. an instruction fetch pagefault generates a prefetch
abort exception, this should also be a source of
a pagefault event
. the saved_lr argument to the C exception handler was
sometimes an address, sometimes a pointer to that address;
the kernel sometimes dereferences it, so it should always be
an in-kernel address, never a userspace address. fix in mpx.S
makes it always a pointer.
. move dumping of all processes over serial out of
the arch-specific arch_system.c
. add receive hooks in the kernel to print asynchronously
delivered messages
. do not rely on MF_REPLY_PEND to decide between calls and errors,
as that isn't reliable for asynchronous messages; try both instead
. add _sendcall() that extract-mfield.sh can then reliably recognize
the fields for messages that are sent with just send()
. add DEBUG_DUMPIPC_NAMES to restrict printed messages to
from/to given process names

Old realtime was used for both timers (where an accurate count of
all ticks is needed) and the system time. In order to implement
adjtime(2), these duties must be separated as changing the time
of day by a small amount shouldn't affect timers in any way nor
should it change the boot time.
Following the naming of the clocks used by clock_gettime(2). The
clock named 'realtime' will represent the best guess at the
current wall clock time, and the clock named 'monotonic' will
represent the absolute time the system has been running.
Use monotonic for timers in kernel and in drivers. Use realtime
for determining time of day, dates, etc.
This commit simply renames realtime to monotonic and adds a new
tick counter named realtime. There are no functional changes in
this commit. It just lays the foundation for future work.

state is usually not in p_reg any more with sysenter/syscall trap entries,
so when saving/restarting do_ipc invocations the state has to be remembered
explicitly.
Coverity was flagging a recursive include between kernel.h and
cpulocals.h. As cpulocals.h also included proc.h, we can move that
include statement into kernel.h, and clean up the source files'
include statements accordingly.
. map all objects named usermapped_*.o with globally visible
pages; usermapped_glo_*.o with the VM 'global' bit on, i.e.
permanently in tlb (very scarce resource!)
. added kinfo, machine, kmessages and loadinfo for a start
. modified log, tty to make use of the shared messages struct
. some strncpy/strcpy to strlcpy conversions
. new <minix/param.h> to avoid including other minix headers
that have colliding definitions with library and commands code,
causing parse warnings
. removed some dead code / assignments
This commit removes all traces of Minix segments (the text/data/stack
memory map abstraction in the kernel) and significance of Intel segments
(hardware segments like CS, DS that add offsets to all addressing before
page table translation). This ultimately simplifies the memory layout
and addressing and makes the same layout possible on non-Intel
architectures.
There are only two types of addresses in the world now: virtual
and physical; even the kernel and processes have the same virtual
address space. Kernel and user processes can be distinguished at a
glance as processes won't use 0xF0000000 and above.
No static pre-allocated memory sizes exist any more.
Changes to booting:
. The pre_init.c leaves the kernel and modules exactly as
they were left by the bootloader in physical memory
. The kernel starts running using physical addressing,
loaded at a fixed location given in its linker script by the
bootloader. All code and data in this phase are linked to
this fixed low location.
. It makes a bootstrap pagetable to map itself to a
fixed high location (also in linker script) and jumps to
the high address. All code and data then use this high addressing.
. All code/data symbols linked at the low addresses is prefixed by
an objcopy step with __k_unpaged_*, so that that code cannot
reference highly-linked symbols (which aren't valid yet) or vice
versa (symbols that aren't valid any more).
. The two addressing modes are separated in the linker script by
collecting the unpaged_*.o objects and linking them with low
addresses, and linking the rest high. Some objects are linked
twice, once low and once high.
. The bootstrap phase passes a lot of information (e.g. free memory
list, physical location of the modules, etc.) using the kinfo
struct.
. After this bootstrap the low-linked part is freed.
. The kernel maps in VM into the bootstrap page table so that VM can
begin executing. Its first job is to make page tables for all other
boot processes. So VM runs before RS, and RS gets a fully dynamic,
VM-managed address space. VM gets its privilege info from RS as usual
but that happens after RS starts running.
. Both the kernel loading VM and VM organizing boot processes happen
using the libexec logic. This removes the last reason for VM to
still know much about exec() and vm/exec.c is gone.
Further Implementation:
. All segments are based at 0 and have a 4 GB limit.
. The kernel is mapped in at the top of the virtual address
space so as not to constrain the user processes.
. Processes do not use segments from the LDT at all; there are
no segments in the LDT any more, so no LLDT is needed.
. The Minix segments T/D/S are gone and so none of the
user-space or in-kernel copy functions use them. The copy
functions use a process endpoint of NONE to realize it's
a physical address, virtual otherwise.
. The umap call only makes sense to translate a virtual address
to a physical address now.
. Segments-related calls like newmap and alloc_segments are gone.
. All segments-related translation in VM is gone (vir2map etc).
. Initialization in VM is simpler as no moving around is necessary.
. VM and all other boot processes can be linked wherever they wish
and will be mapped in at the right location by the kernel and VM
respectively.
Other changes:
. The multiboot code is less special: it does not use mb_print
for its diagnostics any more but uses printf() as normal, saving
the output into the diagnostics buffer, only printing to the
screen using the direct print functions if a panic() occurs.
. The multiboot code uses the flexible 'free memory map list'
style to receive the list of free memory if available.
. The kernel determines the memory layout of the processes to
a degree: it tells VM where the kernel starts and ends and
where the kernel wants the top of the process to be. VM then
uses this entire range, i.e. the stack is right at the top,
and mmap()ped bits of memory are placed below that downwards,
and the break grows upwards.
Other Consequences:
. Every process gets its own page table as address spaces
can't be separated any more by segments.
. As all segments are 0-based, there is no distinction between
virtual and linear addresses, nor between userspace and
kernel addresses.
. Less work is done when context switching, leading to a net
performance increase. (8% faster on my machine for 'make servers'.)
. The layout and configuration of the GDT makes sysenter and syscall
possible.
. remove some call cycles by low-level functions invoking printf(); e.g.
send_sig() gets a return value that the caller should check
. reason: very-early-phase printf() would trigger a printf() causing
infinite recursion -> GPF
. move serial initialization a little earlier so DEBUG_EXTRA works for
serial earlier (e.g. its first instance, for "cstart")
. closes tracker item 583:
System Fails to Complete Startup with Verbose 2 and 3 Boot Parameters,
reported by Stephen Hatton / pikpik.
Previously, user processes could cause a kernel panic upon FPU state
restore, by passing bogus FPU state to the kernel (through e.g.
sigreturn). With this patch, the process is now sent a SIGFPE signal
instead.
- we must not deliver messages from/to unstable address spaces.
In such a case, we must postpone the delivery. To make sute
that a process which is expecting an asynchronous message does
not starve, we must remember that we skipped delivery of some
messages and we must try to deliver again once the source
address space is stable again.
- has_pending() takes a special argument that tells the code
whether we are scanning for asynchronous message or something
else.
- has_pending() is not used directly anymore
- the new functions are wrappings around has_pending() to make
the use more comfortable.
- these functions should become static inline eventually
- time stops if there is no activity and the timer expired before
we halted the cpu
- restart_local_timer() checks if the timer has expired and if so it
restarts it
- we do the same when switching back to userspace
- skip processes that are not asynsending to the target
- do not clear whole asynsend table upon IPC permission error
- be more accepting when one table entry is bogus later on
completed (successfully or not). AMF_NOTIFY_ERR can be used if the sender
only wishes to be notified in case of an error (e.g., EDEADSRCDST). A new
endpoint ASYNCM will be the sender of the notification.
- flush TLB of processes only if the page tables has been changed and
the page tables of this process are already loaded on this cpu which
means that there might be stale entries in TLB. Until now SMP was
always flushing TLB to make sure everything is consistent.
- accidentaly this wasn't part of the SMP merge and the implementation
remained uncomplete with the timer keeping ticking periodically
- APIC timer is set for a signel shot and restarted everytime it
expires. This way we can keep the AP's trully idle
- the timer is restarted a little later before leaving to userspace
- LAPIC_TIMER_ICR is written before LAPIC_LVTTR so the newest value is
used
- the Intel architecture cycle counter (performance counter) does not
count when the CPU is idle therefore we use busy loop instead of
halting the cpu when there is nothing to schedule
- the downside is that handling interrupts may be accounted as idle
time if a sample is taken before we get out of the nested trap and
pick a new process
- contributed by Bjorn Swift
- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
message.
- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.
- when a process is migrated to a different CPU it may have an active
FPU context in the processor registers. We must save it and migrate
it together with the process.
- this makes sure that each process always run with updated TLB
- this is the simplest way how to achieve the consistency. As it means
significant performace degradation when not require, this is nto the
final solution and will be refined
- APIC timer always reprogrammed if expired
- timer tick never happens when in kernel => never immediate return
from userspace to kernel because of a buffered interrupt
- renamed argument to lapic_set_timer_one_shot()
- removed arch_ prefix from timer functions
