74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

Support for FLOPPY in boot image. (Set controller=fd at boot monitor.)
Moved major device numbers to <minix/dmap.h> (maybe rename to dev.h?)

89cf745fe2 Single boot driver loaded, while multiple can be included in the boot image.
The user needs to set label=... to choose the driver of his or her choice.
This driver will be mapped onto the controller that is set in controller=...

Minor cleanup of kernel source code (boot image table now is static).

b69ca94efb Fixed 'bug' in log driver that caused kernel messages not to be displayed.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.

Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.

6e8f484b3b . added cd-probe logic; tries to find the right root filesystem
if the boot monitor parameter is set. it also sets a boot monitor
  parameter (by talking to the PM) so userland knows it.
. ramdisk copy code made slightly smarter
. various select() prettifications (work in progress)

f1153541c7 Fixed bug in PM that caused update program not to be scheduled, so that
sync was not periodically run. Chain of timers was accidentially broken.

Kernel sends SIGKSTOP signal on shutdown. FS calls sync to clean up.

f2e16763e7 Removed PM signon for INET. Now daemonized in /usr/etc/rc.

42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

d844d2a547 Fixed nasty bug that would cause FS to loop forever in rw_scattered (while
syncing, for instance) if blocks are unwritable. This could happen if:

  . write goes beyond device boundary to a block device
  . write is done for a complete block or more; thus the
    block is not retrieved first (at which point it would be noticed
    it doesn't exist), but the buffer is simply allocated
  . at write time, the device i/o doesn't succeed, but rw_scattered
    doesn't understand this and loops forever trying to get the block
    written.

Currently, if no blocks can be written, the loop aborts, leaving all
buffers intact but potentially dirty. When invalidate() is called on the
device, the buffers will disappear (even if dirty). Same story for if
the buffer is removed due to rmed from lru chain. There's not much we
can do about this, however - we can't keep these blocks around, forever
occupying a buffer in the buffer cache.

The second part of the solution is not to let unwritable buffers be
created in the first place. How to do this, however, without doing a
wasteful read first?

It looks like this code was in 2.0.4 too.

9664ba0c4f Started select() implementation.
Added interface to select() for pipes (also named pipes), and select()
stubs for regular files.

Added timer library in FS that select() is the first customer of.


This is unfinished, but committed anyway to get a new release out to
Al and testers.

c2cd510adf Removed debug dumps from the PM and FS servers. The dumps are now done by the
IS servers, which obtains a copy of the data through the getsysinfo() system
call. CTRL-F1 now is a special TTY key to shows function key mappings.
2005-06-07 14:43:35 +00:00

2f74381dcc Fixed 'ps' utility: now get process table addresses with getsysinfo() calls.
To be done: get copies of process tables instead of using /dev/(k)mem.

e44e9ad261 small compile fixes; initial select() stubs; release.sh script doesn't
need /tmp any more since 16MB root device; increase to 3.0.5 to make new
CD with working FXP driver. (not tagged 3.0.5 yet as at driver bios-copy
workaround hasn't been done.)

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* Removed some variants of the SYS_GETINFO calls from the kernel;
  replaced them with new PM and utils libary functionality. Fixed
  bugs in utils library that used old get_kenv() variant.
* Implemented a buffer in the kernel to gather random data.
  Memory driver periodically checks this for /dev/random.
  A better random algorithm can now be implemented in the driver.
  Removed SYS_RANDOM; the SYS_GETINFO call is used instead.
* Remove SYS_KMALLOC from the kernel. Memory allocation can now
  be done at the process manager with new 'other' library functions.

d0b5cf84cb Undid usage of vector-copy function. It's a good idea but there's a bug
there somewhere. I'll debug first, then recommit.

6d23f072f3 Cleaned up src/lib/utils library. Renamed server_ functions to more logical
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
