Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Resolved multiple issues in virtual memory management, including address masking, validation checks, spinlock usage, and proper cleanup of memory mappings.
    • Corrected scheduler logic to improve process preemption, quantum handling, and edge case management.
    • Added explicit CPU halting after panic or reboot to prevent unintended execution.
  • New Features

    • Introduced a header for boolean type definitions, providing bool, true, and false macros.
  • Improvements

    • Adjusted timer frequency constant for improved timing behavior.
    • Applied minor whitespace and code clarity enhancements in kernel output functions and process management.

Walkthrough

This update refactors core kernel components, focusing on virtual memory management, process scheduling, and panic handling. It introduces stricter address validation, corrects spinlock usage, and enhances error handling in memory operations. The scheduler logic is revised for accurate preemption and process state management. Boolean type definitions are standardized, and CPU halting is enforced on kernel panics.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
Kernel/Core/Kernel.c Removes manual boolean definitions; uses <stdbool.h>; cleans up whitespace in print functions.
Kernel/Core/stdbool.h Adds a header defining bool, true, and false for boolean support (if standard header unavailable).
Kernel/Core/Panic.c Adds infinite CPU halt loops after panic/reboot to ensure system halts after critical errors.
Kernel/Drivers/Pic.h Changes PIT_FREQUENCY_HZ constant from 1000 to 250.
Kernel/Memory/VMem.c Fixes address masking, adds address validation, corrects spinlock usage, improves memory tracking/cleanup.
Kernel/Process/Process.c Refactors FastSchedule for correct preemption, process state handling, and quantum management; minor inlines.

Poem

A kernel’s heart, with memory neat,
Now checks each address, no chance for defeat.
The scheduler’s dance is fair and bright,
With halted panics in the darkest night.
Booleans are true, and errors now stall—
This bunny hops proud of changes for all!
