SYSTEM FEATURES
================================================================================
Exception Handling (12 types)
• Undefined Instruction → process kill
• SVC Call (syscall) → dispatcher
• Prefetch Abort (code fault) → page fault
• Data Abort (load/store fault) → page fault or kill
• IRQ (external) → PLIC dispatch
• FIQ (fast) → priority interrupt
Virtual Memory
• 2-level page tables (L1=4096 entries, L2=256 entries)
• 4KB pages + 1MB sections
• Page allocation (buddy allocator)
• TLB: 32 entries, flushable by VA/ASID/global
• Page fault handling with recovery
• mmap/munmap with rollback
Process Management
• Process: PID, state, address space, fd table, trap frame
• States: READY, RUNNING, BLOCKED, ZOMBIE
• fork: clones address space, trap frame, fd table
• exec: replaces image, jumps to entry point
• exit: closes fds, frees memory, becomes zombie
• kill: terminates and frees resources
• reap: collects zombie children
Scheduling
• Preemptive round-robin (32 priority levels)
• Time slice = 10ms (configurable)
• Context switch: r0-r15, spsr, sp swap
• Reschedule on timer tick
• Ready queue management
Device I/O
• UART0 @ 0x4806A000 (kernel console)
• UART1 @ 0x4806C000 (user I/O)
