Trap source code analysis

1. Raised by system call
2. Abnormal occurrence
3. Equipment interruption (time interruption, IO interruption, network interruption, etc.)

What is the difference between user mode and kernel mode? In fact, the difference is small:

One of the things is that you can now read and write control registers. For example, when you are in supervisor mode, you can: read and write the SATP register, that is, the pointer to page table; STVEC, that is, the instruction address of the kernel processing trap; SEPC, save the program counter when trap occurs; SSCRATCH, etc. In supervisor mode, you can read and write these registers, but user code cannot do so.

Another thing supervisor mode can do is that it can use PTE_ PTE with u flag bit 0 (see page table item for details) Page table ). When PTE_ When the U flag bit is 1, it indicates that the user code can use this page table; If this flag bit is 0, only supervisor mode can use this page table.

This is the only thing that super mode can do.

The system uses the ecall instruction to perform system calls

First, ecall changes the code from user mode to supervisor mode

Second, ecall saves the value of the program counter in the SEPC register.

Third, ecall will jump to the instruction pointed to by the STVEC register trampoline.S

with exec System Call For example.

First, the exec function is invoked in the user program. When the compiler parses the exec function, it does not call its source code. Instead, it writes the number of the Exec System call into the A7 register, executes the ecall instruction, and the ecall instruction will jump to trampoline.S.

The system has entered the kernel state from the user state, but the page table is still the user page table. trampoline.S mainly uses trapFrame (Appendix) saves the system state and user register for restoring the user process. This operation also realizes the user process's non perception of process switching. After storing the state to be stored in the user page table, the system will switch the kernel page table and execute the corresponding kernel code, that is, the usertrap function.

usertrap calls the corresponding processing function according to the different conditions of the trap (the interrupt reason is stored in the scause register).

The following code is the source code of the operating system, which contains a lot of details. What you need to know is the whole process and system. Don't pay too much attention to details

1. First, we need to save 32 user registers. Because obviously we need to resume the execution of the user application, especially when the user application is randomly interrupted by a device interrupt. (store user registers)
2. The program counter also needs to be saved somewhere. It is almost the same as a user register. We need to be able to continue to execute the user program where the user program is interrupted. (store some system registers such as PC)
3. We need to change the mode to supervisor mode because we want to use all kinds of privileged instructions in the kernel. (modify operation mode)
4. The SATP(Supervisor Address Translation and Protection) register is now pointing to the user page table, which only contains the memory mapping and one or two other mappings required by the user program. It does not contain the memory mapping of the whole kernel data. Therefore, before running the kernel code, we need to point the SATP to the kernel page table. (modify SATP to obtain the page table of the kernel)
5. We need to point the stack register to an address in the kernel, because we need a stack to call the kernel's C function. (convert to kernel stack)
6. Once we set it up and all the hardware states are suitable for use in the kernel, we need to jump into the C code usertrap function of the kernel.
