Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386, mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture port. . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more, but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/. . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include. . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now, architecture-independent functions. . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls and live in arch/i386/do_* now. . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386). If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture. . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only i386. . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib) . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready . fixes for new include files files deleted: . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386 . klib86.s - only for 86 i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/: . mpx386.s (entry point) . klib386.s . sconst.h . exception.c . protect.c . protect.h . i8269.c

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

Complete ovehaul of mode switching code - after a trap to kernel, the code automatically switches to kernel stack, in the future local to the CPU - k_reenter variable replaced by a test whether the CS is kernel cs or not. The information is passed further if needed. Removes a global variable which would need to be cpu local - no need for global variables describing the exception or trap context. This information is kept on stack and a pointer to this structure is passed to the C code as a single structure - removed loadedcr3 variable and its use replaced by reading the %cr3 register - no need to redisable interrupts in restart() as they are already disabled. - unified handling of traps that push and don't push errorcode - removed save() function as the process context is not saved directly to process table but saved as required by the trap code. Essentially it means that save() code is inlined everywhere not only in the exception handling routine - returning from syscall is more arch independent - it sets the retger in C - top of the x86 stack contains the current CPU id and pointer to the currently scheduled process (the one right interrupted) so the mode switch code can find where to save the context without need to use proc_ptr which will be cpu local in the future and therefore difficult to access in assembler and expensive to access in general - some more clean up of level0 code. No need to read-back the argument passed in %eax from the proc structure. The mode switch code does not clobber %the general registers and hence we can just call what is in %eax - many assebly macros in sconst.h as they will be reused by the apic assembly

The information is passed further if needed. Removes a global variable which would need to be cpu local - no need for global variables describing the exception or trap context. This information is kept on stack and a pointer to this structure is passed to the C code as a single structure - removed loadedcr3 variable and its use replaced by reading the %cr3 register - no need to redisable interrupts in restart() as they are already disabled. - unified handling of traps that push and don't push errorcode - removed save() function as the process context is not saved directly to process table but saved as required by the trap code. Essentially it means that save() code is inlined everywhere not only in the exception handling routine - returning from syscall is more arch independent - it sets the retger in C - top of the x86 stack contains the current CPU id and pointer to the currently scheduled process (the one right interrupted) so the mode switch code can find where to save the context without need to use proc_ptr which will be cpu local in the future and therefore difficult to access in assembler and expensive to access in general - some more clean up of level0 code. No need to read-back the argument passed in %eax from the proc structure. The mode switch code does not clobber %the general registers and hence we can just call what is in %eax - many assebly macros in sconst.h as they will be reused by the apic assembly

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

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

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.

Complete ovehaul of mode switching code - after a trap to kernel, the code automatically switches to kernel stack, in the future local to the CPU - k_reenter variable replaced by a test whether the CS is kernel cs or not. The information is passed further if needed. Removes a global variable which would need to be cpu local - no need for global variables describing the exception or trap context. This information is kept on stack and a pointer to this structure is passed to the C code as a single structure - removed loadedcr3 variable and its use replaced by reading the %cr3 register - no need to redisable interrupts in restart() as they are already disabled. - unified handling of traps that push and don't push errorcode - removed save() function as the process context is not saved directly to process table but saved as required by the trap code. Essentially it means that save() code is inlined everywhere not only in the exception handling routine - returning from syscall is more arch independent - it sets the retger in C - top of the x86 stack contains the current CPU id and pointer to the currently scheduled process (the one right interrupted) so the mode switch code can find where to save the context without need to use proc_ptr which will be cpu local in the future and therefore difficult to access in assembler and expensive to access in general - some more clean up of level0 code. No need to read-back the argument passed in %eax from the proc structure. The mode switch code does not clobber %the general registers and hence we can just call what is in %eax - many assebly macros in sconst.h as they will be reused by the apic assembly

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

NMI watchdog is an awesome feature for debugging locked up kernels. There is not that much use for it on a single CPU, however, deadlock between kernel and system task can be delected. Or a runaway loop. If a kernel gets locked up the timer interrupts don't occure (as all interrupts are disabled in kernel mode). The only chance is to interrupt the kernel by a non-maskable interrupt. This patch generates NMIs using performance counters. It uses the most widely available performace counters. As the performance counters are highly model-specific this patch is not guaranteed to work on every machine. Unfortunately this is also true for KVM :-/ On the other hand adding this feature for other models is not extremely difficult and the framework makes it hopefully easy enough. Depending on the frequency of the CPU an NMI is generated at most about every 0.5s If the cpu's speed is less then 2Ghz it is generated at most every 1s. In general an NMI is generated much less often as the performance counter counts down only if the cpu is not idle. Therefore the overhead of this feature is fairly minimal even if the load is high. Uppon detecting that the kernel is locked up the kernel dumps the state of the kernel registers and panics. Local APIC must be enabled for the watchdog to work. The code is _always_ compiled in, however, it is only enabled if watchdog=<non-zero> is set in the boot monitor. One corner case is serial console debugging. As dumping a lot of stuff to the serial link may take a lot of time, the watchdog does not detect lockups during this time!!! as it would result in too many false positives. 10 nmi have to be handled before the lockup is detected. This means something between ~5s to 10s. Another corner case is that the watchdog is enabled only after the paging is enabled as it would be pure madness to try to get it right.

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

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.
