Sean Cross 23e759ffd8 kernel: fix multi-page lending
Due to several errors, multi-page lending did not work properly.

To begin with, if a page was not allocated then it would not be able to
be sent. That is, if you allocated 8192 bytes but only ever accessed the
first 4096 bytes, then an error would be encountered when lending the
unaccessed upper page.

Furthermore, due to a striding error in accessing pointers, half-pages
were treated as full pages.

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
