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
