*Concepts you may want to Google beforehand: freestanding, uint32_t, size_t*
run commands below to set up env
- `brew install nasm qemu gcc`
- `brew tap nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain`
- `brew install i386-elf-binutils i386-elf-gcc`
**Goal: Fix miscellaneous issues with our code**
cd to /23-fixes, then you can compile and run `make run`
The OSDev wiki has a section [which describes some issues with
JamesM's tutorial](http://wiki.osdev.org/James_Molloy%27s_Tutorial_Known_Bugs).
Since we followed his tutorial for lessons 18-22 (interrupts through malloc), we'll
need to make sure we fix any of the issues before moving on.
make sure run `make clean && make run` if you change any code.
1. Wrong CFLAGS
---------------
We add `-ffreestanding` when compiling `.o` files, which includes `kernel_entry.o` and thus
`kernel.bin` and `os-image.bin`.
Before, we disabled libgcc (not libc) through the use of `-nostdlib` and we didn't re-enable
it for linking. Since this is tricky, we'll delete `-nostdlib`
`-nostdinc` was also passed to gcc, but we will need it for step 3, so let's delete it.
2. kernel.c `main()` function
-----------------------------
Modify `kernel/kernel.c` and change `main()` to `kernel_main()` since gcc recognizes "main" as
a special keyword and we don't want to mess with that.
Change `boot/kernel_entry.asm` to point to the new name accordingly.
To fix the `i386-elf-ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000001000`
warning message, add a `global _start;` and define the `_start:` label in `boot/kernel_entry.asm`.
3. Reinvented datatypes
-----------------------
It looks like it was a bad idea to define non-standard data types like `u32` and such, since
C99 introduces standard fixed-width data types like `uint32_t`
We need to include `<stdint.h>` which works even in `-ffreestanding` (but requires stdlibs)
and use those data types instead of our own, then delete them on `type.h`
We also delete the underscores around `__asm__` and `__volatile__` since they aren't needed.
4. Improperly aligned `kmalloc`
-------------------------------
First, since `kmalloc` uses a size parameter, we'll use the correct data type `size_t` instead
of `u32int_t`. `size_t` should be used for all parameters which "count" stuff and cannot be
negative. Include `<stddef.h>`.
We will fix our `kmalloc` in the future, making it a proper memory manager and aligning data types.
For now, it will always return a new page-aligned memory block.
5. Missing functions
--------------------
Purpose of the Operating System
This operating system is designed to demonstrate fundamental OS concepts and basic system functionality. The primary purpose is to:
We will implement the missing `mem*` functions in following lessons
Command Interface: Implement a simple shell interface for user interaction
Resource Management: Demonstrate basic memory management and system resource tracking
File Operations: Simulate basic file system operations like rename and move
The OS boots from a custom bootloader, initializes hardware components, and provides a command-line interface for user interaction.
Implemented Functions
6. Interrupt handlers
---------------------
`cli` is redundant, since we already established on the IDT entries if interrupts
are enabled within a handler using the `idt_gate_t` flags.
1. LIST Command
`sti` is also redundant, as `iret` loads the eflags value from the stack, which contains a
bit telling whether interrupts are on or off.
In other words the interrupt handler automatically restores interrupts whether or not
interrupts were enabled before this interrupt
Purpose: Displays all available commands in the system
Implementation: Iterates through a command table and prints each command with its description
Code Location: kernel/kernel.c - cmd_list() function
On `cpu/isr.h`, `struct registers_t` has a couple issues.
First, the alleged `esp` is renamed to `useless`.
The value is useless because it has to do with the current stack context, not what was interrupted.
Then, we rename `useresp` to `esp`
2. CLEAR Command
We add `cld` just before `call isr_handler` on `cpu/interrupt.asm` as suggested
by the osdev wiki.
Purpose: Clears the terminal screen
Implementation: Writes blank spaces to the entire video memory buffer and resets cursor position
Code Location: drivers/screen.c - clear_screen() function
There is a final, important issue with `cpu/interrupt.asm`. The common stubs create an instance
of `struct registers` on the stack and then call the C handler. But that breaks the ABI, since
the stack belongs to the called function and they may change them as they please. It is needed
to pass the struct as a pointer.
3. ECHO Command
To achieve this, edit `cpu/isr.h` and `cpu/isr.c` and change `registers_t r` into `registers_t *t`,
then, instead of accessing the fields of the struct via `.`, access the fields of the pointer via `->`.
Finally, in `cpu/interrupt.asm`, and add a `push esp` before calling both `isr_handler` and
`irq_handler` -- remember to also `pop eax` to clear the pointer afterwards.
Purpose: Echoes user input back to the screen
Implementation: Parses input string after "ECHO" keyword and prints it
Use Case: Testing input/output functionality
Code Location: kernel/kernel.c - cmd_echo() function
Both current callbacks, the timer and the keyboard, also need to be changed to use a pointer to
`registers_t`.
4. RENAME Command
Purpose: Demonstrates file renaming capability
Implementation: Maintains a simple file table and updates file names
Code Location: kernel/kernel.c - cmd_rename() function
5. MOVE Command
Purpose: Simulates moving files between directories
Implementation: Parses source and destination paths and simulates file movement
Code Location: kernel/kernel.c - cmd_move() function
Technical Implementation Details
Bootloader: Custom x86 bootloader that loads the kernel into memory
Kernel: Monolithic kernel design with integrated drivers
Memory Management: Basic flat memory model with simple allocation
Interrupt Handling: Implements IDT for keyboard and timer interrupts
Display Driver: Direct VGA text mode manipulation at 0xB8000

Challenges and Learning Outcomes
The main challenges included understanding low-level hardware interaction, implementing proper interrupt handling, and managing memory without standard library support. This project provided valuable insights into:
How operating systems boot and initialize
Direct hardware manipulation
The importance of system calls and kernel/user space separation
Basic command parsing and execution
Future Improvements
Potential enhancements could include:
Implementing a real file system (FAT12 or custom)
Adding process management and multitasking
Implementing virtual memory with paging
Adding network stack support
Conclusion
This project successfully demonstrates core OS functionality through practical implementation. The system boots reliably, handles user input, and executes multiple commands, meeting all project requirements while providing a foundation for further OS development.
