Split block/character protocols and libdriver This patch separates the character and block driver communication protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly. Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its own message loop. The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or result in an error. After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows: - block protocol: stable - libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication - libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API in particular; the threading API will also change shortly) - character protocol: needs cleanup - libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly - driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are reintroduced As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc -Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a few new ones, too. Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk must be used to mount all file systems.

Input infrastructure, INPUT server, PCKBD driver This commit separates the low-level keyboard driver from TTY, putting it in a separate driver (PCKBD). The commit also separates management of raw input devices from TTY, and puts it in a separate server (INPUT). All keyboard and mouse input from hardware is sent by drivers to the INPUT server, which either sends it to a process that has opened a raw input device, or otherwise forwards it to TTY for standard processing. Design by Dirk Vogt. Prototype by Uli Kastlunger. Additional changes made to the prototype: - the event communication is now based on USB HID codes; all input drivers have to use USB codes to describe events; - all TTY keymaps have been converted to USB format, with the effect that a single keymap covers all keys; there is no (static) escaped keymap anymore; - further keymap tweaks now allow remapping of literally all keys; - input device renumbering and protocol rewrite; - INPUT server rewrite, with added support for cancel and select; - PCKBD reimplementation, including PC/AT-to-USB translation; - support for manipulating keyboard LEDs has been added; - keyboard and mouse multiplexer devices have been added to INPUT, primarily so that an X server need only open two devices; - a new "libinputdriver" library abstracts away protocol details from input drivers, and should be used by all future input drivers; - both INPUT and PCKBD can be restarted; - TTY is now scheduled by KERNEL, so that it won't be punished for running a lot; without this, simply running "yes" on the console kills the system; - the KIOCBELL IOCTL has been moved to /dev/console; - support for the SCANCODES termios setting has been removed; - obsolete keymap compression has been removed; - the obsolete Olivetti M24 keymap has been removed.

Driver refactory for live update and crash recovery. SYSLIB CHANGES: - DS calls to publish / retrieve labels consider endpoints instead of u32_t. VFS CHANGES: - mapdriver() only adds an entry in the dmap table in VFS. - dev_up() is only executed upon reception of a driver up event. INET CHANGES: - INET no longer searches for existing drivers instances at startup. - A newtwork driver is (re)initialized upon reception of a driver up event. - Networking startup is now race-free by design. No need to waste 5 seconds at startup any more. DRIVER CHANGES: - Every driver publishes driver up events when starting for the first time or in case of restart when recovery actions must be taken in the upper layers. - Driver up events are published by drivers through DS. - For regular drivers, VFS is normally the only subscriber, but not necessarily. For instance, when the filter driver is in use, it must subscribe to driver up events to initiate recovery. - For network drivers, inet is the only subscriber for now. - Every VFS driver is statically linked with libdriver, every network driver is statically linked with libnetdriver. DRIVER LIBRARIES CHANGES: - Libdriver is extended to provide generic receive() and ds_publish() interfaces for VFS drivers. - driver_receive() is a wrapper for sef_receive() also used in driver_task() to discard spurious messages that were meant to be delivered to a previous version of the driver. - driver_receive_mq() is the same as driver_receive() but integrates support for queued messages. - driver_announce() publishes a driver up event for VFS drivers and marks the driver as initialized and expecting a DEV_OPEN message. - Libnetdriver is introduced to provide similar receive() and ds_publish() interfaces for network drivers (netdriver_announce() and netdriver_receive()). - Network drivers all support live update with no state transfer now. KERNEL CHANGES: - Added kernel call statectl for state management. Used by driver_announce() to unblock eventual callers sendrecing to the driver.

DRIVER LIBRARIES CHANGES: - Libdriver is extended to provide generic receive() and ds_publish() interfaces for VFS drivers. - driver_receive() is a wrapper for sef_receive() also used in driver_task() to discard spurious messages that were meant to be delivered to a previous version of the driver. - driver_receive_mq() is the same as driver_receive() but integrates support for queued messages. - driver_announce() publishes a driver up event for VFS drivers and marks the driver as initialized and expecting a DEV_OPEN message. - Libnetdriver is introduced to provide similar receive() and ds_publish() interfaces for network drivers (netdriver_announce() and netdriver_receive()). - Network drivers all support live update with no state transfer now. KERNEL CHANGES: - Added kernel call statectl for state management. Used by driver_announce() to unblock eventual callers sendrecing to the driver.

Driver refactory for live update and crash recovery. SYSLIB CHANGES: - DS calls to publish / retrieve labels consider endpoints instead of u32_t. VFS CHANGES: - mapdriver() only adds an entry in the dmap table in VFS. - dev_up() is only executed upon reception of a driver up event. INET CHANGES: - INET no longer searches for existing drivers instances at startup. - A newtwork driver is (re)initialized upon reception of a driver up event. - Networking startup is now race-free by design. No need to waste 5 seconds at startup any more.

Split block/character protocols and libdriver This patch separates the character and block driver communication protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly. Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its own message loop. The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or result in an error. After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows: - block protocol: stable - libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication - libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API in particular; the threading API will also change shortly) - character protocol: needs cleanup - libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly - driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are reintroduced As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc -Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a few new ones, too. Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk must be used to mount all file systems.

Input infrastructure, INPUT server, PCKBD driver This commit separates the low-level keyboard driver from TTY, putting it in a separate driver (PCKBD). The commit also separates management of raw input devices from TTY, and puts it in a separate server (INPUT). All keyboard and mouse input from hardware is sent by drivers to the INPUT server, which either sends it to a process that has opened a raw input device, or otherwise forwards it to TTY for standard processing. Design by Dirk Vogt. Prototype by Uli Kastlunger. Additional changes made to the prototype: - the event communication is now based on USB HID codes; all input drivers have to use USB codes to describe events; - all TTY keymaps have been converted to USB format, with the effect that a single keymap covers all keys; there is no (static) escaped keymap anymore; - further keymap tweaks now allow remapping of literally all keys; - input device renumbering and protocol rewrite; - INPUT server rewrite, with added support for cancel and select; - PCKBD reimplementation, including PC/AT-to-USB translation; - support for manipulating keyboard LEDs has been added; - keyboard and mouse multiplexer devices have been added to INPUT, primarily so that an X server need only open two devices; - a new "libinputdriver" library abstracts away protocol details from input drivers, and should be used by all future input drivers; - both INPUT and PCKBD can be restarted; - TTY is now scheduled by KERNEL, so that it won't be punished for running a lot; without this, simply running "yes" on the console kills the system; - the KIOCBELL IOCTL has been moved to /dev/console; - support for the SCANCODES termios setting has been removed; - obsolete keymap compression has been removed; - the obsolete Olivetti M24 keymap has been removed.

Split block/character protocols and libdriver This patch separates the character and block driver communication protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly. Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its own message loop. The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or result in an error. After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows: - block protocol: stable - libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication - libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API in particular; the threading API will also change shortly) - character protocol: needs cleanup - libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly - driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are reintroduced As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc -Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a few new ones, too. Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk must be used to mount all file systems.

The commit also separates management of raw input devices from TTY, and puts it in a separate server (INPUT). All keyboard and mouse input from hardware is sent by drivers to the INPUT server, which either sends it to a process that has opened a raw input device, or otherwise forwards it to TTY for standard processing. Design by Dirk Vogt. Prototype by Uli Kastlunger. Additional changes made to the prototype: - the event communication is now based on USB HID codes; all input drivers have to use USB codes to describe events; - all TTY keymaps have been converted to USB format, with the effect that a single keymap covers all keys; there is no (static) escaped keymap anymore; - further keymap tweaks now allow remapping of literally all keys; - input device renumbering and protocol rewrite; - INPUT server rewrite, with added support for cancel and select; - PCKBD reimplementation, including PC/AT-to-USB translation; - support for manipulating keyboard LEDs has been added; - keyboard and mouse multiplexer devices have been added to INPUT, primarily so that an X server need only open two devices; - a new "libinputdriver" library abstracts away protocol details from input drivers, and should be used by all future input drivers; - both INPUT and PCKBD can be restarted; - TTY is now scheduled by KERNEL, so that it won't be punished for running a lot; without this, simply running "yes" on the console kills the system; - the KIOCBELL IOCTL has been moved to /dev/console; - support for the SCANCODES termios setting has been removed; - obsolete keymap compression has been removed; - the obsolete Olivetti M24 keymap has been removed.
