As of now, everything except the code imported
from FreeBSD is proprietary. Of course, it won't
be like this for long, only until we have decided
which license we like to use. The rationale is
that releasing everything under a copyleft license
later is always easier than doing so immediately
and then changing it afterwards.
Naturally, any changes made before this commit are
still subject to the terms of the CNPL.
That's it, nothing major is gonna happen anymore
until i get amd64 support working and deprecate
the entire i386 branch. 32-bit just adds so many
extra complications to memory management that i
don't want to waste any more energy on this
platform which is obsolete anyway.
Oh my fucking god this was by far the most awful
and boring and tedious day in my entire life.
Also, dear FreeBSD people: please don't sue me.
I tried really hard to comply with all the
copyright stuff, but it is absolutely possible i
made a mistake. Just DM me and i'll do everything
in my power to fix it, even if that means
releasing entire portions of GayBSD under the BSD
license. I don't care, i just want stuff to work.
(i'm including this message to use it as possible
evidence in case i get sued to show my good will)
So this was painful. kprintf() supports most of
the format specifiers from BSD now, except for the
$ sequence. It has gotten a general overhaul and
is significantly more sophisticated, bloated and
slower now. There is also some minor stuff i
forgot about, like the 't' length modifier, but
that isn't so important right now and will be
fixed later(TM).
Turns out you can't pass a va_list to subroutines
as per the C standard, even though it worked
perfectly fine on ARM. Well then, the entire
kprintf thing needs to be refactored anyway at
some point in the future, so that more formatting
options are supported.
Turns out writing your own bootloader from scratch
is something you probably don't wanna be bothered
with when your main goal is writing an entire
operating system. Blessed be the souls of the
maniacs who gave us GRUB, and punched be their
faces for writing such inconsistent documentation.
