Post subject: | Paging help |
Dear thread reader, I have been searching this forum for two days hoping to find the awnser to my question. I'm working on my kernel and I got GDT IDT ISR and IRQ all setup and working so I'm moving on to my memory manager. My first try at setting up paging worked becouse I worked along with osdever's tutorial. But when I try to change the point at wich the paging starts my kernel crashes, it just reboots (so there is no exception trown?). Here is my paging setup code. Code: //Paging.c
//Init paging //Includes #include "Kernel.h" //Functions extern uint32 asm_getpaging(); extern void asm_setpaging(uint32 cr0); extern uint32 asm_getpagaddress(); extern void asm_setpagaddress(uint32 cr3); //Vars uint32* page_directory; uint32* page_table; uint8* page_start; uint8* page_usermemory; //Init paging void k_initpaging() { //Vars uint32 address = 0; uint32 i; //Set directory and table page_directory = (uint32*)0x200000; page_table = (uint32*)0x210000; page_start = (uint8*)0x100000 page_usermemory = (uint8*)0x220000; //Fill all table entries address = (uint32)page_start; for (i=0;i<1024;i++) { page_table[i] = address | 3; address += 4096; } //Setup first page directory page_directory[0] = (uint32)page_table; page_directory[0] |= 3; //Fill all remaining directory's for (i=1;i<1024;i++) { page_directory[i] = 0|2; } //Enable paging asm_setpagaddress((uint32)page_directory); asm_setpaging(asm_getpaging()|0x80000000); } //Copyright © 2007 Charlie Gerhardus Can anybody see why its crashing? And when I got it working what should I do next? Thanks in advance. Tjaalie, |

Quote: it just reboots (so there is no exception trown?) No, I'm sure there is an exception thrown, but I guess that either your idt or your exception handler is not available.
If you activate paging, you have to make sure that not only your code is accessible, but also your gdt/idt and of course all isrs, and of course at the same addresses as before you started paging. If I read your code right, you map the physical space between 0x00100000 and 0x004FFFFF to the virtual space 0x00000000 - 0x003FFFFF ... that means that none of your virtual addresses match the physical addresses. So the system can not find the idt and gdt any more, it can't even find your code because it searches at the same addresses as before you start paging. [edit]After your paging works you should try to create an address space manager. You have 4 GB of address space ( independant of how much physical memory you have ) and I think you need to decide dynamically how to use it[/edit] |

Thanks, so I need to map my kernel to 0x100000 and then it will work again? |

If all your code and kernel data are in this 4 mb, then it should work. |

I finaly got it to work but as soon as I use page_count in the loop and not 1024 it goes back to the same old rebooting stuff. Here is the new code Code: //Paging.c
//Init paging //Includes #include "Kernel.h" //A page directory typedef struct { uint32 Offset; bool Free; bool Chain; } __attribute__((packed)) page_directory; //Functions extern uint32 asm_getpaging(); extern void asm_setpaging(uint32 cr0); extern uint32 asm_getpagaddress(); extern void asm_setpagaddress(uint32 cr3); bool page_chain(uint32 offset, uint32 count); //Vars page_directory* page_directories; uint32* page_table; uint32 page_usermemory; uint32 page_count; //Init paging void k_initpaging() { //Vars uint32 address = 0; uint32 i; //Set vars page_directories = (page_directory*)0x200000; page_table = (uint32*)0x300000; page_usermemory = 400; page_count = k_getramsize()/1024/4; //Fill all table entries for (i=0;i<1024;i++) { page_table[i] = address | 3; address += 4096; } //Fill all remaining directory's for (i=0;i<1024;i++) { page_directories[i].Offset = (uint32)&page_table[i]; page_directories[i].Offset = page_directories[i].Offset|3; page_directories[i].Free = true; page_directories[i].Chain = false; } //Enable paging asm_setpagaddress((uint32)page_directories); asm_setpaging(asm_getpaging()|0x80000000); } //Calculate free pages uint32 k_freepages() { //Vars uint32 i; uint32 Free = 0; //Loop trough all pages and count free ones for (i=page_usermemory;i<page_count-page_usermemory;i++) { if (page_directories[i].Free) { Free++; } } //Done return Free; } //Alloc a page or more then one void* k_allocpage(uint32 count) { //Vars uint32 i; uint32 x; uint32* Offset; //Anything to allocate if (count == 0) { return NULL; } //Loop and find for (i=page_usermemory;i<page_count;i++) { //Free? if (page_directories[i].Free) { //More then one? if (count > 1) { if (!page_chain(i, count)) { continue; } } //Alloc them page_directories[i].Free = false; page_directories[i].Chain = false; //Alloc chain for (x=1;x<count;x++) { page_directories[x+i].Free = false; page_directories[x+i].Chain = true; } //Done Offset = (uint32*)page_directories[i].Offset; return (void*)*Offset; } } //Failed return NULL; } //Free allocated pages void k_freepage(void* start) { //Vars uint32 PageNumber = (uint32)start/4096; uint32 ChainLen = 0; uint32 i; //Get chain len i = PageNumber+1; while (page_directories[i].Chain) { i++; } ChainLen = i-1; //Free them for (i=PageNumber;i<PageNumber+ChainLen+1;i++) { page_directories[i].Free = true; page_directories[i].Chain = false; } } //Is there a chain? bool page_chain(uint32 offset, uint32 count) { //Vars uint32 i; //Check bounds if (offset+count > page_count) { return false; } //Loop and check for (i=0;i<count;i++) { if (!page_directories[i+offset].Free) { return false;; } } //Succes return true; } //Copyright © 2007 Charlie Gerhardus |

I got allocating and deallocating working but I can't write to the pointer that k_allocpage returns. Anyone has an idea why? When I write the address of the pointer to the screen it seems right. |

Could you tell me the number of the virtual page k_allocpage uses and which address it returns (in hexadezimal notation) ... the last three digits of the address should be zero |

Maybe I'm reading your code wrong, but it looks to me like you're trying to write into the page table, not an allocated page...? |
