SIZE];
While the code I suspect as being at fault is in these three functions (which are partly based on the Interrupts Tutorial):

Code: Select all

void idt_set_descriptor(uint8_t vector, void isr(struct Interrupt_Frame*), enum PRIVILEGE_LEVEL dpl, enum IDT_gate_type gate_type)
{
    struct Interrupt_Descriptor_32* descriptor = &idt[vector];

    descriptor->offset_low       = (uint16_t) ((uint32_t) isr & 0xFFFF);
    descriptor->segment_selector = system_code_entry;
    descriptor->attributes.p     = 1;
    descriptor->attributes.dpl   = dpl;
    descriptor->attributes.zero  = 0;
    descriptor->attributes.gate_type = gate_type;
    descriptor->offset_high      = (uint16_t) ((uint32_t) isr >> 16);
    descriptor->reserved         = 0;
}

__attribute__((interrupt)) void default_exception_handler(struct Interrupt_Frame* frame)
{
    disable_interrupts();
    clear_screen();
    kprints("Unhandled exception.", WHITE, BLACK, 0);
    __asm__("hlt");
}

void init_default_interrupts()
{
    // initialize the values to put into the IDT register
    idt_r.base = (uintptr_t) &idt[0];
    idt_r.size = (uint16_t) sizeof(struct Interrupt_Descriptor_32) * IDT_SIZE - 1;

    // As a precaution, populate the IDT with default ISRs.
    // This is done in two phases, first populating the exception handlers,
    // then populating the interrupt handlers.
    for (uint8_t vector = 0; vector < (EXCEPTIONS_SIZE - 1); vector++)
    {
        idt_set_descriptor(vector, default_exception_handler, RING_0, TRAP_GATE_32);
    }

    for (uint8_t vector = EXCEPTIONS_SIZE; vector < (IDT_SIZE - 1); vector++)
    {
        idt_set_descriptor(vector, default_interrupt_handler, RING_0, INT_GATE_32);
    }


    // add exception-specific handlers
    idt_set_descriptor(0x00, div_zero_exception_handler, RING_0, TRAP_GATE_32);
    idt_set_descriptor(0x08, double_fault_exception_handler, RING_0, TRAP_GATE_32);

    // add interrupt-specific handlers

    load_IDT(&idt_r);
}
Note that I deviated from the recommendations in the tutorial in that I defined the default ISR in C, using the GCC __attribute__((interrupt)) extension, rather than in assembly. I also tried breaking the attribute field of the IDT entries into separate bitfields, and while I doubt this is relevant, it is worth noting as another deviation from the tutorial's recommendations.

The output from QEMU with the -d int option set (for the section following the switch to p-mode) is as follows:

Code: Select all

Servicing hardware INT=0x0e

Re: Triple faulting after setting up IDT with default ISRs

Wrong amount of indirection here. This should work instead:

Code: Select all

:"m"(*idtr));
Also, the CPU doesn't use the IDTR desciptor after the LIDT instruction, so it's perfectly fine to use a local variable instead of the global variable you're using now.

This doesn't seem to change anything, but still, thank you for pointing that out.

Ah, I didn't know that, thank you.

It should fix the garbage in the IDTR that immediately causes a page fault upon the first attempt to use the IDT:

Code: Select all

    36: v=08 e=0000 i=0 cpl=0 IP=0008:00000000c0000006 pc=00000000c0000006 SP=0010:00000000c00ffffc 
...
IDT=     fff4c000 00003010
...
check_exception old: 0xffffffff new 0xe
    37: v=0e e=0000 i=0 cpl=0 IP=0008:00000000c0000006 pc=00000000c0000006 SP=0010:00000000c00ffffc CR2=00000000fff4c040

OK, that does seem to be different now:

Which indicates to me that there is at least one more fault in the code.

I'll attach a longer dump of the -d reg output.

Code: Select all

IDT=     c0003010 000009ff
Your IDT is too big. Either you have more than 256 entries or each entry is bigger than it should be.

This needs to be a uint16_t, or a type that's the same size. That would explain why it's too big.

Also, this enum defines segment indices, not segment selectors.

Ah, you are right. I'll fix that now.

D'oh! OK, I'll see to fixing that.

OK, with both of those issues addressed - in a somewhat inelegant fashion, but still - I am now trapping a double fault and halting, which indicates to me that there's still some work to be done, but at least the IDT itself is working. I was expecting that it would raise the timer interrupt and thus end up captured by the default interrupt handler, but this is enough to do for tonight. Thank you very much.

Did you initialize the interrupt controllers? By default, they route the timer IRQ to vector 8, which will call your double fault handler.

No, I did not, nor did I know that it would default to vector 0x08 - I was following another codebase's exception vector descriptions, incorrectly assuming that they were the defaults. Knowing that now is actually quite a relief.
