Trap handling functionality
For rCore, we have a single trap entry point, namely __alltraps
. At
initialization in init()
, we set the stvec
CSR to point to it.
All traps go through __alltraps
, which is defined in trap.S
. The
assembly language code does just enough work restore the kernel space
context, ensuring that Rust code safely runs, and transfers control to
trap_handler()
.
It then calls different functionality based on what exactly the exception
was. For example, timer interrupts trigger task preemption, and syscalls go
to syscall()
.
