Synopsis

void * KrnAddExceptionHandler(
         uint8_t num,
         exhandler_t * handler,
         void * handlerData,
         void * handlerData2 );

Function

Register a CPU exception handler.

Inputs

num          - CPU-specific exception number.
handler      - Exception callback with the signature:
               int ExceptionHandler(void *ctx, void *handlerData,
                                    void *handlerData2);
handlerData  - First user-defined callback argument.
handlerData2 - Second user-defined callback argument.

Result

Opaque handler handle, or NULL if registration fails.

Notes

The ctx callback argument is an opaque CPU context handle.
Return a nonzero value from the callback to handle the exception and
continue execution. If every handler returns zero, the exception is
passed to the task's tc_TrapCode handler.

This interface is preliminary and should be treated as private.

Synopsis

void * KrnAllocPages(
         void * addr,
         uintptr_t length,
         uint32_t flags );

Function

Allocate physical memory pages

Inputs

addr   - Starting address of region which must be included in the
         allocated region or NULL for the system to choose the
         starting address. Normally you will supply NULL here.
length - Length of the memory region to allocate
flags  - Flags describing type of needed memory. These are the same
         flags as passed to exec.library/AllocMem().

Result

Real starting address of the allocated region.

Notes

Since this allocator is page-based, length will always be round up
to system's memory page size. The same applies to starting address
(if specified), it will be rounded down to page boundary.

This function works only on systems with MMU support. Without MMU
it will always return NULL.

Synopsis

ULONG KrnBacktraceFromFrame(
         APTR frame_in,
         APTR * out_pcs,
         ULONG max_depth );

Function

Walks the current call stack using frame-pointer chaining and stores
the return addresses into the provided array. The function starts from
the frame pointer value supplied in frame_in and follows the saved
link fields until the maximum depth is reached or the chain becomes
invalid.

This is a low-level helper used to capture a stack backtrace for
diagnostic and crash reporting purposes.

Inputs

frame_in   - Frame pointer of the starting stack frame. Typically this
             should be the current function's frame pointer.
out_pcs    - Pointer to an array of addresses which will receive the
             collected return addresses.
max_depth  - Maximum number of entries to store in the output array.

Result

Returns the number of valid entries written into the output array.

Example

APTR pcs[64];
ULONG depth;

depth = KrnBacktraceFromFrame((APTR)__builtin_frame_address(0), pcs, 64);
KrnPrintBacktrace("[Kernel] ", pcs, depth);

Notes

This function relies on standard frame-link conventions and requires
code to be compiled with frame pointers enabled (for GCC or Clang,
use -fno-omit-frame-pointer).

The function performs basic safety checks on the frame chain and stops
if the next frame pointer is invalid, unaligned, or lower than the
previous one. It is safe to call from an exception or trap context.

Bugs

The function may produce incomplete results if compiler optimizations
omit frame pointers, or if stack corruption has occurred prior to the
call.

         uint32_t code,
         const char * text );

Function

Inform the user about critical system failure.

Inputs

code - Corresponding alert code.
text - A NULL-terminated text to print out.

First three lines are assumed to be a header. Some implementations
may print them centered inside a frame.

Result

None. This function is not guaranteed to return.

Notes

This function exists for system internal purposes. Please do not
call it from within regular applications! In 99% of cases this function
will halt or reboot the machine. Certain structures in RAM, as well as
video hardware state, will be irreversibly destroyed.

'code' parameter is passed for convenience. Based on it, the system
can make a decision to log the alert in debug output and continue,
instead of displaying a message and halting.

This function is currently experimental. Its definition may change.

Synopsis

void KrnExitInterrupt(
         APTR ctx );

Function

Leave an interrupt using an architecture-defined saved context.

Inputs

Synopsis

void KrnPrintBacktrace(
         const STRPTR prefix,
         APTR * pcs,
         ULONG depth );

Function

Prints a formatted stack backtrace to the kernel debug output. Each
entry in the provided address list is optionally resolved to a module
and symbol name using the currently registered symbol resolver (if any).

The output includes one line per program counter, showing the address
and, when available, the function or symbol name with offset.

Inputs

prefix - Optional string prefix printed before the "Backtrace" header.
         If NULL, "[Kernel] " is used.
pcs    - Pointer to an array of program counter values representing the
         captured call stack.

KrnPrintBacktrace("[Crash] ", pcs, depth);

Notes

The function relies on an optional symbol resolver that can be
registered with KrnRegisterSymResolver(). If no resolver is present,
only raw addresses are printed.

This function is safe to call from exception and trap context.

Bugs

None known.

         struct TagItem * tstags );

void KrnRegisterClockSourceTags(
         APTR CSBase,
         TAG tag, ... );

Function

Select a clock source for the kernel when none is registered.

Inputs

CSBase - ClockSource resource base to register.
tstags - Tag list; unused by this implementation.

Notes

A NULL CSBase or an existing clock source leaves the selection
unchanged. Registration also requires AllocCSUnit() to succeed.

Synopsis

LONG KrnRegisterSymResolver(
         KrnSymResolver_t resolver,
         APTR priv );

Function

Registers a global kernel symbol resolver callback used for decoding
instruction addresses into symbolic names.

The resolver is used by the kernel when printing diagnostic backtraces
or exception dumps. Only one resolver can be active at any time. The
function fails if a resolver is already registered.

Inputs

resolver - Pointer to the resolver callback function. This function will
           be called by the kernel with an instruction address and must
           fill a KrnSymResolve structure with module and symbol
           information.
priv     - Optional user data pointer passed unmodified to the resolver
           each time it is invoked.

Result

Returns 0 on success, or a negative value on error:
    -1 — resolver argument was NULL
    -2 — a resolver is already registered

Example

static LONG MyResolver(APTR addr, struct KrnSymResolve *out, APTR priv)
{
    return DecodeLocationA(addr, priv);
}

if (KrnRegisterSymResolver(MyResolver, DebugBase) == 0)
    KrnBug("Symbol resolver registered.\n");

Notes

This API allows an external component (typically debug.library) to
provide symbol resolution for kernel stack traces. Once registered,
the resolver will be used automatically by KrnPrintBacktrace() and
the kernel crash handler.

The function is safe to call from user or supervisor context.

Bugs

Only one resolver can be registered globally. There is currently no
queuing or stacking mechanism.

Synopsis

LONG KrnUnregisterSymResolver(
         KrnSymResolver_t resolver );

Function

Unregisters the previously installed kernel symbol resolver callback.

The resolver function is used by the kernel to translate instruction
addresses into module and symbol information when printing diagnostic
or crash reports. Only one resolver can be active at a time.

Inputs

resolver - The resolver callback previously registered with
           KrnRegisterSymResolver(). If this value does not match
           the currently active resolver, no action is taken.

Result

0 if resolver matches the stored callback; -1 otherwise.

Example

if (old_resolver && KrnUnregisterSymResolver(old_resolver) == 0)
    KrnBug("Symbol resolver removed.\n");

Notes

The resolver is typically implemented by debug.library and used by the
kernel to produce symbolic backtraces when handling traps or exceptions.

The function performs no locking and is safe to call from within the
resolver itself, or from kernel exception context.

Bugs

None known.

Synopsis

void * KrnVirtualToPhysical(
         void * virtual );

Function

Translate a virtual address to a physical address.

Inputs

virtual - Virtual address to translate.

Result
