Summary

  • Complete HAL trait implementations for x86_64 architecture
  • All 9 HAL traits now have full implementations enabling future ARM64 support
  • Validated with 138/138 boot stages passing

Changes

New Files:

  • kernel/src/arch_impl/x86_64/privilege.rs - X86PrivilegeLevel (Ring 0/3 abstraction)
  • kernel/src/arch_impl/x86_64/interrupt_frame.rs - X86InterruptFrame (interrupt context wrapper)
  • kernel/src/arch_impl/x86_64/pic.rs - X86Pic (PIC interrupt controller)

Modified Files:

  • kernel/src/arch_impl/x86_64/mod.rs - Added module declarations and re-exports
  • kernel/src/syscall/handler.rs - Added SyscallFrame trait implementation

HAL Traits Implemented

Trait Implementation Purpose
PrivilegeLevel X86PrivilegeLevel Ring 0/3 abstraction
InterruptFrame X86InterruptFrame Interrupt context access
SyscallFrame SyscallFrame Syscall argument access
InterruptController X86Pic PIC abstraction
CpuOps X86Cpu CPU control operations
TimerOps X86Timer TSC/timer operations
PageTableOps X86PageTableOps Page table operations
PageFlags X86PageFlags Page table flags
PerCpuOps X86PerCpu Per-CPU data access

Test plan

  • cargo build --release compiles with zero errors
  • cargo run -p xtask -- boot-stages passes 138/138 stages
  • Technical validation: A (Technical Accuracy), A (Intellectual Honesty)

This commit introduces a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that isolates
x86_64-specific code behind traits, enabling future ARM64 support.

New arch_impl module structure:
- arch_impl/mod.rs: Module root with `current` alias for active arch
- arch_impl/traits.rs: Architecture-agnostic traits (9 traits)
  - PrivilegeLevel, InterruptFrame, PageFlags, PageTableOps
  - PerCpuOps, SyscallFrame, TimerOps, InterruptController, CpuOps
- arch_impl/x86_64/: x86_64 implementations
  - constants.rs: 76+ centralized x86_64 constants
  - cpu.rs: CpuOps (halt, interrupt control)
  - paging.rs: PageTableOps (CR3, CR4, TLB, page flags)
  - percpu.rs: PerCpuOps (GS-relative access, MSRs)
  - timer.rs: TimerOps (TSC, PIT calibration)

Refactored modules to use HAL:
- time/tsc.rs: Delegates TSC operations to HAL timer
- per_cpu.rs: Uses HAL for GS base MSR operations
- memory/paging.rs: Uses HAL for CR3/CR4/TLB operations
- interrupts.rs: Uses HAL for TLB flush, halt, CR2 reading

~143 x86_64 crate usages remain outside HAL (context_switch.rs,
gdt.rs, serial.rs, etc.) for future refactoring.

Implement all missing HAL trait implementations for x86_64:

- X86PrivilegeLevel: Ring 0/3 abstraction implementing PrivilegeLevel trait
- X86InterruptFrame: Wrapper around InterruptStackFrame implementing InterruptFrame trait
- X86Pic: PIC controller implementing InterruptController trait
- SyscallFrame: Add trait implementation with arg1-6() accessors

All 9 HAL traits now have complete x86_64 implementations:
- PrivilegeLevel, InterruptFrame, SyscallFrame, InterruptController
- CpuOps, TimerOps, PageTableOps, PageFlags, PerCpuOps

Validated: 138/138 boot stages pass.
