Expand description

The main module and entrypoint

Various facilities of the kernels are implemented as submodules. The most important ones are:

  • trap: Handles all cases of switching from userspace to the kernel
  • task: Task management
  • syscall: System call handling and implementation
  • mm: Address map using SV39
  • sync: Wrap a static data structure inside it so that we are able to access it without any unsafe.
  • fs: Separate user from file system with some structures

The operating system also starts in this module. Kernel code starts executing from entry.asm, after which rust_main() is called to initialize various pieces of functionality. (See its source code for details.)

We then call task::run_tasks() and for the first time go to userspace.
