* 4614 - redo simulated RAMKartik Agaram2018-09-291-19/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | Now simulated 'Memory' isn't just a single flat array. Instead it knows about segments and VMAs. The code segment will always be first, and the data/heap segment will always be second. The brk() syscall knows about the data segment. One nice side-effect is that I no longer need to mess with Memory initialization regardless of where I place my segments.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Streamline the factorial function; we don't need to save a stack variable into a register before operating on it. All instructions can take a stack variable directly. In the process we found two bugs: a) Opcode f7 was not implemented correctly. It was internally consistent but I'd never validated it against a natively running program. Turns out it encodes multiple instructions, not just 'not'. b) The way we look up imm32 operands was sometimes reading them before disp8/disp32 operands.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out I had totally the wrong idea. The stack at the start of the program doesn't contain 2 words, one for argc and a second for argv that must then be dereferenced to get to its contents (each a pointer to a string). It contains a word for argc, one for argv[0], another for argv[1], and so on. Many thanks to Jeremiah Orians and the #bootstrappable channel on freenode for showing me https://github.com/oriansj/mescc-tools/blob/master/test/test5/exec_enable_amd64.M1 which set me straight. I could just pop the args like that example does, but it seems slightly more elegant, given the current calling convention, to assume the imaginary caller handles the popping.

| | | | | | | | | | | The new example ex9 doesn't yet work natively. In the process I've emulated the kernel's role in providing args, implemented a couple of instructions acting on 8-bit operands (useful for ASCII string operations), and begun the start of the standard library (ascii_length is the same as strlen). At the level of SubX we're just only going to support ASCII.
