Sean Cross 124040bbb3 kernel: asm: align kernel stack to 16 bytes
The kernel stack offset should be aligned to 16 bytes. Previously it was
aligned to 8 bytes. It's unclear if this was the cause of any issues,
but it is best practice to keep things aligned to 16 bytes.

As part of this, key the atomic instructions off of the CPP macro
presence of atomic instructions.

Xous Kernel

This contains the core kernel for Xous. It requires a stage 1 loader in order to start up, as it assumes the system is already running in Supervisor mode.

Building

To build the kernel, you will need a riscv32 target for Rust. Possible targets include riscv32i-unknown-none-elf, riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf, or riscv32imac-unknown-xous-elf.

  1. Decide what target you want. For simple, embedded systems this could be riscv32i-unknown-none-elf, and for more complex systems with compressed instructions you could use riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf.
  2. Get Rust. Go to https://rustup.rs/ and follow its instructions.
  3. Install the proper toolchain: rustup target add ${target_arch}
  4. Build the kernel: cargo build --release --target ${target_arch}

Using

To use the kernel, you must package it up into an arguments binary with xous-tools.

Testing

TBD
