* System calls are transformed into request messages to the SYS task that is
* responsible for handling the call. By convention, sys_call() is transformed
* into a message with type SYS_CALL that is handled in a function do_call().
Moved "Changes" comments from system/do_....c to system.h. All changes are now in a single header file.

* Changes:
New RS and new signal handling for system processes. UPDATING INFO: 20100317: /usr/src/etc/system.conf updated to ignore default kernel calls: copy it (or merge it) to /etc/system.conf. The hello driver (/dev/hello) added to the distribution: # cd /usr/src/commands/scripts && make clean install # cd /dev && MAKEDEV hello KERNEL CHANGES: - Generic signal handling support. The kernel no longer assumes PM as a signal manager for every process. The signal manager of a given process can now be specified in its privilege slot. When a signal has to be delivered, the kernel performs the lookup and forwards the signal to the appropriate signal manager. PM is the default signal manager for user processes, RS is the default signal manager for system processes. To enable ptrace()ing for system processes, it is sufficient to change the default signal manager to PM. This will temporarily disable crash recovery, though. - sys_exit() is now split into sys_exit() (i.e. exit() for system processes, which generates a self-termination signal), and sys_clear() (i.e. used by PM to ask the kernel to clear a process slot when a process exits). - Added a new kernel call (i.e. sys_update()) to swap two process slots and implement live update. PM CHANGES: - Posix signal handling is no longer allowed for system processes. System signals are split into two fixed categories: termination and non-termination signals. When a non-termination signaled is processed, PM transforms the signal into an IPC message and delivers the message to the system process. When a termination signal is processed, PM terminates the process. - PM no longer assumes itself as the signal manager for system processes. It now makes sure that every system signal goes through the kernel before being actually processes. The kernel will then dispatch the signal to the appropriate signal manager which may or may not be PM. SYSLIB CHANGES: - Simplified SEF init and LU callbacks. - Added additional predefined SEF callbacks to debug crash recovery and live update. - Fixed a temporary ack in the SEF init protocol. SEF init reply is now completely synchronous. - Added SEF signal event type to provide a uniform interface for system processes to deal with signals. A sef_cb_signal_handler() callback is available for system processes to handle every received signal. A sef_cb_signal_manager() callback is used by signal managers to process system signals on behalf of the kernel. - Fixed a few bugs with memory mapping and DS. VM CHANGES: - Page faults and memory requests coming from the kernel are now implemented using signals. - Added a new VM call to swap two process slots and implement live update. - The call is used by RS at update time and in turn invokes the kernel call sys_update(). RS CHANGES: - RS has been reworked with a better functional decomposition. - Better kernel call masks. com.h now defines the set of very basic kernel calls every system service is allowed to use. This makes system.conf simpler and easier to maintain. In addition, this guarantees a higher level of isolation for system libraries that use one or more kernel calls internally (e.g. printf). - RS is the default signal manager for system processes. By default, RS intercepts every signal delivered to every system process. This makes crash recovery possible before bringing PM and friends in the loop. - RS now supports fast rollback when something goes wrong while initializing the new version during a live update. - Live update is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side and swapping the process slots when the old version is ready to update. - Crash recovery is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side and cleaning up the old version only when the recovery process is complete. DS CHANGES: - Fixed a bug when the process doing ds_publish() or ds_delete() is not known by DS. - Fixed the completely broken support for strings. String publishing is now implemented in the system library and simply wraps publishing of memory ranges. Ideally, we should adopt a similar approach for other data types as well. - Test suite fixed. DRIVER CHANGES: - The hello driver has been added to the Minix distribution to demonstrate basic live update and crash recovery functionalities. - Other drivers have been adapted to conform the new SEF interface.

/* Common includes for the system library. */
'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>. proc number -> endpoint migration . proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e. . m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of proc number. . isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot, indicating an old process). . okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints, and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should always be correct. . if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt() get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number (out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number), with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy without having to include code for every call to print where things went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call), sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source). . some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's become and endpoint. . process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number. it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except when fork()ing, so it's decoded then. . kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers. the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot to put the child.

/* Default handler for unused kernel calls. */
This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the kernel (sys task). The main reason is that these would have to become cpu local variables on SMP. Once the system task is not a task but a genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and back again all the time will be avoided. Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is the syscall being executed. This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers. Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f() in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had not been called from the system task. virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

In addition, this guarantees a higher level of isolation for system libraries that use one or more kernel calls internally (e.g. printf). - RS is the default signal manager for system processes. By default, RS intercepts every signal delivered to every system process. This makes crash recovery possible before bringing PM and friends in the loop. - RS now supports fast rollback when something goes wrong while initializing the new version during a live update. - Live update is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side and swapping the process slots when the old version is ready to update. - Crash recovery is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side and cleaning up the old version only when the recovery process is complete. DS CHANGES: - Fixed a bug when the process doing ds_publish() or ds_delete() is not known by DS. - Fixed the completely broken support for strings. String publishing is now implemented in the system library and simply wraps publishing of memory ranges. Ideally, we should adopt a similar approach for other data types as well. - Test suite fixed. DRIVER CHANGES: - The hello driver has been added to the Minix distribution to demonstrate basic live update and crash recovery functionalities. - Other drivers have been adapted to conform the new SEF interface.

This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the kernel (sys task). The main reason is that these would have to become cpu local variables on SMP. Once the system task is not a task but a genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and back again all the time will be avoided. Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is the syscall being executed. This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers. Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f() in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had not been called from the system task. virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

- Fixed comments in various system call handlers. Work in progress on new sys_privctl() call to dynamically start servers and drivers. - Shutdown sequence slightly adjusted: called as watchdog timer to let the busy sys_abort() call from the PM return first. - Changed umap_bios() to have more restrictive check: BIOS memory is now allowed in BIOS_MEM_BEGIN to END (interrupt vectors) and BASE_MEM_TOP to UPPER_MEM_END. Hopefully this keeps QEMU and Bochs happy.

This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the kernel (sys task). The main reason is that these would have to become cpu local variables on SMP. Once the system task is not a task but a genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and back again all the time will be avoided. Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is the syscall being executed. This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers. Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f() in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had not been called from the system task. virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

Userspace scheduling - cotributed by Bjorn Swift - In this first phase, scheduling is moved from the kernel to the PM server. The next steps are to a) moving scheduling to its own server and b) include useful information in the "out of quantum" message, so that the scheduler can make use of this information. - The kernel process table now keeps record of who is responsible for scheduling each process (p_scheduler). When this pointer is NULL, the process will be scheduled by the kernel. If such a process runs out of quantum, the kernel will simply renew its quantum an requeue it. - When PM loads, it will take over scheduling of all running processes, except system processes, using sys_schedctl(). Essentially, this only results in taking over init. As children inherit a scheduler from their parent, user space programs forked by init will inherit PM (for now) as their scheduler. - Once a process has been assigned a scheduler, and runs out of quantum, its RTS_NO_QUANTUM flag will be set and the process dequeued. The kernel will send a message to the scheduler, on the process' behalf, informing the scheduler that it has run out of quantum. The scheduler can take what ever action it pleases, based on its policy, and then reschedule the process using the sys_schedule() system call. - Balance queues does not work as before. While the old in-kernel function used to renew the quantum of processes in the highest priority run queue, the user-space implementation only acts on processes that have been bumped down to a lower priority queue. This approach reacts slower to changes than the old one, but saves us sending a sys_schedule message for each process every time we balance the queues. Currently, when processes are moved up a priority queue, their quantum is also renewed, but this can be fiddled with. - do_nice has been removed from kernel. PM answers to get- and setpriority calls, updates it's own nice variable as well as the max_run_queue. This will be refactored once scheduling is moved to a separate server. We will probably have PM update it's local nice value and then send a message to whoever is scheduling the process. - changes to fix an issue in do_fork() where processes could run out of quantum but bypassing the code path that handles it correctly. The future plan is to remove the policy from do_fork() and implement it in userspace too.

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.
