minix/kernel/system.c

/* This task handles the interface between the kernel and user-level servers.
 * System services can be accessed by doing a system call. System calls are 
 * transformed into request messages, which are handled by this task. By 
 * convention, a sys_call() is transformed in a SYS_CALL request message that
 * is handled in a function named do_call(). 
 *
 * A private call vector is used to map all system calls to the functions that
 * handle them. The actual handler functions are contained in separate files
 * to keep this file clean. The call vector is used in the system task's main
 * loop to handle all incoming requests.  
 *
 * In addition to the main sys_task() entry point, which starts the main loop,
 * there are several other minor entry points:
 *   get_priv:		assign privilege structure to user or system process
 *   set_sendto_bit:	allow a process to send messages to a new target
 *   unset_sendto_bit:	disallow a process from sending messages to a target
 *   send_sig:		send a signal directly to a system process
 *   cause_sig:		take action to cause a signal to occur via PM
 *   umap_bios:		map virtual address in BIOS_SEG to physical 
 *   get_randomness:	accumulate randomness in a buffer
 *   clear_endpoint:	remove a process' ability to send and receive messages
 *
 * Changes:
 *   Aug 04, 2005   check if system call is allowed  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Jul 20, 2005   send signal to services with message  (Jorrit N. Herder) 
 *   Jan 15, 2005   new, generalized virtual copy function  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Oct 10, 2004   dispatch system calls from call vector  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Sep 30, 2004   source code documentation updated  (Jorrit N. Herder)
