/*===========================================================================*
* do_vmctl *
*===========================================================================*/
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.

Primary goal for these changes is: - no longer have kernel have its own page table that is loaded on every kernel entry (trap, interrupt, exception). the primary purpose is to reduce the number of required reloads. Result: - kernel can only access memory of process that was running when kernel was entered - kernel must be mapped into every process page table, so traps to kernel keep working Problem: - kernel must often access memory of arbitrary processes (e.g. send arbitrary processes messages); this can't happen directly any more; usually because that process' page table isn't loaded at all, sometimes because that memory isn't mapped in at all, sometimes because it isn't mapped in read-write. So: - kernel must be able to map in memory of any process, in its own address space. Implementation: - VM and kernel share a range of memory in which addresses of all page tables of all processes are available. This has two purposes: . Kernel has to know what data to copy in order to map in a range . Kernel has to know where to write the data in order to map it in That last point is because kernel has to write in the currently loaded page table. - Processes and kernel are separated through segments; kernel segments haven't changed. - The kernel keeps the process whose page table is currently loaded in 'ptproc.' - If it wants to map in a range of memory, it writes the value of the page directory entry for that range into the page directory entry in the currently loaded map. There is a slot reserved for such purposes. The kernel can then access this memory directly. - In order to do this, its segment has been increased (and the segments of processes start where it ends). - In the pagefault handler, detect if the kernel is doing 'trappable' memory access (i.e. a pagefault isn't a fatal error) and if so, - set the saved instruction pointer to phys_copy_fault, breaking out of phys_copy - set the saved eax register to the address of the page fault, both for sanity checking and for checking in which of the two ranges that phys_copy was called with the fault occured - Some boot-time processes do not have their own page table, and are mapped in with the kernel, and separated with segments. The kernel detects this using HASPT. If such a process has to be scheduled, any page table will work and no page table switch is done. Major changes in kernel are - When accessing user processes memory, kernel no longer explicitly checks before it does so if that memory is OK. It simply makes the mapping (if necessary), tries to do the operation, and traps the pagefault if that memory isn't present; if that happens, the copy function returns EFAULT. So all of the CHECKRANGE_OR_SUSPEND macros are gone. - Kernel no longer has to copy/read and parse page tables. - A message copying optimisation: when messages are copied, and the recipient isn't mapped in, they are copied into a buffer in the kernel. This is done in QueueMess. The next time the recipient is scheduled, this message is copied into its memory. This happens in schedcheck(). This eliminates the mapping/copying step for messages, and makes it easier to deliver messages. This eliminates soft_notify. - Kernel no longer creates a page table at all, so the vm_setbuf and pagetable writing in memory.c is gone. Minor changes in kernel are - ipc_stats thrown out, wasn't used - misc flags all renamed to MF_* - NOREC_* macros to enter and leave functions that should not be called recursively; just sanity checks really - code to fully decode segment selectors and descriptors to print on exceptions - lots of vmassert()s added, only executed if DEBUG_VMASSERT is 1

KCall methods do not depend on m_source and m_type fields - substituted the use of the m_source message field by caller->p_endpoint in kernel calls. It is the same information, just passed more intuitively. - the last dependency on m_type field is removed. - do_unused() is substituted by a check for NULL. - this pretty much removes the depency of kernel calls on the general message format. In the future this may be used to pass the kcall arguments in a different structure or registers (x86-64, ARM?) The kcall number may be passed in a register already.

panic() cleanup. this change - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting - no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone - vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy. the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g. panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno); looks like: at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0 syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines (messes up the formatting) in panic() - throws out a few per-server panic() functions - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic() merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.

Result: - kernel can only access memory of process that was running when kernel was entered - kernel must be mapped into every process page table, so traps to kernel keep working Problem: - kernel must often access memory of arbitrary processes (e.g. send arbitrary processes messages); this can't happen directly any more; usually because that process' page table isn't loaded at all, sometimes because that memory isn't mapped in at all, sometimes because it isn't mapped in read-write. So: - kernel must be able to map in memory of any process, in its own address space. Implementation: - VM and kernel share a range of memory in which addresses of all page tables of all processes are available. This has two purposes: . Kernel has to know what data to copy in order to map in a range . Kernel has to know where to write the data in order to map it in That last point is because kernel has to write in the currently loaded page table. - Processes and kernel are separated through segments; kernel segments haven't changed. - The kernel keeps the process whose page table is currently loaded in 'ptproc.' - If it wants to map in a range of memory, it writes the value of the page directory entry for that range into the page directory entry in the currently loaded map. There is a slot reserved for such purposes. The kernel can then access this memory directly. - In order to do this, its segment has been increased (and the segments of processes start where it ends). - In the pagefault handler, detect if the kernel is doing 'trappable' memory access (i.e. a pagefault isn't a fatal error) and if so, - set the saved instruction pointer to phys_copy_fault, breaking out of phys_copy - set the saved eax register to the address of the page fault, both for sanity checking and for checking in which of the two ranges that phys_copy was called with the fault occured - Some boot-time processes do not have their own page table, and are mapped in with the kernel, and separated with segments. The kernel detects this using HASPT. If such a process has to be scheduled, any page table will work and no page table switch is done. Major changes in kernel are - When accessing user processes memory, kernel no longer explicitly checks before it does so if that memory is OK. It simply makes the mapping (if necessary), tries to do the operation, and traps the pagefault if that memory isn't present; if that happens, the copy function returns EFAULT. So all of the CHECKRANGE_OR_SUSPEND macros are gone. - Kernel no longer has to copy/read and parse page tables. - A message copying optimisation: when messages are copied, and the recipient isn't mapped in, they are copied into a buffer in the kernel. This is done in QueueMess. The next time the recipient is scheduled, this message is copied into its memory. This happens in schedcheck(). This eliminates the mapping/copying step for messages, and makes it easier to deliver messages. This eliminates soft_notify. - Kernel no longer creates a page table at all, so the vm_setbuf and pagetable writing in memory.c is gone. Minor changes in kernel are - ipc_stats thrown out, wasn't used - misc flags all renamed to MF_* - NOREC_* macros to enter and leave functions that should not be called recursively; just sanity checks really - code to fully decode segment selectors and descriptors to print on exceptions - lots of vmassert()s added, only executed if DEBUG_VMASSERT is 1
