The build method was full of workarounds, plus I do not really see the point in having this upstream given Limine is now downstream in nixpkgs. For everthing else the 'nix develop' environment suffices.
This packages Limine in Nix and exports it via the Nix Flake.
Due to the nature of the project, i.e., the self-hacked
"git submodule checkout with additional patches" in `./bootstrap`,
packing this in a Nix-way is very complicated.
The big advantage of packaging Limine in Nix directly as part
of the flake (additionally to nixpkgs) is that instead of using a
fixed version from nixpkgs coming from a Limine release, one can
use the current source and build everything in Nix.
* initial riscv64 port
* enable Paging Mode feature for all architectures
* riscv: add missing protocol docs
* riscv: fix tests
* docs: clarify `LIMINE_PAGING_MODE_DEFAULT` macro
* build: fix whitespace in common/GNUmakefile
* riscv: default to Sv48 paging when supported
* vmm: make `VMM_MAX_LEVEL` 1-indexed
* limine: do not call `reported_addr()` before finaling paging mode
smp/riscv: do not overwrite the argument passed to APs
* limine/riscv: update default paging mode in limine.h
* test/riscv: pad OVMF.fd when downloading it
* Initial aarch64 port
* Enable chainload on aarch64
No changes necessary since it's all UEFI anyway.
* Add specification for Limine protocol for aarch64
* PROTOCOL: Specify state of information in DT /chosen node
* common: Add spinup code for aarch64
* common: Port elf and term to aarch64
* common: Port vmm to aarch64
Also prepare to drop VMM_FLAG_PRESENT on x86.
* protos: Port limine boot protocol to aarch64
Also drop VMM_FLAG_PRESENT since we never unmap pages anyway.
* test: Add DTB request
* PROTOCOL: Port SMP request to aarch64
* cpu: Add cache maintenance functions for aarch64
* protos/limine, sys: Port SMP to aarch64
Also move common asm macros into a header file.
* test: Start up APs
* vmm: Unify get_next_level and implement large page splitting
* protos/limine: Map framebuffer using correct caching mode on AArch64
* CI: Fix GCC build for aarch64
* entry, menu: Replace uses of naked attribute with separate asm file
GCC does not understand the naked attribute on aarch64, and didn't
understand it for x86 in older versions.
