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

Mostly bugfixes of bugs triggered by the test set. bugfixes: SYSTEM: . removed rc->p_priv->s_flags = 0; for the priv struct shared by all user processes in get_priv(). this should only be done once. doing a SYS_PRIV_USER in sys_privctl() caused the flags of all user processes to be reset, so they were no longer PREEMPTIBLE. this happened when RS executed a policy script. (this broke test1 in the test set) VFS/MFS: . chown can change the mode of a file, and chmod arguments are only part of the full file mode so the full filemode is slightly magic. changed these calls so that the final modes are returned to VFS, so that the vnode can be kept up-to-date. (this broke test11 in the test set) MFS: . lookup() checked for sizeof(string) instead of sizeof(user_path), truncating long path names (caught by test 23) . truncate functions neglected to update ctime (this broke test16) VFS: . corner case of an empty filename lookup caused fields of a request not to be filled in in the lookup functions, not making it clear that the lookup had failed, causing messages to garbage processes, causing strange failures. (caught by test 30) . trust v_size in vnode when doing reads or writes on non-special files, truncating i/o where necessary; this is necessary for pipes, as MFS can't tell when a pipe has been truncated without it being told explicitly each time. when the last reader/writer on a pipe closes, tell FS about the new size using truncate_vn(). (this broke test 25, among others) . permission check for chdir() had disappeared; added a forbidden() call (caught by test 23) new code, shouldn't change anything: . introduced RTS_SET, RTS_UNSET, and RTS_ISSET macro's, and their LOCK variants. These macros set and clear the p_rts_flags field, causing a lot of duplicated logic like old_flags = rp->p_rts_flags; /* save value of the flags */ rp->p_rts_flags &= ~NO_PRIV; if (old_flags != 0 && rp->p_rts_flags == 0) lock_enqueue(rp); to change into the simpler RTS_LOCK_UNSET(rp, NO_PRIV); so the macros take care of calling dequeue() and enqueue() (or lock_*()), as the case may be). This makes the code a bit more readable and a bit less fragile. . removed return code from do_clocktick in CLOCK as it currently never replies . removed some debug code from VFS . fixed grant debug message in device.c preemptive checks, tests, changes: . added return code checks of receive() to SYSTEM and CLOCK . O_TRUNC should never arrive at MFS (added sanity check and removed O_TRUNC code) . user_path declared with PATH_MAX+1 to let it be null-terminated . checks in MFS to see if strings passed by VFS are null-terminated IS: . static irq name table thrown out

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

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.

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.

'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.

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

Mostly bugfixes of bugs triggered by the test set. bugfixes: SYSTEM: . removed rc->p_priv->s_flags = 0; for the priv struct shared by all user processes in get_priv(). this should only be done once. doing a SYS_PRIV_USER in sys_privctl() caused the flags of all user processes to be reset, so they were no longer PREEMPTIBLE. this happened when RS executed a policy script. (this broke test1 in the test set) VFS/MFS: . chown can change the mode of a file, and chmod arguments are only part of the full file mode so the full filemode is slightly magic. changed these calls so that the final modes are returned to VFS, so that the vnode can be kept up-to-date. (this broke test11 in the test set) MFS: . lookup() checked for sizeof(string) instead of sizeof(user_path), truncating long path names (caught by test 23) . truncate functions neglected to update ctime (this broke test16) VFS: . corner case of an empty filename lookup caused fields of a request not to be filled in in the lookup functions, not making it clear that the lookup had failed, causing messages to garbage processes, causing strange failures. (caught by test 30) . trust v_size in vnode when doing reads or writes on non-special files, truncating i/o where necessary; this is necessary for pipes, as MFS can't tell when a pipe has been truncated without it being told explicitly each time. when the last reader/writer on a pipe closes, tell FS about the new size using truncate_vn(). (this broke test 25, among others) . permission check for chdir() had disappeared; added a forbidden() call (caught by test 23) new code, shouldn't change anything: . introduced RTS_SET, RTS_UNSET, and RTS_ISSET macro's, and their LOCK variants. These macros set and clear the p_rts_flags field, causing a lot of duplicated logic like old_flags = rp->p_rts_flags; /* save value of the flags */ rp->p_rts_flags &= ~NO_PRIV; if (old_flags != 0 && rp->p_rts_flags == 0) lock_enqueue(rp); to change into the simpler RTS_LOCK_UNSET(rp, NO_PRIV); so the macros take care of calling dequeue() and enqueue() (or lock_*()), as the case may be).

Rewrite of boot process KERNEL CHANGES: - The kernel only knows about privileges of kernel tasks and the root system process (now RS). - Kernel tasks and the root system process are the only processes that are made schedulable by the kernel at startup. All the other processes in the boot image don't get their privileges set at startup and are inhibited from running by the RTS_NO_PRIV flag. - Removed the assumption on the ordering of processes in the boot image table. System processes can now appear in any order in the boot image table. - Privilege ids can now be assigned both statically or dynamically. The kernel assigns static privilege ids to kernel tasks and the root system process. Each id is directly derived from the process number. - User processes now all share the static privilege id of the root user process (now INIT). - sys_privctl split: we have more calls now to let RS set privileges for system processes. SYS_PRIV_ALLOW / SYS_PRIV_DISALLOW are only used to flip the RTS_NO_PRIV flag and allow / disallow a process from running. SYS_PRIV_SET_SYS / SYS_PRIV_SET_USER are used to set privileges for a system / user process. - boot image table flags split: PROC_FULLVM is the only flag that has been moved out of the privilege flags and is still maintained in the boot image table. All the other privilege flags are out of the kernel now. RS CHANGES: - RS is the only user-space process who gets to run right after in-kernel startup. - RS uses the boot image table from the kernel and three additional boot image info table (priv table, sys table, dev table) to complete the initialization of the system. - RS checks that the entries in the priv table match the entries in the boot image table to make sure that every process in the boot image gets schedulable. - RS only uses static privilege ids to set privileges for system services in the boot image. - RS includes basic memory management support to allocate the boot image buffer dynamically during initialization. The buffer shall contain the executable image of all the system services we would like to restart after a crash. - First step towards decoupling between resource provisioning and resource requirements in RS: RS must know what resources it needs to restart a process and what resources it has currently available. This is useful to tradeoff reliability and resource consumption. When required resources are missing, the process cannot be restarted. In that case, in the future, a system flag will tell RS what to do. For example, if CORE_PROC is set, RS should trigger a system-wide panic because the system can no longer function correctly without a core system process. PM CHANGES: - The process tree built at initialization time is changed to have INIT as root with pid 0, RS child of INIT and all the system services children of RS. This is required to make RS in control of all the system services. - PM no longer registers labels for system services in the boot image. This is now part of RS's initialization process.

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.
