Sean 1b59719a74 kernel: hosted: support per-thread memory messages
Previously, each process could return one chunk of memory. With this
change, processes can now return one chunk of memory per thread. This
enables multiple threads to lend memory to a server.

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
