Enablement (Rust)
=================
Tasks that are not directly related to nova-core, but are preconditions in terms
of required APIs.
-FromPrimitive API
------------------
+FromPrimitive API [FPRI]
+------------------------
Sometimes the need arises to convert a number to a value of an enum or a
structure.
| Complexity: Beginner
| Link: https://docs.rs/num/latest/num/trait.FromPrimitive.html
-Generic register abstraction
-----------------------------
+Conversion from byte slices for types implementing FromBytes [TRSM]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+We retrieve several structures from byte streams coming from the BIOS or loaded
+firmware. At the moment converting the bytes slice into the proper type require
+an inelegant `unsafe` operation; this will go away once `FromBytes` implements
+a proper `from_bytes` method.
+
+| Complexity: Beginner
+
+CoherentAllocation improvements [COHA]
+--------------------------------------
+
+`CoherentAllocation` needs a safe way to write into the allocation, and to
+obtain slices within the allocation.
+
+| Complexity: Beginner
+| Contact: Abdiel Janulgue
+
+Generic register abstraction [REGA]
+-----------------------------------
Work out how register constants and structures can be automatically generated
through generalized macros.
let boot0 = Boot0::read(&bar);
pr_info!("Revision: {}\n", boot0.revision());
-Note: a work-in-progress implementation currently resides in
+A work-in-progress implementation currently resides in
`drivers/gpu/nova-core/regs/macros.rs` and is used in nova-core. It would be
nice to improve it (possibly using proc macros) and move it to the `kernel`
crate so it can be used by other components as well.
+Features desired before this happens:
+
+* Relative register with build-time base address validation,
+* Arrays of registers with build-time index validation,
+* Make I/O optional I/O (for field values that are not registers),
+* Support other sizes than `u32`,
+* Allow visibility control for registers and individual fields,
+* Use Rust slice syntax to express fields ranges.

-Delay / Sleep abstractions
---------------------------
+Numerical operations [NUMM]
+---------------------------
+
+Nova uses integer operations that are not part of the standard library (or not
+implemented in an optimized way for the kernel). These include:
+
+- Aligning up and down to a power of two,
+- The "Find Last Set Bit" (`fls` function of the C part of the kernel)
+ operation.
+
+A `num` core kernel module is being designed to provide these operations.

+
+Delay / Sleep abstractions [DLAY]
+---------------------------------
Rust abstractions for the kernel's delay() and sleep() functions.
| Complexity: Intermediate

-ELF utils
----------
-
-Rust implementation of ELF header representation to retrieve section header
-tables, names, and data from an ELF-formatted images.
-
-There is preceding work from Abdiel Janulgue, which hasn't made it to the
-mailing list yet.

PCI MISC APIs
-------------
| Complexity: Beginner
-Auxiliary bus abstractions
---------------------------
-
-Rust abstraction for the auxiliary bus APIs.
+XArray bindings [XARR]
+----------------------
-This is needed to connect nova-core to the nova-drm driver.
+We need bindings for `xa_alloc`/`xa_alloc_cyclic` in order to generate the
+auxiliary device IDs.
