A kernel is defined with the mango_rt::kernel! macro. This defines:

• the name of the initialisation function (name)
• the name of the static instance (instance). It is recommended that this is set to KERNEL_INSTANCE.
• the arguments from the bootloader given to the main function (main_arguments).
• the list of devices defined by the kernel (devices).
• the device used for stdout (stdout).
• the scheduler used (scheduler).
• the list of applications (applications).

Example of use:

mango_rt::kernel!(
  name: hello_world_kernel,
  instance: KERNEL_INSTANCE,
  main_arguments: (boot_info: &'static bootloader::BootInfo),
  devices: {
    system: mango_hal::systems::x86_64::System => () / (boot_info),
    vga_output: mango_hal::io::VgaTextBuffer => () / (),
  },
  stdout: Some(&KERNEL_INSTANCE.vga_output),
  scheduler: mango_rt::schedulers::NoScheduler => (),
  applications: {
    hello_world: HelloWorld => ()
  }
);
