* 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.

#ifndef SYSTEM_H

/* 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.

Merge of David's ptrace branch. Summary: o Support for ptrace T_ATTACH/T_DETACH and T_SYSCALL o PM signal handling logic should now work properly, even with debuggers being present o Asynchronous PM/VFS protocol, full IPC support for senda(), and AMF_NOREPLY senda() flag DETAILS Process stop and delay call handling of PM: o Added sys_runctl() kernel call with sys_stop() and sys_resume() aliases, for PM to stop and resume a process o Added exception for sending/syscall-traced processes to sys_runctl(), and matching SIGKREADY pseudo-signal to PM o Fixed PM signal logic to deal with requests from a process after stopping it (so-called "delay calls"), using the SIGKREADY facility o Fixed various PM panics due to race conditions with delay calls versus VFS calls o Removed special PRIO_STOP priority value o Added SYS_LOCK RTS kernel flag, to stop an individual process from running while modifying its process structure Signal and debugger handling in PM: o Fixed debugger signals being dropped if a second signal arrives when the debugger has not retrieved the first one o Fixed debugger signals being sent to the debugger more than once o Fixed debugger signals unpausing process in VFS; removed PM_UNPAUSE_TR protocol message o Detached debugger signals from general signal logic and from being blocked on VFS calls, meaning that even VFS can now be traced o Fixed debugger being unable to receive more than one pending signal in one process stop o Fixed signal delivery being delayed needlessly when multiple signals are pending o Fixed wait test for tracer, which was returning for children that were not waited for o Removed second parallel pending call from PM to VFS for any process o Fixed process becoming runnable between exec() and debugger trap o Added support for notifying the debugger before the parent when a debugged child exits o Fixed debugger death causing child to remain stopped forever o Fixed consistently incorrect use of _NSIG Extensions to ptrace(): o Added T_ATTACH and T_DETACH ptrace request, to attach and detach a debugger to and from a process o Added T_SYSCALL ptrace request, to trace system calls o Added T_SETOPT ptrace request, to set trace options o Added TO_TRACEFORK trace option, to attach automatically to children of a traced process o Added TO_ALTEXEC trace option, to send SIGSTOP instead of SIGTRAP upon a successful exec() of the tracee o Extended T_GETUSER ptrace support to allow retrieving a process's priv structure o Removed T_STOP ptrace request again, as it does not help implementing debuggers properly o Added MINIX3-specific ptrace test (test42) o Added proper manual page for ptrace(2) Asynchronous PM/VFS interface: o Fixed asynchronous messages not being checked when receive() is called with an endpoint other than ANY o Added AMF_NOREPLY senda() flag, preventing such messages from satisfying the receive part of a sendrec() o Added asynsend3() that takes optional flags; asynsend() is now a #define passing in 0 as third parameter o Made PM/VFS protocol asynchronous; reintroduced tell_fs() o Made PM_BASE request/reply number range unique o Hacked in a horrible temporary workaround into RS to deal with newly revealed RS-PM-VFS race condition triangle until VFS is asynchronous System signal handling: o Fixed shutdown logic of device drivers; removed old SIGKSTOP signal o Removed is-superuser check from PM's do_procstat() (aka getsigset()) o Added sigset macros to allow system processes to deal with the full signal set, rather than just the POSIX subset Miscellaneous PM fixes: o Split do_getset into do_get and do_set, merging common code and making structure clearer o Fixed setpriority() being able to put to sleep processes using an invalid parameter, or revive zombie processes o Made find_proc() global; removed obsolete proc_from_pid() o Cleanup here and there Also included: o Fixed false-positive boot order kernel warning o Removed last traces of old NOTIFY_FROM code THINGS OF POSSIBLE INTEREST o It should now be possible to run PM at any priority, even lower than user processes o No assumptions are made about communication speed between PM and VFS, although communication must be FIFO o A debugger will now receive incoming debuggee signals at kill time only; the process may not yet be fully stopped o A first step has been made towards making the SYSTEM task preemptible

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.

_PROTOTYPE( int do_privctl, (struct proc * caller, message *m_ptr) );
- 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.

Merge of Wu's GSOC 09 branch (src.20090525.r4372.wu) Main changes: - COW optimization for safecopy. - safemap, a grant-based interface for sharing memory regions between processes. - Integration with safemap and complete rework of DS, supporting new data types natively (labels, memory ranges, memory mapped ranges). - For further information: http://wiki.minix3.org/en/SummerOfCode2009/MemoryGrants Additional changes not included in the original Wu's branch: - Fixed unhandled case in VM when using COW optimization for safecopy in case of a block that has already been shared as SMAP. - Better interface and naming scheme for sys_saferevmap and ds_retrieve_map calls. - Better input checking in syslib: check for page alignment when creating memory mapping grants. - DS notifies subscribers when an entry is deleted. - Documented the behavior of indirect grants in case of memory mapping. - Test suite in /usr/src/test/safeperf|safecopy|safemap|ds/* reworked and extended. - Minor fixes and general cleanup. - TO-DO: Grant ids should be generated and managed the way endpoints are to make sure grant slots are never misreused.

#endif /* SYSTEM_H */
Reorganized system call library; uses separate file per call now. New configuration header file to include/ exclude functionality. Extracted privileged features from struct proc and create new struct priv. Renamed various system calls for readability.
